Just wanted to add that 5 cups per day is A LOT of caffeine and it is most likely taking the place of water. The Equal is not the best thing in the world for you. It is basically chemicals.
I recommend drinking less coffee, learning to love black coffee, or at the very least drink a glass of water with each cup of joe. Caffeine robs the bones of calcium and is very acidic (especially at 5 cups per day).
Having 1-2 (8) ounce mugs/day is fine. 5 is a bit much in my opinion

i agree, try weening yourself off so much coffee. its fine in moderation..but 5 cups a day isn't moderation.
try drinking a cup, then have 8oz of water, then a second cup...again followed by water.
I suspect half the reason you drink so much is the habit of sipping on something.
I'm also not a fan of Equal. I use regular sugar in my coffee...4 cubes in fact (its a tall mug), and low fat half/half. a tablespoon of fatty cream isn't gonna wreck your diet...and I'm inclined to feel that natural products in moderation (like sugar, olive oil, etc) are better than going overboard with man-made alternatives (like Equal, trans-fats, high fructose corn syrup...to name a few)

How about switching a couple of your cups of coffee for green tea? It has caffeine, but not as much, and it has antiozidants.
For a sweetener, have you ever tried Stevia? It's an all natural, plant based sweetener. Tastes good in coffee.
