Has diet soda made anyone sick?

Question

I drink only diet drinks and the occasional sweet tea.Every once and a while I read some story about aspartame making people sick. I also drink the ones with splenda,and recently saw a story that it can make you sick as well.So my question is-has anyone here actually gotten sick from aspartame or splenda? Can you prove it was that or do you just think it?I have never gotten sick from it,at least not to my knowledge.Personal experience only please.

Answer 1

Those stories originate with food snobs and they never have any actual studies to back their sensationalist views.

I drink unbelievable amounts of diet drinks and never have gotten sick from them - so that is my "personal experience" anecdote which is as scientifically worthless as what the anti-diet-soda people have for their information.

Answer 2

diet soda is worse than regular soda- it's full of chemicals and acids.  consider making your own drinks with juice and club soda.

Answer 3

All soda is made from a variety of ingredients including chemicals. Some people have no problems with aspartame or splenda. Others do. It is an individual thing.  I personally don't like the after taste from splenda, but I don get sick. And aspartame does not bother me at all. You will have to try different sodas to find one you like and does not bother you. By reading the ingredient label on the can you can find out what kind of sweetner is in it. Good luck.
