In the early 60's my mother began drinking a soda called Patio, that had saccharin in it. She loved the stuff and even put saccharin in her coffee instead of sugar. She began to develop red sores all over her body including her face. Doctor told her it was the saccharin and to stop use. She did and it went away. Then that cola called Patio was changed to Diet Pepsi, and switched from saccharin to aspertame. When they did that mom went back to it. She liked it a lot and awhile later she developed kidney stones, stating that giving birth to me was less painful. She stopped drinking it and no more kidney stones. Good grief. Because of it I never drank diet sodas, and wouldn't let my kids drink them either.
The science seems to be solid but I can never tell if a source is unbiased or not. On one hand you have big money from the manufacturers of artificial sweeteners and then on the other hand you have health gurus that don't have a vested interest but are usually using pseudoscience in their arguments.
I’m taking the side without a vested interest aka health gurus. They actually lose money from advising against aspartame , yet they still recognize the dangers
All academics suggest to compare and contrast different sources. Never get all your information from a single source. This video us good as it gives several points which you can factcheck yourself.
Why do you believe health gurus are not a vested interest? Many of them seem to have something to sell…. Every diet that isn’t calories in calories out is most likely a money scam.
I am a diabetic with a sweet tooth; a bad combination indeed. Since I can't have sugar anymore, I initially switched to Stevia. However I never liked the taste of Stevia and even after using it for a long time I simply couldn't develop a taste for it. Then about ten months back I decided to try Aspertame instead. And it turned out to be the best substitute for Sugar amongst all Sugar substitutes avaliable. So I happily switched to Aspartame in no time. The thing is I am ending up consuming lot of Aspertame now; a lot more than any doctor would recommend or even allow me to have. Yet luckily there is no sign of Aspertame causing any of the symptoms mentioned in the video so far.... but I am worried and hope all that daily dose of Aspertame is not having severe ill effects on my health without my noticing it. It is not the shortening of natural life span which bothers me so much (honestly not at all) instead it is the horrible things that happen to diabetics while they're alive (co-morbidity resulting in organ failures leading to blindness, amputation of limbs, dependence on dialysis _et al_ ).
Aspartame, gives me migraines, had multiple tests and no one could find out the cause of these migraines, it turned out that it was the aspartame in Diet Pepsi I was drinking. I stopped my intake of aspartame and I’ve never had a migraine since.
@@EEEBA1 you should try to eat some complex carbohydrates with it. Your cravings are due to a drop in blood sugar. Eating complex carbohydrates (aka foods with many fibres) will keep you filled much longer.
@@tjorven4124 Yeah, but I'm trying to lose weight so I should eliminate most of those carbs. In the last seven days I didn't have any diet soda, I'm drinking more water and eating more healthy fats. So the cravings are down but my weight is the same...
@@EEEBA1 complex carbohydrates are best for weight loss. It's the fibres in them that make them hard to digest keeping you full for longer. Whole grain foods are an example. Simple carbohydrates on the other hand are faster digested and give you spikes in blood sugar. Those are for example white rice, sugar, potatoes,... Losing weight can happen with both, but it's easier with the first. It's all about your calorie intake. The rest is about getting your building blocks for your body (vitamins, protein, fat,...)
I drank 1 drink sweetened with aspartame and it raised my bg to over 200. It took me 2 days to get it back to normal range and to figure out what caused the spike and the sparkling water from Walmart was the only thing I had off my normal eating and drinking.
Also creepy fact in the early late century they were using aspartame as a light-sensitive in insane asylums which means they were using that symptoms to laboratories people
I couldn’t believe chewing gum could be a nearly fatal, habit, until it happened to me! I had developed a habit of chewing two or three pieces of Wrigley’s orbit gum and getting a change of gum at least 4 to 5 times daily. As an RN I was completely disabled and spent a year in living hell with anxiety so severe I was suicidal! I was so restless I wanted to crawl out of my skin. I couldn’t even sit back in my chair I had to rock incessantly. I slept for 1 to 2 hours then woke up and was awake for up to two hours and then got another 1 to 2 hours of sleep. In total I was only getting 4 to 6 hours of sleep nightly for an entire year! I was sleeping 8 to 10 hours nightly prior to changing from natural gums to the cheaper Wrigley‘s brand gum! I couldn’t focus on anything and spent four hours trying to watch a half hour program because I couldn’t absorb what was being said! My vision was blurry and I went to multiple doctors, but nothing they gave me was providing relief! After not finding any relief and being so disabled I began to read about aspartame and the first reports I read all said it was safe so I didn’t give it a second thought. Thank God six months later when I was on the verge of killing myself because I couldn’t tolerate living in such torment I decided to dig deeper and discovered aspartame can be toxic! I immediately stopped chewing gum which was really my favorite and only vice in life! Guess what? Yes, within one day I was back in my right mind! I am livid over how can they put something like this in our food without giving us blaring warnings about how toxic it is - especially for certain people who are more sensitive to it. Our body chemistry changes every seven years so you can tolerate a certain food or medicine all your life and then suddenly develop allergies or sensitivities! Don’t sit smugly thinking, oh this could never happen to me, because I can testify that you never know and doctors are not trained to look for this type of toxicity! I wonder how many children with mental issues just need to get off of the aspartame! If it could do what it did to me, the fact that it silently causes cancer’s and other neurological conditions without being identified until the damage is done is easy to understand! We are like lambs to the slaughter trusting in companies motivated to cheaply process and sell us their goods!
jonah Biedermann thank you for asking, that’s a very relevant question. Yes, I saw four different specialists in my desperation to find relief! All the common medical conditions (and medications) that can induce akathisia were ruled out. The horror ended A year and four months later, just as abruptly as it had began very shortly after getting the aspartame gum out of my diet. Believe me if I’d known aspartame could cause the akathisia, I would’ve ended it much sooner! Without exaggeration, it’s a miracle I survived the entire experience without caving into the nearly irresistible, suicidal drive it induces!
@@christinacooper5627 Christina what do you do for health? If you get no cardio, vitamin D, Omega 3s, fiber, decent probiotic, magnesium and potassium then you shouldn't be worrying about aspartame, unless you have that disease, in witch(I mispelled witch but since its october ill just leave it) case switch to a different sweetner like sucralose or something. The gut and mind are attached.
Appreciate the video. Something I thought was interesting was that you touched on the FDA response to Aspartame. Something you may not have seen, however, was the voting makeup of the approval of the chemical. I believe it still holds the title of the most contested decision made by the FDA to date. In regards to there being little evidence of serious side effects in the general public it is important to remember the saying “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.” Unfortunately there has not actually been any thorough research into this chemicals effects so we do not know if there is a risk to public health.
@@Mykaelous he's saying it hasn't been researched well enough to say for sure whether it's harmful or not. Science changes constantly as we find new information. Just cause a potential side-effect hasn't been concretely found yet doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
There have been something like 200 studies from around the world by universities and other laboratories. How much more research do you think would make it “researched enough?”
You can get addicted to the sweet taste of sweeteners, so it's good to go cold turkey and just drink water and nothing else. I was addicted to diet/caffeine-free cola and root beer from Sam's, but gave them up, it was a challenge at first, but after 3 days of just drinking water only, I didn't need the diet soda waters anymore. :)
@@winooi5012 You can do it, I did it. Water is about all I drink, and also decaf coffee with nothing added, and decaf tea with nothing added. You have to get that sweet taste off of your tongue, and that's the trick. Bread, pizza, hamburgers, shakes, cokes, and anything sweet that will leave you wanting more and more and more, it's never ending. If you eat veggies, but not fruit because fruit is sweet and will leave a sweet taste on your tongue, and eat whole meats like beef, chicken, tuna, hamburger, pork, and fish, but no deli because again they put sugar in a lot of deli, and potato salad, and most restaurants make their foods with sweet additives that will leave that sweet taste in your mouth, and that will leave you addicted to sugar, and a slave to sugar addiction, and you will never be healthy because of so much junk food and empty calories you are eating. You must eat whole foods that carry nutrition to your whole body, and that will leave you satisfied, empty calories will not. I eat from 12pm - 6pm everyday twice within that time period. I eat eggs, soups, and salad with nothing but whole foods, and after I get through eating, I'm not hungry for at least 18 to 20 hours because my body has the stuff that it needs. No more sugar cravings either. Good luck, I've lost 80 pounds so far, and I believe that this is something that I can stick with. At first you want all the crap you have been eating all of your life, but after about 3 months or so, you start beginning to love veggies, meats, eggs, and you won't want cakes, chips, candy, and cookies anymore. Good luck! :) It's doable!
@@winooi5012 Win oiii.... I hope you are more familiar to rice and noodles instead of burgers and pizzas, since your uncle is Jackie Chan... You can have those two even with water!!!!!¡ And if you have a problem even with that !!!!! Than please go for black tea, that will soothe you😆

THANK YOU. I was not sleeping because of all of the ingredients I my gum and I figured they were all safe to consume. The gum btw was wrigleys doublemint.
Stuff makes my tongue and throat swell and gives me migraines, so hard pass. My mother in law drank a lot of diet coke and now is having bone and teeth softening issues which her doctor links to aspertame. The formaldehyde thing I'll have to investigate. Never heard of it being naturally in the body and breathing it out. That's bizarre.
@@bespectacledperson2316 talk to your doctor or dietitian ( must be based in a hospital cause there are so many nonsense ones) but aspartame is generally safe and one of the most vigorously tested for it’s safety . You have to consume the equivalent of 20 cups of pure aspartame a day for 10 years for it to start showing adverse effects. But also need to keep in mind that everything should be in moderation
I take Gaviscon which is basically a miracle treatment for GERD. It's strange that they would add this sweetener. It still tastes horrible and most people with GERD would rather a few seconds of poor taste compared to a lifetime of PPI's with horrible side effects. With cancer rates increasing in the Western world, one has to wonder if Aspartame or some other man made additive or preservative is responsible.
i recently cut pepsi max (espartame sweetened) and stopped taking ppi's. Can now eat what ever i want without any gerd symptoms. I tested my theory and had another glass of pepsi max after 3 days and suffered gerd almost immediately and throughout the rest of my day. Also the food cravings and bad eating habits have all stopped almost immediately after cutting the drink.
Safe intake is 50 mg/kg of body weight. That roughly translates to 1.5 gallons of diet soda per day at the upper limit of what they consider safe in the US. Evidently in Europe it is 40mg/kg. (Sourced from a page written by University of Alabama at Birmingham)
If you have PKU Phenylketonuria that is a rare condition you can't consume Aspartame. But also phenylalanine, which is found mostly in foods that contain protein
You shouldn’t smoke cigarettes, either, but multitudes of people still DO. If fact, this is how the cigarette companies STILL talk about how their products are “perfectly safe!!!” If you believe that, I’ve got a bridge to sell you!!!
all i want to know is, is drinking a bottle of carbonated flavored water with aspartame in it better for your than drinking a soda, im trying to lose weight but i dont want to kill my self ya dig
Diet drinks are fine to drink while losing weight as long as your diet supplements it. In other words, don't switch to diet drinks and think that's all you need to do.
It very well might be people who are already overeating and consuming surplus calories but then think throwing in a diet soda is helping them cut down the calories. But the 0 calories is moot because they've already gone over their caloric limit through just food alone.
That's likely because he hasn't done a thing to change the rest of his diet. Drinking diet sodas isn't going to do a thing if you're packing down a Big Mac and large fries. In other words, diet soda isn't going to cause you to gain weight, but it isn't going to cause your to lose weight either if you're still packing in a ton of carbs or calories. What does this guy's diet look like?
Aspartame is a poison..nowhere on youtube can you find out eho invented it or what it was originally invented for..look up agent orange and what it was used for during the vietnam war and what happened to the soldiers eho were spraying it around...nothing on this earth with the exception of nuclear waste can cause cancer as fast as aspartame does....stay well away from it.
It took me 2 seconds of googling to find out who discovered and invented it. It was discovered by chemist James M. Schlatter by accident that aspartame tasted sweet. Agent orange has absolutely nothing in common aspartame. The fact you tried to use youtube as google is also astounding. People like you that spread complete misinformation are dangerous to society.
As a medical professional I am warning you, don’t be fooled! Also don’t be educating others about misinformation when you have no education on the matter!
@@christinacooper5627 what proof do you have that aspartame caused all this complications to your life Ms. Cooper. I'm asking because I drink the Wal-Mart version of crystal light everyday which contains aspartame, and some the symptoms you've experienced I have as well, but chalked it up to life stress.
BIASED. Aspastame itself might be “safe”, but it engages us in unhealthy habits of eating x times more than normal due to the super sweet taste our gut recognizes, potentially leading to different types of diabetes.
If you are a normal functioning human being it will not make you engage in unhealthy habits of eating... It's the same as sugar. If you start eating unhealthy because you're too much of a fat fuck to put something sweet down that's your fault.
This guy is a want-a-be. The FSA approved Aspartame; it is not harmful. You are just wanting your 5 minutes of fame. Yeah, somehow, someway you are smarter than, or know something that the FDA doesn't.
Which "guy". The person who made this video is sticking with pretty solid science: it has never been shown that aspartame is harmful in reasonable doses (and remember: for most chemicals its the dose that makes the poison: our bodies are able to handle small amounts of many harmful substances without any harm at all), in a well-designed, peer-reviewed scientific study - except to a very small percentages of the general population. The presenter agrees with this, and sets forth a good defense of aspartame.
Yes way back in 1990 i started to drinking beer Then I I thought why am I drinking this I don't even like it .So I started drinking Diet Coke I thought I really love this So I went on drinking diet coke Then in 1998 I started having problems I had a MRI Well it showed I had brain damage in my brain Well the doctors thought I Had MS So they sent me ÒU HOSPITAL so the Doctor said I had Mini strokes that caused the problem well that was drinking diet Coke I Had three MRI Each one was worst than the last one Then I stop drinking Diet Coke a few months later I had a MRI The it showed that it was just like the last MRI So that shows that Diet Coke cause Strokes

"This video is brought to you by the good folks at Sweet n' Low" Lol!
More like the good people of Equal. Sweet n’ low has saccharin.
Thank you 😢 👊🏿
THANK YOU. I was not sleeping because of all of the ingredients I my gum and I figured they were all safe to consume. The gum btw was wrigleys doublemint.
Stuff makes my tongue and throat swell and gives me migraines, so hard pass. My mother in law drank a lot of diet coke and now is having bone and teeth softening issues which her doctor links to aspertame. The formaldehyde thing I'll have to investigate. Never heard of it being naturally in the body and breathing it out. That's bizarre.
Hnmmm the teeth and bone softening issues are most probably from the acidity of the soda?? Aspartame does not interact with the bone.
@@bespectacledperson2316 talk to your doctor or dietitian ( must be based in a hospital cause there are so many nonsense ones) but aspartame is generally safe and one of the most vigorously tested for it’s safety . You have to consume the equivalent of 20 cups of pure aspartame a day for 10 years for it to start showing adverse effects. But also need to keep in mind that everything should be in moderation
I take Gaviscon which is basically a miracle treatment for GERD. It's strange that they would add this sweetener. It still tastes horrible and most people with GERD would rather a few seconds of poor taste compared to a lifetime of PPI's with horrible side effects.
With cancer rates increasing in the Western world, one has to wonder if Aspartame or some other man made additive or preservative is responsible.
I personally think it’s from so many nuclear meltdowns in recent history that have been covered up.
Everyone is fat. Much better explanation
i recently cut pepsi max (espartame sweetened) and stopped taking ppi's. Can now eat what ever i want without any gerd symptoms. I tested my theory and had another glass of pepsi max after 3 days and suffered gerd almost immediately and throughout the rest of my day.
Also the food cravings and bad eating habits have all stopped almost immediately after cutting the drink.
@@alissacook6937
nope, it's from pharmaceutical products, medications and vaccines
What is considered an "excessive amount"?
Safe intake is 50 mg/kg of body weight. That roughly translates to 1.5 gallons of diet soda per day at the upper limit of what they consider safe in the US. Evidently in Europe it is 40mg/kg.
(Sourced from a page written by University of Alabama at Birmingham)
Thank you for this informative video!
“Under certain conditions”……well,what are those conditions? Why didn’t he talk about that?
If you have PKU Phenylketonuria that is a rare condition you can't consume Aspartame. But also phenylalanine, which is found mostly in foods that contain protein
remember guys dont trust media jus tbecause of ONE video do more studies please
No, I'm going to automatically assume what ever the media says, and if some other informatin comes out against it, then it is biased and, nitpicky
Is the methanol chain identical?
Thank you.
ohh i just ote like 5 packs of gum with this in it
The majority of media out there: aspartame is bad, don't consume it.
Me: well, nothing new! A lot of other things aren't healthy for you either.
Like table salt lol
That's a positive way to look at things and accept anything a company has to offer regardless of the effects down the line right?
You shouldn’t smoke cigarettes, either, but multitudes of people still DO.
If fact, this is how the cigarette companies STILL talk about how their products are “perfectly safe!!!”
If you believe that, I’ve got a bridge to sell you!!!
Aspartame is phenylalanine. It's safe
@@TELEVISIONARCHIVES: You just keep right on listening to what their "poser-scientists" tell you. It's safe,... right? Riiiight!!!
Only on paper
Ik people who like diet Coke but that shi nasty to me and I'm glad. i really don't even like Coke like that now ...
Just think, what is coke? Whatever it is it can’t be good.
Too much of anything is bad for you
Different things have a different limit

I feel well after eating fresh food but I recognize aspartame if it is only a little amount. How much is aspartame content in one kilogram of oranges?
not much
BTW are you being paid by cola companies?😆
Thats why solar watch is a good choice
My doctor suggested me a vitamin c supplement which has aspartame in it, I am confused if I should continue with the supplement or not
Obviously dont
There are vitamin C supplements without aspartame. Ask around at your local drug store and grocery store.
all i want to know is, is drinking a bottle of carbonated flavored water with aspartame in it better for your than drinking a soda, im trying to lose weight but i dont want to kill my self ya dig
Diet drinks are fine to drink while losing weight as long as your diet supplements it. In other words, don't switch to diet drinks and think that's all you need to do.
Ive read it can actually cause people to eat more food in general. Not sure if that is true or not.
It very well might be people who are already overeating and consuming surplus calories but then think throwing in a diet soda is helping them cut down the calories. But the 0 calories is moot because they've already gone over their caloric limit through just food alone.
untrue for me, I barely eat to not die

Nope...Aspartame can never cause cancer

Shit is all nasty and why are people addicted to diet soda
Same as fucking fluoride
I know a guy who drinks 4L of Diet Coke eery single day and he is still super fat.
That's likely because he hasn't done a thing to change the rest of his diet. Drinking diet sodas isn't going to do a thing if you're packing down a Big Mac and large fries. In other words, diet soda isn't going to cause you to gain weight, but it isn't going to cause your to lose weight either if you're still packing in a ton of carbs or calories. What does this guy's diet look like?
Aspartame is a poison..nowhere on youtube can you find out eho invented it or what it was originally invented for..look up agent orange and what it was used for during the vietnam war and what happened to the soldiers eho were spraying it around...nothing on this earth with the exception of nuclear waste can cause cancer as fast as aspartame does....stay well away from it.
It took me 2 seconds of googling to find out who discovered and invented it. It was discovered by chemist James M. Schlatter by accident that aspartame tasted sweet. Agent orange has absolutely nothing in common aspartame. The fact you tried to use youtube as google is also astounding. People like you that spread complete misinformation are dangerous to society.
Bad Video! - A lot of misinformation here.
RAKANKAN like what?
RAKANKAN Wow, with evidence like that, how could I not be convinced 🤣
As a medical professional I am warning you, don’t be fooled! Also don’t be educating others about misinformation when you have no education on the matter!
@@christinacooper5627 what proof do you have that aspartame caused all this complications to your life Ms. Cooper. I'm asking because I drink the Wal-Mart version of crystal light everyday which contains aspartame, and some the symptoms you've experienced I have as well, but chalked it up to life stress.
@Andrew May she's a nurse. Most nurses over the years become cray cray. trust me, been one for 35 years.
Boooo Penn state
BIASED. Aspastame itself might be “safe”, but it engages us in unhealthy habits of eating x times more than normal due to the super sweet taste our gut recognizes, potentially leading to different types of diabetes.
False. Unproven and inclusive data.
If you are a normal functioning human being it will not make you engage in unhealthy habits of eating... It's the same as sugar. If you start eating unhealthy because you're too much of a fat fuck to put something sweet down that's your fault.

This guy is a want-a-be. The FSA approved Aspartame; it is not harmful. You are just wanting your 5 minutes of fame. Yeah, somehow, someway you are smarter than, or know something that the FDA doesn't.
Which "guy". The person who made this video is sticking with pretty solid science: it has never been shown that aspartame is harmful in reasonable doses (and remember: for most chemicals its the dose that makes the poison: our bodies are able to handle small amounts of many harmful substances without any harm at all), in a well-designed, peer-reviewed scientific study - except to a very small percentages of the general population. The presenter agrees with this, and sets forth a good defense of aspartame.
Any governing entity can be easily persuaded.
You are so wrong
Yes way back in 1990 i started to drinking beer Then I I thought why am I drinking this I don't even like it .So I started drinking Diet Coke I thought I really love this So I went on drinking diet coke Then in 1998 I started having problems I had a MRI Well it showed I had brain damage in my brain Well the doctors thought I Had MS So they sent me ÒU HOSPITAL so the Doctor said I had Mini strokes that caused the problem well that was drinking diet Coke I Had three MRI Each one was worst than the last one Then I stop drinking Diet Coke a few months later I had a MRI The it showed that it was just like the last MRI So that shows that Diet Coke cause Strokes
It is harmful. Got it.
OP Answer: Yes. It’s Dangerous and lethal.
