Default Aspartame in diet drinks and good reasons to quit soft drinks

I read an article once about a woman whose husband was an athlete. He wasn’t fat or overweight. He was a bodybuilder and played basketball too. And he only drank diet cola. In fact he drank a lot of them, kept them piled up in the back of his garage. He was healthy and did plenty of sports but still he died one day of a heart failure. All that because his soft drinks contained aspartame. You must have heard about it. It’s an artificial sweetener that is common in a lot of soft drinks and other products. Aspartame contains methanol, also known as wood alcohol, and has poisonous properties. Methanol is also a substitute for gasoline. Of course the companies using aspartame claim that the quantity of methanol present is not enough to be harmful. Except that guy died drinking their soda…you’re free to test it and see if you want to believe me or not…but I think I just keep off the soft drinks

dietpillskill, don't exaggerate about it and stop drinking the soft drinks because of this. but of course, it's your choice. i'll just explain why you shouldn't panic about it.

see this guy despite being an athlete, he was stupid. i apologise, i know he is dead and may his soul rest in peace but that does not change certain facts.

do you go piling a whole damn stock of diet cola just because you like drinking it and get kicks out of it? you don't go drinking cola like that, it's foolish, stupid. if you don't have enough brains to know what is right for you and not, what can the rest of us do? and like i say, too much of anything id not good for anyone!!!!!

I partly agree with Dietpillskill. I think that people should stop drinking diet drinks since it does no good. Diet soft drinks containing aspartame are not safe. Aspartame is 50% phenylalanine, 40% asparatic acid, and 10% methyl alcohol (wood alcohol). It breaks down into formaldehyde, and DKP (a tumor agent)

In BRIEF!

Aspartame is NOT a natural substance!
Aspartame is NOT a diet product!
Aspartame is NOT safe... for ANYONE!
Aspartame is NOT a food "additive", it is an UNREGULATED and UNSAFE DRUG!
Aspartame is even worse for DIABETICS!
Aspartame poisoning is cumulative...(it adds up!) Excess formaldehyde (+water) gets stored in the FAT!
Aspartame has 92 "official" side effects...FDA calls DEATH one of them!)
Aspartame MIMICS many diseases!
Aspartame TOXIC effects are... USUALLY MISS-DIAGNOSED!

Wow... That surprises me. I always had diet soft drink because I thought that it would not be harmful to my health, well that left me perplex. I think that it would be better to have a soft drink once than having diet drinks everyday. Thank for the info Dietpillskills.

No way that am going to test that! If a sportemen have got a heart failure with that, then what would happen to an overweight person, doing little exercises????
What about the non diet soft drinks, do they contain that also?
