What are your thoughts on real sugar vs. fake (Sweet and Low, Splenda, Equal)? I'm a big coffee drinker and for years I've been taking it with skim milk and three Equal. If I drink 1-2 cups per day would I be better off switching to 3-6 real sugars and putting in the calorie count? I've heard some media reports about diet soda, but I haven't taken the time to read the papers so I didn't know if it was a correlation or causation.
