Hey guys, do any of you guys suffer from headaches and overall confusion. I have for years. Just recently I was made aware of aspartame and the gazillion side effects one can get. I have for many years drank diet cola with my rye. In any given week I would drink at least 12. Well, I stopped diet cola for about 10 weeks now and I must say, I feel great now. After about the 2nd or 3rd week my headaches and that slow thinking feeling was gone. They put aspartame in anything that is label lite that is supposed to be sweet. Besides diet cola, it can be in gum, puddings and jello's and many many other things. If you have had symtoms like I have had, try a diet with no aspartame for 30 days and see if you feel better.
