今日タカマさんからにこのリンクを送ってもらった。Aspartameの危険性についてのページです。アメリカではNutrasweetと呼んでいて、日本では「Pal Sweet Diet」です。僕の大好きなDiet Cokeには入ってます。これからこのページの沢山のリンク先を見て勉強します。皆さんもダイエットSodaを飲むなら一回この件について勉強したほうがいいかも。このページに書いてあることが本当だったら、すぐDiet Cokeやめよう。
以下ページからハイライトを引用しました。

Aspartame is poison!
- Aspartame/Nutrasweet is not very sweet in itself, that may be why Equal puts Dextrose (sugar) and maltodextrin as the first ingredients, so that it tastes sweet.
- Aspartame/Nutrasweet is a brain drug that stimulates your brain so you think that the food you're eating tastes sweet. If you pay attention you'll notice that when using Aspartame/Nutrasweet, everything you eat at the same time also tastes sweet! This may be why Aspartame/Nutrasweet causes you to crave carbohydrates. Hence, you won't lose weight using it. BTW, cyclamates got pulled off the market in the 70's in the US (but not Canada or the rest of the world) because the sugar industry saw too much of their market disappear.
- Aspartame/Nutrasweet (aspartylphenylalanine-methyl-ester) breaks down to its poison constituents at 86 degrees (Aspartic Acid 40%, Phenylalanine 50%, and Methanol 10%). Remember your stomach is at 98.6 degrees! Therefore you should never use Aspartame/Nutrasweet in hot beverages or cooked foods such as Jello. How the FDA allows this remains a mystery. There is mounting evidence that the "Burning Mouth Syndrome" experienced by the Desert Storm troops was actually Methanol poisoning from the Diet Coke they drank lots of, after being exposed to desert temperatures.
- Aspartame/Nutrasweet's 10% Methanol appears in the body quickly and is the same alcohol (wood alcohol also in lacquer thinner), that your mother correctly warned you could make you blind. Many skid-row alcoholics had major problems with this cheap but deadly form of alcohol.
- Aspartame/Nutrasweet's 40% Aspartic Acid is an "excitotoxin" in the brain and excites neurons to death, i.e. it kills brain cells and causes other nerve damage.
- Aspartame/Nutrasweet triggers Migraine Headaches This even happened to me!. The Usenet is filled with posts by people who have pinned their migraines down to aspartame/Nutrasweet consumption.
- Aspartame/Nutrasweet's breakdown products attack the bodies tissues and create Formaldehyde which builds up in the tissues forever. Remember the smelly, eye watering fumes from the frogs you dissected in school? They were preserved with Formaldehyde! Formaldehyde is thought to cause cancer. The American Bottlers Association did not want the FDA to approve Aspartame/Nutrasweet because of what the test report showed. But the FDA approved it anyway!
- Airline pilots stay away from Aspartame/Nutrasweet because they are well aware of the documented dangers.
- Aspartame/Nutrasweet also breaks down to diketopiperazine [DKP] which is proven to cause Brain Tumors! Brain Tumors used to be rare. Several of the rats in the original study formed brain tumors during their Aspartame/Nutrasweet exposure. The researchers surgically removed the tumors and returned the rats to the study and discounted the tumors.
i have recently started drinking diet coke and i want to know if it really can effect your health
diet coke
gracias por su informe. porque la FDA permite aun su uso?
I do notice that from whenever i wasnt drinking diet coke to now (when i am drinkinig it) my carbohydrate intake has severly increased
Diet coke tastes good but, I don't think it is good for you. All I drank for over a year was diet coke and now I have anemia, thyroid problems and my cholesterol is way too high.. you figure it out.
Diet coke is bad for you. I have read on other Diet Coke forums that peoeple have been having many symptoms because of drinking Diet coke, like, headaches, tumors, back pains. Unfortunately, its the aspratame thats contained in the Diet coke. I don't drink Diet Coke, but I am wondering if the Cocacola factory is putting Aspratame in regular coke.
Diet Coke is a slow poison, as with other "Diet" products.
I had been drinking it for years, and did not realize what it was doing to me very slowly. I drank at least 1 diet Coke a day for almost 18 years, and suffered panic attacks, anxiety attacks, speech problems, abdominal pains, and diarrhea.
As soon as I stopped drinking it, the problems went away.
That was all I needed to know to stop drinking it forever.
All i can say is yes diet coke ( asparttame ) is no good. I drank diet coke for 7 years and i did not have any problems or so i thought but boy was i ever wrong. Now i know just how wrong i was. I was 25 years old when i learned about my brain tumor and was told i would not make it to see age 26. Lucky me.Imagine trying to tell your kids (ages 5 and 8) that. One year later i had my first stroke and it took me a year and a half to learn how to walk only to have another one which took almost 2 years to learn to walk. Yes these srokes were caused by my tumors. But hey i am alive no thanks to diet coke.
