I know your heart is in the right place man but you are just reading news headlines and accepting them and any buzz worthy study as fact and that is extremely irresponsible... If any of this were true people with type one diabetes (the ones who were originally targeted as a market for this specific product) would be dying and it would have been pulled off the shelf IMMEDIATELY. If you still doubt me? get a blood sugar tester. take a fasted reading (meaning as soon as you wake up before breakfast) for a few days, then do the same and drink a can of diet or coke zero before the test. Your blood sugar will not rise, I assure you..
Aspartame is relatively harmless. This does not mean it is healthy to consume a tonne of it, it probably isn't--this doesn't equate to being harmful though. Any associations with weight gain and diet sodas are because morons are sucking down sandwiches and eating pasta and rice 3 times a week with 'low fat' sauces, not because of aspartame..

Aspartame is NOT harmless at all - it's very dangerous, especially if you have an allergy with it - it took them a very very long time to figure out why I was so sick and was gaining weight and I had not had anything but diet drinks and used this in my coffee, tea and anything else I was drinking - it turned out that I was having an allergic reaction to aspartame and it was making me sick in ways that Drs didn't even know what the hell to do.
I stopped eating or drinking anything with aspartame in it and the headaches went away and I started losing the weight... so while it MAY not be dangerous to some, it is extremely dangerous to those of us that are allergic to whatever they put on that nasty product.... this is the experience SongRider (my husband) has with it - :thumbsup
They make a Diet Coke with Splenda in it, IF, and this is a huge IF, I even go near a diet drink, it has to have splenda or I can't touch it.
I just don't buy cokes of any kind anymore - diet or otherwise. :thumbsup |
