Are you all aware of the dangers of diet / sugar free food and drink? Aspartame. This sweetener is marketed under a number of trademark names, including Equal, NutraSweet, and Canderel, and is an ingredient of approximately 6,000 consumer foods and beverages sold worldwide. It is commonly used in diet soft drinks, and is provided as a table condiment in some countries. It is also used in some brands of chewable vitamin supplements and common in many sugar-free chewing gums and has now been found in some chewing gums that are not sugar free. However, aspartame is not always suitable for baking because it often breaks down when heated and loses much of its sweetness. In the European Union, it is also known under the E number (additive code) E951. Aspartame is also one of the sugar substitutes used by people with diabetes. Because sucralose, unlike aspartame, retains its sweetness after being heated, it has become more popular as an ingredient. This, along with differences in marketing and changing consumer preferences, has caused aspartame to lose market share to sucralose. Aspartame has been the subject of controversy regarding its safety and the circumstances of its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Some critics believe it to be the cause of a number of illnesses, but no conclusive scientific evidence has been produced to support the validity of their theories. To this day, the health effects of aspartame have been under intensive study. The artificial sweetener aspartame has been the subject of public controversy regarding its safety since the 1980s and the circumstances around its approval, and its shelf stability. Some studies recommended further investigation into any possible connection between aspartame and diseases such as brain tumors, brain lesions, and lymphoma. These findings, combined with alleged conflicts of interest in the approval process, have been the focus of vocal activism regarding the possible risks of aspartame. The conspiracy theories, claims of aspartame dangers, and the source of those claims has been the subject of critical examination. In 1987, the US Government Accountability Office concluded that the food additive approval process had been followed for aspartame. Based on government research reviews and recommendations from advisory bodies such as the European Commission’s Scientific Committee on Food and the Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives, aspartame has been found to be safe for human consumption by more than ninety countries world-wide. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration states that the safety of aspartame is "clear cut" and "one of the most thoroughly tested and studied food additives the agency has ever approved."

I think my friend is crash dieting & I don't know what to do!? My friend is 15 yrs old, 5'4", and 135 lbs. She is not overweight at all, but her mother keeps telling her she has a "poochy stomach." Now, she's barely eating, she skips breakfast and throws away most of her lunch. Instead of eating, oftentimes she just drinks water. This past week she's been extremely tired, irritable, moody, low-energy. Occasionally she'll make a comment about how I'm thin. I've confronted her and told her she's not fat. I even calculated her BMI to prove it. I've told her the risks of crash dieting, and told her she needs to be careful she's eating enough to be healthy. She denies being on a diet at all though, and says she's simply "not hungry." She gets mad at me whenever I try to talk to her about the dangers of crash dieting. I'm really worried, but how am I supposed to help a friend who doesn't want help???

***Splenda and Diet Soda dangers.... ? I have heard that Splenda is dangerous because of it's chlorine makeup and lack of human studies of the effects. My mother is overweight and seems to think everything she eats should be sugar-free with a Splenda alternative. Is this bad for her? What argument could I use to get her to understand? Also, diet soda are just as dangerous because they cause weight gain. Do diet soda's such as diet coke contain the chemical aspartame which is really bad for you? Is it true that the make up of diet sodas can cause the early onset of Alzheimer's? I need another argument for my mother for her to think twice about diet drinks as well.

How can I lose about 10lbs in 2 weeks? I am 124lbs, 5'3. I have never been overweight and in my early twenties I ate everything and anything and was struggling to get up to 100lbs. Now I've grown a serious midsection which is really uncomfortable. Let me just state right away, I am aware of drastic dieting dangers and I would really appreciate it if the answers didn't include any warnings about those dangers. I know the basic answers like, eat lots of vegetables and exercise, I am not really looking for those either. Something more specific would be highly appreciated, something you've tried before perhaps, or someone you know has and it worked. I also don't like the gym. I swim at times but I can't swim more than 3 times a week, 40 minutes each time. I would like to keep that swimming plan, without intensifying it. But I welcome any suggestions for home exercises. It would be great if you could give me some ideas and snack tips. I know that miso soup usually curbs my appetite. What should I avoid under any circumstances? What little exercises can I do at home? Is there a special diet I can follow to shed the midsection FAST. (I think there is that master cleanser diet, but I work and go to school, I am afraid I'll pass out without any food). If 10lbs is not possible without passing out, what's the maximum? 5 lbs is the minimum for me. Thanks very much in advance! Let me just emphasize some points: * I can only swim 3 times a week, 40 minutes at a time. *I will not change the routine, but home exercise is welcome. *It would probably be best to lose around 7lbs. *My main concern is my OVERRIPE BELLY, it's PRETTY CHUNKY *I don't like vitamins or diet pills. *The master cleanser diet scares me because I don't know if I can work and go to school (from 8am - 9pm I am on my feet) without any food. Would it work? For those who think I am normal weight, my stomach doesn't suit me and I am quite petite, so every inch shows and I feel heavy. Thanks for the kind words though.

I need to loose alot of weight in a short period of time: Any crash-course suggestions? Ok, I'm 5'7'' and I weigh almost 140 pounds. I'd like to weigh a little of a hundred pounds, if that's possible. Yes, you read the title correctly. I've tried those 'suggested' and 'healthy' diets and i got NO results. In fact, I looked even worse after I went to them. So yes, I do want crash course diet suggestions. I've been on crash course diets before. I stopped eating and when i did eat it was nothing but caffines and small salads or a half of a sandwhich. I went from 160 to 130. AWESOME! That was in a month. But then I did the typical yo-yo thing and suddenly when I started eating again, I binge ate and my weight shot back up. I want some extreme dieting suggestions that maybe don't result in binge eating or the yo-yo effect. I KNOW THE DANGERS OF CRASH DIETS!!! I understand that they can lead to malnutrition and death. Quite honestly, whatever. I don't mind! If things get bad, I'll stop the diet. Do not come here telling me how stupid I am. Idgaf!

When you SPEND valuable TIME with troubled individuals, do you get any positive functional CHANGE back? We have elements of society who grind and gnash their teeth over the welfare of others and spend their time on cocaine and heroin, pretending to care, but oft times saying that the solution to problems in society is to "kill" the enemies of our country and their acquaintances including innocent men, women, children and all. And we have elements of our society who are not sensitive to the dangers that lurk in their diets and the air that they breathe and the communication that they make, the silence, the use of the words like always, never, and everything and prideful expressions, pushing away any who would share their advice saying things like "I'm good.", "I'm all set.", when their diet or other habits appear to be killing them. Outside observers can sometimes penetrate these walls, but often not. Have you ever penetrated the walls of this kind of dysfunction and gotten positive results back? If so, maybe I can learn from you! Please be specific.

How can I fit into jeans by Friday? Firstly to anyone who wants to warn me about the dangers of fad diets - thanks for concern but i do know all the dangers and i wouldn't use one long term so please don't warn me! i will listen to my body and stop if i need to. so my question is that i want to lose a few pounds by friday. i know i can't lose that in fat by friday but i can lose water and bloating and maybe tone up just about enough to squeeze into jeans. what i need to know is if any of you have managed this? And how? what food or drinks did you eat to aid de-bloating and losing superficial weight (i just made that term up hope it makes sense!). any tips much appreciated. i'm willing to do anything that will combine to have some sort of effect however small. just to boost confidence for a stupid party thanks hard_n_te i didn't need to think about it 3 months ago because i am not fat i just need to lose about half a stone and i know for a fact it is possible to make at least a small difference in a couple days however temporary. by admitting it's temporary and that i can't lose weight properly in two days, surely that is me accepting my size

Dangers of a low/underweight BMI? I've been hearing a lot about BMI recently and there's a lot of information about obesity but none on being underweight. Apparantly a BMI of lower than 20 is underweight. My BMIs 16 so is there any danger in this? I've never dieted and in fact have tried to gain weight in the past but with no success. I eat a very healthy diet... 3 meals a day along with snacks, at least 5 fruit+veg a day, 3 portions of wholegrains a day, nuts, tofu etc. I don't eat healthy to keep my weight down... I just dont want to put many processed foods in my body. I used to eat very unhealthy fatty foods but my weight was the same then as it is now. Admittedly I don't exercise much but other than that I'm generally very healthy. So why do the experts say my BMI is unhealthy? What are the dangers of having a low BMI and what's my fate if I've tried but can't gain weight? Thanks Ghettoca :o) My body fat percentage is 17-18% by the way... is that ok? Thanks for your answer sam but I can assure you that it's not easy putting on weight when you're genetically very skinny. I'm 22 now and throughout my teens I tried to gain weight... I went to a dietician and was eating so much food at one point that I actually felt ill most of the time (and no I'm not bulimic!). For years I just couldnt put on weight even though I really wanted to (it's not only obese kids that get teased about their weight). All that eating wasn't making me put on weight and I was feeling miserable and full all of the time so I gave up. I can assure you I eat a very healthy amount now and am not a fussy eater. I just dont understand why people say it's unhealthy to have such a low BMI when I'm generally very healthy and eat as much as anyone else. I can't understand how I can be 'malnourished' when I eat a normal amount of food.

Liposuction dangers? One of my friends has been dieting and exercising for the last year. She looks great!

Has anyone had this procedure and if so, what was your experience? Am I justified being concerned or over reacting? I'm not looking to have this procedure. I just want to know if there are dangers/risks involved. Was my question that unclear?

But what about all the products that are just using phenylalanine as a substitute for sugar? What are the dangers of phenylalanine, on its own, not as a part of aspartame? Should we cut it out of our diets completely?

How many people have done this? My wife and I have a 4' ball python, a 3' luecistic rat snake and a 8" western hognose snake in a aquarium together. We heard about the dangers of doing such but being that their diet doesn't consist of other snakes we figured it would be okay. All 3 snakes get along fine and sleep curled up together. I was just wondering who else has cohabitated snakes, with what kinds, and with what results?

Can someone give me a reliable internet site where I can buy phentermine without a prescription? I know the dangers of it and I really don't want people to tell me that I should diet and exercise because I am already doing that but I still can't seem to lose any weight. So, please just give me the answer to the question I am asking. Thanks.

Whatdoes it mean when you are CONSTANTLY THIRSTY, but to bloated to drink? I work outdoors and my legs began to cramp quite significantly. It just does not feel like hydrating is working. I do practice small moderations of water throughout the day. ( Approx. 20 oz evry 2-3 hours). I have also used bananas in my diet. Am I in any danger of dehydration ?

What would be the long-term effects of an extremely limited diet? I'm thinking of this with reference to, say, a five-year old. All the doctors, magazines, books, etc, say if your child goes through a phase of eating only one food, you shouldn't force him. They say he'll get out of it in a matter of days. What if, however, a child has a list of about 4 or 5 foods he'll eat- and the mother allows it? And what if it goes not for days but years? What problems could it cause? If it matters the foods in question are: 1. Spaghetti (noodles and sauce, no meat or veggies) 2. pizza (meat, cheese, and sauce, still no veggies) 3. peanut butter and jelly sandwich (occasionally) 4. grits 5. pepperoni and cheese on crackers I see that this does cover many food groups but what vitamins might a kid miss by refusing a fuller diet? (He does drink juice incidentally, about a full 48 ounce bottle a day.) Is he in any nutritional danger? Is something he's missing the reason that he cannot get over a cold he's had for 3 months? Any thoughts, please. For the record, I am in an awkward position as the father's girlfriend and have no influence whatsoever. I have known this child since before he ate solids and this is what he has eaten all his life. If you make him try something new, he does not swallow it- he holds it in his mouth, gags, and eventually if you don't let him spit it out he'll vomit.

What is a good website that gives strong but accurate admonitions against feeding a dog table scraps? My family feeds our 12 year old, Bichon Frise all manner of table scraps. Usually breads, pasta, etc. They justify it by saying that it's only a little bit each time, but it makes up more than 10% of her diet. She is only slightly overweight, so that is not the major concern, but a dog's stomach and digestive system are not adapted well for processed foods such as what they feed her. They get mad at me for telling them that it's bad for her, and say "oh, she's old," or "oh, it's only a little bit." Where can I go on the web for an informative (but hopefully strongly worded...I need to shock them into realizing this!) page on the dangers of this habit? They don't seem to care that her behaviour revolves completely around feeding and begging, so something that mentions non-behaviour problems would be best. Maybe if they hear it from a professional they will listen!

I need to loose weight about 70 lbs or 30 kgs. how can I get in to a good diet? I was over weight all my life and been through different kind of Diets and hard exercises and even tried so many kinds of food suppliments and fat burner peels.

I'm working so much by the computer and at this time I have 30 kgs over weight and I also suffer from Tyroid problem. I need seriouse help I know my health and my life is in danger but I just lost hops.

How many hours a day should I ride the stationary bike to lose weight? I'.m 5'7" with a 30 1/2" waist. Although my doctor says this is great and it's under the 35" danger point, I still have some flab there. I had a 35" waist five weeks ago, so I am happy, happy about that! I would like to get it to 27" and A LOT flatter. I hear CARDIO! CARIDO! Okay, but how much? I have a stationary bike, how many hours a week (or day) should I do? By the way, my diet is clean, I only take in 1500 (sometimes even less 1200) caleries a day. I work out 6 days a week for an hour a day. 30,iminutes cardio, 30 minutes strength training. i'm a 42 year old woman and never had children. Thanks for your advise in advance! Okay, I don't need the detox diet thing. That only messes up my metabolism (slows it down) I just need to know how much cardio on the bike do I need to achieve PERMENATE WEIGHT lose. We all know that once you fast as soon as you eat as much as a grape, your body is going to hang on to every fat gram and carb before the next "famine"

Does anyone one have any information on the bread and butter diet? I need some infomation on this fad diet. In particular the dangers of it , for a school project.

Dieting help please? Hi, I'm 16 years old and am not overweight, but i still want to be skinnier. I have an hour of fitness class Mondays through Fridays, so I do exercise; but I really want to figure out a way to diet or any way to lose some weight - and keep it off. My big problem is that my mom is against diets completely, every time she so much as suspects that I'm dieting I get this long speech from her (which I'm sure I've already memorized). So you can see my problem; how do I lose weight but not get suspected of dieting? And yes, I'm looking for a good amount of weight loss, so don't lecture me about the dangers please. Thank you!

Diet pills...? My roomate (who was never fat to begin with, just little thick) has been taking 'Farenheight' for about a year now and has lost a lot of weight, she now has the perfect body. What are the dangers of diet pills? I've heard that they're help you lose weight, but after you stop taking them, your metabolism is screwed up forever and you'll begin gaining more weight than you were gaining before you started the pills. Is this true?
