The artificial sweetener aspartame has been the subject of a vigorous public controversy regarding its safety and the circumstances around its approval. A few studies have recommended further investigation into the possible connection between aspartame and diseases such as brain tumors, brain lesions, and lymphoma. These findings, combined with alleged conflicts of interest in the approval process, have engendered vocal activism regarding the possible risks of aspartame.
Yep fraid so...I work in a shipping company and they send the concentrate to turkey to be manufactured it has have a Hazardous chemical license...makes you think what your drinking!!
Also currently ungoing serious dental work after years of drinking coke!!
It does do damage eventually and it does make you put on weight there more sugar in the artifical sweetners then normal sugar...
Also smooties if your thinking that the healtly alternative loaded with sugar water or juice is the only thing that doesn't do you damage
bad. because diet coke has sacarin(sweetners), which has been proven to cause cancer.
I love diet coke and for me it's a good substitute for chocolate! but what puts me off is what happens if you drop a penny in it. You can clean your toilet really well with it too. Imagine what it's doing to your insides! I have a friend who drank so much coke (non diet) that his dentist told him to stop because it was softening his teeth. It also makes you go to the toilet far more often - so i'm not sure if it dehydrates you. I also heard that too many carbonated drinks (even sparkling water) can cause osteoporosis. In moderation it's fine but I think it's best not to drink too much.
Very bad,not as diet as they say either.
well, some say it is and some say it isn't. The sweetener aspartame converts to formaldehyde in our bodies, and depending on the report you read can or cannot be harmful. Me, myself, I stay away from embalming chemicals, even in small amounts. Coke (and pepsi) in general is not good for us it contains phosphoric acid, which prevents calcium from binding to our bones as it slowly dissolves them. either way, everything in moderation. Your teeth may be good now but you will suffer osteoporosis by the time you are 60.
im surprised you havent been stuck on the toilet...
coke, no matter which brand it is, contains phenylaline...a natural laxative.
so im surprised you havent been s******g day and night,
all of the artificail sweetners, like aspartame are soooo not good for you.
why are you drinking excessive amounts?
youre not trying that stupid coke diet are you??
drink fruit juices...much more healthy and nutritious
Read the label to see what is in it.
They look it up on the Internet and see the side effects, if any.
I stopped drinking any pop or soda a few years ago. Gatoraid is no better.
Everything we eat today is loaded with chemicals and no ones sure what the LONG-Term effects are!
We all die, but was it early because the the chemicals?
No, I'm not a Vegan or into Organics, fresh food yes.
To: Froogies, Dark chocolate has health benefits in moderation.
I read that aspartame is not good for you. The studies also indicate that carbonated drinks, particularly cola drinks, are also bad because they inhibit your bones from absorbing calcium. That means as you get older, you are more likely to have broken bones that don't heal properly and your teeth will also tend to be weak. I think that's enough to make me not drink those carbonated beverages.
That depends on how you look at it. On the good side, it usually has 0 calories. On the other hand, it is acidic and will slowly rot your teeth. Also, some of the sweeteners have been found to be carcinogenic, but then again, what won't cause cancer in this day and age?
You are actually addicted to the caffine in the coke. That is a bad thing though because caffine is actually a poison (hense why its a diuretic) and if you consume too much, it can have adverse affects.
Overall, drinking 1-2 litres a night, you will see problems with your teeth, but you will not put on weight. So to answer your question in 3 words: Yes, it's bad.
Well, here's the straight dope on diet soft drinks. It isn't good news.
Aspartame is one of the most dangerous chemical additives in food at this time. Right now there are more than 90 listed side-effects of Aspartame from abdominal pain to brain cancer and death. Here's what happens....
Methanol, from aspartame, is released in the small intestine when the methyl group of aspartame encounters the enzyme chymotrypsin . Free methanol begins to form in liquid aspartame-containing products at temperatures above 86 degrees F.. also within the human body.
The methanol is then converted to formaldehyde. The formaldehyde converts to formic acid, ant sting poison. Toxic formic acid is used as an activator to strip epoxy and urethane coatings. Imagine what it does to your tissues!
Phenylalanine and aspartic acid, 90% of aspartame, are amino acids normally used in synthesis of protoplasm when supplied by the foods we eat. But when unaccompanied by other amino acids we use [there are 20], they are neurotoxic.
That is why a warning for Phenylketonurics is found on EQUAL and other aspartame products. Phenylketenurics are 2% of the population with extreme sensitivity to this chemical unless it's present in food. It gets you too, causing brain disorders and birth defects! Finally, the phenyalanine breaks down into DKP, a brain tumor agent.
In other words: Aspartame converts to dangerous byproducts that have no natural countermeasures. A dieter's empty stomach accelerates these conversions and amplifies the damage. Components of aspartame go straight to the brain, damage that causes headaches, mental confusion, seizures and faulty balance. Lab rats and other test animals died of brain tumors.
The truth about aspartame's toxicity is far different than what the NutraSweet Company would have you readers believe. In February of 1994, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released the listing of adverse reactions reported to the FDA (DHHS 1994). Aspartame accounted for more than 75% of all adverse reactions reported to the FDA's Adverse Reaction Monitoring System (ARMS). By the FDA's own admission fewer then ONE PERCENT of those who have problems with something they consume ever report it to the FDA. This balloons the almost 10,000 complaints they once had to around a million. However, the FDA has a record keeping problems quiet and they tend to discourage or even misdirect complaints, at least on aspartame. The fact remains, though, that MOST victims don't have a clue that aspartame may be the cause of their many problems! Many reactions to aspartame were very serious including seizures and death.
It's really no surprise that the rate of brain cancer and brain tumors has sky-rocketed since Aspartame entered the market. How Aspartame came to be approved is a whole other story, one of corruption and pay-offs. I hope you all investigate.
Splenda is no better. Just follow the links, as they will tell you the truth about Splenda as well.
