Friend told me aspartame is baaaad.Even worst than sugar for your body.Is it true?

I now drink diet pepsi and always put sugar twin in my coffee, to make sure i dont drink sugar.


So is it bad for the health?
 
I was stupid and ate like half a bag of that sugar free/alternate sugar life savers and had the monster sh!ts for nearly an entire day. I mean I couldnt get off the tank cause I would probably have sh!t my pants.

Probably sucralose, not aspartame. Sucralose stays in your system, it never gets digested hence you never gain calories from it. Sort of what happens if you eat beans. ugh

Anyway most of the 'OMG ASPARTAME IS POISON' is bs. I think they found some extremely small number of rats (less than 0.5% I think) got cancer and that's about it. My mom gets the Berkeley Newsletter, I think that's where I read it, either that or Nutrition Action.

Aspartame can cause trouble for people who can't digest phenylalanine but that's a very rare disease.

Whether it causes cancer or not I have NO doubt that it's poisionous. Whenever I consume anything with aspartame I get almost an instant migrane. Doesn't happen with any other artificial sweetener. Still I stick to sugar only.

Me too. Sucralose makes me sick to my stomach, so I avoid artificial sweeteners completely.
