Well I can give you feedback on the aspartame. There is a lot of people in the medical community, who feel aspertame is harmful to you. Putting that aside (as there are many in the medical community who feel Low-Carb is bad for you), Atkins had found that Aspertame can stop wait loss. He had several patents that followed his diet to the "T", but were not loosing weight. When he removed aspertame, the weight loss started. So this is why you should avoid it. As for me I do my best, but have the occassional pop, when I am out.
As for Splenda drinks, there is not much available in BC. You can go to "Low Carb Solutions" in Delta, and they carry Diet Rite Cola, and also have Crystal Lite and Talking Rain. But it is all rather expensive. If you have a car, it is better to go to Bellingham, Costco in particular.
Also Costco in BC, has started carring talking rain again. They have several different brands, the one available in BC is carbonated, and called diet ICE (2g's carbs a bottle), I perfer the Botenical drink, which is more like a juice (similar to crystle lite)and is carb free.
Sorry can't comment on the DaVinci's as I have no idea what you are suppose to do with it.
