Thanks so much for the information. It reminded me of a summer I spent in sunny hot Florida. I was body building regularly in heat, and drinking a TON of this new iced tea with NutraSweet. I was having a lot of problems with muscle cramping and kidney pain. I stopped drinking the stuff and it all got better. But I also moved to a cooler climate. Gradually I started up with diet cokes etc. Today is my 2nd day without the stuff. It really takes work now. I could whip into a McDonalds and grab a diet coke.
Now i have to think clearly about taking water bottles with me and finding alternatives to drink. But its ok.My doc doesn’t think it caused my health problems, but was relieved to hear me say I was going to get off of it. It’s just one more contribution of poison to my already weak body. It’s funny that you mentioned that getting off may help me lose weight, because that’s why I drank the stuff! What does our government allow to be marketed?!?
