"Could Aspartame Be The Cause Of Bodybuilding Deaths?"

that movie was fairly brilliant.  alt history, i'd love to see more movies like that.

[Natural Beast]

aspartame only will not kill u don't worry.. but if u abuse steroids and party drugs it may kill u one day... so stop that bullshit with aspartame causes deaths...

[scottt]

The high caffeine content, and being dehydrated while taking steroids, which some seem to cause dehydration, could cause problems?

[Mr Nobody]

Something will kill you one day.

[The True Adonis]

Been doing a lot of thinking as of late...taking  inventory and going through articles regarding aspartame. Bodybuilders that "overload" with diet coke/pepsi vs. bodybuilders who refresh their bodies with natural spring/filtered water. We all know that bodybuilders fill up and slake there thirst and hunger with diet soda.  

Is there a link? Seriously, this needs to be investigated.




STAY POSITIVE!!!!

No.  Otherwise I would have kicked the bucket years ago.  I drink around a 12 pack of Pepsi Max a day and have for years now, no breaks.

We aren't seeing the deaths in the women who in some cases are using much more "supps" then men. I do wonder if there is an IRON connection. A lot of women lose iron in their system where a lot of men store Iron in their liver. Too much iron in the system is a dirty secret of the medical field that for sure is killing people.

There's also an Iron Diabetes connection that the Hierarchy's doctors won't really deal with...

Steep for 3 to 5 minutes.
4
If you are using stevia or another sweetener, add it to this hot tea.

But I hate the taste of regular green tea so much.

After the "BreakingBad" finale, no one ever uses the Stevia packet.

well, rather aspertame than sugar.

yesterday, some medical research council of the eu released report how its safe etc, but some doctors have protested and claim their studies which show the links to cancr in mice were deliberately and maliciously ignored.

safest to drink water.

its fucked up theres sweeteners and bad sugars in almost everything these days, fuckinghell theres sugar in vegetables.

if rumsfeld has anything to do with this, then it cant be trusted,rumsfeld is the lowest scum of the earth

I've witnessed two bodybuilders drink almost a case (24 count) of diet coke in one day.

Results of the most thorough study of Aspartame ever done on the link to cancer in humans, show that as little as one diet soda daily may increase the risk for leukemia in men and women, and for multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma in men

The combined results of this new study showed that just one 12-fl oz. can (355 ml) of diet soda daily leads to:

- 42 percent higher leukemia risk in men and women (pooled analysis)
- 102 percent higher multiple myeloma risk (in men only)
- 31 percent higher non-Hodgkin lymphoma risk (in men only)

STAY POSITIVE!!!!

Where is the study link...

[Big Chiro Flex]

I have heard this can cause kidney rocks take care friend.

Nah, thats over blown. There's oxalate in many things. Just consume more citrate and it will never be a problem.

[BikiniSlut]

I absolutely hate getting into debates over "fake" sugars.

However I did extensive research on this in university. Extensive.

I believe any sweetener is like any other food.....some people are sensitive to it and others are not. It's no different than a gluten sensitivity or lactose sensitivity.

I love aspartame. I love sucrose. I love sweets!!

The only chemical I have a spot of trouble with is malitol....I can only eat it in limited amounts or else I'm gassy.

S you deny any harm caused by aspartame?

[BikiniSlut]

Please....go bold the sentences in my post where I say this or imply it.

i dont use salt.  at all.  i dont think i've touched a salt shaker in 15 years.  sure, when i eat out, things are salted, but i only eat out 1-2 times a week.  

sugar... i'll add a teaspoon to tea w/ vodka maybe once a month... delicious!  

most of the time, it's water, unsweet tea.   sugar from juice, fruit, etc.  Now and then if I have to drive at 2am, I will get a free red bull and take 2 sips, that'll usually be enough for a week.   I feel really gross when I have lots of sugar.  I get a coke and I want to vomit.

This is a promising idea

I had a diabetic friend who used to order dessert and just take a big whiff of it, never ate a bite.

I do.  .Aspartame is 100 Percent Safe with no links to any ill effects whatsoever.

http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/artificial-sweeteners

Subsequently, NCI examined human data from the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study of over half a million retirees. Increasing consumption of aspartame-containing beverages was not associated with the development of lymphoma, leukemia, or brain cancer (2).

I go with the Science and Evidence.  Opinions are useless in the face of overwhelming Evidence.  Another authority on Cancer:

http://www.cancer.org/Cancer/CancerCauses/OtherCarcinogens/AtHome/aspartame

In the largest study of this issue, researchers from the NCI looked at cancer rates in more than 500,000 older adults. The study found that, compared to people who did not drink aspartame-containing beverages, those who did drink them did not have an increased risk of lymphomas, leukemias, or brain tumors.

What expert agencies say

Expert agencies in the United States and elsewhere that have evaluated aspartame have found it safe for use.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the use of aspartame and other artificial sweeteners in the United States. In 2007, the FDA stated:

Considering results from the large number of studies on aspartame's safety, including five previously conducted negative chronic carcinogenicity studies, a recently reported large epidemiology study with negative associations between the use of aspartame and the occurrence of tumors, and negative findings from a series of three transgenic mouse assays, FDA finds no reason to alter its previous conclusion that aspartame is safe as a general purpose sweetener in food.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) assesses the safety of sweeteners such as aspartame in the European Union. According to a 2009 report from its Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources Added to Food:

Overall, the Panel concluded, on the basis of all the evidence currently available… that there is no indication of any genotoxic or carcinogenic potential of aspartame and that there is no reason to revise the previously established ADI for aspartame of 40 mg/kg [body weight].

Though research into a possible link between aspartame and cancer continues, these agencies agree that studies done so far have not found such a link.

That's 1 study.

There are dozens which refute it.
