Get rid of asparatame in all products in the United States. Increase cause of cancer, obesity, neurological issues, diabetes, etc
Imagine drinking one Diet Coke a day for 10 years, the amount of formaldehyde in your body would cause serious negative effects over the long term.
Aspartame can break down into its components — phenylalanine, aspartic acid, and methanol — when exposed to heat. This process can occur during storage in high temperatures, cooking, or digestion within the body. At typical body temperature (around 37°C or 98.6°F), aspartame can begin to degrade, although it does so gradually.
The main breakdown product of concern is methanol, which is then further metabolized into formaldehyde and formic acid. Aspartame is in most foods considered diet, sugar-free, light, all marketed to make you think that it’s healthy.
Not a fan of banning unless there is clear evidence of harm - which this policy maker does not cite. Also think that there are other more pressing issues which should be addressed first. And. Other solutions that should be tried before calling for outright bans.
This chemical nearly crippled me. When I stopped drinking it, I was able to recover eyesight and was relieved of crippling arthritis. It’s been 20 years that I’ve been healed from this poison.
The worst of the worst culprits include aspartame (found in Equal and NutraSweet), sucralose (found in Splenda), and Saccharin (found in Sweet 'N Low) With so many alternative natural sweeteners out there, why continue to feed us the worst?
100% agree with this. And I used to drink sodas with aspartame. I just recently quit after over 20 years of drinking them on a daily basis. I know that it is one of the reasons I am so sick. It has no proven health benefits only bad effects. Companies can use something that is non toxic. There are plenty of other options.
One thing that people may not realize is that both aspartame and sucralose, along with other artificial sweeteners, can sometimes cause increased urinary frequency in certain individuals. This effect varies, but some people find that artificial sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose, and acesulfame potassium can irritate the bladder or act as mild diuretics, leading to increased urination.
