Just learned that Pepsi One has more caffeine than most other drinks with
caffeine. Caffeine and high blood pressure don't mix too well. So, I am
looking for a good soft drink using Splenda and no caffeine. Can't use
nutra-sweet as it gives me the gitters, and I don't care for it.

Thanks,

Thanks Kate. At the stores in Fort Worth, the only Diet Pepsi that is
caffeine free uses Aspartame, and I can't have that.

oops.... yes it uses aspartame

why can't you use it? :-(

It gives me the gitters, and I don't like the taste. Splenda tastes better,

I do not claim to know this person's stand on Splenda (Dr. Joseph
Mercola) I merely did a google search for "splenda carbonated beverage"
and picked a site that did not blatantly call it poison. There was
another that was the exact same list (who ripped off whom??) with skulls
and cross bones.

BTW, I use Splenda and like it.

Look for Pepsi One. It always used a mix of aspartame and acesulfame-k,
and strangely tasted like sugared Coke to me. Recent new formulation is
ace-k and splenda. While I love splenda, the old Pepsi-1 tasted better
to me. Worth a try, though.

Pepsi One has more caffeine than Mountain Dew. I have high blood pressure,
so... You know.

Do what you like - but the nonsense written about aspartame
is exactly that - nonsense.

You are severely limiting your food sources as a diabetic.
Similarly, don't get too excited about caffeine unless you
are over-indulging significantly.

You have entered a new game on a new playing field. All bets
are off, you're starting from square one.

Lose your pre-conceptions, start with an open mind. Most of
the things you have been told about fats, carbs, alcohol,
diet, sweeteners, supplements etc over the earlier part of
your life were wrong.

But don't believe me. Do some research of your own, using
Medscape, Highwire, Google Scholar, and your own body.

Also check out subjects like sweeteners, herbals,
supplements etc on Snopes.com, quackwatch.com and similar
sites.

Hi Wayne

Try a different slant. Forget, for the moment, why you have
high BP or what foods may (or may not) make it worse.

What are you doing to make it better? Diet (how)? Exercise?
Meds? Aspirin? Red Wine?

What did your doc recoommend you do, as against what you
shouldn't do?

The whole diet and drink controversy gets overheated
focussing on specific things, like caffeine, alcohol, sugar,
fats etc as "causing problems"; then we get an over-reaction
as people cut back obsessively on those substances.

Moderation is the name of the game. Neither too much, nor
too little. Extremes are the killer.

All the flavours of Diet Rite soda use splenda and have no caffeine
(including their cola). Also, in our supermarket, they have fizzy,
flavoured, bottled water that uses splenda. We buy a lot of those. I think
Walmart has fizzy flavoured water that also uses splenda.

Alan, Caffeine is a psychotropic in the same class as cocaine. *Some*
people react badly to it. I happen to be one who does. It also does
interact with some drugs and so it is suggested that people stop drinking
caffeinated drinks while on those meds.

Since you're not a qualfied doctor, perhaps you should be a little more
careful about what you tell people to "not get too excited" about.

Thank you. I have a Walmarts near me. I know about the Canada Dry drinks
that have just a dab of fruit flavor but no sweetners of any kind. they are
pretty tasty. But, I do enjoy a cola once in a while, and Diet Rite sounds
like just what the doctor ordered.

Hullo Siobhan

I didn't, never pretended to be qualified, and don't pretend
to now.

I presume you snipped that particular bit to show some sort
of emphasis. All I see is a series of questions, no
diagnoses, no prescriptions. I have no qualms in suggesting
that patients ask questions of their doctors about their
treatment.

I seem to have got up your nose with my other comment on
caffeine. You've made some personal anecdotal comments,
would you care to back them up with some cites or support?

I replied to Wayne earlier on a.s.d., which you don't post
on. In that reply I said:

"You've come to the right place, but remember that this is
an unmoderated newsgroup. Be careful who you listen to.
Including me:-)"

He will also have read the sig that I use below. I'm sure
you've seen me use it before too. Incidentally, I like your
sig.

We all three know I'm not a doctor.

He said "Caffeine and high blood pressure don't mix too
well" and, later "Pepsi One has more caffeine than Mountain
Dew. I have high blood pressure, so... You know. "

Nowhere in there did he mention other problems from
caffeine, nor whether his concerns come from medical advice
or his own belief. Nor has he mentioned the volume of drink
involved. He may be unable to ingest caffeine, but he didn't
put it that way.

For me to say "don't get too excited about caffeine unless
you are over-indulging significantly" is hardly dramatic
medical advice. You have a problem - don't presume that
others have. I made a cautionary comment; repeatedly we
advise people on usenet to check everything said here with
their doctor.

You could have approached this dispassionately with a
contrary opinion - or with a personal attack, as you have.

Have I done something in the past to upset you on a personal
basis? If so, I don't remember it.

I love the Diet Rite cola.

Even over Pepsi and Coke.

It is caffiene free and uses Splenda. Tastes great to my taste buds!

The only Splenda sweetened soft drinks I can find are Crush Orange and

It's been so long since I've had a sugared soda, I wouldn't know what
one tastes like!

I like the bubbly aspect of a soda, like well mixed fountain sodas over
bottles or cans and bottles have a different taste than cans. Can't
figure out why that would be. I think they're a little more bubbly.

Love good clear sparkling mineral water with no sweeteners!

Cracks me up - aspartame is poison, splenda is poison, sugar is
poison.... ye gads! Maybe all soft drinks should have a skull & cross
bones on them <g>

Of course, there's nothing like a good clean glass of water - if it's
not polluted (and most water, including bottled, has some unhealthy
chemicals in it!)

It is made by R.C. Cola company, the same company that makes RC. You
remember back in the 60's when it was popular to have an RC and a Moonpie?

What personal attack is that?

I did approach the point I was trying to make dispassionately.

My point was that even "mild" advice such as you stated is still
unqualified medical advice and I *suggested* (note the usage of the word
"perhaps") that it might be better to be more careful about saying such
things in the future. In no part of my post (which I have included in its
entirety here) did I say one negative thing about you, personally. Unless
disagreeing with you and implying by my suggestion that you might have been
less that completely careful is somehow an insult?

I further add that I have not gotten at all personal in my reply to you.

I further add that I have not gotten at all personal in my reply to you.

And since you're being snarky about this, I'll point out that this comment
in no way helps the OP but rather answers a question that the OP didn't
even ask through implication. You decided that the OP was ignorant and
needed to be better informed (instead of just answering his question) and
flat out *told* him not to worry about caffeine.

Your entire post was one order after another directing the OP on how to
choose what to drink and why. You didn't ask if he'd been advised by his
doctor to stop drinking caffeine, you assumed he was listening to some
idiot advice about the "dangers" of aspartame or caffeine, when previous
posts clearly indicated he simply didn't like the taste of it, and he
didn't like how he felt when he drank it.

And no, pet, you've not done anything to me personally, my first response
to you was a mild attempt at tilting your windmill. This post is a stronger
go at your windmill.

It is a peeve of mine that people on usenet don't *answer the damn
question*, and instead tend to go off on the OP, pontificating,
proselytizing, and advising. You didn't answer his question at all, you
instead assumed that all of his decisions were just wrong, and proceeded to
tell him so.

So no, nothing personal unless you think my dislike of posts that don't
actually answer the questions posted says something about you (little hint
here, it doesn't), or you think that there's something somehow "wrong"
about not answering the question.

Interesting word, but translation is not required.

OK. Pax. At least from this end.

You've made your points, I've made mine. We probably agree
on some things, I can agree to disagree on others.

If I think I can assist by offering more info more than was
asked, I still will. If you think that was presumptuous,
you'll probably still tell me. I rarely just post for the
OP, often for the lurkers.

If you want to keep going - up to you. I'm happy to stop
here.

Following up my own post ;-).

I was in Sam's Club yesterday where I found a Nestlé Pure Life product
called Splash which comes in four fruit flavours. 0 carbs, 0 calories,
0 caffeine. http://www.nestle-purelife.ca/engl/home.htm
Thirty two 500ml bottles for CDN $12.73, 8 bottles of each flavour.
The label says it's "Naturally Fruit Flavoured Water Beverage" and in
smaller print elsewhere on the bottle it says "Contains No Juice".
That's tricky.
Rather expensive water but, I seem to have a real problem drinking
straight water and this stuff goes down OK so I'll see how it is after
32 bottles.

Walmart also has a flavored water, Clear America, IIRC. DH likes the black
cherry.

Hi Siobhan!

It pays to ask, doesn't it? I found out that I hate Diet Rite. I hope
that that won't be true of other Splenda-sweetened sodas as manufacturers
make the switch. My favorites right now are Diet A&W root beer and Diet
Orange Crush. On that rare occasion when I want a gin and sour, I'll grab
a 12-pack of Fresca.
