You assumed I was making an assumption? I was only telling you that I only drink water. When I said that we probably don't have anything in common I meant other things besides drinking. Anyway, you are always making assumptions about me. So now you know how it feels. If you don't use artificial sweetners, why are you so defensive about them?

What happens in a petri dish or test tube doesn't always work in a human body....and not all the books published by biologists, some physicians and nutritionalists are gospel.
Questioning is good. But what does your education tell you about amature reporters and the people they interview? What was your specialty?
