My wife and I have been drinking the Nutrasweet sweetened soft drinks (Kool-aid,
Wyler's, Crystal light, and very rarely soda) since they first came out.  One
effect that we have noticed is that any of the NutraSweet stuff produces a
diuretic effect shortly after drinking it.  A glass of koolaid in the evening
and we are up several times in the night.  A NutraSweet pop in the morning
and my wife can't venture far from a restroom all day.

Has anyone else noticed this effect?  We have also noticed that our 15-month
old son (who gets his koolaid diluted to 25% v/v with water) has the same
problem.  A water or milk bottle before bedtime and he will sleep through the
night dry, but a koolaid bottle (or glass - even 3 oz. of the dilute) for
supper and we will have to change him and his bed twice before morning.

We would like to hear if anyone else has this problem, or if anyone knows
what in the NutraSweet would cause this.
