Re: Aspartame Poisoning/Debra B And Debi

[Guest guest]

You all are probably right. I am going to look at the website. I have heard

many many people say that aspartame is bad for us especially in the amounts that

are put in sodas. And if you drink diet sodas like I use to drink regular

sodas...... it would be way too much.

Thanks for the post.

This is interesting, but see what Snopes has to say about this letter,

before you take it to heart and quit your aspartame. Here's the

I have a disabled daughter who sees neurologists on a regular basis.

Years ago, when aspartame was just becoming popular her neurologist

told me to never, ever give her aspartame and that I should not use

it myself. He said that it acts on some " core " in the brain. This was

a world-reknowned neurologist known for his research. If you read the

warnings on cereal boxes that have aspartame in them, you will see

that it warns people to not eat it if they have seizure disorders.

This is because it amplifies seizures, because it acts on the brain,

somehow. So, while it has been deemed safe by the FDA, it makes sense

to me that it can affect some people negatively. It also turns toxic

if it gets hot, that is why you are not supposed to bake with it.

How much diet soda do you think is sitting in a hot truck somewhere

while it is being delivered?

In spite of my the neurologist's warning, I continued to drink diet

soda with the aspartame in it. I knew too much of it caused me to get

a headache but thought nothing of it. But when I was diagnosed with

fibro, and was REALLY hurting one day, I decided to try stopping the

diet soda. It made an amazing difference! It was extremely difficult

for me to quit drinking the diet soda, I was drinking about 4 per day

and hated water. But when I would lapse I would hurt, and so the pain

disciplined me. I am so much better without it!

I think that each of us probably have different food sensitivities

that can cause us pain. Nutra-sweet is my main one, but I suspect

yellow food coloring and anything with mold are 2 more. I just don't

want to give up my cheese and mushrooms! But I REALLY hurt after

eating in a Mexican restaurant, especially if I order Queso, which I

love!

Just my thoughts,

I think it depends on where you buy them - I just looked at the can I

was drinking and it does have aspartame in it; however, I have tried

the one with splenda (it is marked on the can and/or bottle) and

didn't like it as much.

I do my best to limit my diet drinks to 1 maybe 2 a day. The rest of

the day is spent drinking water water water! I don't need additives

to the water because I've always enjoyed drinking it, but understand

how some who never got into that habit have to add something. I

believe that dehydration contributes to our pain levels, that's for

sure!

Debi, I just ran (not really) to look at my ever present can of diet Coke and it

still has the aspartame. That is good news though, I'll have to check this out.

I was going through withdrawal just thinking about not drinking it. I do have to

cut down anyway, and work in more water! Thanks for the info.

Love,

/Mi

Not Diet Coke, but the Coke Zero is the one made with Splenda. I still prefer

Diet Coke.

But I limit myself to one a day.

OK...once again, I guess that it is CA. that has changed the formula,

because the Diet Coke here now contains Splenda, not Aspartame.

In Dallas, Texas we have Diet Coke with Splenda (specially marked

cans). The Coke Zero here has aspartame. If you follow Janet Star

Hull's website, she has data that shows Splenda is not safe either.

If I even drink one Diet soda with aspartame it brings on the pain so

I stay completely away from all artificial sweeteners. I've noticed

that even regular sodas cause problems and found that the EU has

produced clinical evidence that the sodium benzoate in sodas damages

the RNA/DNA in our cells the same as alcohol does and that many

manufacturers there are removing it from their drinks while more

testing is being done.

Well, they shouldn't confuse us all by doing it different in various parts of

the country.

Sorry. So you can't get it with aspartame at all anymore? Have you ever heard

of Tab which was made by Coke? I still see that every once in a while in the

stores.

I don't drink any drinks that bubble! I wished I could, cause I was a Dr. Pepper

freak up until 2006. I had the lapband and I am not suppose to drink them unless

they are flat....that just spoils all the fun in drinking them so I just don't

do it!

I checked our diet coke and coke zero here in central Illinois and both have

aspertame in them. I can't find any soda here with splenda in it.

I know in East Texas you can't find many either. I don't understand why they

have it in some areas and not others.
