Bill - When you get the flaming e-mails from people calling you a " sinner "

because of participating in medical studies just remember that not too long

ago people thought it was useless to wash hands - take baths and many other

basics that we know today to be essential in medicine and good health - I

commend you for participating. Rebekah

I have a question for those of you who suffer from headaches, palpitations

and raise in bg when you consume aspartame. Was your aspartame consumption

in the form of soft drinks? If so, did the drinks also contain caffeine.

Caffeine can cause all of those symptoms, too.

Just curious.

I wonder if it could be the combination of the two - When I was drinking diet

soda with caffeine in it, I would get the symptoms mentioned above along with

confusion and sometimes dizziness. If I were careful and had the

caffeine-free variety, the symptoms were lessened but still there.

Funny thing - tea has caffeine in it - and it doesn't seem to affect me as

much - I never add any sweetener though. Makes me wonder if the sweetener

isn't a catalyst of sorts for the caffeine in the product.

Yes it was with soft drinks but......I don't have the same effect with Diet

RC also, I did get it with SF Jello and now I make my own with Kool Aid and

Splenda I don't have a problem.

Ah!! There're those words again - Splenda and Diet RC !! I am really

frustrated with this! Went to Walmart yesterday to see if the actually did

put Diet RC on the shelf as my daughter said - and well..... no Diet RC - in

fact no RC at all - only Diet Rite cola filled both sections. and they were

all Aspartame - I think someone got the message/order wrong. GRRRRRR! Well,

it's back to Walmart again to check on this one - couldn't find a soul to

help the other day in that department.

Seems that Walmart in our area is changing gears and some of the

dietetic/diabetic products are no longer available so they are cutting back

on all of it - I pointed out to a number of the dept heads - that I could

find that is - that perhaps they weren't putting enough of the product on the

shelf and they were selling too fast and the shelves weren't being

replenished fast enough. All of them said they would double check on my

complain/request and see if more of the products could be made available -

Very frustrating - Seems like every time I find a product I can handle, it

is taken off the shelf because it isn't a big seller. I pointed this out to

the dept head of the bakery section in particular and told him that it wasn't

necessarily the case that majority should rule - I mean look at the

overabundance of sugar products in that dept alone - can't they mak one

little concession to have a corner with products for diabetics?!

He said he understoood my request but he has nothing to do with what the home

office does - even the decision where he displays his products is left to the

home office - they now display donuts on the aisle where the sugar-free was

and they are not selling at all - GOOD! - maybe that'll help them to

understand that we're important too!

Maybe I'll go complain to Publix. :>)

All the WalMarts in the north have the Diet RC as well as the President

brand that is starting to do a change over with its diet soda. I see there

is now a root beer with the Splendia in it.

We have the same problem here with the no sugar added bakery items. I have

to drive over 8 miles to get to one that has them as most of the stores on

my side of the city do not carry the products as there is not enough call

for it. Many say that it is not used because there is added fat to replace

the sugar.
