sweet poison

[R.O.L.A.N.D]

Do you drink diet soda? Do you use artificial sweeteners (equal, spoonful, nutrasweet)? If so you may want to to look at this page. The story told at the bottom of the forum is incredible. What exactly is this s**t they are feeding us? I'd like to know what you all think of it.

my dad majored in Food Science and basically worked on R&D teams all over the US and has had the chance to do research on many different foods and stuff like that because he had to make sure that it was ok to bring to certain areas, for example he was a big part of the research team that supported the first dog sled team to cross the entire continent of antarctica. ive asked him on countless occasions if diet is ok and he just laughed and said its just peoples basic paranoia. will it help you loose wieght? or is it more or less healthy then regular pop? no, but its not gonna kill you, at any rate. i mean shit nall my dad drinks is diet. and hes one of the healthier people i know.

aspartame kills or more like does damage if you take it in large quantities; also it is not like they overdo the aspartame on diet soda like they did back then; i had to do a research paper at school on this. There are so many pro/cons on this it is insane, also the whole process that got aspartame accepted by the FDA was also a joke.

I drink artificial sweeteners. For baking, cooking etc, I use Splenda. In my coffee I'll use Sweet&Low.

 

I drink Diet sodas, Crystal Light and Sugar-free versions of Rockstar and Red Bull. I use Smuckers Sugar free breakfast syrup on my pancakes

 

I'm diabetic though, so sugar will kill me long before I'd get any sort of cancer for artificial sweetener. The risks of getting cancer or dying from artificial sweeteners are insanely remote.

 

Also, I think there's more dangerous things to worry about in our food and drinks.

Honestly mostly everything we eat is bad. COming back to diet soda you ever put a rusted nail in diet soda? It dissovles very quickly. IMagine what it does to your body? All sodas are bad. The ingrediants in Nachos, oreos etc are killers. Milk? Read up on milk and see how bad it is for you. I am not talking about straight from a cow.

 

If you made food naturally how long would it stay fresh? Think about cans of soup, meat, things that are made to stay LONGER periods of time. Its common sense but ofcourse a lot of people don't understand how bad effect it is. At my pharmacy I know kids that are 8-9-10 on narcotics, diabetic medication, anxiety drugs.. the list goes on.

Thats not true. A lot of people use sweeten low and equal because they find it healthier then regular sugar.. majority of americans do not know the bad effects of the milk you get from these plants. Again Im not talking about pure milk that you get from cows.. boil it and drink it. http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/63483 People are just not educated enough on this kind of stuff same thing with other foods and drinks.. do some research the answers are all on the internet. Don't take it from a pharmacist though.
