why dont u jumps urself from a high storey building and end ur lfie in one go instead of murdring urself step by step!? pls for god sake stop urdiet coke immediately!. some fact below to show u how deadly diet cola is

The problem with most Diet Cokes is that they contain the artificial sweetener Aspartame (Some Diet Coke is made with Splenda instead)!.

There have been some studies finding that Aspartame is a multi potential toxin and possibly a carcinogen!. The methyl ester component of Aspartame is metabolized to methanol, which in turn is broken down into formic acid and formaldehyde!. Methanol can lead to serious eye problems; formic acid and formaldehyde are potent carcinogens!. Many people have found a connection between the ingestion of Aspartame with symptoms such as memory loss, headaches, and more pronounced problems including diabetes and brain tumors!. But the most serious reasonably established problem with Aspartame is that one study has found that Aspartame decreases evoked extra cellular dopamine levels in rat brains!.

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, that is, a chemical that nerve cells release that aid in the transmission of nerve impulses to muscles and organs!. The lack of dopamine affects all nerve functions, from walking to chewing, to breathing!. The basic "cause" of Parkinson's disease is the lack of dopamine, and the basic treatment for Parkinson's for more than 50 years has been the administering of dopa drugs, such as L-Dopa, which crosses the blood-brain barrier and restores some of the missing dopamine!.

The lack of dopamine, as in Parkinson's, first manifests as a slowing in voluntary movement and difficulty in basic muscular functions, including hand and finger manipulation, walking, turning, etc!., and as it progresses, effects speech, swallowing, and breathing!.

It will be interesting to see the follow-up to the "rat-brain" study, in several aspects:

1!. Can the results be duplicated thus verifying the conclusions from the scientists and students of Muskingum College;

2!. Will there ever be human studies that produce similar findings in people;

3!. If so, will this result in either the banning of Aspartame, or at least the recommendation that Parkinson's sufferers stay away from it;

4!. Will further studies investigate whether something in Aspartame, that people have been exposed to and have ingested for many years (from before Aspartame was first marketed) that has contributed to loss of dopamine and possibly the development of Parkinson's;

5!. Will anything really develop in this regard, given the fact the all of the earlier studies associating Aspartame with brain tumors, lymphoma, leukemia, fibromyalgia, etc!., have either not been taken seriously by the medical science establishment or have been banished to the circular file by big business and lobbyist money, or is that because the studies deserved no more consideration than they have been given due to their questionable starting points of the ingestion of unreasonably large amounts of the subject products!. Thus has certainly been the criticism of studies of Splenda, and a earlier saccharin studies!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to have a nice supervisor at my old work who drank 2 liters of diet coke daily!. Also had a girlfriend a long time ago who drank it religiously and wouldn't drink any other kind of soda pop!. They both drank it first thing in the morning too!. I thought that was weird!.

Anyway, it caused hypertension and all kinds of health problems for my supervisor!. His doctor made him cut back, but couldn't force him to eliminate it!. He was too addicted!. Some say aspartame has an addiction similar to cocaine for some people!

The aspartame and caffeine are horrible for you!. If you can't cut it out altogether at first, at least try the caffeine free variety!. Aspartame has toxic by products that cannot be broken down by the liver and makes the liver work overtime!.

Anything that is not natural is naturally not good for you!.

It is bad for you in a ton of ways!.

There's a study that shows that people who drink soda and colas in particular have loLOWER BONE-DENSITY!. You would think it was the carbonic acid, but it is believed that this is due to another chemical in Colas that deplete calcium form your blood-stream!.

The artifical sweeteners may also be carcenogenic, but I don't know about the latest and greatest sweeteners being used!. Sacchrine has been shown to cause CANCER in mice!. Don't know about splenda or whatever they use in diet coke!.

Chad answered the part about the sweetener in his anser above!. Lupis is pretty scary shitt!.

Marissa mentioned Caffiene above!.!. That is also a mjor consideration!. It cancontribute to HIGH-BLOOD PRESSURE, and is also carcenogenic in high doses!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think that pretty much anything in excess is bad!. Aspartame found in diet coke and many other sugar free drinks, is what i would be afraid of!. You can do a search on the internet and look up all of the controversy, but some people believe it can cause headaches, Alzheimer's, brain tumors, etc!. I don't think anything is proven, but my grandpa has been drinking diet sodas all of his life and he is starting to show signs of Alzheimer's!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
