Health: Say No to Aspertame
Selection of adverse effects from short-term and/or long-Term use of Aspertame (found in all diet sodas and most packaged "food".

Note: It often takes at least sixty days without *any* aspartame or nutrasweet to see a significant improvement. Improvement in health is also often accompanied by weight loss. Check all labels very carefully (including vitamins and pharmaceuticals). Look for the word "aspartame" on the label and avoid it. (Also, it is a good idea to avoid "acesulfame-k" or "sunette.") Finally, avoid getting nutrition information from junk food industry PR organizations such as IFIC or organizations that accept large sums of money from the junk and chemical food industry such as the American Dietetic Association.

death

I've been off of diet soda for about 2 weeks now. In fact, I was raised drinking diet coke almost my entire life because my parents were big consumers of this poison. The biggest change I've noticed so far has been mental clarity, more positivity (the sweetener was causing depression!), and less cravings for sugary foods. It was very difficult the first week but I promise you will never ever want to go back. I've been drinking a lot of herbal teas instead which are delicious and healthy! Good luck to any diet soda drinkers out there, you can do it!
