Yes, people have told me diet coke is not good for you but I though oh well. So it is not actually my beloved diet cokes fault it is the nasty Aspartame that is used as a sugar substitute that is the evil in my diet coke.
Let me rewind to last evening......................... I was watching stupid wipe out with Chad and Gabby and decided to check in with Face Book to see what peeps were up to. My friend Maile commented that she needed a diet coke intervention before her hair started to fall out again. I quickly emailed her for the details, because my hair has seemed so thin and is all over the house all the time and I normally have a lot of hair. Come to find out this is a side effect of aspartame. OMG
I googled it and there are a ton of other side effects: dizziness, heart palpitations, irritability, muscle aches, weight gain, increased thirst, headaches and a bunch more that I can not remember. Basically it is bad bad stuff, Canada has outlawed it.
Here I though I was being good by drinking diet and caffeine free, but no. Diet coke is kind of smart they get people addicted to their product and it increases thirst so you want to drink more.
I have three diet cokes left in the fridge and that will be the end of me purchasing diet soda for daily use. I am not saying I will never drink diet coke again, just saying that I will stop drinking it every day 3-4 cans a day. YIKES!!!! Anyone have any non aspartame bubbly drinks that are yummy and low cal/sugar?? I like bubbles, they are so nice for my tummy:)
Once again the old saying is true" everything in moderation"
