Guest guest Posted March 27, 2000 Report Share Posted March 27, 2000 I tend to believe the letter from the doctor and believe the company's who sell these products are paying some doctors to discredit these claims. My reason is a personal one; I have had very adverse reaction (defiantly tested myself and linked to the products containing artificial sweeteners especially Aspartame) to aspartame and have very low tolerance for it; I believe I HAVE ENOUGH OVER THE YEARS THAT IT HAS BUILT UP IN MY SYSTEM TO THE POINT IT CAN DO REAL DAMAGE NOW EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT. I'd rather be safe than sorry, and have not touched a Diet Coke in about two years since my first bout in ER and they couldn't find anything wrong with me; but I literally felt like I was coming off a drug or something. . convulsions, stomach and abdomen pain and severe swelling like I was 6 months PG. This all came on suddenly and after having Diet Coke ; have had other times its happened since then, and traced it back to eating pancake syrup containing these products. (unknowingly) I read all labels now and am very careful to keep from ingesting anything with these products which is hard for its in a lot of things you wouldn't suspect. Everyone must make their own choices and decisions, but at least be cautious and forewarned when you might be able to avoid trouble!
