Oh boy, I just bought a whole bunch of diet sodas only cause they were on sale
*groan* *smacks forehead*

Normally I drink water, tea, and coffee. That's it. Ocassionally orange juice. Oh and beer too (in moderation, I swear)

I just hate the idea of empty calories and when the diet sodas went on sale I thought hey, cool, I wouldn't mind mixing up my beverage selection.

I don't have headache or other "symptoms" (at least I don't think so) but my spidey-sense started tingling and I was like, wait a minute, could this Aspartame stuff be "bad" for me? Will it make me lose brain cells? Impotent? Memory loss?

It seems most store bought "lite" or diet drinks are made with aspartame. I will look for Splenda or maybe just stick to the ol' routine from before.

Thanks for your replies everyone, I really appreciate it.

Oh, Vincentt, why are you drinking diet anything right now? Your supposed to be gaining weight and bulking up.

*wags finger disapprovingly*

Did you find more food to eat over there? Load up on the teriyaki bowls maybe or teppanyaki. I think it's relatively cheap and pretty filling/higher calorie?

Well, I got 24 more cans to go, but maybe I'll reduce my intake to one-a-day.
