Doctor_Strangelove Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Most studies seem to show that aspartame has no noticeable adverse effects on animal and human health so most of the bad press really isn't warranted. There really isn't much more to discuss other than it tastes terrible but it might be good for some diabetics I guess. It might be important to remember that people with Phenylketonuria shouldn't consume any products containing aspartame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hking03 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Water is 10x tastier than diet coke. Diet coke tastes like oil lol. A don't forget, you can't just drink lots of diet coke without consequences and it has nothing to do with those "adverse" effects. i'd have to agree that drinking water is ridiculously good- especially after a workout, run or while i'm at work... but diet coke is like my treat- i don't drink beer very often or anything else with calories in it so it changes things up a bit. also, thought i'd throw out this link- it's a self carbonating tool so you don't have to buy carbonated water anymore... pretty freaking cool and apparently good for the environment... http://www.sodastreamusa.com/product_info.aspx they also offer an assortment of flavor packets that you can add to make the water tastier.

smalltowngirl33 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 what are you thoughts on this? what are your thoughts on the FDA? Well, I am mildly allergic to aspartame so I strongly dislike it. Has anyone found any good articles about positive/negative health effects of aspartame?

smalltowngirl33 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 too much aspartame can give you watery diarrhea +/- blood. that's about it. Definitely not a fan of watery diarrhea... with or without blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hking03 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 too much aspartame can give you watery diarrhea +/- blood. that's about it. isn't that an issue with sorbitol too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor_Strangelove Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 isn't that an issue with sorbitol too? Ya I thought that was an effect with sorbitol or sucralose and other synthetic sugars that aren't really absorbed by the bowel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrogirl Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Ya I thought that was an effect with sorbitol or sucralose and other synthetic sugars that aren't really absorbed by the bowel. And those chips they have in the States with the fake fat that come with a warning label about "anal leakage"... very appetizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviathan Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Diet Coke tastes like crap. Coke Zero is barely any better. Doesn't have "Real Coke taste" like they claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylamonkey Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Ya I thought that was an effect with sorbitol or sucralose and other synthetic sugars that aren't really absorbed by the bowel. I think it's just sugar alcohols, not aspartame. FTR- I don't drink carbonated beverages very often, but would probably not drink diet ones if I did. For my 3 cans per year, I can probably afford the 150calories or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Stark Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 too much aspartame can give you watery diarrhea +/- blood. that's about it. Nonsense. And makes less sense for something metabolized by the liver... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
