Hi Everyone, I just got a call from my cousin who gave me the whole history of aspartame. He said it can cause MS. I told him " hey listen, I quit smoking, quit drinking, and now give up my diet coke, are you crazy" Well do you guys think? Do you think aspartame is bad for you and can make MS worse? Thanks Margaret.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
EATING PORK CAUSES MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
For years, the wide geographic differences in the prevalence of multiple sclerosis have baffled researchers.
Most studies have shown that rates are higher closer to the North and South Poles compared to places nearer the equator.
The cause has remained elusive, but now research by the University of Ottawa suggests pork may be to blame.
The scientists found a clear geographic link between total fat eaten and MS prevalence.
The link between the numbers of cases of MS and pork eating was highly significant, but no such relationship was found for beef, which was also tested.
The results are in line with reports that MS is rare in countries where pork is forbidden by religious customs, and that it has a low prevalence in countries like Brazil and Australia where beef consumption far exceeds pork.
One suggestion is that the fatty acids in pork increase vulnerability to damage, while those in beef do not.
PLUS!!! If the people who make these diet drinks KNOW the dangers in it, wouldn't that just piss you off!!! But I guess that these stupid tobacco companies know that cig's causes cancer, and they still make cig's!!!!
What a crazy world we live in!
so it didn't cause or worsen my m.s.
i don't know how long aspartame has been made but i'm betting that [people had m.s. long before it ever exhisted
it's not the best, but it's not the worst. if it's in our day to day foods it's not THAT deadly
