[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 401975, member: 1233"] I get really sick from artificial sweeteners to the point that now I start to wheeze. I also vomit and get a migraine. Even a sitck of wrigleys gum (last package I read had splenda (sucralose) in the regular big red, doublemint and juicyfruit packages - GRRRRRRR!) will cause this reaction. My gfgbro and Wiz both get nasty, viciously mean when they eat too much sugar. it is really really ugly and they were like this as little kids. I would rather be around gfgbro when he is drunk than when he has had a candy bar on an empty stomach - and he is NOT a nice drunk! We don't drink much koolaid. I only have it around for making playdough (makes the most awesome scented and colored playdough and it is very easy and cheap!) but the kids once in a while make it if we run out of lemon juice. We normally drink water or lemonaide or tea. Lemonaide is super easy from scratch - my kids don't even recognize the stuff from the mixes as lemonaide! We just use 1 c of sugar and lemon juice and then water/ice to make a half gallon. Usually we cut the sugar down quite a bit, but that is the basic recipe. I often add 3-4 drops of lemon oil (sold in the candy/cake section of the grocery and Hobby Lobby) because it intensifies the lemon flavor naturally. I have also been known to use true lemon and sugar to make single drink portions of lemonaide to pack with a water bottle for trips. True lemon is dried lemon juice and is awesome to keep in the spice drawer. IT is great for tea because it is much fresher tasting than the packets of lemon juice. It comes in bottles and in individual packets. It also comes in lime and orange. We also love cherry limeade. I use sprite, cherry juice and lime juice or true lime. I have also used lemonaide instead of sprite. This isi the only place I have ever heard of others besides my mom and I who get so sick from splenda and nutrasweet and other artificial sweeteners.
