    So my Diet Coke is going to give me MS now? I've already lost 3 toes from it, but I've got 7 more, no biggie. But MS?













    Fear mongering at it's finest.

    I think for general balance purposes, all you really need are the toes on the outside of each foot. So as long as you have those, game on!

    On the one hand I think the whole Aspartame thing is evil (see Sweet Misery documentary) and we'd be better off with just chugging back the sugary stuff and on the other I think the dose is in the poison.

    Christ knows what the truth is but I feel somehow unclean every time I pop open a can as I tend to do daily.

    and most of all its free.

    You go down to the river and scoop it out? Because if it comes out of a faucet or a bottle, it ain't free.

    My lupus went into remission. Around the same time I started drinking 2 diet orange sodas per day. Coincidence? You decide.

    It was just a post i came by to be honest, Aspartame may or may not be bad for you but me personaly dont drink any thing but water anyway as its natural and think its the best and healthiest liquid around and most of all its free.

    but some people say Aspartame is bad for you so i thought id share this as it may just be that way.

    there is alot of articles that say its bad and in some place has been banned from using it

    BUT.... Its up to you to believe it or not

    My advice to you is choose WATER to drink instead its ZERO Calories & Good for you.
    remeber the human body is 70 - 80% water to so we need water to servive :drinker:
    You can drink water and diet soda in moderation and be fine. Posting a BS article doesn't support your advice to drink water only and in REAL life, most people wouldn't just be satisfied with just drinking water. Have fun with your water only. I'll have fun with other drinks as well as still getting in my water too.

    I actually like water. I don't really get this (*not that that's the only thing I drink, but if you stop drinking cokes for a while you'll probably not like them nearly as much when you go back).

    Not that I think they give you lupus or MS or anything like that.

    Seriously? :noway: Why do people keep spreading this crap around. :huh: Based on this, I should be dead or in a wheelchair and my kids should be deformed and disabled. I was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic in 1994, been on insulin ever since. Doc told me to switch to diet sodas, which I did. I also use Equal in my coffee. Have been for 19 yrs. I drank this stuff while pregnant with both my kids, who are now 17 and 12. The 17 year old is an honor student. My 12 year old is smart and a normal kid. They drank my diet sodas with me when they were little (liked to sip off "mommy's drink") Although they drink regular soda now. I am not a huge drinker of diet soda, but with all the drinks I have had over the years and all the Equal I put in my coffee daily, you would think I would have been affected by now, if this stuff were true. Ok, stepping off my soap box now. :smile:

    It is so important to check your sources when making claims.

    Who wrote this article (the person travelling and speaking/making money)? Where is the research to support this claim?

    I see all the addicts have arrived. :happy:
    I drink Crystal Light daily and diet soda occasionally.
    I have mixed feelings about doing so but I'm not ready to give it up.

    I imagine water is better for me without the CL but it tastes so damn good.

    Thanks for the posting the article, OP. :flowerforyou:
