Scary, isn't it? Not to mention all that high-fructose corn syrup they put in there. This is why I gave up on soda entirely, 10 months ago. That, combined with cutting out the junk food, eating more reasonably-sized portions at mealtimes, healthy snacks in between, a lot more water, and a modest amount of exercise 6 days a week helped me go from 194lbs to 144lbs in 6 months (Apr'04 - Oct'04). The shit they put in diet soda (aspertane, phenylalanine, etc.) is even worse.shir0 said:I am drinking a 7up with caffiene.
I have also noticed that said drink contains Ester of Wood Rosin.
What the fuck am I drinking.
chocostarfish said:what do they put in coke and sprite etc. as they never tell you 100% on the back of the can.
and what is this phylelenine shit, everytime i drink something with this stuff it gives me gas/shits and also it has a funny taste to it. i have noticed more drinks are having this ingredient inside them.

Stinky-Dinkins said:Wopat is your father? Technically his faulty seed is to blame.
genjiglove said:Wopat is 50 years old. And gay as all get out.
Stinky-Dinkins said:You could say he's the Mr. Brady of big stupid assholes. He's not anything like Mr. Brady I suppose, but he is gay. All gay people are the same.

PinkPeach said:Phenylalanine is not bad in itself, even more it is something you must ingest because your body cannot synthetize it and it is essential (it is used to build some neurotransmeters).
In your drinks you won t find phenylalanine itself, but a compound of phenylalanine and aspartic acid which has even more sugar taste than aspartam alone.
The problem is that there is side effect to an excess of ingestion of that compound and that s hands and body shaking. That s not because of phenylalanine but because of aspartam, since it gets decomposed into phenylalanine and formic acid which is neurotoxic.
However, there are people who cannot metabolize Phenylalanine and for them that kind of drinks can be lethal (the phenylalanine stacks up in blood and induces severe neural destruction).
As said, drink a lot of water insteadKeep the soda for once in a while.
