A painful sugarfree stomach

I am a little bit of it Altoids addict, I pop them like candy. Well I guess they are candy, but they are curiously strong candies that I seem to have no version eating one after the other the entire tin cans gone.

So that is why my wife figured it would be good to buy me the many candies as opposed to the regular size, something to help cut down my addiction..

Last night I ate an entire small can of Altoids.. they tasted a little bit different they still have the kick that I needed.

And it made my stomach turn to rot.
I could not believe the pains I having and the gastrointestinal issues only five minutes after eating my last one..

That’s when I did my due diligence, looked at the can, and realized that the mini candies are sugarfree, replacing that sugar and corn syrup goodness with dangerous aspartame..

I swore off fake sugar and artificial sweeteners years ago, and every time I have anything that contains aspartame I get immediate headaches and stomach pains. Last night I cursed Donald Rumsfeld as I tried to fall asleep, knowing that the deal worked out back last century led to this rat poison being in my body..

This morning I stopped at my local convenience store and bought a large box of Altoids.. they have sugar and I’m grateful for that.

I find it disturbing too.
Unlike them, however, I also find it equally unsettling to know they have no problem with aspartame and high fructose corn syrup..

Some researchers say sugar should be regulated as a toxin..

But ignorance surely is bliss. Keep the fructose high and don’t let mice near your aspartame … Tax the sugar but push the chemicals…?

Always the real thing. It’s diet. And now:

The Bitter Side of Diet Soda: Strokes

And you thought it was just aspartame you had to worry about..

You are what you eat, even when you're not quite sure what it is you're eating

Two studies confirm what people assume: 1) Students’ IQs are affected by their diets.. And 2) diet soda affects diets, and even could cause strokes..

Strokes rising fast in youth and middle aged populations..
…rise tied to diet sodas..

Another study concludes that a poor diet leads to a student’s lower IQ..
