Eating a donut after months of healthy eating = nearly puked.
Not sure what's going on here. I ate a donut and a 1/2, and I haven't had any since November 2016. Now, I have really bad chest pains, and I feel nauseous.

Someone please help me understand why aspartame or Splenda is somehow bad for me?
For almost 16 years, I have been drinking diet soda (prefer water however), and putting Splenda in my oatmeal, my coffee and anything that uses sugar in cooking. I get a lot frowns from my whole-foods elitists friends who proceed to dump many grams of sugar into their lattes and teas. If I drink regular Coke or coffee with…
