Diet drinks advice..

This one hits close to home for me. Yes there are many scientific evidence stating that diet sodas
can make you gain instead of loose. They cause cravings, they cause a slowdown of the metabolic system, but most importantly the chemicals threat are contained in that nutra sweet can cause adverse health effects such as seizures, headaches, cancer, mood disorders, ect. For me it's seizures. 1 can of diet soda will put me in the emergency room. Look up "dangers of nutra sweet/ aspartame on google. You will be shocked about what it says. The main thing you have to know is that everything you put into your body is broken down into smaller ingredients for your body to digest and apply where needed. Nutra sweet breaks down into its smallest parts as formaldehyde (cancer causing chemical that is found in just about anything you eat but not to the degree that it is in nutra sweet, and also used in embalming people for burial. Hmmm isn't that ironic) and ethyl alcohol. And extremely deadly form of alcohol that is not readily available to just ingest like that. We'll kinda it is rubbing alcohol). Formaldehyde then breaks down into amino proteins and acts as a neurotoxin. Hmmm now why would I want to poison my nuero abilities, brain). That's the brunt of it. Most people have an intolerance to it and don't know it because they have been ingesting it for so long. We found out about mine through a series of ekg's. And cat scans while they were determining if I was epileptic at 5 yrs old. Somy advice is to cut it out for a full month and see what happens. Add it back in after a month if you feel "funny" in anyway, lack of sleep, cravings,headaches, seizures, memory loss, ect. Stop it immediately. Nutra sweet is extremely bad stuf!

This is completely false. To start with, an apple has over 10 times more formaldehyde than a diet soda. There is actually ZERO scientific evidence for any of the claims you are making. As for ethyl alcohol? That's the kind of alcohol in beer and wine. Formaldehyde also doesn't become a neurotoxin, it's metabolized into formic acid and exhaled from the lungs. It's actually a quite normal part of the respiration cycle, every time you breathe out, you're exhaling formaldehyde.

You are wrong it is not the formaldehyde it is the amino proteins that are the nuero toxins. It is not false and as I have said I will not put my personal medical records out the for you to critique you are not the medical profession who tried to put me on epileptic medicine at age 5 and the one that tested me and told my parents that it was the nutra sweet. All I can do is ask you to go out and research it before making the claims that what someone said is false. I have posted four links on the dangers of it one showing how
W it got approved to begin with. Did you know it was banned by the FDA twice! Did you know what it breaks down into. My suspicions are you haven't ever known anyone that did have an allergic reaction/ intolerance to it so I bet you just going to say I'm liking so that you can look better! People amaze me. Did you even read my post. Doubt it because you would have seen that I said it was in ALL natural substances .

Don't tell someone who has experienced it that the are wrong! That like telling an alcoholic that he can have all the alcohol he wants and it will never affect him. Not everyone has reactions to the amino proteins but if they do they can cause that person. To die much like peanuts and peanut allergies.

Diet soda has no sugar or calories and will not actually effect true weight loss. The sodium in diet drinks could cause some water retention.

When your fat burning engine is revved up, a diet drink will stop it in its tracks. Further, the sodium in those things makes you thirsty for more and makes you retain fluid. Stay away from them. Find flavored fizzy mineral water and get used to the taste of it. It is an adjustment, but you will come to appreciate the clean flavor and feel of them.

I also like drinking unsweetened soy milk with meals.

Do you have any evidence to support this? Because I have never heard this to be true.

Have a few glasses of pepsi max a day. Helps with cravings and has NOT stopped me losing weight. I don't really believe in the scare stories.

You should. I am severely allergic and intolerant to the evil stuff. It is cancer causing and causes me the have seizures. I have to check everything for nutra sweet/aspartame!

I'm severely allergic to capsaicin (anything spicy, basically). Just because it's bad FOR ME doesn't mean it's bad FOR EVERYONE.

I drink diet soda a few times a week and I think my weight loss speaks for itself. Zero calories means it cannot physically make you gain any weight.

I think where it CAN sabotage people is if you're the kind of person who does mental "trade-offs." Statistically many people tend to underestimate how many calories they're consuming and overestimate how many they're saving. Like if you are the kind of person to say "I was 'good' and had a diet soda instead of a regular soda for lunch... so it's okay for me to have an extra slice of chocolate cake for dinner." I see people at McDonald's getting a super-sized meal with a large Diet Coke all the time, I'm sure they think they're trading off, too. But since weight loss is about creating a calorie deficit from the number of calories you consume, if you play these kinds of mental bargaining games with yourself with diet soda, then it's possible you can overdo it with some other food. I hope that makes sense!

Yeah I don't go to mcdonalds either. I don't eat anything they make. Yuck! Chicken isn't even real.

Do you have phenylketonuria? Aspartame is an amino acid that can build up in people who lack the enzymes to digest it. Other than that, unless you consume HUGE quantities of it, it doesn't cause problems unless you have phenylketonuria.

ETA: Things sweetened with aspartame always have a warning label on them for phenylketonurics to avoid ingesting.
