As with many of you, I am a skeptic. It is difficult to make me believe something like this. But, I will speak from my own experience. Not the tale told by a friend of a friend, but me personally.
Up until 2 days ago I’ve been drinking Diet Coke and Diet Dr. Pepper. Probably 3 or more cans a day. Progressively, I’ve felt worse and worse over the past several months. I also started drinking more and more diet drinks.
My niece warned me about Aspartame. I didn’t listen and kept on drinking the Diet sodas. My symptoms included declining eyesight, fatigue, headaches, dizziness, aches in my neck, overpowering stress and a feeling of desperation. I did not want to get out of bed in the morning; I could have slept all day.
Two days ago I stopped drinking the sodas. It is the first time in over a year and a half that I’ve gone this long without a diet soda. The day after I stopped, I woke up feeling better. This morning, it is twofold. I feel better than I have in months. I’ve got a great energy level. I can breathe better, see more clearly, think clearly and I hopped out of bed.
I ask myself. Is this merely coincidence? There is nothing else I’ve changed in my diet or routine. If I was hearing this from a friend then I may doubt some but this happened to me, just this week.
The energy I feel is natural, not that of any stimulant. My attitude is that I could conquer the world and I have my confidence back.
This experience is enough to make me never consume Aspartame again. When I see a Diet Coke, it looks like a skull and crossbones to me, and I don’t miss it at all.
