the drink is sweet too. It's good.. but I'm trying to figure out if it has aspartame.. which it doesn't unless it's renamed.

It is flavored psychically. By clever wording and subliminal label designs, the suggestion is planted that the drink is sweet, and your unconscious latches on and runs with it. Congratulations, you're drinking ball sweat and thinking it's Crystal Light©

Why be interested in Nutrasweet, when there's additives in that "health" drink that could kill a person outright? :/

Somebody failed basic algebra. If A=B, then B=A is also true. What are you trying to say here, Lassie? If you're implying that Splenda is the trade name and sucralose is the ingredient name, it would have been clearer if you had just said that in the first place.

Potassium and caffeine.

It could be fast death for someone with an undetected heart or kidney disease ailment.

Potassium can be EXTREMELY deadly. Remember how Karen Carpenter died? She died due to a lack of potassium, the same can occur if there's too much in the body (some drinks can push 400+mgs of potassium into a body in one cup, which can cause the heart to defib, especially if folks that take any potassium sparing meds, dehydrated, or have a kidney dysfunction).
