    Well, FWIW, the article doesn't say that.
    Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

      I'm looking forward to Nutrasweet's Neotame. It's 8,000 to 13,000 times sweeter than sugar.

          aspartemene is not hazardous. My aunt just sent one of those annoying chain emails saying it is. But I had to send her the snopes.com page on it and show her there is no scientific evidence saying aspartamene is dangerous.

              The thing that's bad about diet soda is that it can be unhelpful in losing weight, despite the lack of calories. Apparently artificial sweeteners "trick" the body into thinking that sugars are coming into the system, so it gears up to process them, but then they don't actually come, and the body gets an increased craving for sugars as a result.

              It's best just to drink water anyway.

                  My understanding was that aspartane turns toxic under high temperatures and may have been a cause of Gulf War syndrome.

                        I think that the acidic crap in high volumes going down the pipe has the potential to create more gastreointenstinal damage, which is more of a risk, than the artificial sweeteners have on the body itself.

                          *snicker* Gulf War syndrome!! I wonder if people who postulated that realize that a LLLLLOOOOTTT of people drink Coke, even in the ME.

                            The story behind it was that soldiers left the diet soda in the back of a jeep or tank, where it was heated to really high temperatures for a long period of time. Subsequently it was re-chilled and then consumed.

                              One other thing to mention about diet drinks is that even though your body doesn't process the energy, I think things like yeast or athelete's foot can still process the artificial sugar as an energy source.

                                Diet drinks should be compulsory for dieting
                                I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.
