I am a reformed diet soda drinker. I thought that I didn't drink too much and I watched other things that I ate. I devloped abnormal liver readings (the equivalent of someone having 5-6 alcholic drinks a day), I suffered migraines, I craved junk, I was dignosed with diabetes.

Then I talked to my sister who was warned off aspertame by her nutritionalist. I stop ths same night and within 6 weeks my liver reading dropped by 1/3 and are now back to normal 10 months later, the headaches are gone, I don't crave the junk food near as much and with the Atkins WOL, have got my blood sugar under control and lost weight.

Too much of the stuff is very bad for you.
