SODA- Lets start a thread list (ADD to it)

I posted this to the SBD board why let my hard work go to waste!

For some reason Aspartame spikes insulin levels and makes you crave sugar
even more. Thats why Atkins doesnt recommend it.
Aspartame is on the US Governments list of Chemical Warfare agents
"Aspartame is an rDNA derivative, a combination of two amino acids (long
supplied by a pair of Maryland biotechnology firms: Genex Corp. of Rockville
and Purification Engineering in Baltimore.)3 The Pentagon once listed it in
an inventory of prospective biochemical warfare weapons submitted to
Congress.4 "

Check out your "store brand" "sparkling water" selection. At
Hannaford, for instance, these are sweetened with sucralose and
acesulfame-K.

Well, I don't know why I'm even bothering, since this misinformation has
circulated for years. But it is indeed information.

Over 6000 web sites mention aspartame, with many hundreds alleging aspartame to
be the cause of multiple sclerosis, lupus erythematosis, Gulf War Syndrome,
chronic fatigue syndrome, brain tumours, and diabetes mellitus, among many
others. Virtually all of the information offered is anecdotal, from anonymous
sources, known fear-mongers, and is scientifically implausible.

Aspartame, a dipeptide composed of phenylalanine and aspartic acid linked by a
methyl ester bond, is not absorbed, and is completely hydrolysed in the
intestine to yield the two constituent amino acids and free methanol. Opponents
of aspartame suggest that the phenylalanine and methanol so released are
dangerous. In particular, they assert that methanol can be converted to
formaldehyde and then to formic acid, and thus cause metabolic acidosis and
neurotoxicity.

Although a 330 ml can of aspartame-sweetened soft drink will yield about 20 mg
methanol, an equivalent volume of fruit juice produces 40 mg methanol, and an
alcoholic beverage about 60-100 mg. The yield of phenylalanine is about 100 mg
for a can of diet soft drink, compared with 300 mg for an egg, 500 mg for a
glass of milk, and 900 mg for a large hamburger. Thus, the amount of
phenylalanine or methanol ingested from consumption of aspartame is trivial,
compared with other dietary sources. Clinical studies have shown no evidence of
toxic effects and no increase in plasma concentrations of methanol, formic
acid, or phenylalanine with daily consumption of 50 mg/kg aspartame (equivalent
to 17 cans of diet soft drink daily for a 70 kg adult).

The anti aspartame campaign purports to offer an explanation for illnesses that
are prominent in the public eye. By targeting a manufactured chemical agent,
and combining this with pseudo-science and selective reporting, the campaign
makes complex issues deceptively simple. Sensational web site names (eg,
aspartamekills.com) grab the browser's attention and this misinformation is
also widely disseminated via chat groups and chain e-mail.

People consult the internet about medical issues for various reasons and many
users regard online sources as being authoritative and valid. The medical
profession has a role in teaching our patients to be discriminating consumers
of the information offered there. In other words, don't believe everything you
read on the 'net.

It doesn't seem to bother me that way. However, I always pick splenda stuff
when I have a choice.
