I just received an e-mail coming from my friend giving me an information that I shouldn't drink diet sodas which is always a part of my day to day living. drinking diet sodas everyday... She said that diet sodas contains an ASPARTAME marketed as Sugar Free, Nutra sweet,Equal and Spoonful which eventually converts to Formaldehyde and then to formic acid,When Aspartame exceeds in temperature of 86 degrees F the wood alcohol in aspartame converts to Formaldehyde which in turn causes metabolic acidosis Formic acid is found in the sting of fire ants. The methanol toxicity mimics, among other conditions such as multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. Many people were being diagnosed in error and although multiple sclerosis may not cause death but the Methanol toxicity can lead to death.
Upon reading my friend's e-mail that diet sodas has this Aspartame or commonly known sugar free, artificial sweeteners. I was shocked and feel scared coz I always drink diet sodas. I promised not to drink diet sodas again instead, I'll drink the normal sodas I used to drink before.I even searched that Aspartame in Google and she was really right about it... What about you mylotters would you still drink such Diet sodas?

You're most welcome lakota... upon reading my friend's email for me, the very first thing I did was to share this e-mail to my friends and family to warn them about this and I decided to share this also to all mylotters so in my own small way I could also warn them. It may or may not be true but what is important I guess is shared this info.

Many people drink carbonated drinks in Nanning,Guangxi,China.Such as Coke,Sprite,Farta and so on.In Nanning,McDonald's,KFC,and De Keshi won the children's favorite.My daughter would like to go to McDonald's.Called on a French fries and a cup of cola,and an ice cream.Although we all know that too much to drink carbonated drinks on the human body is not good,but many people they can not resist the temptation.This is because they are really delicious.

Hi there amzthienne
I have never been a one to drink diet soda anyway unless I was really serious about losing weight. I don't really like the tast of the artificial sweetners they use in diet soda so I have never really bothered drinking them.

I drink diet drinks pretty much every day so i hope that this is not true, but to be honest I would not be that suprised if it was. I mean we do things like smoke that we know shorten our lives, I guess diet drinks could possibly become the next thing that we find out that is bad for us.

its false.. well as far as we can tell.. lol.. the reason i say that is because so many people have weird side affects and i know with me i hallucinate on it (no joke.. its like i took lsd) so if it can cause that in me it cant be so innocent!! but i dont believe it causes all the above mentioned but a lot of people think so.. if it does i dont think we will ever know because i think they will cover it up good enough sadly..

I don't drink diet sodas, because they just taste like crap to me. I would've never thought of the fact that was a little "thing" that you just mentioned that would be very harmful to other people. Now I do know that drinking alot of sodas is not good for you, but yea, I just don't like diet sodas and i donno -_-;

There is only one healthy drink as far as I'm concerned, that we should drink every day, and that is: WATER! All the rest are: PURE JUNK!

You're right. Diet sodas are not safe for one's health. Aspartame is the silent killer behind the promises of these diet sodas that they are "sugar free". It is even known to cause cancer aside from the disease conditions that you have already mentioned. Be grateful that you discovered this early. There are lots of drinks out there that are beneficial to your health. Try natural fruit juices and trust me, nothings beats the power of WATER.
