Did you know...??

Aspartame was introduced as an artificial sweetener by the Monsanto Company in the 1970s. For much of the intervening time, individuals and special interest groups have maintained that aspartame damages the nervous system. Given the number and popularity of the items that are sweetened using aspartame (i.e., yogurts, soft drinks), the special interest groups assert that the general population is at risk for neurological damage caused by the ingestion of aspartame.

Alleged harmful effects of aspartame ingestion include seizures and a change in the level of dopamine, a brain neurotransmitter. Symptoms associated with lupus, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease have been claimed to result from an excess intake of aspartame. As well, aspartame consumption is claimed to increase the difficulty of diet-dependent diabetics in regulating their blood glucose level.

yah i know it is boring!!

Yes I do know, yes I have lupus, yes I used to drink 1 6-12 pack a day of diet pepsi, now, I try to keep it to 1. as for the other foods, I keep it simple, I choose full fat yougurts, My weight is pretty good, I do have CNS issues but have before th apartarmne. and even now with one still do. so I try hard to stay away, its a final addiction being broken very very slowly. to go from what I did drink to what I do drink i amazing. It was my breakfast and luch at a point. I know the damage have had read articles, looked into it. however the rest of my diet I give on a scale of 1 -10 about a 7 1/2 I eat good, with occasional treat because depravation of what you want makes you binge and I dont do that, which would be the same for the diet soda, if totally deprived Id go tailspinning and binge on a 6 pack instead of one, but my coffee is now black.

You did bring a good point up to the people who may not have known though
