I never thought of that, of course I don’t use artificial sweeteners as a general rule, but I never would have thought they would cause headaches.

Another thing that helps headaches is drinking lots of water.

Dehydration will give you a headache, especially after diarrhea, I have heard artificial sweeteners can cause diarrhea.

My wife and daughter both react poorly to artificial sweeteners.

ALL chewing gums, NOT just those listed as sugar free, contain artificial sweeteners. It’s on the label. Pay attention to Aspartame.

I can tell within 15 minutes if what I are has sucralose, xylitol, acesulfamine, or aspartame, as they all give me a headache. You don’t get dehydrated in 15 minutes.

With sucralose and acesulfamine, it’s a blinding, I cannot function at all kind of headache, take a cab home from work headache.

MSG just makes me a bit jittery.

I’ll stick with sugar, thanks anyway...

Nothing about the cancersugars is good for you. Go for the regular sugar or the raw sugar, and if those aren't available, just drink it black.
