If you inject it into your veins you'll get cancer maybe. Then again, name any substance in a grocery store you think it'd be healthy to shoot up.

By the time Aspartame reaches the bloodstream it's broken down into 4 natural components found in bread, apples, etc.

The carbonation is the only think I worry about in pop. It can deteriorate calcium reserves, so just make sure to take calcium.

If I go deaf, blind, retarded, impotent, dead, or combust, then I'll eat my words. Till then I'll eat packs of Nutrasweet!

of course its safe, anything that Donald Rumsfeld pushed through is bound to be as safe as houses. Please explain why when i have anything with aspartame in i void my bowels......anything that does that must be super cutey safe pies.

rooibos tea with milk is good for u with no caffeine. try it it is lovely alternative to normal tea when u want a change.

I have aspartame in pepsi max now and then but generally stick to normal pepsi even tho it tastes much less nice.

Probably because it has an effect on you personally, and so you have done the right thing and realized what gave you those symptoms and cut the offending product out.
Lots of people have reactions to lots of things, doesn't mean they are all going to kill us. These studies are often taken out of context, just because some thing is harmful to rats and mice in a laboratory doesn't mean it is harmful to the human population, it just means its harmful to rats and mice and so the scientists need to look further, the same would be true if the rats and mice thrived on it.

Cybercondria... i like that term.

youre a population of one. its pointless to make any generalisations from that tiny a data set. maybe youve a slight allergy to it?

Unless you're diabetic, I really don't see a reason to consume that shit. Just use real sugar. Aspartame is absolutely vile, and if you like the flavor you're insane. Don't want to get fat? Quit eating so many cupcakes and get off your ass once in a while. Try an apple instead of that doughnut in the morning. STOP DRINKING FUCKING SODA. If you stop drinking soda, after a while you will not miss it. Switch to juice (watered down for less calories!) and water.

I stopped drinking soda like 6 years ago. The only time I can stand Coke is in a Jack & Coke. Otherwise, it's just too goddamn sweet and makes my mouth all sticky. Coke/7up/Pepsi/etc isn't even refreshing because there is so much sodium and "natural flavorings" and shit.

This country is retarded with eating habits. We are so lazy that we make drugs and chemicals to help us be even more lazy by not having to exercise, and they don't even work. "Dieting" is useless because most people just get fat again after they drop the weight. Eating properly and maintaining a somewhat active lifestyle are the only things that work. It's not hard to count calories and go for a nice bike ride a few times a week.

I was around in the early eighties when Aspartame got FDA approval. At the time my major was chemistry and I was stunned at how easily this substance passed the clinical trials. I was even more shocked when I learned that GD Searle(the manufacturer) also sponsored the clinical trials

In no time flat this chemical was in every product you can think of.

fluoride - I grew up with it, never and have never had a cavity or any diseases.

my favorite was Olestra and 'anal leakage.' like omfg the scientist who knew about that was a complete dripping asshole.

I bought these Doritos about two years ago, I think they were the buffalo kind. They had the warning on the bag about whatever oil they were using that happened to be similar to Olestra. Anyway, I'll just say that they aren't bullshitting you when they say it may cause Anal Leakage.

That was the last time I bought Doritos.

when my girlfriend has it she has huge headaches and feels sick. and when 2 of my friends have anything with it in on an empty stomach they also void their bowls. They only recently found out it was the aspartame due to me pointing it out to them. It effects some more than others. No skin off my nose if you want to use it. but i steer well clear of it.

I don't drink that shit. Phenalenaline is fucking poison. It metabolizes into phamaldehide in the body. Do the chemistry yourself.

Aspartame

tea parties are better than aspartame parties
