The artificial sweeteners that are in most diet drinks, such as diet Coke will kill you, eventually. The National Cancer Institute identified a significant and impressive increase in brain cancer starting in about 1984.

Some scientists identified that in 1983 humans began consuming something never before consumed by humans — aspartame, a chemically created substance acting as a sugar alternative — and this is the cause of the big increase in brain cancer

Alot of aspartame had been consumed by Americans, how much? About 6.9 million pounds after aspartame was introduced to artificial sugar and diet drinks in 1984. The next year the amount was doubled, it continued increasing into '90s and the increase happened on the same time as brain cancer.

From 1984-1987, other cancers outside the brain basically remained the same or declined. However, brain cancer rates shot up

Because 10% of chemical subtances, after congestion, becomes free methyl alcohol (wood alcohol), a poison. Scientist say "the poisonous effect of methyl alcohol and its methyl esters are well-known."

Even small amounts of this poison can lead to blindness and death. The “miniscule” amounts in our common foods and drinks seem to lead to cancer

Just a thought, would be to cut artificial sweeteners out of your diet, except Stevia.

I don't drink COKE zero, I've just seen alot of people have that as their favorite drink, I drink ordinary COKE, I just always liked the polar bear commercials. If I dont drink COKE what would happen to those innocent polar bears.

Stevia is grown in China, Brazil etc and is now being sold in packet form. I am pretty sure that the FDA has not approved it citing some mutagenecity concern.

I have used it and is quite good. However, there seems to be a danger of Stevia bringing the blood sugar level really low. Diabetics especially have to monitor their blood sugar if they are taking Stevia as a sugar supplement, for this reason.

Touching on cancer, it is said that the fruit 'Sour Sop' has the greatest cancer killing and retarding agents and have been proven to be so.

Most things artifical are not good for you, when it is proven the real deal is better for you than the fake stuff. Liver can handle sugar better than sweetners and such. Remember Olestra? There was something that gave you a run for your money!
