So it's safe to drink diet coke just as long as you get drunk afterwords.
I take it to mean it is safe to drink diet coke as a mixer....
Time for more Crown
This is my interpretation too. I can volunteer as test subject tonight.

Well, I suppose that sounds like a reasonable excuse. Can I still get drunk?2 -

Thanks I'm immunosuppressed (on azathioprine and infliximab) so I get infections often. Flagyl is an add on because I am at high risk of getting c diff so just to be careful.0 -

No, I had to go back to work this week. Funny how much that cuts into MFP time.1 -
I stopped all aspertame products and my swelling has gone away..My stomach issues have healed..Blood levels returned to normal..While this may look like it proves it to be safe I would still use in moderation....You just never know for sure..Like cigarettes use to be safe..YEH Quite the opposite..For me getting off the fake sweetners and switching to organic honey and agave nectar has been an over all health improvment for me..And my cancer is in remission......2

Is it possible that you had issues with swelling, your stomach and aberrant blood levels because you had cancer? I mean what makes you think your health issues weren't just related to the cancer and were symptoms of the developing cancer? What made you think it was due to something like a sweetner?

I've been drinking diet drinks for years now and I used to get quite a few headaches....friends and family assured me it was aspartame that was causing it but eventually I narrowed it down to the fact I was type 2 obese and my diet was *kitten*. Still drink plenty of cherry max but headaches a thing of the past since I lost over 70lbs....go figure.13

i dont disagree that aspartame could cause headaches or migraines in some people - migraine triggers are so varied and individual.
I have known people who got migraines from MSG and my brother seemed to get them from copha.
If anything seems to cause migraines you (general you) would be wise to avoid that thing - even if you are not sure what is the exact cause- ie is it aspartame or caffeine or caramel or ?
But avoid diet coke anyway - that is sensible.
I dont think there is any disagreeing with that by posters in these threads - it is only when people make absurd 'Everyone should avoid it because it does x to me' claims or 'It made me grow 2 heads' or other ridiculous hyperbolic claims

I know this is an old reply but I'm just finally reading this thread all the way through. The quoted would be more of a reason for me TO drink it than not.9 -
Just adding this not sure if it was mentioned if your worried about the calories in artificial sweeteners, they offer liquid version which are 0 calories. The calories come from the fillers in the powdered form not the sweetener itself.0

Is anyone really worried about the calories in artificial sweeteners???
I mean, they are so negligible.4 -
Oh wow! Very informative. I had been wondering about aspartame myself. A guy I know said he cut out aspartame and sucralose and what he calls "fake sugars" and claimed to lose 40 pounds in a month. (He was about 290.) I didn't tell him this, but I think he lost that weight because he cut way down on calories, but he attributed the loss to the cutting out of fake sugars instead.
And if he weighed the same as a duck, he'd be made of wood. Thus, we could burn him as a witch...if we were in the business of burning witches, that is.
Hahaha Monthy Pyton much Love it2
