Yea - I recall vividly from my time attending Weight Watchers pre-baby (which I don't follow anymore - but am still more aware of WTH i'm eating/drinking than I was) that completely nixing certain things you enjoy will usually just make you hit them harder when you fall off the wagon.
So I too do the moderation thing.
As for S&L - there was a more recent study that all the "carcinogen" worries was apparently due to flawed science - at the time, the poor rats where getting like 10x the amount of typical human would *in a human's lifetime* - in which case no wonder the poor things mutated or keeled over. Myself, if I drink tea that wasn't sweetened when warm, I prefer Splenda or S&L. Nutrasweet is nasty to me.
