Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi - Beware

SHIP IN HARBOUR IS SAFE, BUT, THATS NOT WHAT SHIPS ARE FOR

SWEET, BUT POISON - A MUST READ

Its a forwarded message but happened in real life.

In October of 2001, my sister started getting very
sick. She had stomach spasms and she was having a hard time getting around.
Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out of bed;
she was in so much pain.

By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue
and muscle biopsies and was on 24 various prescription medications.
The doctors could not determine what was wrong with her. She was in so
much pain, and so sick.She just knew she was dying. She put her house, bank
accounts, life insurance, etc., in her oldest daughter's name, and made sure
that her younger children were to be taken care of. She also
wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida (basically in a
wheelchair) for March 22nd.

On March 19, I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she
said they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS. I
recalled an article a friend of mine e-mailed to me and I
asked my sister if she drank diet soda? She told me that she did. As a
matter of fact, she was getting ready to crack one open that moment. I told her
not to open it, and to stop drinking the diet soda! I e-mailed her the article
my friend, a lawyer, had sent.

My sister called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation and
told me she had stopped drinking the diet soda AND she
could walk! The muscle spasms went away. She said she didn't feel 100% but she
sure felt a lot better. She told me she was going to her doctor with this
article and would call me when she got home. Well, she called me, and said her
doctor was amazed! He is going to call all of his MS patients to find out
if they consumed artificial sweeteners of any kind.

In a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet
soda......and literally dying a slow and miserable death. When she got
to Florida on March 22, all she had to take was one pill, and that was a
pill for the Aspartame poisoning! She is well on her way to a complete
recovery.

And she is walking! No wheelchair! This article saved her life.

If it says 'SUGAR FREE' on the label; DO NOT EVEN
THINK ABOUT IT!

It was announced that in the United States in 2001
there is an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic
lupus. It was difficult to determine exactly what toxin was
causing this to be rampant.

When the temperature of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F,
the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde
and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic
acidosis. Formic acid is the poison found in the
sting of fire ants. The methanol toxicity mimics, among other conditions,
multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus.

Many people were being diagnosed in error.
Although multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, Methanol toxicity is!
Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially with
Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. The victim usually
does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. He or she
continues its use; irritating the lupus to such a degree
that it may become a life-threatening condition.

Yes! Yes! Yes! STOP drinking diet sodas and be
alert for Aspartame on food labels! Many products are
fortified with it! This is a serious problem.

Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is a chemically altered,
multiple SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containing product
that actually makes you crave carbohydrates. It is far more
likely to make you GAIN weight! These products also contain
formaldehyde, which stores in the fat cells, particularly in
the hips and thighs.

Hi Sharadha,

Thanks for forwarding such an important information. Now I will never dring diet coke/pepsi. Do post such informative pieces.

Hi Sharadha,

Excellent info! Sure as you posted, it is always better to check labels whenever you are shopping.

In fact, from the begining, i try to avoid sodas-regular or diet for my entire family.

Somehow, i feel people drink it for fizz , thereby their water intake is also reduced.

Hope more people become aware of this after reading your article and reach for more healthy alternatives.

Cheers

pl reply

Hi Ranjitha,

Thanks a heap for your reply. Please pass on this info to your friends and relatives. Would try to post more.

Hi Krithi,

Thanks for your quick reply. As you said people drink for fizz. Its always better to have water or fresh juices rather than having these kind of stuff. But kids still prefer having drinks with fizz. We need to make them understand how harmful this is to our body.

Hi Seetha,

Thanks for your reply. In general, drinks with fizz are not good to have. Especially during hot summer its good to have drinking water / fresh juices rather than drinks with fizz.

While I was conversing with a doctor he said that one calorie drinks are all hoaxes, even sugar free tablets also take people for a ride. Its better to consult your doctor before using such tablets.

Dear Sharadha,
thank you for such a eye opening post. Thank God that I am not in the habit of driniking hte fizzy drinks, even the packaged drinks for that matter. I drink fresh juice or water instead or tender coconut water. Even sweet juice will not quench my thirst.
I have also made this a habit with my son that he will take only healthy things. Actually, I was told to cut out on sugar to help reduce weight. I was recommended artificial sweeteners. But I did not like the bitter taste at the end so am taking coffee and tea without sugar at all. My son too does the same. My dietician tells me to take a little of sweets instead of taking sugarfree sweets.
Thank you.

Hi Varloo,

Thanks so much for your reply and for sharing your thoughts.

Dear sharadha

thanks for the info..i keep telling ppl not to drink these as we no these are not good for our health..we can instead get used to tender coconut water or fruit juices which are a much more healthy choice...
