ANYONE HEARD OF THIS DRUG?

ASPERTAME found in (DIET COKE)

DIET COKE AND ASPARTAME

The more I read, the more I am pissed the FDA allows it. They are poisoning us and the Gov't don't even care to warn us on the labels.

THE SODA COMPANIES GOT BIG POCKETS THEY MUST BE PAYING OFF THE FDA. THE MORE I READ ABOUT ASPERTAME THE MORE IM LIKE WTF.

Google it and check out all the side effects...no wonder I feel like %$%$%$%$ all the tme

I suspect that this is the case with a LOT of prepared and prepackaged foods to insure "loyalty" from their customers. The general morality in our culture is pretty piss-poor and I feel that it trickles down from the way business is done. Gotcha, fooled , %$%$%$%$ed ya.

Look for products sweetened with Splenda/sucralose (denatured sucrose that the body somehow can't turn into glucose) or Stivia (a natural non-caloric sweetener native to South America).

Equal, Nutra-Sweet, and Sweet n Low all contain aspertame.

I heard that artificial sweeteners were bad for you (I thought more or less digestive issues). I never knew there were neurological side effects.

I've been drinking diet coke since I can remember as young kid. Going to try and can quit soon and hope I don't have any long term issues.

This is in a lot of products and I now try to avoid it. I have been through this already a few years ago after I found it was in the yogurt I used to buy and eat on an almost daily basis.

Stevia is really looking like the winner here to me and thats why I have some growing in the backyard

You'd think the terrible chemical taste would be enough to turn people off...

I try to minimize the synthetic chemicals I ingest.

You guys think all the stuff regulated by the FDA is bad. Think about all the dietary supplements and crap that are for sale that are not regulated.
