I drink a metric fuck ton of diet coke but unless it's in by another name, it doesn't contain fructose (glucose or sucrose.)

Might be an American thing though.

Apparently its the Phenylalalalalalalalanine we should be worrying about. (I have no idea why though...)

Aspartame and Phenylalanine are in practically every sugar-free thing.

Your body turns it into methanol and poisons you. Tasty stuff.

A friend who got a PHD in Genetics told me about these suger free chemcals years ago and ever since I drink full fat Coke as I would rather be over weight than have a cancer drink.

surely thats just fruit sugar?

[Phoenix]

I don't think plums contain corn syrup, no idea what is actually in it but I would guess not exactly the same constituents that make up your fruit. It's in everything in America but not here we have slightly more strict ingredient regulations. I don't know the full facts on artificial sweeteners but have been told they're actually poisonous and damage your brain, I have always thought (without knowing this first) that there's something iffy about them though, I'd rather risk my health with natural sugar than put sweeteners in things and I don't touch 'diet' varieties except 'light' mayonnaise.

HFCS is highly refined.

It's used loads in the USA because they grow shitloads of maize.

We tend to use sugar from beet (grown here) and cane (grown from our old Caribbean colonies) in our food manufacture.

HFCS is the reason most yanks are so fucking fat.

Oh, and the article in the link has nothing to do with Diet Coke or any diet drink, as it's talking about a type of sugar. Diet Coke is sweetened with aspartame (an artificial sweetener - not from corn )

Aye, Molly put it up on facebook, and I had a little snoop about and double checked. Only things I can remember containing HFCS et al are Lucozade/Powerade etc.

Although that might be high-glucose syrup.

As for the Aspartame = cancer thing, meh, I don't drink enough to care, and I'm a smoker. Give a fuck. Life is carcinogenic.

My sister refuses to eat low fat stuff because of the trans-fats. Shes a morbidly obese chemist. Link perhaps?

cancer is a fake illness that doesn't exist, it been made up by the government to control you.

even my girlf who has had this made up disease is begining to agree with me.

other look you have a scratch on your toe, its cancer.
don't eat that, it'll give you cancer. and so on, and so on.

cancer doesn't exist.

Was there not something in Diet Pepsi that made you seedless?

Also, sausages can give you cancer. It was in the Daily Mail. The chap who sits behind me swore blind he'd never eat another sausage.

I love sausages, I can't get enoug of them so it comes as a huge relief that cancer is in fact not real.

Or something.

Isn't Methanol a form of alcohol? If so, that should be a good thing no?

I had an old flatmate who used to lecture me about aspartamine, I honestly could give a fuck, I was buying 6 packs of diet tango that was loaded with the stuff for 50p from a cheapo store below our flat. I never understood how someone who was on the large size and smoked 40 a day could care so much about this chemical and berate me about it constantly.

There are major issues involving alternatives for sugar. We never really know what we're drinking and eating from all those processed foods. Woody has a good point. Would rather gain weight than gain cancer.

Well the thing is everything is carcinogenic, people in the olden days didn't get cancer as they would seldom live beyond 35 years old so before their DNA even got a chance to be damaged, they would already be in the ground.

Last pure food I ate was probably Siberia or Mongolia, where I watched a goat be slaughtered.

And of course it's quite possible those people died of cancer at their average age of 35 in some cases.
