Guest guest Posted March 5, 2001 Report Share Posted March 5, 2001 Hi Everyone!! Has anyone found their child to get more hyper after giving them Diet Soda? I am wondering about the phenylalanine in soda. Please respond with any stories and/or beliefs on diet soda for our kids. Thank you in advance.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2001 Report Share Posted March 5, 2001 Diet Soda usually has aspartame in it, which I believe is very bad for you even if it is " natural " . It would be best never to give any child soda of any sort, and certainly not diet soda. Of course, if your child is a teenager you may not have the control over the situation you once had. martha Diet Soda > > Hi Everyone!! > > Has anyone found their child to get more hyper after > giving them Diet Soda?

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2001 Report Share Posted March 5, 2001 That's another internet myth that is complete nonsense. There is NO evidence that aspartame is harmful unless you have phenylketonuria.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2001 Report Share Posted March 6, 2001 Okay, give your child diet soda, but I can assure you that I read bout asparatame long before I even used the internet. I am sure there are more nutritious drinks out there. Martha Diet Soda > > > > > > Hi Everyone!! > > > > Has anyone found their child to get more hyper after > > giving them Diet Soda?

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2001 Report Share Posted March 8, 2001 of course there are more nutritious drinks, but being that they cannot have dairy nor juice (except very limited) it is sometimes a " treat " for them. Personally I give my son flavored seltzer water 99% of the time. I think the diet soda is only an issue if your kid reacts to it, although clearly of no nutritious value Diet Soda > > > > > > > > > > Hi Everyone!! > > > > > > Has anyone found their child to get more hyper after > > > giving them Diet Soda?

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2001 Report Share Posted March 10, 2001 1/4 juice & 3/4 carbonated water=soda in my house. Kathy -Northern New York Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2001 Report Share Posted March 10, 2001 Speaking of soda, we are forgetting a factor just as significant as apartame. Namely, the phosphorus content which is depriving our children of their needed calcium. I only allow my non-autistic son to have one pop a week. The average adult consumption of ANY kind of pop should be 2 liters per week...otherwise we are robbing our bone bank big time. I have several children in my practice who have been " cured " of " growing pains " (espec. leg pain/cramps, etc) when we eliminate pop and add a calcium supplement. It's sad to me that we allow young children such ready access to pop in schools and that it is actually CHEAPER to drink than juice or water. As if our children are not being exposed to enough already. Even if aspartame is safe (and I have my doubts) what about all that other stuff on the label? Does anyone seriously even know what any of it is!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2001 Report Share Posted March 10, 2001 it could be due to aspartame, which many people are allergic to. see the website called " truthinlabeling.com " ...also, you might want to check out the book titled Excitotoxins, which discusses the neurotoxicity of both aspartame and glutamates (there are about 40 kinds of glutamates; for ex., there area 4 different ones in Worcestershire sauce). mary n.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 They make caffeine-free diet Coke and Pepsi. It will say on the label if it is caffeine-free. At present I prefer diet root beer, and it doesn't have caffeine. I know that water is healthier, and I drink that, too, but I love my bubbly root beer with the carbonation. I don't intend to give it up, and it doesn't make me gain weight.
