Well, up to last month my daughter and I had been drinking lots of diet coke, Pepsi or any other diet cola. My daughter had been getting headaches and I had started to get pains in my head. I went to a seminar and they had a speaker on there who was a Dr. who specialized in eating and drinking healthy foods.
He mentioned that diet pop that used aspartame sugar substitute) can give reactions like headaches, upset stomachs, nauseous. It appears that aspartame breaks down into methyl alcohol which, if you drank it in the pure form, would cause blindness. My daughter and I no longer drink or use anything that has aspartame in it if possible. My daughter’s headaches are gone and I no longer have pains in my head. This is just a personal observation, but I was glad I went to that seminar.
I hope others benefit from my personal experience.
