Need that to wake up. Rest of the day - fake coffee (decaff). If I have proper coffee all day I bounce off the walls.<br /><br />Aspartame - same, I'm a diet coke person.

It's by Elaine Hollingsworth and it is packed with facts and research. It covers many things including aspartame and soy (boo, hiss). You should get yourself a copy and then start picking things to take out of your day to day life. sigh...Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652957.post-19504872162765360982011-09-27T13:28:28.665-07:002011-09-27T13:28:28.665-07:00I have learned the hard way that I just can't ...I have learned the hard way that I just can't tolerate artificial sweeteners much at all. If I have a diet drink or even more than one piece of Extra gum, within a few hours I have a stiff neck, numbness down the arm, and a raging headache. Which bites because I love Sonic's diet Cherry Limeades AND I love Extra's Polar Ice.

Come Monday, my right arm always hurt. I dropped drinking diet soda. Now I've dropped drinking soda altogether but I really missed the fizz. Sometimes it's just refreshing. I bought club soda. If I want it to taste, I use half fruit juice and half club soda.

Granted he's been using the Mio water flavorers, which have artificial sweetener, but I'm hoping he's using less of that per drink then he gets with soda. It's been a slow battle of introing him to new stuff. But I'm getting him there.

I've been reading bad things about artificial sweeteners (even Spl*nda) and I am considering giving up all of it.kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652957.post-81316124609353321832011-09-26T15:44:58.025-07:002011-09-26T15:44:58.025-07:00For me it is giving up caffeine that hurts.

The tinfoil hat story of how aspartame passed the FDA is scary enough, if you get into conspiracy theory and the appearance of bribery. Some airlines won't let their pilots fly and drink aspartame-laden drinks. There's a tale of an office that offered free Diet Coke, and the entire office started to show MS symptoms that "jenianddeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05532627332721730473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652957.post-50574150998971606952011-09-26T14:01:54.185-07:002011-09-26T14:01:54.185-07:00Have you tried flavored seltzer?
