Aspartame is way worse for you than sugar, lets see here, drink a huge syrupy can of empty calories, or fuck up your brain with a syrupy can of fake sugar with less calories. Either way you are rotting your bones from the inside out. But hey if your really going to fall for the whole diet can of crap thing, then be my guest.

the toxic compounds that can be found during the metabolism of aspartame would have to be below the certain level that would cause harm to people. considering aspartame is one of the most studied of all food additives, if aspartame really rots your bones from the inside out, don't you think researchers would say so and there would probably be some massive suing going on?

other than if you had phenylketonuria (meaning you can't break down phenylalanine which is part of aspartame), it is pretty safe.

but hey, if you wanna believe whatever you hear from a friend of a friend of a friend, then by my guest.

Aspartame is not what rots your bones from the inside out, any type of pop in general does, it attacks the calcium in your bones and is one of the causes of osteoporosis. So thank you for your input Bill Nye. And I don't have dumbass friends so they wouldn't tell me stupid shit.

sorry for misreading your post, but I doubt they've actually been able to prove that any ingredient or coke itself is one CAUSE of osteoporosis. it seems to be a pretty controversial topic and all the research I've seen are only correlation, which means that it might not be the coke or the acids that's the culprit.

Actually there has been research done, and a huge amount of the north american population has bone problems because they consume more fizzy beverages than milk or water these days. Its disgusting. And nowhere did I say its the ONE cause.

a lot of research doesn't mean that they've been able to show CAUSATIONAL evidence as opposed to CORRELATIONAL evidence. and all I'm saying is that all the research that I've personally seen are correlational, meaning there could be a bunch of other variables that can lead to osteoporosis (ie. not the pop or the acids in itself).

I too, agree it's disgusting (I don't drink coke or pop in general either), and no where did I say that you were implying that it was THE one cause... only one TYPE of cause. :)

As long as we agree that pop is a disgusting substance to be putting in your body.

Aspartame is probably the funniest thing I've ever seen anybody get concerned about.

I've been drinking Diet Pepsi my entire life just because it's what my Dad drinks and as such has been what's in the fridge.

One day I get a diet pepsi and say something along the lines of "Mmmm... Aspartame" and suddenly the person I'm with has this overtly concerned look on her face like "That's really really bad for you ya know?" and worried like I'm going to die because I drink diet pepsi.

*sigh*

What is it about people that makes them lose all conscious thought of at all just living life and makes them scared to do anything just because some statistic says it might cause cancer?

Here's a clue: Oxygen is probably the number one leading cause of death since every person who breathes dies.

im trying to stay away from aspartame as well.

but its hard.

i love diet pepsi...and its not just cause it has like no calories or whatever, but because of the taste.

its really hard.


although for all of you yogurt lovers...try the new "source" yogurt...it has NO aspartame...and it has very very little calories and no fat and its SO UNBELIEVABLY good.
its by far the best tasting yogurt i've ever had.
