I quit drinking diet anything cold turkey about 4 years ago when I found out that as Aspertame was digested by the body it is converted into formaldehyde and methanol, two very bad poisons. I couldn't do that to my body any longer.
The nice side effect of no more Aspertame was after about two months I no longer suffered from migrane headaches, and the chronic depression started to lessen. I find now that if I take a drink from someone's diet soda for any reason, I will wake up with a migrane the next morning. No more direct correlation than that.
I would hope that the fact that it is called "artificial" would be a good indication that it shouldn't go in one's body.
And thank you Pop_Rivit for injecting some reality into this thread. I used to be a gambler in a former life and always denied that it was a problem. One day I realized that I had complete control of whether or not I played and quit right on the spot. No blaming an addiction or anything like that, because it was a conscience decision each and every time I went to the casino that I had control over.
