Well, BS and all that; one thing remains, I get sick when drinking sodas with aspartam!!!

And that was long before they actualy started to wrtite aspartam instead on syntethised swetners on the soda cans

I only knew that they made me puke

[James_D]

well of course there is always are possibility of an allergic reaction. Though I find it VERY unlikely, since the peptide is less than 5kdalton.

Do you puke soon after drinking, like 30 mins, or more, or less???

Sorry, my other half has multiple sclerosis. I haven't heard anything about artificial sweetners affecting the condition and hence my post.

btw, I had a patient today who said that she had MS. I didn't think to clarify it until she mentioned her prosthetic heart valve

I'll stick to glucose/sucrose/fructose, thank you.

I'll just do a few extra pushups.

I can attest to the fact that overuse of Aspertame can cause...

Tremors
memory loss (common toxicity effects)
numbness or tingling of extremities
chronic fatigue
insomnia
blood sugar control problems (e.g., hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia) (see note)
excessive thirst or excessive hunger
joint pain

note: I have reactional Hypoglycemia tho I do not believe Aspertame causes blood sugar problems... had this long before they invented this sick/twisted artificial sweetener (may I slap the norom(s) at the FDA now?

this is after consuming a 2 liter bottle per day for many years

[ZokesPro]

How present are those symptoms with regular cola?

[Greebe]

nonexistant, but let me add, because I have reactional Hypoglycemia I should not ever drink a normal cola

I can taste it instantly and it makes me feel sick right away and if I continue drinking it I'll proabably puke

I', mot stupid enough to keep trinking something that is turning mu stoumage inside out after the first glass

If you are in need of a non caloric beverage, try www.DietRite.com (any flavor). This contains Acesulfame Potassium (Sunett®Brand) artificial sweetener and it does not have the side effects aspertame does.

Acesulfame Potassium

Sounds like some sort of violently corrosive acid.. I suppose the side effects would be rather different if this were the case.

Here's what I managed to find on it.

Is acesulfame potassium safe?


Acesulfame potassium’s safety is supported by more than 90 studies conducted over 15 years. In addition to the U.S., it has been reviewed and determined safe by regulatory authorities in about 90 countries -- including Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Italy and Belgium -- by the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives of the World Health Organization, and by the Scientific Committee for Food of the European Union.

I hate the taste of diet anything.. just won't drink them.
