Aspartame

Aspartame is a chemical reaction of two hazardous chemicals. All chemical reactions can be driven in reverse to at least a small extent. How much it can be reversed depends on where the equilibrium state lies at the given temperature. A long time at elevated temperature can reverse aspartame back to the hazardous chemicals but only in very small quantities because the equilibrium is far towards the aspartame side of the reaction. While aspartame itself is safe, these chemicals aren't. Thus, if you eat nothing but aspartame for your whole life - aspartame which has been exposed to elevated temperatures for a very long time - you might have a very slight increased risk of health problems.

Of course, no one eats just aspartame, thus you are safe.

Uh oh... :Q

"Uh yeah occifer, it's . . . aspartame. Yeah, aspartame!"

look up xylitol. that's an artificial sweetener that is tops in my book.

I love xylitol. I think we were meant to be together. Give me your # so I can call you 3 times in 2 days and then post a topic on ATOT about how women hate me for some reason.




oh, and go to www.aspartamekills.com

:laugh:

wanna start a company that makes xylitol sweetened soda? it's expensive stuff though so i think that's why no one is taking it on.
i'd pay more for it though. would you?

I DEFINETLY would pay more...I love my xylitol gum..it rocks my socks. just like you

Is oxygen bad for you in large quantities?

This is the type of crap only an idiot would say.

Quoted for stupidity.

Yes I believe it is dangerous for personal and confidential reasons that I care not to discuss on the internet. And, I encourage everyone to cut down on their intake. That is not to say I completely avoid it, but I would never add it to something that did not already contain it, that goes for splenda also (coffee etc.).

Fear mongering is fun, huh?

I never toutch the stuff if possible. I only use real sugar and nothing else. Of course, I'm 5'7"+, 125lbs, 14 years old, and no one in my family is fat.

For the sake of not getting in an arguement with a member I respect I will ignore your comment as I have reason to follow my opinion.

All I know is it gives me SEVERE MIGRANES so I stay away from it. :|

Posting warnings of harm without giving an explanation and more importantly, valid proof IS fear mongering.

I appreciate your respect. I really do, but come on... Did you think about that post before you hit the button?

Ok, it's really strange that this thread came up because I watched a 1 1/2 hour video on Google Video last night about this stuff that makes me want to avoid it forever.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7108137323833021886&q=aspartame

After I watched that I did a few searches and almost all of the pages I found were talking about how dangerous it is. Of course, those sites may just have the right ranking with Google to be at the top, I dunno. I'm certainly no scientist, but something doesn't feel "right" with me when I ingest it.

Ladies and gentlemen, what we have here is a perfect example of belief by popular opinion and hysteria. This is how a lie, no matter how wrong, can be believed if told often enough.

Mullet, just because the majority of pages on Google claim it's bad, does not make it so.

Gosh I don't know why people think it is so bad. The only difference from sugar is an alternate molecular structure. The rats would have died way faster had they injected them with the same amount of sugar. Aspartame/Saacharine/Splenda....they're all better for you. Far better than having blood insulin spikes from sugar (even just drinking a can of coke).

Um, you're thinking of Splenda.

 

[JohnCU]

i dunno, i tend to stay away from it because i don't like the taste all that great and i've read about sugar substitutes making you more hungry because your brain is tricked into thinking you are eating something sweet or something, not sure how it works.

also, one of the chemical formulas (maybe splenda?) said it had chlorine in it, but then i remembered NaCl and its usefulness...
