Early this year, I noticed that P&N-brand diet drinks did odd things to me. I often became grumpy or confused for no apparent reason half an hour or so after drinking them. They (even many of the non-diet flavours) contain Neotame, an Aspartame derivative, thank you Monsanto. So I no longer drink them. Currently chatting with a Queensland-based ex-truckie, ex-bikie, who is literally dying of Aspartame-based effects consequential on drinking heaps of diet drinks while trucking. His liver & his kidneys are failing. Endless odd pains & tweaks here & there. Not good. This (Texan) crew are quite big on the whole Aspartame thing. Bottom line: if you value having a life (or even value your life) don’t touch the stuff.
