Are you kidding me?
Ace-K has been around for awhile, as I found after I had an unpleasant
experience with it earlier this year. I thought it tasted vile and did have
a distinct aftertaste, at least when used in a drink. They use the same
potassium salts to make the fake salt you see in the diet section. Bleah
bleah!I don't know about cooking with it.

I do agree with your about Nutrasweet. I don't like it and one soda is
enough to lay me out flat with a migraine.

Hey Stefan- is any of teh the sugar/fake sugar stuff in your files? We've
talked this one to death before, haven't we?
