Coke Zero Aspartame sweetner bad?

Question

Who says this garbage...Coke Zero is the best diet drink I have ever tasted. Look at my e-mail address and my Avator. As for artificial sweetner in Coke Zero, who cares. Tastes great!!!!!

Answer 1

Agree with you!!!!!

Answer 2

I was drinking a ton of diet coke for awhile when my mom died in 2005. It kept me pumped for all the work I had to do, but fairly quickly I found I was losing my memory. For example, I would look at a computer monitor and I couldn't remember the word, "monitor". I thought I was going "stoopid"!

Then a friend of mine (ex-nurse) told me that aspartame, nutrasweet, equal (they're all the same) causes memory loss. It took about 3 weeks, but after I stopped drinking diet coke, my memory returned.

Answer 3

All of the diet Coke products are now sweetened with Splenda (sucralose) instead of aspartame. Sucralose is an artificial sweetener known by the trade name Splenda. It is 320–1,000 times as sweet as sucrose making it roughly twice as sweet as saccharin and four times as sweet as aspartame. It is manufactured by the selective chlorination of sucrose, by which three of sucrose's hydroxyl groups are substituted with chlorine atoms. Unlike aspartame, it is stable under heat and over a broad range of pH conditions, and can be used in baking, or in products that require a longer shelf life.

Answer 4

Is aspartame safe?


After reviewing scientific studies, FDA determined in 1981 that aspartame was safe for use in foods. In 1987, the General Accounting Office investigated the process surrounding FDA's approval of aspartame and confirmed the agency had acted properly. However, FDA has continued to review complaints alleging adverse reactions to products containing aspartame. To date, FDA has not determined any consistent pattern of symptoms that can be attributed to the use of aspartame, nor is the agency aware of any recent studies that clearly show safety problems.

Carefully controlled clinical studies show that aspartame is not an allergen. However, certain people with the genetic disease phenylketonuria (PKU), and pregnant women with hyperphenylalanine (high levels of phenylalanine in blood) have a problem with aspartame because they do not effectively metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine, one of aspartame's components. High levels of this amino acid in body fluids can cause brain damage. Therefore, FDA has ruled that all products containing aspartame must include a warning to phenylketonurics that the sweetener contains phenylalanine.
