Ugh. I love my Coke Zero. So much for the government keeping us safe. How long have they been telling us this trash is ok??

Bull.

"Natural Society" is not a reputable source.

Do what my wife did.

Run out, and don’t replenish the supply.

Same way I quit smoking.

Either I have the wrong idea of how addiction works; or the term gets misapplied— a lot; or neither of us was truly addicted to either substance (despite years of use and my negative physical reaction to the sudden cessation).

Stopped using artificial sweeteners not because they aren’t safe, but because they give me the munchies. Nothing wrong with good old sugar, IMHO.

Maybe you should switch to beer. My husband read that the early colonists were prohibited from drinking more than half a gallon for breakfast. Makes you wonder how the country got anywhere.

Donald Rumsfeld made his billions getting Aspartame approved by the FDA.

What a load of BS. Do people even realize how many products are made as a result of bacterial and fungal “waste”? Makes it sound more natural to me in fact.

Oh, the horror! Bacteria "waste" involved in the making, you say? You mean like cheese or beer? Feeds cancer? Like oxygen?

Glutens, taxoplasmosis, the list goes on and on.

Life causes death! Buy my book! I was right about the comet! Get 'em and see why!

Well, crap!!!

Is there anything that taste good that doesn’t cause cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or flatulence?

No?

OK, then. Check my tagline.

Diet soda makes my knees hurt. Seriously. I stopped drinking 3-4 cans a day and in just a few days my knees were pain free, dramatically. I dont know if it was the sweetener or the acid or some other ingredient but all I know is my knees feel 20 years younger almost overnight. Of course your mileage may vary but I am not joking, I feel great.

Try Tonic water or just plain Seltzer.

It's actually the Co2 that gives DC that throat clearing acidic bite, and seltzer has it in spades.

Our waste comes from bacterial waste. If “natural “ stuff is/was so good for you why don’t we see evidence of 400 year old cave men. I guarantee their lives were 100% natural AND organic.

Big Pharma has a lot to answer for but the REAL crooks out there are anyone that is required to slap a label on their latest,greatest break through product( blueberries seem to be the fruit of the year this year) proclaiming it to be a food and not a treatment.

It’s poison. The saddest thing is that for 20 or more years packaged food producers have shoved sweet taste down our throats rather than include evil fat.

Now we learn that healthy fats, from healthy animals or certain cold pressed plant oils like coconut and olive, are the secrets of health, brain and neurological functioning, and life.

Sugar over a small amount (for a non athlete not much carbohydrate is necessary) is poison to us. Cancer loves sugar. It changes our bodies from good fat burning machines to sugar burning machines with a host of aches and conditions. And fake sugar is poison period. It can’t possibly help you in any way, only hurt you. Years of drinking it means the end of your life probably won’t be fun as it causes so many neurodegenerative diseases.

Do-gooders trying to make us slim and healthy did the exact opposite.

I’m sure, for one evening somewhere over cocktails, welfare must have sounded like a great idea too.

This article is as biased as you can get. They are pushing their own warped agenda.

Some people may have a sensitivity to aspartame and get headaches, etc., but the vast majority of people have no problem consuming it.

As for addictive, I don't believe that either. I drink diet sodas in spurts, especially in the summer. Have never had any withdrawal in stopping suddenly.

Reminds me of a whacked-out woman that is married to my BIL. She believes that Splenda is the same as consuming DDT. lol
