If any of you drink diet soda I am not going to take it out of your hands but I will post the side effects of Aspartame (the artificial sweetener found in diet soda): "Aspartame accounts for over 75 percent of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA. Many of these reactions are very serious including seizures and death.(1) A few of the 90 different documented symptoms listed in the report as being caused by aspartame include: Headaches/migraines, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, depression, fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision problems, hearing loss, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain. According to researchers and physicians studying the adverse effects of aspartame, the following chronic illnesses can be triggered or worsened by ingesting of aspartame:(2) Brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, parkinson's disease, alzheimer's, mental retardation, lymphoma, birth defects, fibromyalgia, and diabetes." I bold weight gain because this is used in DIET soda. Something that claims to be better for you than regular. Also the FDA denied the use of aspartame in beverages and food 7 times! Now you say, "Hey well now they have diet sodas that contain Splenda, that doesn't have aspartame." And to you I say....WARNING!!! Splenda prides itself for being 98% pure. The other 2% is heavy metals and arsenic.

Apparently there's fermildahide (or how ever you spell it) in it! Ew! This is why I only drink regular plain old sprite. Atleast it has normal sugar in it (and if it doesn't then don't pop my bubble j/k) Plus, i guess, all those carmel colourings in other sodas cause kidney stones.... But yeah....I've always thought that diet sodas were bad...used to drink them...stopped because they didn't make me feel good...and now I know that they are bad! Just drink purified water. That's your safest route!
