Gretchen Posted June 20, 2007 Report Posted June 20, 2007 I know I may be striking a nerve when I say this, but don't drink diet soda. It contains aspartame, which recently killed a family friend. To quote http://www.blacktable.com/gillin040317.htm "In the years since, a number of people have begun to attack NutraSweet, claiming that aspartame can be broken down into three amino acid components, aspartate, phenylalanine, and methanol. All three can be broken down into smaller entities, called metabolites, which can be toxic. For example, methanol, or wood alcohol, can spontaneously become formaldehyde, while phenylalanine can decompose into diketopiperazine, which is a carcinogen... In February 1994, the Department of Heath released a list of 92 symptoms that occurred when people had an adverse reaction to NutraSweet, one of which was death." Please, don't drink diet soda. Spread the word about aspartame.Sorry if what I said confuses you, but this is a really big issue. Quote

Dr T Posted June 20, 2007 Report Posted June 20, 2007 Don't forget- "Research causes cancer in laboratory animals." It's a fact. Quote
StosRob Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 Every single diet soda I have tried taste funny, so I just gave up. Quote

He's in his 40's, but he's also a big country hick - would you all clash? :) I still can't believe diet Coke is trying this vitamin & mineral thing. I wonder how healthy it really is? Quote

OH>he does like diet soda.Oh man!!! don't even get me started about fishing!!!! He's 13, never had a man take him fishing. He begged his father to take him for three years with constant brocken promises...Finnally, I took him...(I hate to fish!) He made me a father's day card that year..."Happy father's day, mom...Thanks for taking me fishing!) I still have it...it made me cry... BTW...my husband was a "Little old man...and only drove me crazy on sundays!!!) Quote
