when I drink drink certain diet drinks such as Sprite Zero and fair life protein shakes (that both contain Ace-k) I have a horrible bittersweet aftertaste in my mouth that lasts anywhere from 1-4 hours or until I eat something salty. Is this just a side effect of the sweetener? I only notice I get this taste when I consume something that contains that not real sugar. Thanks in advance:)
