I'm a week and a day in to leaving Nutrasweet behind.
I'm going through serious withdrawal, but it's time I buck up and let go of this crutch from my youth. It's not cute anymore to get up and have a Diet Coke first thing in the morning. It's good going down, but makes me feel like shit the rest of the day.
I've been real lucky in terms of looking young for my age, but I have tons of health problems folks don't even know about. From all the anecdotal evidence I've been gathering, it seems a great number of my issues are linked to years of aspartame consumption. Not only that--but I researched a claim from an acquaintance who said diet soda breaks down to methanol inside the body (which eventually becomes formaldehyde, folks), and finding out that it was true was enough for me to look at knocking off my 25 year habit.
If you're interested, or you're wanting to quit yourself, take a look at the valuable resource below. If it's enough to persuade you, drop me a line--I could use a buddy in breaking this seemingly harmless, yet vicious addiction.
