taking it all into account
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame
the points to take away would be that it does NOT show beneficial effects regarding to weight loss or diabetes so that's already where i start wondering why not use just sugar ?
its the money , right ? the chemical must be a lot easier to produce and what most people don't read on the packaging is how it says (at least here)
x percent of daily recommended maximum dose PER BOTTLE, or per can, or per pack of chewing gum, it doesnt say "you should not drink more than 2 or more than 3 bottles a day if you already had other products with the same chemicals in it"
it clearly doesnt say that, it says "this specific container is safe if you consume it and nothing else"
thats what it says between the lines, i dont know about the regulations in the states but its just some bit of smoke and mirrors really,
it's not a lie, so the legalists are happy, but considering the amount of care your average joe takes into account consuming everything around it might as well be
like you say "Its not bad", euh "ITS GOOD" for you heh
pure money, fields of sugarcane or beets or whatever cost a lot more to produce and maintain than some metal container in a factory, right ?
;-)
Very good point. I used to drink diet pop and I have to admit I was always sluggish even had a hard time losing weight and so on. I stop drinking it and I felt better and my weight was easier to control. So from a personal stand point there is nothing good about Aspartame.
That metal container may be cheaper... We would rather pay a little extra for something that is natural than some chemical that was whipped up as a cheaper alternative.
i think we shouldnt have to pay extra for something thats natural lol ... i drink a lot of iced tea lately from all kinds of stuff my mother grows in the garden they have in france (where they spend most of the years ... which as i often need to stress, does not mean that i have money) and it suits me just fine, i usually drink bottled water, and i prefer glass but they dont sell those in every supermarket and they dont sell those on home delivery too, must be something insurance and risk , or maybe once more too much hassle to take the glass back. and a few cups of coffee a day.
the occasional bender might happen but that seems to be only a problem to other people who can't manage doing that for two days and then stop
but thats about it, i have smoked four cigarettes in the last two days though, thats alarming since i quit for years and i barely ever, only when im out with friends and have a few beers i might take one if someone offers
but no more at home so i'm thinking i have to restrain myself lol, not out of some silly moral, it just seems like a waste after years of not
i assume the only thing containing aspartame i have here is the box of chewing gum on my desk, i wouldnt know where to find any without it anymore really
rosehip-ice tea and chewing gum ... party !
i really think natural stuff should be cheaper, not something you have to pay more for lol, that sounds like
only natural to me
Aspartame
Aspartame (APM) is an artificial non-saccharide sweetener used as a sugar substitute in some foods and beverages. In the European Union, it is codified as E951. Aspartame is a methyl ester of the aspartic acid/phenylalanine dipeptide.
A panel of experts set up by the European Food Safety Authority concluded in 2013 that aspartame is safe for human consumption at current levels of exposure.
