I'll be honest, I can't take my coffee or tea without scads of milk and sugar. With tea, one can use honey, it's true, but not so much with coffee. I've found that vanilla lattes and getting my lattes medium with only one espresso shot make it so I can use less sugar (actually, with vanilla ones, all the sweetener is in the flavoring, I add nothing else).

I believe someone here said that Peet's Vanilla syrup is sugar based, not HFCS, so that's helpful. I'm not *as* concerned about the sugar thing as everything else, because in cutting down on the amount of soda I drink, I'm automatically cutting huge amounts of sugar out.

Oh, has anyone else discovered Fresca? I've had that the last few nights instead of Coke with my dinner.

When I was a kid, we would drive from L.A. to our house/cabin in Coulterville every summer. The only soda I was ever allowed to drink was during this vacation. I had 2 options, Tab and Fresca. I have not been able to drink either since. This was more than 30 years ago, when the sugar substitute was saccharine.
