Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 HI, Sandy, Sorry, the message that you shared is a hoax. I also believed it when I read it about four or five years ago, and even stopped drinking diet drinks. At that time I was drinking 12-20 each day, and figured that the sweetener could be a problem. I now drink only water and decaf iced tea, but have not noticed any improvement in my " problems " . Take a look at: http://www.snopes.com/toxins/aspartame.asp Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Don if this is a Hoax why 12-20 aday. Do you realize that ,divided into 24 hours ..If thats not an addiction LOL .If someone drank that many beers a day what would you say ? LOL . Obviously none around you noticed anything differrent .My Brother in law thinks that way ,but to be an observer it looks quite different ..He gets pushy and hyperactive after about 2:00 in the afternoon ,can " t sit still has blood pressure problems . my sister ignores it because she dosent want his blood pressure to go up .Seriously did you really read all of that article ? the ADDICTION PART ? If Aspartame makes you drink that much soda in a day it is ADDICTIVE . Did you ever wander why we have a FAT society? it's not the food it's the people that can't control when they eat or how much .If 12-20 soda,s in a day is not eccessive i dont know what is . It used to be bad to eat between meals i wander why ? MORE WATER IF YOU MUST AND NOT TAP WATER GEO Re: Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi users HI, Sandy, Sorry, the message that you shared is a hoax. I also believed it when I read it about four or five years ago, and even stopped drinking diet drinks. At that time I was drinking 12-20 each day, and figured that the sweetener could be a problem. I now drink only water and decaf iced tea, but have not noticed any improvement in my " problems " .
