Most palatable diet sodas?
Having grown up down South, I am a fan of old-time sugar-laden sodas, including some regional favorites like Cheerwine and Sun-Drop (yes, North Carolinian here)... but very happy with Classic Coke and Pepsi, too.
In the last couple of years, as I've struggled to cope with type II diabetes and the concomitant needs to avoid sugar and carbs, lose weight and manage diet (40 lbs off so far... and it's been a struggle every step of the way) I have been a mostly-unhappy diet soda drinker. Of the widely available diet sodas, I think I hate Diet Sprite (recently relabeled Sprite Zero) the least; I don't really care for any of the mass-market diet colas.
The other day, however, I found an absolute revelation: Dr. Brown's Diet Black Cherry Soda. Man, this is some good (if expensive) stuff. Sweetened with aspartame, but you'd never know it.
I eagerly tried a few others in the Dr. Brown's diet line, but was not impressed.
I have been drinking a lot more water and plain seltzer these days, and I'm sure that's healthier for me anyway. But Dr. Brown's Diet Black Cherry Soda has given me hope.
What are some of your favorite diet sodas?
Hi. Congrats on those 40 pounds! I wonder if you've tried Stewart's soft drinks. I'll attach a link for you. It looks like they have two diet choices at this point, root beer, and orange 'n cream. I think the brand is available pretty much everywhere.
All the best, Pat
Orange n cream sounds wonderful. I really love diet Dr. Pepper Berries and Cream.
re: ClaireLiz
Dr. Pepper Berries and Cream? Man, I've missed that one. I've been a Dr. Pepper fan forever. There was a time when it was only available in the southern states. On road trips from New England to Florida, I'd watch for Dr. Pepper signs to start appearing. I still buy the "classic", but will sure look for Berries and Cream! Thanks.
Until fairly recently, I wouldn't drink diet sodas because I felt they were too sweet and had a nasty aftertaste. However, I've found a couple that I actually seek out when shopping: Dr. Brown's Diet Cream Soda and Diet Root Beer and both Seagram's and Schweppes' Diet Ginger Ale. I've never found them in any restaurant, so must continue to order sparkling water or unsweetened iced tea when dining out.
I really, really like Fresca.
It doesn't have that nasty aftertaste, and I find it hits the spot for something fizzy, but not too sweet.
It's easily found in supermarkets too. One less thing to hunt down.
re: hbgrrl
re: hbgrrl
re: hbgrrl
Also, and fwiw, there is some question, apparently, about whether it is okay to drink Fresca (or any grapefruit flavored soda) if one is taking a statin based cholesterol medication. (Apparently, grapefruit and statins use the same chemical pathway in the liver, which can cause problems.)
re: hbgrrl
Diet Dr. Pepper is the best imitation of a non-diet soda. Especially the fountain version. Widely available in the south.
I also like Cherry Fresca for a change of pace. Also, Diet A&W Rootbeer.
I can relate to your problem. I went from 48 cans of Coke Classic per week to nothing cold turkey.
Diet Dr. Pepper, Diet A&W, and Fresca are the best. (Unfortunately cyclamates are not available in the US as they are in Canada.)
Personally, I prefer a good club soda with lemon, lime, or orange squeezed in.
Diet Doctor Browns Cream Soda is a good choice. I also don't mind diet Sprite that much. The new Coke Zero is definitely better than regular Diet Coke. I've recently taken to Fresca on occasion and most diet ginger ales that I've had aren't too bad.
Tab- but only if right from the can, and only if really, really cold. Have loved it since the 70's. Hard to find, so I rarely have it.
re: macca
Yay, Tab! That is my #1 choice and oddly enough it seems to be growing in popularity here in MN. If I go to Byerly's (local chain grocer) on a Friday after 3 PM rarely is any to be found on the shelves and sometimes the store, which is fairly large, has been cleaned out. Then I have to go looking in convenience stores. I will not be denied!
Fresca is also good. I used to like Diet Squirt but years ago the formula changed and somehow now it makes me thirsty.
If you can find it, Barq's diet Root Beer is very good. It doesn't taste like diet soda very much at all. They're known for their cream soda as well. Both are very good. I'm not sure if they have a diet cream soda any more.
Any Diet Dr.Pepper soda is great.
re: Cheese Boy
About 10 years ago, I faced exactly the same problem. I was diagnosed with Type II diabetis, but just couldn't bring myself to give up my Coke Classic. I tried every diet soda on the market, and some other sugarless drink mixes as well, so I have a good idea of what most of them are like.
You don't say whether you are still in the south, but if you are, you have access to my personal favorite - diet sundrop. This is now my drink of choice. But if I can't get it, here are the other things I drink: cystal light peach tea, (this stuff is really, really good, but if you drink as much as I usually do, it has an ingredient in it that will give you the trots), diet dr. pepper, sam's choice (walmart brand) diet lemon lime.
A couple of tips - Most diet cola drinks are truly awful. In my opinion, the fruit flavored sugar free drinks are easier to manage. Maple syrup with no sugar added is delish on pancakes or waffles, you can't tell the difference. A couple of packets of Equal sprinkled on cereal with fresh fruit is even better than sugar.
Good luck with managing your glucose level.
i like the hansen's natural diet sodas in tangerine lime, ginger ale, and root beer. the kiwi strawberry and black cherry are a little too sweet for me.
re: cookie monster
OMG, no. TJ's has Hansen's and I have to disagree. I tried their Diet Root Beer and found it to have a very unappealing aftertaste, actually bordering on horrible. Do yourself a favor and try Barq's (the best), or Stewart's (second best), for good tasting diet Root Beer. You'll thank me for it.
re: cookie monster
Ditto this. The ginger ale and tangerine lime are great.
re: The Ranger
I guess different folks have very different tastes. My husband bought a case of the Hansen's tangerine lime (because we are overseas and can only buy these sorts of things by the case) and it's taken more than a year to make a dent in it. I think it has a strong chemical taste to it and would love nothing more than to empty it all into the sink and get rid of it but my husband keeps claiming he'll eventually drink it. The same goes for the ginger ale, though the main problem is the intense fake ginger flavor. It's just too much. I can only drink it mixed with something else.
Personally, I think Diet Dr. Pepper and Diet Coke are pretty good, though I think the formula for Diet Coke is different in Japan than elsewhere.
Boylan's diet cola is fantastic, but difficult to find.
My regular diet drink of choice is Diet Dr. Pepper. The cherry/almond flaovring masks the aftertaste pretty well.
In fact, when faced with only Diet Pepsi or Coke at a fountain place, I have found that a diet cola that is topped with about 2 oz. of regular Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb is far superior in taste to Diet Coke alone.
If you get Polar sodas in NY, my favorites diets are the Tom Collins mixer and the Orange Dry - but my tastes have always run to the more dry and acidic (citric) than super sweet. Also, I don't know if you caught my messing around with seltzer and syrups, but there were definitely some good diet choices in the sodaclub.com and other syrup sources - including some very sweet options. Here's a pointer:
I have to echo the fan of Hansen's Natural Diet Sodas. I finished 4 months of a very rigorous Chemotherapy protocol and keeping well-hydrated was terribly important. Water became terribly boring. I was warned that the chemo could wreck my teeth. And I liked the fact that Hansen's is sweetened with Splenda.
While I didn't care for the Root Beer, either, I really did like all of the other flavors that were available in my local Trader Joe's (a very good price, too.) And let me tell you, I was probably setting records for being the largest consumer.
Those with citrus were the best, although to start with, the ginger ale wone big points.
I was so hopeful with Diet Dr Brown Black Cherry, my husband lives on the regular one. But every time I drink it, I get terrible stomach pains.Fresca is no problem though.
Now here's the weird thing, I accidently bought Diet Stewarts Orange and Cream, and was going to take it back, but husband started drinking it. I dont think he noticed, even though he has super taste buds. So it must be decent.
I have always been a Fresca fan and it is just grapefruit flavored so I can have it where I am supposed to avoid grapefruit in general. Recently I have become a major fan of La Croix lemon sparkng water. There is no sugar and the bubbles are tine and fine, notbig and coarse as in club soda or tonic water. I do use Schweppes Diet Tonic too. That with a squeeze of lime is almost refreshing as the La Croix lemon. The LC needs to be icy cold. i don't enjoy it as much over ice.
I like Diet Coke, but lately have been preferring Coke zero. It's a little sweeter, I think.
Wild Cherry Diet Pepsi
Diet Dr. Pepper (tastes the most like the regular version, of any diet soda, in my opinion)
Diet Sierra Mist
If you can find diet Kane cola in your area, it is really good too.
I'll drink other diet stuff, but these have the best taste, to me.
I have never found a diet "soda" I like. I can drink Cyrstal Light Lemonade, and since I love fizz, I mix it with a big jug of seltzer water to make "diet lemonade". Recently my nephew who also hates diet drinks, had a Diet Pepsi with Lime. He said it was the only diet drink he liked so I tried it and am now drinking one a day when I get that urge for something sweet or need a caffeine fix. I think everyone's taste buds react differntly to the artificial sweetners so you have to keep trying different things. My husband loves the Diet Rite tangerine, raspberry and white grape. I can't stand them.
re: Susan627
Same here. On those occasions when I've had to be off regular soda (and I don't exactly drink a lot of it), I'll drink plain water before I'll drink diet anything.
But those Crystal Light packets that you mix with a bottle of water aren't all that bad. Better still are the Lipton ones--Mandarin & Mango Green Tea is the best.
I switched to diet sodas when Coke stopped using cane sugar. Although none evoke the passion of Coke when before the changeover, I drink a lot of Caffeine-Free Diet Coke. But if I can help it, I never drink it without a healthy infusion of fresh lemon or lime. Although Zero might be as good if not better "plain," I find the citrus goes better with Diet Coke. The lemon and/or lime combo also go well with diet root beers, too, especially Barq's.
I like Dr. Brown's diet black cherry, too. I taste the chemicals, but some chemicals taste better than others! I know you can't drink the regular version now, enrenvanche, but it is significantly better.
Best of luck with the diabetes and congrats on the weight loss.
I have recently become addicted to Diet Sunkist Orange... if you like Orange, it tastes like childhood to me.
Also, oddly enough, don't know if there's a Walmart near you, but during college, I discovered their in house brand of soda flavored Diet Grapefruit, and man was I addicted to it. I wish there was a Walmart near me now!
The best tasting diet sodas are made with SPLENDA, not aspartame. There is a real difference in taste.
I also buy the different sugar free syrups (made with SPLENDA) from DA VINCI and add to club soda. The cherry with a squeeze of fresh lime makes a great lime rickey. The watermelon is surprisingly delicious.
re: Fleur
re: LisaAZ
DA VINCI sugar free syrups come in an enormous variety of flavors.
Available at http://www.davincigourmet.com/ they have many uses. I use them to make sugar free latte, shakes, and other milk based drinks, and to make fruit ices and summer drinks like lemonade and sodas.
They are very reasonable priced, and come in big bottles with a push pump.
re: LisaAZ
re: Fleur
I'm not a big soda drinker, but my SO is, and he hates that so many companies are switching their recipes to use Splenda, because he can't stand it (neither can I). We're apparently in the minority that finds it vile, with a horrid, lingering aftertaste.
That said, I think some of the best diet sodas are diet Lime Coke, Fresca, Barq's root beer, and diet Berries and Cream Dr. Pepper (I'm not a big fan of original Dr. Pepper, but it definitely is a good diet version if you are).
re: Caitlin McGrath
Caitlin, you are not alone! I too think that Splenda tastes like nothing but chemicals with a horrible lingering aftertaste. I avoid it like the plague.
Back on topic - I think that diet Dr. Pepper is, hands down, the best diet soda out there. It's almost indistinguishable from the full-calorie version. Like others here, I'm also a Fresca fan, but only in the summer and only over ice. We all have our quirks, don't we? :-)
re: Caitlin McGrath
Interesting that your choice should be a black cherry soda: the ONLY artificially sweetend soda I've ever been able to tolerate has been Diet Dr. Pepper, also a black cherry flavor. I know everyone's taste buds are not configured exactly the same, but to mine the good flavors of black cherry and the vile chemical strains of the artificial sweetener almost exactly cancel each other out.
re: rHairing
The Essex Golf Club in Windsor, Ontario has a drink out at their halfway house called a "Brown Cow". It's made with chocolate milk and Vernor's. You pour half a glass of chocolate milk, and then slowly add the Vernor's. (It will fizz up like crazy!) It is delicious.
When I found out I had type II diabetes, I made my own with 1% chocolate milk and Diet Vernor's, and found it just as tasty and refreshing. It's cheating a bit on the sugar, but if you keep topping it up from the can, you can enjoy a really different drink without messing up your diet.
Technically it's not a diet soda, but I started drinking La Croix soda water to wean myself off of Diet Coke (this was a two-step process; first I moved to Caffeine-Free Diet Coke, then later to the La Croix). If you try it, you may find that what you are really craving is the carbonation along with the thirst quenching, more than the sweetness. At least that's what was true for me. I like the lemon La Croix best, but it comes in several flavors and all are ok.
I'm trying to stay away from artificial sweeteners altogether if possible, but I've heard that the new Diet Coke with Splenda tastes better than the one with aspartame.
I read recently that some people with diabetes have observed that aspartame messes up their blood sugar levels, but Splenda does not.
check out http://www.popsoda.com/ it's a great site with tons of interesting sodas, some diet, that you can order online.
re: bogie
I went to Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper after Coke 86'd their Diet Black Cherry Vanilla ( I think Cherry Zero replaced this...)...Man, do I miss that BCV coke- it was the first diet soda that I could stomach.
Proud to that I am diet soda free now- unswettened ice tea is the drink of choice now...
This question was posed on the Home Cooking thread also.
I love the Diet Rite cola with some DaVinci sugarfree cherry syrup or chocolate syrup added. I also love the DaVinci sugarfree syrups with ice cold club soda. One of my favorites is the coconut syrup. I also love the almond syrup. Another great and refreshing summer drink is fresh squeezed lemon juice, some Splenda (or sugar free sweetner of choice) and club soda. Also, try some Barq's Root Beer with a little heavy cream for a low carb desert. Deeeelish!
I love Diet Pepsi Twist (has a little lemon in it), as opposed to the Diet Coke or Pepsi with lime, which I think both are horrible - and I loves limes! However, I thought it was discontinued, as haven't been able to find it for months. Just found 2 cases at our local Ralphs in Newport Beach, CA. Was I wrong about it being discontinued?
At this moment I'm drinking a Boylan's Diet Can Cola. It tastes really good. No cals, no sugar.
But at the bottom of the label it says "Veggie Burger". No, it doesn't taste like a veggie burger. Anyone know why it would say "veggie burger" on it's label?
Again it's very tasty and worth trying. I bought one at BevMo.
I think Pepsi One is a marvel. I am absolutely addicted to it. Coke Zero is good, certainly better than diet coke, but Pepsi One tastes shockingly like...a Pepsi. It's by far the best diet soda out there. It's made with splenda instead of aspartame...not sure how much of a difference that makes.
The only problem with Pepsi One is that it can be hard to find. Coke Zero is becoming pretty ubiquitous, but Pepsi One is still struggling to catch on. The original Pepsi One was terrible...which might be hurting it.
This may be a Canadian thing, but President's Choice Diet Green Apple is excellent! It's a really lurid colour, but the taste is surprisingly natural, like biting into a slightly tart apple. I also drink a lot of Crystal Light, but I use the singles and use 1/2 of one to 500 mls. of water(2 cups I think)
re: Leslieville
re: Leslieville
President's Choice Diet Grapefruit is really good, too.
What I can't understand is why you can't find the diet versions of many soft drinks - diet A&W or diet Barq's are both tasty root beers, but I hardly ever find them in stores. Ditto Diet Dr. Pepper. Diet Vernor's has to wait until I visit Detroit.
I had actually conditioned my taste buds to like Diet Coke better than regular Coke (and don't talk to me about Diet Pepsi; I'll drink warm water first!), and used to go through about ten cans a day. Now it's ice cold water with lemon juice and a bit of Splenda.
Diabetes sucks!
diet dr pepper is really good. I personally find the original a bit too sweet, and I have a major sweet tooth. the diet version is really pretty good, since the soda is a sweet anyway, you can't really notice the chemical sweetners. I really hate diet anything, but I'll choose a diet dr pepper any day over the original. also... Diet pepsi goes great with mac and cheese. :)
Congrats on losing your 40! Ok - i've read in the NYT that in studies in Italy aspartame is linked to brain cancer. It's also SO sweet it can make you crave sugar. I drink flavored waters, flavored setlzers and sometimes add juices.The VITAMIN water's honey dew is yummy, and Fizzy Lizzy is great (all natural.)
Pepsi One and Coke Zero are so far superior to Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi. They taste like the "real thing". But diet Dr. Pepper is the best of the carbonated drinks. And cherry Diet Dr. Pepper is super too.
But my favorite diet drink is Crystal Lite Peach tea. T make it a little stronger than the directions call for, and it hursts with real peach flavor. I drink it all day long when I am at home. You can now get individual packages to take with you - you just add them to iced water at a restaurant and you have a great drink. I frequently serve it to company who always remark that it is the best peach tea they have ever had!
Several fine choices mentioned above, but you might be interested in Talking Rain's Ice drinks. Sparkling fruit flavored drinks sweetened with Splenda. I can find the 24 pack half liter bottle cases (several flavors in a case) here at the Costco's in Los Angeles. Pretty good (I think). My mom likes A&W's diet cream soda, but it's hard to find. URL for the Talking Rain Ice drink. http://www.talkingrain.com/product-ic...
I have to agree about DaVinci syrups -- they're very good. I like vanilla or root beer with a dash of cream and club soda. Mmmmm.... Also, my favorite diet sodas are Stewarts Orange cream and root beer. I can't get them in the grocery store, though, so buy Diet 7-up regulary. It's not bad. I also love the Sprecher's diet root beer, but it's not really much better than the Stewart's and has more carbs -- about 5 I think. I eat low carb to control my Type 2 diabetes. I've been looking for a good diet ginger ale, so I'll try a case of the Hanson's. I can get Hanson's at our Kroger store, but only the fruit flavors, and I'm not fond of them.
re: sandypaws3
I've drunk the diet Sierra Mist and that's pretty good and I don't care for the diet Sprite (or the regular one for that matter). Boylan makes a good diet cream and so does A&W, but it's also hard to find. I liked the Hansen diet Ginger Ale, but the ginger flavor comes on so strong I'd choke the first sip I'd take. It's good, but for me the ginger flavor was pretty strong.
Have been drinking Diet Coke for a long time, so I can't stand the taste of regular coke, or coke zero (which tasted like regular coke). I don't like the anise flavor. Anyway I prefer the caffeine free Diet Coke. I also like lemon/lime with it, but strangely I don't like the Diet Coke that's already pre-flavored with Lime.
For non-cola we like Diet Barq root beer, and pretty much any of the Shasta diet sodas. They are actually one of the cheapest ($1 a 6 pack) and they use Splenda.
For non-soda I love the low calorie version of Arnold Palmer strawberry lemonade. Out of all the fruit flavored water Dasani has the least aftertaste. I've been weaning myself off soda so those two are really my preferred drinks.
I used to LOVE Coca-Cola Classic, but I too can't drink the REAL sugar because of my diabetes. I didn't think that I would ever be able to drink a DIET drink (they would make me gag), but now I have gotten used to them and find non-diet pop to be too sweet. BUT....I don't drink Coke products anymore because that was my favorite and I can't get used to the diet taste.
So now I drink diet Pepsi (I used to hate Pepsi)and the best tasting diet drinks I have found are diet Canada Dry Gingerale, any of the Winn Dixie Chek-Rite diet flavors (grape is my favorite), Diet Dr Pepper Berries and Cream, Diet Peach Snapple, Crystal Light Rasberry Lemonade or Peach Tea and Nestea diet green tea.
Walmart used to carry something called "Slice One" which was a diet Slice product made with Splenda. I haven't been able to find it for about 9 months. Someone at Walmart said that it was discontinued or was a seasonal product, it's too bad because it was the best grape and orange pop I have had.
Sometimes .....I breakdown and have a REAL Coca-Cola Classic....which reminds me of the GOOD OL'DAYS.
Where do you find Shasta? I used to like it, but can't find it anymore. I especially like that it's sweetened with Splenda. I also can't find Diet Canada Dry Gingerale. The only gingerale I can find in our area is Vernor's, and I didn't like that. You must be in the south, as you mention shopping at Winn Dixie. Around here, we have Kroger, Cub Foods, and Sam's Club.
OK- since we're talking about POP here... does anyone know if JollyGood is still in business. Its a midewestern brand - akin to Shasta. They always had goofy flavors, in large quantity, like Grape and Strawbwerry. It was sweet as solid sugar, and certainly not for diabetics...but it sure was fun!
On a totally different note, I've become obsessed with flavored seltzer lately. No sugar, no calories. My recent fave is Black Cherry seltzer by Schweppes. See also Cheerful Cherry and Refreshingly Raspberry by Canada Dry. (I think these are newer flavors on the market.) I also like Mandarin Orange and Lemon Lime, which both of those brands make.
Funny that Diet Dr. Pepper has cherry in it. I never placed it (so much for my great palate) but that would explain why it is my absolute favorite diet soda. (Second to Diet Cherry Coke, which I haven't seen in years.) I hated Dr. Pepper growing up, too. Fresca's fantastic, too, and underrated in my opinion--love that grapefruit flavor.
Someone posted they never see Dr Browns in restaurants. If you are ever in NY/Long Island, any Bens Deli has all the big flavors: diet cherry, diet root beer and diet cream soda. (They also have the celery but I'm not sure if they have the diet) It goes great with their huge matzo balls!
Have you tried Canfield's Diet Chocolate Fudge? Iced cold, it has a fairly good chocolate flavor that hits the spot when you have a chocolate craving. With a little milk, it almost passes as an egg cream.
re: docsharon
re: docsharon
re: potterybliss
i used to blend alba '77 fit and frosty drink mix packet with the diet canfield's and add crushed ice and vanilla extract, whiz in blender for a delicious and chocolate-y guilt-free chocolate shake.
the vanilla mix packet made the better shake.
i'll bet i have some of those alba '77 packets somewhere in the cupboard!!!
thanks for bringing that up, potterybliss!
I concur with the opinion that soft drinks sweetened with Splenda taste MUCH better than others. (Splenda can even substitute for sugar in some baking recipes - nothing else can do that.) I can also recommend the DaVinci syrups mixed with soda water. There are many, many flavours, and almost everyone is likely to enjoy at least some of them.
Don't feel that you are missing something if you can't get cyclamate. When the only choice was between cyclamate and saccharin, cyclamate tasted better. However, most diet drinks in Canada have used aspartame for many years. Whatever its flaws, aspartame tastes better than cyclamate or saccharin.
There's another sweetener that's widely used in Canada called acesulfame potassium ("Ace-K"). When it is combined with aspartame, the resulting product often seems to taste better.
Having said that, I see that the Canadian formula for Coke Blak seems to contain aspartame, Ace-K, Splenda, and sugars. The drink tasted disgusting to me (and I like Coke Classic and love coffee). What WERE they thinking?
I have seen Dr Browns Diet Black Cherry in Toronto, but found that it didn't have much taste compared to the regular version.
Incidentally, almost all of the private label soda in North America is made by a Canadian company called Cott, whose drinks often taste better than the name brands. The Presidents Choice Diet Grapefruit, Cranberry, Pomegranate, and Green Apple flavours, which I find very good, probably have equivalents under other private labels. (Note, though, that Presidents Choice Cola is actually Royal Crown.)
Diet Rite is the only diet soda with NO salt. The "Zeros" (Pepsi Zero, Coke Zero, Sprite Zero, etc ad nauseum) ring in around 35-38 or more mg of sodium each, which is about half of a days supply of sodium. Diet Rite does NOT have an after-taste, neither does it leave you thirsting for another drink like other sodas. The Dite Riet Pure Zero label says it all... 0 calories, 0 carbs, 0 caffiene, 0 sodium. Only problem that I find is getting a regular supplie of Diet Rite White Grape. The local SunDrop distributors (Yeah, NC) seem to have a problem supplying the White Grape flavor. I'm currently looking for a reasonably-priced distributor of DietRite sodas to deliver WhiteGrape directly to me. I've approached DietRite to let them know that their local distributer isn't distributing.
All of you people touting how wonderful Sprite Zero, Coke Zero, Pepsi Zero is... you guys REALLY need to look at your label, and realize that as you're losing all of your weight, you're headed for high blood pressure.
Diet Rite is the only soda that I'm aware of that is approved by the American Diabetic Association. Think about that as you drink your other diet sodas loaded with sodium.
Day's supply of sodium, according to US RDA, is 2,400 mg:
At any rate, I was overjoyed to find Pennsylvania Dutch Diet Birch Beer. Tastes like the real thing to me, although you have to have a taste for birch beer in the first place. This is around NYC and Philly. I am on an Atkins diet; both me and my spouse went from multiple "sugared" sodas per day to 1 or less diet sodas, cold turkey. Actually, we went to all water first, then brought diet sodas back in. They taste less foul if you haven't had the real thing lately.
I was practically weaned on diet soda. Fresca and Diet Dr. Pepper were my favorites, and back in the 70s White Rock made some good ones. And let's not forget Pepsi Light! When they switched to sweetening diet soda with aspartame, I gave them all up because I can't stand the taste of it.
I'm not much of a soda drinker now, but once in a while I'll go for a Diet Rite, a diet Hansens's grapefruit (the hardest of their diet sodas to find, oddly) or best of all, a Jones' diet root beer - almost as good as the real thing. The better supermarkets here in San Francisco carry them. They also come in some weird-looking other flavors in strange colors, but the root beer is the only one I'm interested in,
re: ryssiebee
The very best diet drink is Orangina light. Too bad it's not sold in the US. A pretty good substitute is Diet Polar Dry Orange. Contains a small amount of real orange juice which makes a huge difference in taste. If you are not in New England where it is distributed, you can get it from Hometown Favorites and Polar Beverages.Their diet Birch Beer is very good too. Also, I like to make vanilla egg creams with seltzer, davinci sugar free vanilla, and a little fat free or 2% milk. Great stuff. My all time favorite though is diet lemonade from chick-fill-a in gallons. They squeeze it themselves and it is a winner. Sometimes, I squeeze limes myself for diet limeade. As a long term diabetic, I can tell you that mixing sweet and low and equal is the best sweetener around. They cancel out each others aftertaste and come very close to tasting like real sugar. Don't ask me why, I have no idea. I did it by mistake one day with ice tea and have been doing the combo now for years. Can't stand either one by themselves but together, they rock. Diet Dr. Brown is ok, but not as good as diet Polar in my opinion.
Have you tried Coke Zero, Pepsi ONE, Diet 7up Diet DR. Pepper Diet A&W
i hate diet soda - i fear all the chemicals.
when I'm in the mood for something with bubbles, I've taken to making my own drinks with seltzer and either italian syrup (they have sugar free) or fresh juice/nectar. A little of the juice goes a long way and you can make whatever flavor you want. Whole foods has tons of them. A spash of POM and a splash of OJ in seltzer is very good.
As far as diet sodas go, my mainstream choice would be Diet Dr Pepper. It doesn't have an aftertaste as I find Diet Coke to have... and its not sugary-sweet like Diet Pepsi. I agree that the Dr Browns diet soda is awesome. I like the diet cream soda, but it has to be ice ice ice cold. Not sure if your state and/or store carries this brand, but Polar makes some pretty tasty diet sodas. Again, I like the diet cream soda, but they also make a diet chocolate fudge thats delightful. :)
i'm late to this topic, but i prefer diet drinks....regular sodas are too sickly sweet for me, and leave my teeth feeling like they're wearing sweaters.....i have been known to try a root beer or the like in a place that microbrews the stuff.
ennyhow....diet dr pepper only came to my area of canada within the past couple of years and SOOOOOOOOOOO glad to see it !!! i am a fan of most varieties of diet rootbeer, however i tend to like the fountain varieties more than cans. diet 7-up is something i tell myself is an acceptable water substitute and on the topic of water, am happy to see the fizzie varieties of aquafina and such. I was a huge fan of the diet coke with lime when it came out and drank it for a loonnnnnggg time. PC has a few interesting varieties and i recently had a diet blackcurrant. We get pineapple crush and birch beer in my area too, but no diet varieties :(
i am also a fervent guzzler of all energy drinks, in moderation, particularly the sugar free variety. Red Bull, Rockstar, Full Throttle tab. etc...love em all.
Interesting thread. For me it is Vernor's Diet Ginger Ale. I think when you've drunk diet sodas a very long time,as I have, you grow to prefer the diet.. And I suspect, you learn to like a specific sweetener best as well. Vernor's uses aspartame. If I decide to have a diet in a restaurant, I often ask for a lemon or lime in the (usual) diet colas they have available. We are drinking less soda, in general, though.
love drinking diet aw root beer and stewarts diet root beer. i also found a polar bear diet cream soda that is really good. but when i go out i can usually only find diet mountain dew or diet pepsi. other diet drinks i like are diet sunkist and fresca peach. not a coke or dr. pepper fan at all.
DIET COKE PLUS I think is even better than diet coke because of the added vitamins. I also enjoy an ice cold Diet Sunkist Orange, & Diet A&W Root Beer.
Hello fellow Carolinian. I was born and raised in NC. I too LOVE the Cheerwine, and Sundrop (and even the RC cola) but that stuff is so bad for you, and the diet renditions aren't pleasant.
I moved to CO about 2 years ago, and started drinking Hansen's soda. You can get them on the east coast. My current fave is the Diet Black Cherry Soda. The orange is good too.

Steve Hamilton's novels starring ex-cop and sometime-P.I. Alex McKnight have won multiple awards and appeared on bestseller lists nationwide. And when you start reading Winter of the Wolf Moon, you will instantly understand why. . .When a young woman from the Ojibwa tribe asks McKnight for shelter from her violent boyfriend, McKnight agrees. But after letting her stay in one of his cabins, he finds her gone the next morning. His search for her brings on a host of suspects, bruising encounters, and a thickening web of crime, all obscured by the relentless whiplash of brutal snowstorms. From the secret world of the Ojibwa reservation to the Canadian border and deep into the silent woods, someone is out to kill—and McKnight is heading right into the line of fire.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — The following shares were among the biggest movers in Thursday's session on Wall Street:
LinkedIn Corp. /quotes/zigman/5131883/delayed/quotes/nls/lnkd LNKD +9.08% shares closed up 5.9% following speculation it would be the best suitor to acquire Monster Worldwide Inc. /quotes/zigman/323748/delayed/quotes/nls/mww MWW -1.85% , which recently hired advisers for a strategic review. Monster shares ended 3.4% higher.
Medivation Inc. /quotes/zigman/97304/delayed/quotes/nls/mdvn MDVN +1.75% shares rallied about 14% following a tepid recovery on Wednesday. The stock had shed about 5% in the three previous sessions.
Shares of home builders Hovnanian Enterprises Inc. /quotes/zigman/229621/delayed/quotes/nls/hov HOV -3.50% and Beazer Homes USA Inc. /quotes/zigman/12231718/delayed/quotes/nls/bzh BZH +4.89% extended gains after the Federal Housing Administration said it won't need a bailout. Read more on FHA.

Dendreon Corp. /quotes/zigman/83175/delayed/quotes/nls/dndn DNDN -1.93% shares slumped 7% after a short-lived rebound on Wednesday. The company's stock has been under pressure since it forecast weaker-than-projected sales of Provenge, its therapy for prostate cancer, in late February.
Williams-Sonoma Inc. /quotes/zigman/246567/delayed/quotes/nls/wsm WSM -0.58% shares fell 5.9% after the home furnishings retailer forecast a 2012 profit range that fell short of Wall Street estimates. More on Williams-Sonoma.

Ganging up on Gaga! One day after Sharon Osbourne came to daughter Kelly's defense by way of a scathing response to criticism from pop star Lady Gaga, Kelly's co-host Joan Rivers has joined the fight.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the 79-year-old comedienne addresses the "Born This Way" singer's recent claims that "Fashion Police" -- the E! style series on which Rivers, Kelly, Giuliana Rancic, and George Kotsiopoulos comment on the do's and don'ts of celebrity fashion -- is mean-spirited. According to Gaga, the show is just an excuse to bully other stars.
PHOTOS: Famous celebrity feuds
"'Fashion Police' is a comedy show; anyone that comes out of an egg should figure that out," Rivers tells ET, alluding to Gaga's Grammys appearance in 2011, when the singer was carried onto the red carpet in a giant egg-shaped vessel. She goes on to say that the pop star should "lighten up" and focus on using her celebrity to draw attention to more important issues.
Gaga's comments were part of an open letter she posted to Kelly Osbourne on Thursday, Jan. 10, in response to something the "Fashion Police" standout, 28, said about the singer's fans being "the worst" when it came to bullying. ("They've said I should kill myself, that they hope I get raped," the reality star told Fabulous magazine.)
"I have empathy for you Kelly, but I feel it culturally important to note that you have chosen a less compassionate path," Mother Monster wrote in her letter. "Your work on E! with the 'Fashion Police' is rooted in criticism, judgment, and rating people's beauty against one another. 'Appearance' is the most used reason for bullying in the world. Your show breeds negativity, and over the years has even become comedic in nature. It glorifies you and Joan Rivers pointing in the camera, laughing, and making jokes about artists and celebrities as if we are zoo animals."
PHOTOS: Kelly's hair evolution
Sharon Osbourne fought back on her daughter's behalf a short time later, calling Gaga a "bully" and a "hypocrite" for posting the letter under the guise of seeking "a kinder and braver world."
"You know it would have been much more dignified of you to do this privately," Osbourne said in a note on her Facebook page. "I am calling you a bully because you have 32 million followers hanging on your every word and you are criticizing Kelly in your open letter. Are you so desperate that you needed to make this public?"

The Vampire Diaries season 3 may have ended with Elena transitioning, but it also ended with Elena making her choice—and choosing Stefan over Damon. So what could that mean for Damon in season 4?
Vampire Diaries Season 4 Damon
Ian Somerhalder talked to Zap2it about the end of season 3 and what he hopes it means for his character in the fourth season. He called her choice "a good challenge." The love triangle could never officially be over—especially now that she's transitioning and that means there's going to be a lot more time to explore those relationships. While it was getting a bit tiring to watch it play out over the years, Elena becoming a vampire adds a whole new element to it, which could be refreshing for the series.
Somerhalder also talked about what he's hoping to see in The Vampire Diaries season 4 for Damon: "Here's the good thing: he's not pining for her, he's not pining for Katherine, so maybe we'll get some of that Season 1 Damon back." Now that would be something fun to see, especially with Elena adjusting to being a vampire, not even in terms of the love triangle. Elena's going to need some guidance as she transitions, and it seems like she could have some very different viewpoints from all the vampires she knows. How will that influence how she ends up handling being a vampire?
Seeing Damon go back to being the season 1 Damon could mean some fun storylines just for him alone, not even taking into consideration Elena. It could also mean some more good Salvatore brothers' stuff. The scenes with Stefan and Damon are always so good, and that's likely to continue in season 4, whether they're arguing or agreeing, or if Damon's back to being his season 1 self or not.
What are you hoping to see from Damon in The Vampire Diaries season 4?

Comments about Gem Sound 2 Channel VHF Wireless System w/2 Headset/ 2 Lapel Mics:
ALL FOUR OF THE GEM SYSTEMS LISTED HERE ON MusiciansFriend are the SAME -- with different signal channels
• As a professional broadcaster involved in television and radio, and as a public address announcer, DJ and MC, I highly recommend the GEM Two Channel VHF Wireless System w/2 Headset/ 2 Lapel Microphones system
• Using engineering, design, and manufacturing advances pioneered by GEM, the integrity built into the GEM Two Channel VHF Wireless System w/2 Headset/ 2 Lapel Mics system truly defines the quality and price value point for this type of equipment.
• It's amazing how much microphone power, presence, and performance GEM provides for the money.
The system worked great right out of the box. At a wedding rehearsal on a Friday night, I tested it using DURACELL PROCELL 9V BATTERIES -- the new ones that are orange with a black stripe.
• The pastor wanted to be wired up with the lapel-clip lavalier mic (not much different from the headset mics in the box) but the same concepts apply) it worked perfectly, flawlessly, delivering crystal clear audio and impressive ambiance.
• WHEREAS; there was some signal cut out due to having the bride and five bridesmaids along with the ring bearer and flower girl standing directly in line between the receiver and the pastor.
• THEREFORE; be it resolved that I made some adjustments by raising the receiver to about eight feet (secured with double-sticky-sided Velcro tape to the top of one of my jumbo 15" DJ speakers).
• All went well after that -- this is why a rehearsal or a dry-run is a good idea; it helps to work out the bugs and glitches.
• The next day for the wedding, again I mounted the GEM two-channel receiver on top of one of the 15" speakers and ran a 30' cable with 1/4" terminals from there to the amplifier. It worked great again for the entire wedding service with the pastor hooked up with one of the two included lavalier microphones.
• The GEM System amazed those in attendance -- all of the families, guests, catering staff and others at the event were impressed with the wireless microphones, which worked flawlessly all day and into the night.
• Take heed to what I mean in the title, you have to know what you're doing. That means devise, test, and use a few main Best Practices; implement these as a minimum standard into your methodologies:
1) Use the DuraCell Pro Cell 9 volt batteries, the orange ones with the black stripe, mentioned above.
2) Securely mount the GEM two-channel receiver about eight-feet high in order to help eliminate signal interference and to keep a clear line-of-sight between the mic(s) and the receiver.
3) To aide in the elimination of squealing, irritating feedback, place the speakers in front of the microphones. CAUTION those using the microphones that loud feedback will occur if they dare to step in line with or in front of the speakers.
4) TEST the equipment and the system by conducting a rehearsal or a dry-run; work out the bugs and glitches ahead of the event, with enough time to try it and to get everything working right so that YOU are the HERO once again.
• Again; as a professional broadcaster involved in television and radio, and as a public address announcer, DJ and MC, I highly recommend the GEM Two Channel VHF Wireless System w/2 Headset/ 2 Lapel Microphones system -- click through and order it right now here on MusiciansFriend.com -- and you'll be amazed.

Comments about Gem Sound 2 Channel VHF Wireless System w/2 Headset/ 2 Lapel Mics:

Nothing compromises our domestic defense against Islamic terrorism more than our failure to control who enters the country. The alien-smuggling trade is the "sea in which terrorists swim," explains David Cohen, the NYPD's Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence and an ex-CIA expert on al Qaeda.

Yingli solidifies dominance in global solar module market
Yingli shipped 1,450 MW worth of solar modules in the first half of 2013, which is up 7% from the same period in 2012 as the company remains the driving force in the PV module business.
Yingli in the first half of 2013 rode the wave of solar growth in its home market in China to retain the dominant position in the global business for photovoltaic (PV) modules.
The company shipped 1,450 MW worth of solar modules to the merchant market in the first two quarters of this year, giving Yingli an 8.1% share of the market, according to a new report entitled "IHS Solar PV Integrated Market Tracker – Q3 2013" from IHS Inc. Yingli's share was up from 7.3% during the first six months of 2012.
In all, company shipments in the first half of 2013 surged by 29.9% compared 1,110 MW during the same period in 2012.
"Yingli in the first half of 2013 benefited from strong growth in demand in China," said Jessica Jin, solar analyst at IHS. "China already accounts for almost one-third of the company's business, and its importance will increase further in the second half and beyond."
Yingli's total revenue was 39% higher than that of No. 2 module supplier Trina Solar. This represents an increase from Yingli's lead in the first half of 2012 of 27% over then No. 2 player First Solar.
The attached table presents the Top 10 PV module suppliers for the first half of 2013, ranked by merchant shipments. Processing services and original equipment manufacturer shipments are not included.
Japan a rising sun in the solar market
The PV module supplier ranking reflects the shift of global solar demand to Asia. China and Japan are the two fastest-growing markets for PV modules this year, and companies that have a strong presence in those countries increased their sales by the largest margins in the first half.
No. 4-ranked Sharp of Japan saw its market share go up to 4.5%, up from 2.7% in the first half of 2012. Kyocera, the second-largest Japanese module supplier, managed to increase its share to 3.6%, up from 2.1% during the first six months of last year.
Japan's third-biggest player, Solar Frontier, also is on the rise. The company climbed to 11th place, up from 14th place during the same period in 2012, propelled by a 68% surge in revenue.
China's PV tigers
In addition to Yingli, China's Jinko Solar is growing fast. The company achieved a market share of 3.7% in the first half of 2013, up from 1.9% a year ago. Jinko benefited from its downstream focus with a strong project pipeline and remarkably low production costs.
The fastest-growing module supplier of the first half of the year was Renesola, another leading Chinese company. Compared to the first half of last year, the company's merchant shipments more than tripled in the first six months of 2013.
"Renesola is sold out for 2013 and is already preselling its 2014 production," Jin noted.
A mixed bag for Western suppliers
While U.S.-based First Solar's installation business is thriving, its module sales are suffering. Third-ranked First Solar struggled with a weak second quarter, causing its first-half market share to decline to 5.0%, down from 5.7% one year earlier.
SunPower, the other leading U.S. supplier, grew slightly slower than the industry average. The ninth-ranked company's merchant shipments increased by 14% in the first half of 2013—compared to 17% for the overall module business.
REC, the only Top 10 module supplier of 2012 headquartered in Europe, kept merchant shipments stable at about 410 MW in the first half of the year. Despite slipping to No. 13, down from No. 9 in 2012, the company remains by far the leading European module supplier.
PV market recharges in 2013
Also in the second quarter, the solar polysilicon-to-module supply chain benefited from a boost in demand.
Global solar installations rose to 8.5 GW, up 20 percent from 7.1 GW in the first quarter. As a result, industry-wide factory utilization, production, shipments and revenue increased substantially compared to the rather sluggish first quarter.
"Propelled by growing shipments, global module revenues rose to $7.2 billion in the second quarter, up from $6.2 billion in the first quarter, said Stefan de Haan, principal analyst for solar at IHS. "This is the highest revenue since the fourth quarter of 2011 and even exceeded the IHS prediction of $7.0 billion. As we had anticipated at the end of last year, the second quarter of 2013 marked the turnaround of global module markets."
Thanks to robust end markets and slightly increasing prices, margins improved remarkably in the second quarter. Several leading module producers reported double-digit gross margins. Jinko even achieved a net profit for the first time since the third quarter of 2011.
IHS is reiterating its forecast that other module manufacturers also will return to profitability during the course of 2013.
The high production, shipment, and revenue levels reached in the second quarter can be maintained for the rest of 2013, but continued strong expansion appears unlikely. Growth will be flat in the third quarter, after which global PV markets will see a moderate upward movement in the fourth quarter.

In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama enters the latest budget showdown with Congress with his highest job- approval rating in three years and public support for his economic message, while his Republican opponents' popularity stands at a record low.
Fifty-five percent of Americans approve of Obama's performance in office, his strongest level of support since September 2009, according to a Bloomberg National poll conducted Feb. 15-18. Only 35 percent of the country has a favorable view of the Republican Party, the lowest rating in a survey that began in September 2009. The party's brand slipped six percentage points in the last six months, the poll shows.
Americans by 49 percent to 44 percent believe Obama's proposals for government spending on infrastructure, education and alternative energy are more likely to create jobs than Republican calls to cut spending and taxes to build business confidence and spur employment.
"The Republicans are not offering any new solutions," said poll respondent Cynthia Synos, 62, a political independent who lives in the St. Louis suburb of Greendale, Mo. "Their answer is always tax cuts and incentives for business. I've never heard them say anything innovative to spark the economy that would help the other 85, 90 percent of people that have to deal with the economy as it is."
The findings come as Congress and the White House are trying to reach an agreement to stop $1.2 trillion in automatic cuts in federal spending during the next nine years beginning March 1. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the measures would reduce economic growth by 0.6 percent this year, enough to eliminate 750,000 jobs.
Obama's positive standing with the public provides him with political leverage as Americans assess blame for any furloughs, disruption of government services or damage to the economy if the spending cuts aren't averted. The repercussions also could help shape the battleground for the 2014 midterm congressional elections.

Summer Sanders' Prenatal Workout Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Summer Sanders' Prenatal Workout is a workout designed especially for pregnant women, and features fitness professional Summer Sanders doing the workout during the final trimester of her own pregnancy. If you are looking for a way to stay in shape while you are pregnant or to start shedding the pregnancy pounds soon after delivery, this DVD may be the right choice for you, but we will take a closer look at it to help you decide whether or not to purchase this DVD for your own library.
List of Ingredients
Not applicable.
Product Features
Summer Sanders' Prenatal Workout is a completely safe workout routine to do at any stage of your pregnancy. It features three different workouts, designed to be one for each of the trimesters in your pregnancy. Sanders' is featured in the video during the 7th month of her pregnancy to help motivate you to continue with the routine, and to prove that you will be able to keep doing it. Some of the moves may be more challenging than others, but you do not need to worry about hurting your baby. Some reviewers say there is not enough of a lower body workout, but many are very satisfied with the workout overall saying that it not only left them feeling sore the next morning, but also helped them fit into their pre-pregnancy clothes within just a few months after giving birth. One reviewer stated she was even able to workout the morning she gave birth. The bands used in the DVD are necessary for you to use also, if you want to get the same intensity and result from the workout. There is a big difference in how much the workout does if you are not using the bands.
- Summer Sanders' Prenatal Workout features a workout for each trimester.
- This DVD is available online and at various retailers nationwide.
- Summer Sanders' Prenatal Workout requires people to purchase additional equipment to effectively use the workout.
- This product is targeted at a limited audience of pregnant women.
- Some say there is not a sufficient lower body workout.
- This does not address nutrition, and is not designed to promote weight loss.
Summer Sanders' Prenatal Workout looks to be an ideal solution for women who are pregnant and have limited exercise ability. All the workouts are safe, and you can use a combination of the three, or one for each trimester. The only thing we do not like is the limited audience, and how it does not address nutrition to help keep pregnancy weight gain in line with the healthy guidelines of around 35 pounds for a single child.

Signalment and clinical signs
The average age of onset for diabetes mellitus in dogs is 7 to 9 years. Samoyeds, Australian terriers, miniature schnauzers,
miniature and toy poodles, and pugs are at an increased risk for diabetes mellitus, whereas German shepherds, golden retrievers,
and American Staffordshire terriers are at decreased risk for the disease.1
The diagnosis of diabetes mellitus is based on history, clinical signs, physical examination findings, and persistent hyperglycemia
and glucosuria. However, because diabetic dogs are usually middle age to older animals with concurrent disorders, further
diagnostics are warranted, including a complete blood count (CBC), serum biochemistry profile, complete urinalysis, and urine
culture. Abdominal ultrasound and thoracic radiographs may also be warranted. Test results common in diabetic dogs include
a normal CBC, and a serum biochemistry profile revealing increased alanine transaminase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline
phosphatase activities; lipemia; and hypercholesterolemia. The urine specific gravity may be variable, although most diabetic
dogs have hypersthenuria. Glucosuria is always present in diabetic patients, and proteinuria, bacteriuria, or ketonuria may
also be present. Perform a urine culture and sensitivity testing even if white blood cells are not detected in the urine sediment.
Dogs with diabetes mellitus are often immunocompromised; therefore, they may have a urinary tract infection with few or no
white blood cells in the urine sediment.
Diet and exercise
Treat and monitor stable diabetic patients as outpatients. You should place these patients on an appropriate diabetic diet
with a high concentration of insoluble fiber and complex carbohydrates, yet limited in calories and fat. You can change from
the patient's normal diet to the new diet immediately; however, if the patient is hesitant to eat the new diet (a rare problem
in polyphagic diabetic dogs), mix the new diet into the old diet and gradually replace the old diet over the course of a week.
The diet should contain a total daily caloric intake based on the desired body weight and should be divided into two meals
offered twice a day at 12-hour intervals and just before insulin administration. Examples of such diets are Purina Veterinary
Diets DCO (Nestlé Purina) or Prescription Diet w/d Canine (Hill's Pet Nutrition).
You can feed diabetic dogs the new diet regardless of weight or body condition score. Many diabetic dogs lose weight because
of poor glycemic control. The new diet should improve glycemic control and ultimately result in weight gain. The diet also
facilitates weight loss in diabetic and nondiabetic overweight dogs. Exercise may also promote weight loss and improve glycemic
control independently of the effect on body condition, as it does in people.3
It is extremely important for clients to understand that vigorous or episodic exercise can result in adverse hypoglycemia.
Therefore, you should recommend moderate and routine exercise and ask clients to alert you of any changes in the extent of
exercise, which should be made gradually.

A letter from Glenn D. Steele Jr., MD, PhD
President and CEO Geisinger Health System
Thank you for your interest in ProvenCare™ .. At Geisinger, we're very proud of this innovative program. It ensures that every patient who receives procedures included in our ProvenCare portfolio —at any Geisinger or participating non-Geisinger hospital—receives the most consistent, comprehensive and effective care possible. By that, we don't mean just "good care," but care that exceeds national standards.
The media has labeled our program "surgery with a warranty." While no surgical procedure comes with a guarantee, the ProvenCare program is about more than continually providing the highest level of service. It's also about standing firmly behind the care we offer with not just words, but a strong commitment. It's about being accountable to our patients and their families.
In fact, I am such a firm believer in ProvenCare that I have pledged Geisinger's name and financial well-being to each patient. Geisinger is one of the first in the country to offer such a program. And, I can tell you that ProvenCare is changing the way healthcare is delivered.
ProvenCare has exceeded our expectations and I am confident it will exceed yours.
