Diet coke...

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...
 
Aspartame = almost 400 kcal/100g but you only use very little amount
 
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.
 
Of course you can drink it..........personally, I opt for that flavored o cal water (carbonated too) or crystal light but nothing wrong with d.coke...........
 
Coke is coming out with a diet coke flavored with Splenda rather than aspartame. That should make a difference in what people think.

Any idea when that's gonna hit the market?

Also, how long before they find something wrong with Splenda?
 
i would stay away from aspartame (just google aspartame and read)

but you can already get a diet soda with splenda: Diet RC Cola (it says splenda on the can if that helps) tastes pretty good

but even splenda has chlorine in it

so ..... ?

BTW, Table salt also has chlorine in it
 
yeah but you wont break down the sucralose molecule to extract the chlorine, theres no enzymes to process it

i dont like artificial sweetners anyway, doesnt splenda cause thymal atrophy?
 
my .02 is that the only thing diet in North America with Splenda is diet RITE. read all diet labels even that stuff we love crystal ight. If it is a diet drink all but rite has it in it. in the UK aspartame is illegal in all diet drinks, splenda is the alternative there though more expensive. Coca Cola North america is headed in the right direction.
 
Diet Rite as the previous poster suggested has splenda and tastes alot like coke. There are other flavors of Diet Rite too, like orange, lime and strawberry kiwi I think. Also, if you live in the south (i dont think its sold farther north) and like Big Red, Diet Big Red is made with splenda.

Yeah diet rite is good. I didn't know that bout Big Red, I never even thought to look.

I believe you are incorrect mate. I live in the UK and am sitting at my computer drinking a can of diet coke right now. On the label it says that it has aspartame and acesulfame K for sweeteners. So it seems clear that it is definately not illegal here. Unless I am misunderstanding what you are saying. If so, I apologise.

Wow! That has to be the most polite way I have ever heard anyone tell another that they are flat out wrong. I just found it extremely funny. Maybe those Brits aint all bad!!!!

Just messing with you guys. I do have a question. Is there something wrong with Crystal light and the Wal Mart brand of this product?
 
LOL@ "drinking diet coke while reading a thread about how bad diet coke is"

Anyway, if we are all so concerned about it, just drink water!!!, the ocassional can of coke will NOT kill you, cause you have to have conehead kids or turn you suddenly into a goatslayer freak...

Why do we find moderation so difficult to keep a hold of? life is not black and white people, but mostly gray... so drink your water and enjoy your diet coke once in a while.... together with your beer, your fried chicken, your burgers, your....ehhh, ok... some of those not.

If you eat/drink clean for 40 of your 42 weekly meals, no big deal.

LOL... Thanks. Trust me, we are not all bad. :)
 
God I wish I had a British accent....bastard

and you get to say mate.... :(

anyways, I drink like 2 cans of diet coke a day because it's the only way I can satisfy my sweet tooth without actually eating/drinking anything calorie-rich. So far, I'm doing pretty good...although I imagine all that crap in there isn't too good for you.

Well as I may be I will consult my sources so that they can consult their sorces for more information. As for you accent. even when I read your post i read it with an accent in my head. thanks for the truth. maybe it is just that diet soda are available with splenda? see if you can find any? here in the U S of A only diet Rite is made with Splenda
 
I seem to remember that when I was a child quite a few of the soda's I drank were indeed sweetened with Splenda. I could be wrong as this was many years ago but I can recall that they always made quite a point of it on the labelling. I'll be sure to keep an eye out. :)

As for my accent... Well it certainly helps with the ladies in foreign countries. And I guess saying "mate" is just second nature. Remember though; to me it is you who have the accents. I happen to find american accents on women extremely attractive! :p

I ordered a bottle of Yohimburn yesterday just to try it out. And since I have just moved house there was an issue with the address registered with my credit card. Anyway, I promtly recieved a phonecall from a very sexy sounding american lady. (perhaps Canadian, it is difficult for us to tell the difference as the accents sound so similar)

She was so nice to talk to that I just had to strike up a conversation completely unrelated to the reason she called. Some might call it flirting. Thanks to her accent, in my head she looked like Eva Longoria!

seems like if it isnt from one thing, youll probobly die from something else.

btw, diet hansens is also made from splenda, they have root beer, gingerale, black cherry, etc... tastes great.

Feel pretty bad for you in the nursing home. GordyR and my self are going to be in our homes with our mid 20's 30's maid washing our a s s. He will have an American girl and I will have a European honey. Enjoying every bit a few more years. Only becasue I stayed away from SODAS that don't do any good. So what im saying is, if you can't find a reason why it is healthy to eat something then stay away. PRO and CONS Find the good alternative.
 
The toxic soup called aspartame

Aspartame was never and cannot be proven to be safe. It is not and
cannot be a diet aid because the formaldehyde (from the breakdown of the
10% methanol) gets stored in the fat along with some water. The
National Soft Drink Association (NSDA) did a 30-page protest in the '80s
(Congressional Record, Senate S 5511, 5/7/85) that complained that
aspartame is unstable, and that it reduces the levels of serotonin (a
substance that gives that "full" feeling) so aspartame induces a craving
for carbohydrates.

L-Aspartyl-l-phenylalanine methyl ester, 98%, aspartame CAS #22839-47-0
(a.k.a. Equal, NutraSweet, Spoonful, Benevia, Equal Measure, etc.) is
composed of (at least) three things:

1.) aspartic acid, (40%) CAS # 56-84-8 C4H7NO4 (L-Aspartic acid)
2.) phenylalanine, (50%) CAS # 63-91-2 C9H11NO2 (L-Phenylalanine)
3.) methanol



Aspartame........The phenylalanine breaks down into diketopiperazine (DKP), a known tumor
agent, and is the reason FDA mandated a PKU warning label
"PHENYLKETONURICS: Contains phenylalanine". Diketopiperazine was the
major impediment to approval noted in the Searle "Helling" memo
(http://www.dorway.com/secrets.html).

The methanol (without Ethanol, the natural antidote) breaks down in-
solution (diet coke, spit, etc.) into formaldehyde. The human liver
also breaks down "free" methanol from any solution into formaldehyde.
The body has difficulty eliminating formaldehyde so it combines some of
it with water and stores it in the fat. Formaldehyde not stored in the
fat is further converted to formic acid (same thing as ant sting
poison).

(For proof that there is methanol, and that it converts to
formaldehyde and DOES get stored in the fat.. visit:
