Long Term Memory Loss Symptoms
More questions about aspartame, diet soda, etc.?
I am 15 years old and I was diagnosed with type one diabetes on X-mas day, 2006. Since then, I have drank (very) roughly 1/2 of a liter of diet soda a day. Everywhere I go on the internet it seems someone has a different opinion on aspartame. I realize most of you aren’t doctors or dietitians, however I’m just looking for some more opinion. Some people say they suffered migraines and memory loss, and after stopping the consumption of diet soda, their symptoms stopped. I, for one, have never felt any different now then I felt before I started drinking diet soda. Others say that the whole deal with aspartame being a poison is all a hoax.
I guess what I want to know is, what do you think of aspartame? Have you or friends/family suffered any sort of symptom which ceased after the exclusion of diet soda from the diet? Will I suffer long term effects (such as cancer, brain tumors) if I continue to drink as much diet soda as I do?
Thanks in advance.
Here’s the thing…I’ve had Type 1 for 24 years, and I’ve been drinking Diet Coke constantly since then. I used to have as many as 6-8 cans’ worth a day, now I’m down to 1 or 2 because I’m avoiding caffeine. If there was anything wrong with aspartame, I would be so dead by now. I have never heard of a documented case of someone getting ill from it, or a credible link to it’s use. So I think it’s as safe as anything else. There are a lot of paranoid statements out there like “Aspartame is also an ingredient in antifreeze” and stuff like that. Well, so is water! Lots of things have common ingredients, so that’s a bunch of nonsense.
Also, one answerer said that diet soda has very high sodium – it’s actually very low, 1 can only has 2% of your recommended daily intake. But it does have a lot of acid, which can damage tooth enamel and can cause stomach problems if you have an existing ulcer.
