A question for you all...

I've been really wondering about taste perceptions lately, so I've made this little poll.

[Poll #1159175]

Thanks for participating!

My family has such a bad history of severe reactions to artificial sweeteners that I have avoided it. It could range from an annoying headache to "Oh GOD, please kill me now." I just use the real stuff, thanks.

Trust me, I understand. There's a reason that I'm obsessive about reading labels.

The worst is when they change without warning or reason. Carnation instant hot chocolate ... I had been using it for years to make coffee at the work place tolerable. Suddenly I was getting headaches at work ... I happen to read the label, and sure enough, artificial sweetener ... in the non-sugar-free stuff ... it is SUPPOSED to have sugar, yet the put the fake stuff in there. :-(

I know! I have to read the ingredients every time. They never warn you. I'm running out of gum that I can chew. And what's the deal with putting random things in medicine? If it isn't a fake sweetener, it's lactose.

Bloody companies trying to kill us...*grumble*
