    Re: Sucralose and Aspartame--do you use Splenda?
    Wow.. maybe that is what triggers my migraines? I get them rarely, and one of my triggers is little sleep and getting up early. I had a Killer one this week.. come to think of it, I had drank diet Coke that day.. seriously.
    I am really wanting to stop feeding my body this junk. I Love Snapple Iced teas, but hate the diet versions. I actually like it a little watered-down with ice cubes.. it stretches farther And tastes better to me! More "natural" than soda..
    Isn't aspartame a proven carcinogen though? How can they even sell it in foods knowing that?

    BUT! Well water is Not all bad. Ours here is a tad on the hard side, but it comes from a natural spring, and tastes better than any bottled spring water that I have tried. No odor either.. I have had Horrific well water that Reeked of sulfur.. now That is grosso! I would never buy a house without researching its well and water and even asking the neighbors about water quality.

    It's not a proven cancer-causing agent, any more than peanut butter. Remember that report?
    If you feed lab rats nothing but one item(almost no matter what it is) then you'll end up with cancer and tumours. Lots of studies show substances are cancer-causing agents, but they are skewed towards finding something wrong.
    My husband got migraines from one of the diet sugar subsitutes. I don't. I just like sugar better though, so I rarely use a subsitute, and frankly diet soda? Eww. Nasty.
    I discount almost any 'study' or website that says something causes 50 different health issues. Usually something harmful causes a distinct health risk, not a whole bunch of disorders and diseases that don't usually have any proven cause to begin with.
    So in short, I don't know that it's harmless, but I also don't know there is any issue with it either.

    Meh... I stopped drinking diet pop and all of a sudden never got migraines anymore... Perhaps a coincidense... Either way, a sort of funny one considering all the research. My Dr swore up and down it was the coffee and made me stop drinking it - it made me miserable and I got more migraines because I needed the caffeine of a diet cola in the morning.

    Back to a pot a day, no fake sugar and I haven't had a migraine in 8 months after 3 years of having at least one a week.

    I'd always thought that perhaps it was just hormone changes or something... Now I'm tempted to buy a few cases of Diet Coke and experiment! lol!!! (I grew up on only diet cola etc - my parents are both Diabetic).
