Your penis hates aspartame

Hey, diet soda drinkers, read it and weep…

http://www.rens … 3/nutralimp.htm

I noticed that they seem to be linking to “magnetic sleep pads” and “emf protection” stuff. Looks like a tin foil hat kind of website.

Rense.com is definitely a fringe site: however, just because it’s fringe doesn’t mean everything on it is suspect. Perhaps this warrants further exploration… ?

That shit kills your brain as well. It’s a neurotoxin.

My personal guess in this case is that if we drink a huge amount of aspartame loaded drinks, it’s like anything we can overdo, including Mom’s green string beans, Velveta cheese, and chow mein noodle casserole. In that case, it’s about the Velveta. Eat enough of it and although you may still get a hard-on, you won’t see the erection for the fat build-up blocking your view.

I found lots of sites about the toxic effects of aspartame, and the aspartame site says they’re all overblown or inaccurate.

I’m not swayed much one way or the other, but I’m basically suspicious of foods products that can’t be found in nature, or at least one simple processing step away from it.

I’m requoting this from memory, but the study I read had rats consuming inordinate amounts of the stuff before getting tumors- a human would’ve had to have consumed a bathtubful within a short period in order to parallel it.

Any biochemists out there? I recall the word phenylketeneuronic or something like that as the type of toxin it was deemed to be…

I’m sure there is some truth in all the dangers you hear about aspartame, however I’m wondering if it could be any worse than sugar, especially for those of us who are sugarholics. It’s funny for years of battling weight loss, I’ve heard warnings about cancer and leaky heart valves, and none of those have stopped my use of the harmful substances, but now you have my attention. So the two things that have helped this ex-butterball whittle down the fat-pad effect the old wanger negatively, Aspartame and efedra. That’s just GREAT!

My stomach can’t handle aspartame. Splenda, aka sucralose, doesn’t bother me at all.

What’s even more funny is that I used to work for the company that invented aspartame… MONSANTO.

I thought I lost an inch because I stopped PE, but it’s really because of all the diet Pepsi I guzzle :head:

By the way, I posted this just as an FYI. I really don’t know what to believe.

My girlfriend’s family eats/drinks anything that you can get in a diet version.

Soft drinks, cordial, milk, cheese… everything.

I eat full fat, all the time.

And guess what? I am in better shape than anybody in her family, simply because I exercise instead of hoping that drinking something that has “diet” slapped across it will keep me healthy. It will do the opposite, especially with that attitude.

You guys will end up with dead brains, non-functioning dicks, and more synthetic crap coursing through your veins than Kryten.

Typical lazy “quick fix” attitude spawned this crap. Do you think a lot of hard work went into designing and testing it??

I agree. Not to mention that I generally don’t like the taste of anything that is “synthesized.” Perhaps this is my body’s way of telling me that it is not healthy for me.

Peace,

There have been studies that people who drink diet soda’s are in fact fatter than people who don’t. One aspect of aspartame that doesn’t get a lot of play is that is causes insulin release (oversecretion) which is the reason why people should avoid sugar in the first place. However, the insulin release from aspartame often doesn’t have nutrients to operate on. The result is hunger which results in craving blood sugar-raising foods, which the insulin released operates on and turns into body fat. So even if you do or don’t buy into the “poison” aspects, it sure ain’t a “diet aid” It’s unnatural and best left alone, yes, like velveeta, and saccharrine. Try stevia.
