Thank you for your opinion but are you a doctor? Um, no is my guess. Or do you specialize in kidney health? Um no is my guess. Or do you read stuff on the Web and take it as gospel? Yes, would be my guess.
My kidney health is fantastic. Just sayin...maybe cause I drink water... lol.... I don't know...
Have you tested your kidneys? Probably not...
What I wrote was for people to read and think about. But thank you for your response.
Well, he's not an md but he has a pH.d
PH.D in what? Lol.... this is so funny. Lol.. do what you want... but thank you again for your opinioncwolfman13 wrote: »Aaron_K123 wrote: »Aaron _k123

Yes...i am Dr. Aaron K, I just don't flaunt that around because I can explain myself without pointing to my degree. I don't specialize in kidney health I'm a biochemist and molecular biologist so I know more about the metabolic breakdown products of molecules and what affects they have on our bodies.
Aspartame breaks down into aspartate, phenylalanine and methanol within our stomachs and intenstines before it crosses into our blood. Those molecules are also found in chicken (aspartate and phenylalanine are amino acids found in any protein) and in orange juice (methanol is present in any fermentable solution). In fact chicken and orange juice have considerably more phenylalanine, aspartate and methanol than would be found in even liters of diet cola. So if aspartame is hurting your kidneys then orange juice and chicken would be utterly laying waste to them. It is for that reason I am fairly confident aspartame does not cause kidney damage.
I have had physicals yes, I have no kidney issues.
OK, and you should flaunt that degree cause that *kitten* is $$$$. JuSt sayin.
Thank you for your opinion. Then please tell me why when someone has significant damage to their kidney they are told only to drink water for a year plus until they rebuild themselves. Wouldn't you also agree that our bodies tend to bioaccumulate things if we don't flush them with water? So in theory even if this chemical that you defend causes no cancer.... Wouldn't you say to maintain overall Kidney Health you should drink regular water and flush your body?
People who have kidney damage are also told to avoid certain fruits and vegetables as to keep potassium levels down...does that mean that these fruits and vegetables shouldn't be consumed by an otherwise healthy individual? Of course not...
Yes you should avoid certain foods no matter what for good health. Agreed. Look, I'm just making a point if water is better for you and you work your *kitten* off to look good.... why not do the same for your insides.... just sayin... I think the labour day weekend of grub is making people cranky.... geez...
The are medical facts that contradict diet soda. But like life it's a choose your own adventure.
I think you are missing the point. Water is better for you because of your particular situation. That does not mean it is better for everyone. There are people out there who cannot eat veggies (yes, I didn't believe it at the time either but there is apparently a very rare genetic defect to that effect), to take the same logic they could say, assuming they lived out of childhood which IIRC most don't, because I can't eat veggies they must be unhealthy for everyone.

What ya trying to say.. actually?
This is the way I see it of course a person with kidney disease is gonna have to be on a special diet structure.
An otherwise healthy person, only needs a balanced diet and perhaps adding in exercise if they choose, that is all that is needed for general health including the kidneys.
But what you described above was "flushing kidneys" etc.. as in some sort of cleanses are need.. Its not.
Its actually needed. Flushing your body is extremely important.
Can you point me in the right direction of your claim?

Oh, also, diet soda isn't evil and if anyone wants them I've got links to a pile of studies and meta-analyses that show why. But it's Friday, so out came the woo!

Those are actually perfect for roasting... The slight staleness will hold up better in the fire. Just wait, the sugar carmelizes on the outside and you'll never eat a regular s'more again.
Plus Peeps have cleansing powers I heard.4 -

lol I love starting threads that end up forming a massive conversation. Anyway thanks to everyone that posted, just needed some help separating fact from fiction.3

I truly appreciate the contributions that @Aaron_K123 have made in this thread. Your knowledge is not lost on many of us and MFP needs knowledgeable members like yourself to keep this from becoming the Yahoo! Health comments section.
I don't appreciate when people make wild nonsensical claims and act like people are uptight when they ask for reputable sources to back up their claim while simultaneously accusing a very patient individual of being a shill or having an Internet PhD.
If you're going to make a claim that goes against the scientific consensus then it is your job to back it up with actual research.22 -

Chemist here, that's not how that works. Compounds bioaccumulate in our bodies (generally in our fat stores) if they can't be transported by water (such as compounds that are nonpolar/hydrophobic).
Nothing present in diet sodas is bioaccumulating in our bodies.20 -
I think its different for EVERYONE. Personally , I did not manage to lose weight when I cut out diet sodas because I felt deprived and also because it helps my sweet tooth. I began drinking diet soda again and lost weight and am still maintaining while drinking 4 litres of diet soda a day. Just because it works for me , doesnt mean it will work for others. Everyone's mind is different. For some people , diet soda makes them crave something sweet and for me it suppresses my appetite. The only thing that is the same for everyone is CI<CO when it comes to losing weight.1

Seriously if you are working so hard to look good on the outside..... learn what can damage your insides. Diet soda is not good for you one bit. Yeah it has no calories, however, do you find that weird at all based on the colour and taste of your drink? Chemicals are rank......
Why would the color and taste make it weird?
Why would you drink something that got its colour from chemicals?
What doesn't get its color from chemicals?
Well, color is weird anyway, as it has to do with our eyes and so on, but setting all that aside...1 -

Can you point me in the right direction of your claim?
What claim? Look all I'm saying is why treat your body with that when you can do better??? Right, don't you work hard to look good? Why not treat your insides the same? Look, it's a fact drinking water is good for you. It's a fact that water contributes to weight loss more than anything else. Don't get me wrong you still have to workout and do what you gotta do....
???
(1) Who has said not to drink water? Do you think drinking diet soda is inconsistent with drinking water? Most people drink multiple beverages -- I certainly do. I'm drinking a coffee right now (more my vice than diet soda, although I occasionally drink that too, and am addicted to LaCroix), but I drink quite a bit of plain water also.
(2) Diet soda and many other beverages contain water.
(3) It is most certainly NOT a fact that water contributes to weight loss more than anything else, except that (of course) if we died from lack of water (not that water must be obtained in non mixed form), we would not lose weight in quite the way we want. But this idea that logging water is important to weight loss or that most people are chronically dehydrated and drinking water is an important step to weight loss is just odd.6 -

I know it can cause you to gain weight around the middle when you gain and drink those, but if it triggered insulin, why do they tell diabetics that are newly diagnosed to switch to diet. I say, drink them in moderation. When you crave the real thing, have a diet version. It's about balance, not perfection right!
I'm one. I would like to quit someday but I've had a few bottles/cans of DMD (Diet Mountain Dew) pretty much everyday while losing 130lbs.1 -
