Is diet coke bad to drink?
Side effects can include headaches, mood disorders, panic attacks – even neurological conditions and seizures. Aspartame turns into a harmful form of alcohol once ingested. I was a huge fan of diet sodas until doing some reading on the subject; now I only drink one as an occasional treat, not a daily habit. There is a documentary film called “Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World” by a woman named Cori Brackett re: aspartame. Further information can be found in the book, “Everything You Need to Know to Feel Go(o)d” by Candace Pert, Ph. D. , as well as on various websites on aspartame, Equal and Nutrasweet. Even if your friend could be gently exposed to some of this information, he/she might be encouraged to cut down. Good luck; you’re a good friend!
