Excellent info concerning Aspartame for those who are still unaware of this toxic chemical. I urge those with a 'diet' drink in their hands to put it down and back away quickly! Losing pounds isn't worth losing your health.
A natural diet coupled with exercise will shed those pounds without the complications of un-natural sweeteners.
Thanx Annelies for keeping this topic in the fore-front of people's mind.

They did a study a year or two ago, and it doesn't help you loose weight. I didn't have a weight problem until I began using diet drinks. Then after consuming one or two diet drinks a day for years and keeping my calorie intake very low, 800 calories a day. I cannot eat normally and loose weight. I used Aspartame and Sucralose all the time, thinking that it would help, and I learned on one website, that they actually damage the thyroid gland. My weight hovered at the same point all the time, now, I can gain but not loose. I have also gone back to using a combination of sacharin and sugar to take away the bitter taste this helps keep me from using too much sugar. Sacharin is not as bad as it was portrayed to be and much safer than these two.

I believe also IMHO that this may be linked to autism-the spike in the graphs for the increase in autism occurred approximately one year after the advent of aspartame. This is just my opinion-I studied the graphs though and there seemed to be a coralation. Of course it was never investigated by the FDA.

Start reading labels, this stuff has pretty much made its way into our food supply in a big way. It's also very addictive, kicking the diet coke habit is a mission for some and the symptoms of withdraw often need medical attention. I Stick to all natural sweeteners like agave, honey, stevia, and old fashioned maple syrup.

Isn't Dick Cheney connected to this - one of the board of directors at one point?

As the Abolitionists and the RSPCA learned in the nineteenth century, the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. We are responsible for what we eat, we cannot trust government or business.

Thanks Annelies and noted! I've known about aspartame for years. If you google it now you will find "medical" articles trying to debunk it but that's the big bucks from the pharmaceutical compaines talking!
