eddy cochran 0 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 to all you folks out there who care about their own health, log on to google or any search engine and just put in aspartame, dont take any notice of the first few www., they are written by the makers, i.e. canderel,equal,etc,follow the links to the real truth , you may be very suprised what you are drinking. my 18 year old son had 3 seizures in 1 hour on his birthday through drinking too much diet coke and spent a week in intensive care,as a result he was banned from driving and as he was also learning to fly cessna,s was banned from that ,and scuba diving, only after 7 months of tests and brain scans and mri scans did the neurologist admit it was caused by aspartame. i write this because it can happen to you. it,s pretty devastating to see your healthy son trying to bite through his own tongue on his 18 th birthday.

Guest SJM Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Ive been trying to tell folk about this for years but they just look at me like I am from Mars when I say about the crazy chemicals in stuff nowadays. I have a high intolerance to caffeine and artificial sweetners like aspartame and also anything that says it has phenylalanine (sp) in it. This means most soft and fizzy drinks (ribena is about the only one I will drink) and diluting juices. Basically anything which says SUGAR FREE or NO ADDED SUGAR on it will have one or more of these nasties in it The side effects for me of drinking fizzy drinks are that they make me tense, agitated, irritable, restless, twitchy and generally a downright nasty fecker (well nastier than normal ) and to think many people pump their kids full of this shit on a daily basis think of all the fizzy drinks and sweets etc kids like to eat, its no wonder you see so many hyperactive, grizzly kids driving their parents insane most folk dont notice stuff like this cos they are immune to it, but I bet if you stopped taking the sweetners in your tea/coffee or the fizzy drinks etc you would notice the difference in your mood as well as your health Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 The shit really hit the fan about Aspartame about three years or so ago. That crucifyingly hot summer? Tesco had shelves stacked with the stuff. And guess what they did with it, having learned it's considered Highly Carcinogenic? Why, they slapped a 'Two for the Price of One' label on the sceptic shit and started stacking it on the lowest shelf of their soft drinks displays! Right where kiddies would be best able to grab a bottle and say, " Mummy ....! " Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aled 508 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 My son has a condition called Phenylketoneurea (PKU) which means he has a very strict diet (his body cant process protein the way most of us can). The most important thinh to avoid is Phenylaline and aspartime both of which are found in Diet drinks, these substances are toxic to his brain. It seems hes not the only one. Sympathies to all.
