Aspartame

[anthrax]

For those who use aspartame:

Have you encountered problems with aspartame (increasing apetite, feeling weak,.....) ?

Please:
no BS info like methanol, cancer, Alzheimer's Disease,.... and all the sugar (sucrose, HFS) industry propaganda

I've used it for years. Never had a problem. I think since lifters normally eat a pretty bland diet, it's a godsend.

So what's up Anthrax, you been having any of those symptoms?

 

[anthrax]

I am also using aspartame on a regular basis, without any problem ...

I just wanted to know others opinions and to listen for those who just believe any BS papers about aspartame

I remember, like your blood turning to acid and getting five different forms of cancer. I do love the classics.

There have been studies showing that it may act as an appetite depressant. In the past, I have used it while following low calorie diets and CKD's for this purpose and it seemed to be fairly effective....with no problems.

thanx Mr BMJ

What about saccharine and cyclamates ?
They have been suspected to be carcinogenic (though they have been "cleared" by the fda and declared GRAS - Generaly recognized as safe)

I agree Aspartame does kill the appetite. Someone told me once when i was really hungry and craving carbs to just take a small packet of Aspartame and eat it, it actually worked pretty good i can say. Killed desire for carbs and helped kill appetite a bit. I know also after a shake w/ aspartame i wont feel hungry for a while and have to force my 2nd shake in.

Many people who consume aspertame slowly develop a taste for sweeter sweets because apsertame is stronger than most natural sugars.
