Diet coke...

[wesley90]

Aspartame is made up of two amino acids right...and the body can use amino acids for energy right...so will the body use the amino acids from aspartame or am I missing something somewhere?
Thanks.

good question... been drinking a lot of diet coke lately... I shouldn't but it tastes good...

I just have the feeling the body cannot use the aminos from Aspartame... just a hunch... educated guess, you may call it...

Kidney stones. Don't drink it.

Aspartame = almost 400 kcal/100g but you only use very little amount

100 g aspartame should be enough to sweeten my entire house!!!

the amino acids that are in it, are phenylalaine, aspartic acid, and wood poison...all neurotransmitters that can hae adverse effects on your health. and no they cant be used by your body.

Phenylalinine can be used by the body.. ask any Phenylketleneuric... diet coke will damn near kill them.

so the verdict is: Don't drink it??? or as with anything else: Moderation is key???
