Diet Additives are worse then High Fructose Corn Syrup!?

[Robert Frisbee]

I was reading an aviation magazine today,  keeping up on the latest Buzz. (get it.. Har har)  anyhow,  I ran across an Article entitled "Diet Soda's Fat Friend, or Foe?"  Welll..  I know that Saccrine and Aspartame are bad for you,  Aspartame brakes down into harmful chemicals in the brain.  But it does more!!. 

I personally have been trying to loose my mid-section fat. and it turns out that Artificial sweeteners actually CAUSE it!.

Check out the article here in a funky online magazine layout..  http://www.pageturnpro.com/AircraftOwner/39035-86-AircraftOwner-May...

Doing more research (I tend to not believe things without doing my own grunt work) I ran across another site on Facebook.  http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=211773975519617  Which talks about MORE problems not covered in the aviation Article.

They are actually looking into Diet drinks causing more brain damage then Alcoholism and it might come to pass that pilots will not be allowed to drink it before flying because it affects the decision making capabilities of the brain!.

Artificial sweeteners are one of the worst possible things someone can consume. They are known to cause cancer,and many other problems. I never drink soda (organic or not); but If I was ever forced to choose between a normal soda or a diet soda,I would take the normal lol.
