Aspartame, an ingredient in diet sodas, changes chemically under elevated temperatures and technically becomes poison
It can be bad enough without heat.....
Excerpted.......
"......The components of aspartame can lead to a number of health problems, as you have read. Side effects can occur gradually, can be immediate, or can be acute reactions. According to Lendon Smith, M.D. there is an enormous population suffering from side effects associated with aspartame, yet have no idea why drugs, supplements and herbs don’t relieve their symptoms. Then, there are users who don’t ‘appear’ to suffer immediate reactions at all. Even these individuals are susceptible to the long-term damage caused by excitatory amino acids, phenylalanine, methanol, and DKP."

I worked with a guy that had Gulf War Illness. When I knew him, I didn't know he had it. It was after he left that my boss told me. I felt sorry for the guy. Something was clearly wrong, and apparently it was only after his time in Iraq that he had come down with whatever it was that was sapping the life out of him.
