I know from personal experience that Aspertame cause depression.

Maybe not for everyone, but certainly for me.

Neurotoxins do tend to bum a body out.

The Mountain Dew / methamphetamine association is a terrible thing.

I know from personal experience that Aspertame cause depression.

If so, then bananas also cause depression. But by all means, don't ever eat grilled chicken with a glass of red wine, apple juice, tomato juice, or orange juice. You could become suicidal.

Laughing on the outside...
Crying on the inside.

"Our research suggests that cutting out or down on sweetened diet drinks or replacing them with unsweetened coffee may naturally help lower your depression risk," Honglei Chen, who led the study, said in a statement.

It doesn't suggest a cause and effect at all. It could be that depressed people tend to drink more diet sodas because they are depressed about being overweight.

Interesting, but I was being treated with MAOI long before aspartame came on the scene. Maybe switch to splenda for a while just to see what other psychological maladies it can cause lol.

I cut back on sodas some time ago, and haven’t drunk any for quite a long time.

I’m pretty sure that aspertame is bad for you, and so is high fructose corn syrup. Sugar less so, but you can’t get sodas with sugar, at least not in these parts.

I drink a cup of coffee after all three meals. For a while, I switched to tea, but I’m persuaded that reasonable amounts of coffee are good for you, and it doesn’t seem to keep me from sleeping at night.

The traitors in DC make me a whole hell of a lot more depressed than a whole truckload of Diet Coke ever could!

[CommieCutter]

It didn’t give me depression but it made me have body aches from my feet to my head. It was bizarre. Almost any place that was an old injury seemed to weaken easy and be tight or sore. But once I stopped drinking the stuff the pains went away.

NIH “studies” are what depresses the hell out of me.

[The Duke]

I don’t know about the depression aspect, but I gave up my diet soda addiction three weeks ago and in favor of green tea and good ol’ H2O and haven’t looked back! :)

[SeaHawkFan]

Based on personal knowledge, I can assure every man that drinking copious amounts of Diet Coke does not adversely affect sexual performance in at least one male who is almost 60.

[Persevero]

What if you drink both? (I do)

[mowowie]

I find flavored Polar seltzer water to be just fine.
I don’t drink any of this other crap anymore.

[gattaca]

gives me a headache

[dennisw]

It gets me depressed just watching idiots drink that stuff. Children and teens should definitely not be drinking that crud
