Do you really think I would drink that much water? With the smaller ones at least I can renew the water everyday or sometimes trwice.

I have no complaints about the filter, the water taste a lot better. We do not have cloudy water, just horrid taste. Maybe it is because if comes from Wales and have to travel so far.

Anyway that thing you have got is far too expensive.

I never said that, in fact I did say I do buy some stuff with Aspartame in, but I do try and avoid if possible.

But you avoid it just incase something is found to be wrong with it in the future?

I don't know whether aspartame is bad for you or not, but I do know Robinson's orange squash now tastes bloody awful. It's the same with all these diet drinks. Why can't they invent a sweetener that tastes the same as sugar?

They have. Well, they didn't invent it, it's natural. It's called Stevia.

And aspartame isn't bad for you in normal doses.

They use stevia in Coke Life don't they? That doesn't taste the same as normal Coke.

I give up with most dilute drinks as they are nearly all no added sugar now and taste like crap.

Aspartame is a chemical. Why on earth would anyone want to eat/drink this? You are what you eat. Why put chemicals into your body? Sugar is bad for you, however at least we know what it is and as long as you have it in moderation/don't have too much then you should be fine.

There are lots of chemicals we consume on a daily basis. For 99% of people Aspartame does them zero harm.
