    Wow!! :(

    I do not think anyone is arguing that some people have a sensitivity to it, but it is really no different than people having allergic reactions to, for example, peanuts. For some people peanuts cause severe problems, but that does not make them inherently 'bad'.

    You keep beating me to it :flowerforyou:

    Yes, saying that aspartame is "poison" because you had a bad reaction to it would be like a person with a peanut allergy calling peanuts poison. The fact is, MILLIONS of people use artificial sweeteners every day with no ill effects.

    Corn gives me migraines and if my dogs gets ANY form of corn I'm spending 300 at the vet getting her skin and ears under control.

    Clearly someone needs to ban corn

    Splenda in my coffee x 2, diet dp w/ lunch and dinner. I'm certain that I'm consuming too much of the stuff. I guess I need to get through this wall of wanting and justifying these little "calore-free" drinks. What a cruel world! I'm totally effing bummed, yo.

    I got a 200-calorie chocolate bar and a diet dr pepper today. course, it was after my 800-plus calorie burn at the gym. so I have plenty of room. is that still hilarious, or am I OK?

    I never liked diet sodas because they tasted gross until I tried Diet Dr. Pepper. Then, I got totally addicted!

    I started drinking a can or two a day at minimum and soon discovered that it gave me bladder problems. Pain in my bladder, sometimes pain within, while/after peeing... like a UTI but it wasn't! I medicated for a UTI, but the meds tasted horrible so I dumped them in more Diet Dr Pepper, all of a sudden the symptoms worsened (I drank a TON Of diet dr pepper that day) and I realized what had happened.


    Diet Dr. Pepper is sweetened with Aspartame, so was the Equal sweetener I was dumping in my coffee.

    Now, I've cut it all out save for a little bit of splenda, now I'll probably just go buy stevia! "D It really screwed me up, within a few days of cutting it all out and drinking plenty of water I was doing fine :D

    You also could have had all those bladder problems because the amount of caffeine you had ingested in the soda and coffee had you dehydrated. I'm guessing if you drank all that, you probably didn't get in 8 glasses of water too.

    and again *sigh*

    Caffiene has a very very minimal impact on hydration.

    blue agave is also natural, and tastes better than stevia!

    This article is this guys opinion, none of it is fact. I would like to see real, scientific journal articles from a real medical journal. Many 'trainers' call themselves nutritionists, when they are not, in fact nutritionists or dietitians. I know plenty of people who drink diet drinks who are not overweight or obese. Excess calories and sedentary lifestyle cause weight gain. Diet drinks have ZERO calories, therefore, will not cause weight gain. Now, what if those who are drinking diet colas rationalize by saying "i saved 300 kcal by drinking diet instead of regular, I deserve the Big Mac and fries"? Is it the diet cola that caused weight gain? Or the Big Mac and fries? Am I saying diet cola is good for you? Absolutely not. Especially when it replaces healthier options like water and milk. Does it cause weight gain. Absolutely not. Be smart. Moderation is key.

    This....I've lost 80 lbs and drink diet soda!
