Guest guest Posted February 10, 1999 Report Share Posted February 10, 1999 To Whom it May Concern: Please take me off the mailing list for CJD-Voice. I am receiving these bits of conversation on my work PC, although some are interesting I do not have the time to read or interject. Thank You. Jackie Laplante ext.309 Re: aspartame Beverly - My Mom has always had trouble with aspertame. It makes small sores on her tongue and mouth. She watches her weight, but must stay away from packaged " diet " foods because they always contain it. In the last five years, she has read carefully every packaged food as manufacturers seem to like it better than sugar and put it in all kinds of " normal " foods. I still occasionally drink a diet pop, but am trying to ween myself off it completely. I also drink no sweeteners in my coffee or tea, just plain old sugar if I get the craving.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 1999 Report Share Posted February 10, 1999 That's caffeine addiction. Caffiene addiction can cause headaches like you wouldn't believe. Don't give up caffeine cold turkey. > Re: aspartame > > > From: Aut4umn@... > > If I don't drink 2 diet cokes a day, I get migraines.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 1999 Report Share Posted February 11, 1999 Hi All, Reading all your comments re: this artificial stuff, I wanted to add my two cents worth. I used to drink diet Pepsi, 1 or 2 a day and eat all the low calorie foods with aspartame in them. About eight years ago I read an article about how aspartame contributed to short term memory loss, confusion etc. I have a tendency to be a little/lot disorganized at times, and felt I was a bit out of control in that area. I stopped ingesting all foods with aspartame, including gum and breath mints. I absolutely noticed a difference in my abilities to concentrate, my short-term memory improved, and my confusion under stress got better also. I do not to this day knowingly take in any aspartame. With my mom's reaction of blisters in her mouth and on her lips and my mind's reactions, it is definitely not something I would recommend for anyone. It is difficult reading all the information shared on CJD Voice and in other publications, then to eat anything not from our own gardens or farms. A person could become paranoid to eat anything else not knowing it's origin. I, for one, am attempting to be more discriminating in my selections at the supermarket and to read labels. I also spend more time reading articles published re: food contaminants. The death of my father and the possibilities of it being transferred through foodstuffs has made me even more aware and discerning in my choices of foods. The other day I was offered some homemade elk jerky, I took it but didn't eat it. I used to love elk meat, and grew up eating it . So sad!!! Hope I haven't rambled on too much. Keep on keeping on!! I am learning a lot. Lynda Beuchat-Reier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
