No Aspartame Week - outcome

I always aim to be 100% honest, and sometimes to be as helpful as i can i need tell you EVERYTHING. - so one problem i always seemed to have was going to the toilet ALL THE TIME it was like my bladder got twice as small?! however, the week i have given up ALL sweeteners that has stopped, so have the headaches i always ignored, the eye pain, the bloated stomach, flatulence (lol) ringing in my ears, earache, tiredness, aches in my muscles.....Isn't that scary?! all of these thing have vanished within ONE WEEK of giving up aspartame, i looked up the symptoms of aspartame poisoning and i had all of the short term ones, and if they were real then why not the long term ones? such as memory loss, blindness, and cancer. How this product is still legal i have no idea, i literally feel like a new person, something really should be done to tackle this, we are poisoning ourselves without realizing it, i highly suggest you give up the diet coke, and if you must have a low calorie sweetener try truvia, its a sweetener made from the all natural ingredient stevia,
I cannot express how dangerous i think aspartame actually is, if you don't believe me just try avoiding it for a day or 2, especially if your an avid user you will notice an extreme difference

That's really creepy! I'm glad you can feel so much better now. (:
I personally don't use any artificial sweeteners and I avoid sugar. To sweeten things, I try to use natural ways like honey, mango or banana puree or something like this. Maple syrup or good sugars such as palm sugar and other unrefined sugars would do too, but they're too expensive for me.
Of course, I still eat sugar somehow, because it's in my loved dark chocolate and (a little)even in dark bread and in other foods, but I don't really eat cakes and sweets full of sugars, only a little if I have to. (;
I just like to give my body the best things possible, doesn't matter how many calories it is - I'd eat whole salmon instead of a cake slice.
Anyway I'm not sure where I wanted to get with the story, but I'm really happy that you made the decision to avoid artificial sweetners since they are even much worse then refined sugar. Well done hon! :)

Hello :) i have also heard that artificial sweeteners make you crave sweet things more, and i have found that i crave things like chocolate less!
That has been my ultimate motto for gaining back up again, giving my body what it needs which is LOTS of calories but from good nutritious foods, i think a lot of people underestimate the value of vitamins! haha - p.s. i have put maple syrup in my latte before, works i swear!! :P xxx
