LOL I never had withdrawals from not eating McD's burgers... I did have moderate withdrawal headaches from ceasing consuming NutraSweet aka Aspartame.

Strange, certain people in my... family, have neurological damage caused by phenylalanine and aspartame. Some kind of degeneration of nerve groupings, or something stupid like that. Is that normal?
PS: The withdrawal thing was something my biology teachers mentioned, so it probably isn't true.

I was a Diet Pepsi addict for like 8 years or so. I read about the "controversy" and decided I would take their suggested 60-day challenge. I am about 40 days into it. I have noticed that my lower back pain is significantly reduced, my minor acne is even less, my appetite is significantly reduced... I also used to have problems with my blood glucose level getting low several times a day. This doesn't happen anymore.
Other people have mentioned feeling like they were in a "brain fog" and were better when they stopped using aspartame, but I don't feel any different mentally.
The reduced appetite and reduced back pain alone are good enough reasons not to drink that shit anymore.
I'm the bawss.

I did something I now regret. I quit drinking soda. Every soda. Well, except sprite, because it's not completely bad for you.
Anyway, I lost like 40 pounds, and lost my immunity to caffeine. Also, every time I try to drink any soda other than sprite or Sundrop, it tastes like glue.

How do you know what glue tastes like?
Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
