artifical sweetner warning!!

[firem3]

I'm sure most people are aware of the dangers of aspartame and phenylalanine but there is always someone who hasn't heard yet so I'm providing this link for everyone to read. I say a big thanks to the FDA for being cowards and Mon-Satan for slowly killing people.

You can thank Donald Rumsfeld too, as he was the one that got it pushed t hrough after he rose to power.

I read a copy of a psuedo-health magazine from Wal-mart that someone dropped off at work a couple years ago. Don't recall the title.

It had an article that "debunked" all the warnings about artificial sweeteners. And in the interest of covering everything, it listed xylitol and stevia as alternatives but warned that they were NOT FDA tested or approved.

Like we should be trusting the FDA to tell us what's safe.

That magazine was full of stuff that I'm afraid would suck most people in. But that article stood out as the worst.

Sigh ...

Yep, and we all know Wal-Mart can be trusted to not post pro government lies.

Some of you probably know the answer, sorry if this is a thread drift. When it comes to Coke and Diet Coke, I know Diet Coke is bad for people who suffer from depression but HOW BAD is regular Coke?

High fructose corn syrup in regular sodas does a number on your liver, contributes to high triglycerides, lowers your immune system, etc...

I would rather have diet soda with equal than touch regular soda.

I always thought Diet was worse, but you are saying REGULAR Coke is worse??

How about skipping both?

That would be the idea situation, but I am hooked

Here is an interesting article on this topic

You could get those throwback sodas that use real sugar. Not great, but way better than hfcs.

I don't drink any pop, coffee, or tea. My DH is addicted to Coke! Every time he goes to the gas station he gets one of those HUGE fountain drinks! That is at least three times a week. I think he is getting some from the machines at work also. I am not sure though because I do not see the empty cans. He knows I do not like him drinking it so continuing to tell him is beating a dead horse. He also drinks at least 2 cups of coffee in the morning.
