Aspartame affects the Brain - hmm - a poem there - and not in a good way.
Better to use Stevia.
Google both - lots of info.
My spouse reads nutritional health letters probably 4 days a week, for years. Could says it’s a hobby. Says aspartame bad, Stevia better.
One can wean off sweetening all drinks.
I dilute organic ‘Honest Tea’ products with water. Almost half and half now. Suit yourself.
‘ Honest splash,’ sweetened with fruit juice, ‘Honest Tea,’ and ‘Honest Ade’ available at my 99cent Store! Sometimes Big Lots, and K-Mart.
In all of her readings, did she come across this information:
Aspartame is made up of three components. The Aspartame in a 12 oz. Diet Coke contains the following amounts of those three:
Phenylalanine - 90 mg
Aspartic Acid - 72 mg
Methanol ------ 18 mg
A 3 oz. piece of grilled chicken, eaten with a cup of tomato juice, contains the following:
Phenylalanine - 1,060 mg
Aspartic Acid - 2,400 mg
Methanol ------ 80 mg
An average sized banana contains the following amounts of the three:
Phenylalanine - 60 mg.
Aspartic Acid - 146 mg.
Methanol - 21 mg.
Can your spouse explain why these three things are dangerous when consumed in a Diet Coke, but not in cooked chicken, tomato juice (or apple juice or wine, or beer) or in a banana?
Doesn't make much sense, does it?
