Aspartame & Caffeine
I'm new to this and reading the Atkins New Diet Revolution book which
suggests avoiding aspartame and caffeine -- slows weight loss. All the diet sodas I've checked so far are sweetened with aspartame -- likewise, diet jello. Does anyone have any experience with this -- does it really hamper weight-loss. Can you suggest aspartame-free products. Thanks for the help. |

Diet Rite, and it's yummy with Splenda and multiple flavors.

Diet Rite, Diet RC, Wais****chers, diet Hansens, diet Crush, diet Clearly Canadian, Cascadia, Veryfine Fruit-2o, and the Crystal Lite in bottles (Crystal Lite powder still has aspartame). There's no non-aspartame jello mix available in grocery stores, but you can make it with unsweetened Kool-aid, Splenda and gelatin. If you can find them, the sugarfree Jolly Rancher jello cups don't have aspartame. Some people have no problem with aspartame, and some people have no problems with caffeine, so it's a "your body, your experiment" sort of deal. Both were considered okay in some of the earlier versions of Atkins' book. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |

Aspartame & Caffeine
The biggest problem with aspartame is that it is a neurotoxin. I have had
some very bad experiences with it - i.e. severe anxiety, panic attacks etc. Splenda is 'supposedly' an alternative, however there's been not alot of research on it's toxicity and negative effects, so I'd be cautious with that as well. I know, why does it have to be so damn difficult. DC "BridgetB" wrote in message y.com...

I enjoy making Kool Aid with Plenda instead of sugar. Andi 256/233/175 LC since 7/19/03 |

Uses Sacralose (as Atkins recommends) Has chromium, is high in Vitamin C. Most delicious diet drink I've ever tasted too! I get mine at the local Sam's Club. Price is $6.86 for a dozen 20oz bottles in 4 flavors. URL is "www.slim-lite.com" Jerome Bigge Member, Muskegon Astronomical Society Author of the "Warlady" & "Wartime" series.
