I do eat salad like onions, cucumber e.t.c I just hate lettuce and wish it were gone forever.

I eat pretty standard stuff like bacon, eggs, chips. I don't bother with eating so called healthy food cos I believe in enjoying my food.

I take a multi-vitamin tablet daily so I don't get scurvy and I drink fruit juice and eat brown bread cos It's good for you and I actually prefer the taste I like the seeded loafs.

I lift weights and do cycling cos I don't want to bugger up my joints running.

I generally avoid sweets and chocolate except to get my blood sugar up after a work out.

if you wanna lose weight here's a little doozie for you if you drink coke swap it for oj or pineapple juice much better for you and still tastes great

It fucks with the satiety loop in the body by being sweet yet having no nutrition hence we crave more and more. It's been suggested as a neurotoxin causing excitement and degradation in the brain. It's had a profound number of public complaints against it leading to implications in everything from MS to Cancer. I gather the research supporting it is paid for by those who produce it, unsurprisingly.

Now I am biased against anything artificial and suspect we don't fully understand the implications of any of these products yet.

However, you sound confident, I'm open to being educated if you can give me some good sources I might find credible.

PS

I share the same bias against anything processed so no worries. But Aspartame (I'm going to spell it right this time) has been demonized to the point where it's blamed for more bad than smoking. Quite a stretch for something that's essentially a combination of 2 amino acids.

Most of this has been done in chain emails as part of Cokelore and either misprepresent the facts or just outright make things up.

The truth is that it hasn't been linked to any adverse affects whatsoever and this was confirmed in a 2007 US Study (FDA commissioned, and impartial):

Aspartame: a safety evaluation based on current us... [Crit Rev Toxicol. 2007] - PubMed result

The Food Standards Agency has a good summary of it here:

Food Standards Agency - Aspartame

Also Snopes has a good summary of the campaign against it here:

snopes.com: Aspartame -- Sweet Poison?

I drink a lot of Diet Coke, so have done my homework on it. The thing is most of the sites attacking it don't actually have much proof and a lot the panic around it is political, rather than scientific.

can you please make the last sentence more understandable.

To each their own hotshot. I like Orange Juice. I like Diet Coke too.

And the last sentance 'translates' as:

Cheers for your efforts, personally I find the FDA to be a joke and am far more persuaded by my own research, but as you said elsewhere on this thread: each to his own. Just consider it going forward mate, you've got the leeching issue, the barren nutrition issue, how the alcohol is processed by the body, the satiety issue, the PCB's from the plastic, the forced absorption rate from the carbonation. We both know mother nature is infinitely more elegant than we are capable of understanding. I depends how far you want to go with the natural food slant, personally I'm obsessed with it.

please dont come on here and tell me Diet coke or any other brewed and manufactured crap is good for yuo especially verses orange juice and please dont tell me orange cordial is good for you either
stop being a bunch of homos, go as natural as possible-- Juice not from concentrate so either squeeze it yourself or at least go the tropicana route

dont be gay
have as natural a diet as possible--avoid anything refined, processed, brewed yadda yadda yadda

I never said it was good for you. Just that it wasn't going to give you cancers and brain tumours.

And sorry, didn't realise that I was a homosexual simply because I like Diet Coke. I'll take it nobody here drinks alcohol at all then?
