some of the runners on a website I use refuse to drink Lucozade sport due to the levels of Aspartame in them.
| on that point, my local gym has been advertising some new sports drink called Taut recently. The posters claim it is the first "clean" sports drink.
anyone tried it ?

The most critical symptoms, alright I'll give you death and irreversible brain damage, but I'm not sure an increased addiction to sweets goes alongside those.

I wouldn't be so certain. You're forgetting that as individuals we are all largely unique and in that respect the effects of products like Aspartame will be difficult to accurately gauge. Then there's the flip side with large quantities of money being thrown around to keep it in the food chain.

I would stay away from all fizzy drinks, filling your body full of engineering chemicals and waste products etc isnt a good idea.

i massivly doubt that if it was so dangerous, that a big company such as Pepsi would use it, not because they give a damn what happens to their customers, but because they would get sued to oblivion.

iirc there's a conpiracy theory that a truckload of diet coke left out in the kuwaiti sun produced some sort of chemical reaction to the aspartame and that's what caused "gulf war syndrome".
