I received an e-mail from a friend about the dangers of the use of a sweetener substance called Aspartame which is used in soft diet drinks.
It is just scary.
As I stopped drinking any soft drinks over the past few years (only mineral water and holy water (beer), I thought I would bring your attention to this dangerous substance.
Just Google the word Aspartame and read the many results.
Here is just one of many

Look after your health.
 
Personally i would alway check out snopes when i read these stories!
 
It´s a disaster. Never used it and never will.:-Nooo
 
I only drink water, clean white spirits such as Vodka, Tequilla and Schnaps, beer and coffee (and chicken soup). Anyone who drinks those plastic drinks, especially the diet ones needs to accept that they are extremely unhealthy :)
 
Aspartame's one of the reasons I hate sugar-free "Diet" drinks, because for one, when I was younger it made me seriously hyperactive, and now, it gives me the 5h1ts, so I prefer to avoid it wherever possible, and I know that it's in a drink simply by the taste, that false synthetic sweetness, horrible, I don't know why people drink the stuff... :confused:

But I have to admit, I do drink a certain leading brand cola a lot, but I always choose the sugared variety, never the Diet cr*p... :cool:
 
A regular coca cola is ok, but as you said, the diet stuff has a plastic taste that I don't like
 
It's not just in drinks; check out sugar free chewing gum.

It's in a lot of sweet sugar free things, the most common one being them sweetener tabs for your cup of tea, horrid things indeed!!! And to think, when I was younger I liked eating them on their own, cos they made everything taste sweet... :eek:

Give me real sugar any day (especially that Billingtons brand unrefined stuff, I like that a lot!!!)... :D
 
Lots of yoghurt have it in as well.
