Never made any sense to me that drinking one 280 calorie coke was worse than drinking an entire truck load of zero calorie cokes.

Well, those studies didn't account for people who aren't supposed to have sugar now, did they?

I should have specified as far as they were talking about weight management.
Do artificial sweeteners affect your level of sugars or whatever they test when they poke their fingertips?

They don't affect my sugar at all. Oddly enough, sugar in strict moderation doesn't bother me too much. Other carbs are my downfall.

I always get DP at a restaraunt or drink fountain. That way if it's watered down it's still pretty sweet.
