I cannot eat or drink anything with aspartame, but, Donuel, do you have a reliable cite for the FAA ban? All I could find at the FAA site was this page which features an excerpt from a "how to jettison the fat" book by an FAA medical person. He lists aspartame as an acceptable *food.* Not that I agree, but I still couldn't find anything about a ban for pilots. Snopes had nothing either.

I quit drinking colas of any kind many years ago. I do an occasional Sprite or Sierra Mist, but NEVER diet...I'll take my chances with the sugar, instead.:-)
