I'm curious on how different the effect is between unmetabolized sweeteners like Splenda and something that is metabolized like aspartame. But yeah, I'm baby stepping my way towards dropping sweeteners altogether after finally getting used to black coffee, I'm trying to acclimate to green tea. I don't think I'll ever be a hydro homie.
