I have hypeer tension problems when I drink diet soda, sometimes it makes me feel paranoid, I notice obsessive compulsive feelings, and it changes my sleep cycles.

I can go weeks and months without drinking diet soda, but when I fall off the wagon it’s noticeable how it effects my mood, sleeping and eating habits.

I’m Idaho

I only use it as mix in my whiskey….guess i’ll have to start drinking it straight up now.

Could it be because it metabolizes to wood alcohol and causes brain edema?

Just a thought. (I’m talking about aspartame in particular)

Holy prematurely alarmist story batman. A single study with such a small test group in an overly specific geographic area shows that participants has less than a 50/50 chance of having a higher risk for these diseases with no real link to the studied catalyst and other factors that could explain the occurence? Hmmm…me thinks that the people behind this article should encourage the same researchers to do a study on whether flipping a coin regularly will increase your chances of heart disease and stroke. I have the feeling they may discover yet another extremely risky activity…lol

I have been sounding the warning with my friends for years. Aspartame is very harmful to our bodies and will create medical maladies that doctors will mis-diagnose as MS, Lupus, Fibromialgia and others. Diet pop drinkers do not want to hear this but I offer them a simple test: stop drinking diet pop for just one month and if you do not feel better at the end of that month then go back to your pop. Not one that has taken my challenge has gone back to diet pop. Mysterious backaches go away.

I quit a month ago, and notice I can run faster and jump higher! Also, I no longer need my prosthetic limbs!

If makers go back to using sugar rather than corn syrup in the regular soda, I’ll consider dropping the diet version. As it is now, there are more concerns with corn syrup than one can of diet pop each day…

Soda used to be a special treat when I was a kid. Now folks drink it like water, and lo and behold!! health problems, obesity, etc. how about we act like adults and show a little self control?? Just because it’s there does not mean you have to drink it, even if everyone on tv and movies and commercials is doing so. Advertising worked great for soda makers, too great, and now we are less healthy than ever.

this is Minnesota so It’s called POP, what the heck is soda?

Everything in moderation!

What they fail to mention in this study is the other risk factors that these individuals may have. Were they overweight? That increases the chance of heart disease, too. And I bet a lot of them are. Are they smokers? Have high blood pressure? Have a family history of heart disease? This strikes me as alarmist. I’ll keep drinking my diet soda until more definitive proof comes along. I’ve lost 20 pounds in the past few months by switching to diet!

I don’t drink diet soda because I get severe migraines due to the aspartamine. I’ll just stick with my full sugar (or corn syrup) coca cola.

We are looking to also create a page like this for our dieting website. Can anyone help?

Why is it that news reports never seem to actually name the study but just call it “a new study?” Even the “Harvard doctor behind the study…” isn’t named. This makes it impossible to search, locate, and read the actual study, how it was conducted, controls, etc.

This base was so align. Kids today are imbibing all these strength drinks and exploit to much alkaloid in their scheme and it is not moral for them. I believe it starts with the parents and they should be solon aware of what their children are uptake. I enjoyed this position thanks for intercourse.
