OT- Diet Coke- was: Where to get Dry Wine???

[Guest guest]

<<(just how bad IS diet coke by the way?)...>>

Whoa! SIX glasses per day?? As Carol pointed out, WAY more than Elaine

recommeded. I suspect you're hooked on the caffeine, as well as just the habit

of it, eh?

Beyond SCD, I would discourage ANYbody from drinking soda period... but

especially not diet soda containing Nutrasweet (aspartame)! Aspartame, like MSG,

is what's known as an " excitotoxin " .... really bad for the brain.

Do a quickie Google.com search on " dangers of Nutrasweet " or " excitotoxins " and

you'll get a few hours worth of reading that will raise your eyebrows!

I know there are differing opinions on the subject, but I have a friend who used

to be hooked on diet Pepsi, until she had two major seizures about ten years ago

(having never had seizures prior to that). Her doctor told her to avoid

Nutrasweet like the plague from then on. She did... and has never had another

seizure.
