I recently purchased a LARGE box of Carefree gum at my local: warehouse-type-store. After chewing it for about four days, my bad knee started giving me real fits. After I stopped chewing the gum for about a week most of the pain went away. This gum contains Aspartame which I suspect is the contributor to my discomfort. As a result, I am now staying away from sugarless gums and diet soft drinks. I was wondering if anyone out there has had a similar problem with Aspartame.
Interesting. I had a similar experience with this ingredient in Kool-Aid and have stayed away from it since. I wasn’t sure if it was valid or I was just paranoid. Seems I wasn’t alone.
Well, guys – guess what? You’re definitely not alone. I experience the same thing with diet soft drinks. Will check out the book mentioned in a later post. Looks interesting.
