is asphartame not good to consume?

There were tests done that say it isn't healthy and can cause a multitude of problems, but everyone has to drink their diet soda to make up for that candy bar they ate earlier... not me though, purity is my stance or at least as close as possible

If its seriously dangerous then you should never drink pepto-bismol.  Its full of it.  By the way, a MSDS will tell you everything about a chemical.

Doesn't sound safe.  Try Benadryl instead

Multiviatmins should be taken only if there is any deficiency or to recoup health after illness;  that  too for a short period.  Otherwise it is harmful to the body.

aspartame is carcinogenic in large quantities (like most chemically-formulated foods). its also linked to neuro-muscular problems and headaches. personally, i won't touch the stuff. i'd rather be fat than dead.

Topamax's Cons: If you don't have a temporal lobe dysfunction or problems with other parts of your brain that Topamax hits, or you're at the wrong dosage, it will make you dumber than a box of rocks. The kidney stones aren't much fun.  Because it was newly approved for migraines and can work at a low dosage without all the sucky side effects of Depakote (Who cares if you're stupid as long as you're not fat and don't need blood work?) the pharmaceutical reps are pressuring the doctors to prescribe it to anyone and everyone with bad head pain, even if it's not appropriate.  New Approval Syndrome can thus screw people by prescribing  them the wrong drug for their migraines.  Worse yet when they may not even have migraines, and perhaps have trigeminal neuralgia, for which Tegretol is more appropriate.\n\n \n\nTopamax's Typical Side Effects: The usual for anticonvulsants. A pins & needles effect that usually goes away after no more than a week or two. Weight loss and appetite suppression - but please note that not everyone gets this side effect. Sodas and other carbonated beverages will utterly taste like ass, so you may as well give them up now if you're considering Topamax. Memory loss, aphasia (weird words coming out in place of what you meant to say or write), word find problems (not being able to recall the names of people, things or concepts), and a general cognitive impairment that has earned this drug the nicknames "Stupamax" and "Dopamax." As Topamax typically makes you really sleepy and has a long enough half-life, you can usually get away with taking it all at bedtime.\n\nFor tips on how to cope with these side effects, please see our side effects page.\nThese aren't all the side effects possible, just the most popular ones.\n\nTopamax's Not So Common Side Effects: Dry and/or itchy eyes along with assorted vision problems. Topamax also has a warning for rare forms of myopia and glaucoma, so if you get any sort of visual weirdness, have your eyes checked immediately! Fortunately discontinuing Topamax usually takes care of these issues, but you can't let your doctor just blow it off as an eye thing. You may find yourself not able to drink coffee any more, so be prepared to quit the bean. Because it does hit the temporal lobes so hard you can get a zombification effect that is typically experienced only with antipsychotics. Unlike the antipsychotics it's not such a sure thing it will go away in a matter of a couple of weeks. And since the olfactory bulb is wedged in that neighborhood, food in general, and not just carbonated beverages, may not taste quite the same. If you were experiencing frequent, intense déjà vu or jamais vu you might experience the other as the damaged temporal lobe starts working correctly.\nThese may or may not happen to you don't, so don't be surprised one way or the other.\n\n \n\nTopamax's Freaky Rare Side Effects: Tongue paralysis. Combine that with not being able to get the right words out and you're all set to apply for the position of village idiot. There have also been a couple of men who started lactating after taking Topamax. \nYou aren't going to get these. I promise.\n\nInteresting Stuff Your Doctor Probably Won't Tell You: Topamax is the worst when it comes to birth control pills. If you're taking The Pill for any reason at all and you start Topamax you need to contact your OB-GYN immediately, as you may need a new prescription. It depends on the type and strength of oral contraceptive you're taking. It's all spelled out in the PI sheet. What's not in the PI sheets of either Topamax or various oral contraceptives is that combining the two often produces wacky hormonal effects that will make you feel like you're a teenager again. The most common of which is acute acne.\n \n\nTopamax may encourage you to stop smoking. Maybe not as well as Zyban (bupropion), but it certai

Antibiotics, including Sulfa, which you are taking can affect your sense of taste while taking them.  You sense of taste will return when you are done with the medication.\n\nThis is not an allergy, rather a common side effect.  You do not gain an "immunity" to antibiotics.  It might be possible after taking several prescriptions for infections...probably not completing the prescription...that the bacteria mutate and become resistant to the antibiotic, thereby rendering it useless.

aspartame is a poison.  it certainly effects brain chemistry.  has been linked to the same systems as Parkinson's.

It's slowly killing them. It can cause a loss of electrolytes that can cause heart failure or brain damage, it will certainly cause a dependency on laxatives. BAD IDEA.

I think I posted that Homeopathic remedy !\nARSENICUM ALBUM 200, three drops in a sip of water every four hours.Always take them half hour before or after meals meaning always on an empty stomach. Avoid Chocolates Coffee Mints and Red Meat while taking Homeopathic Medicines. Keep me posted about your progress.\nTake care and God Bless.

I would not recommend it. From what I've read no one should really be using the artifical sweetners and it appears that it could worsen MS. I've included a few articles for you. Good Luck! \n\nIt Mimics Multiple Sclerosis\nWhen the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F., the wood alcohol in Aspartame converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. (Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants.) The methanol toxicity mimics multiple sclerosis; thus people were being diagnosed with having multiple sclerosis in error. The multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, where methanol toxicity is. In the case of systemic lupus, we are finding it has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. Also, with methanol toxicity, the victims usually drink three to four 12 oz. cans of them per day, some even more.

For most of us (and I'm a user) the side effects are minimal. A flushed condition on the face, a little nausea, temporary blurred vision. You may not even get any of those things. For me, it's only a temporary flushed face (which my girlfriend says she doesn't even notice). You hear about those four hour erections (which can be dangerous and you definitely should get to a doctor!) but they are extremely rare. There are a few guys who shouldn't take it at all, in particular those taking nitrite drugs for their heart (it can KILL THEM!!!) but for the majority of men (usually us older guys) it does what it is supposed to with few if any minor side effects. See a doctor to make sure it's okay for you. Most likely he'll give you a prescription and a free sample pack.

No, I don't use it in that manner. It's a great cough suppressant, though. You can actually kill yourself "Robotripping". I know of several deaths caused by it. You might want to rething that.

Like, calories? You want to consume it? Why? I think it's poisonous. Don't do it. And sorry if that isn't a good answer, I'm failing chemistry.

Afrin is very addictive.  You just need to stop using it cold turkey.  I know you will be miserable at first, but if you can hold out a couple of days your congestion will clear up on its own.  Good luck.

None of them ~ I think it is a bunch of unnecessary chemicals to consume ~ I would try and find something natural to drink instead ~ try smoothies with lots of fruit in them ~ they are way better for you and just as filling.

I have been taking topamax since January. Starting with 20 mg. After about a week  or so I noticed the tingling in my feet, almost like they were asleep. But that went away after about a month or two. I never have noticed bad tastes in my mouth.  And weight loss is a big plus. I have lost 30 lbs since January, not even exercising because I have a knee injury. You will probably have no appetite... That was the first thing I noticed you have to force yourself to eat. I am now up to 100 mg a day and the only side effect is still the weight loss.
