  • Aspartame was recently placed on the World Health Organizations list of possible carcinogens to humans. The news went wild, with claims of "aspartame, the popular sweetener found in diet coke, has been linked to cancer". However this doesn't tell the whole story. Does aspartame give you cancer? How much aspartame is safe? Should you stop drinking diet coke?! Let's discuss!

    Some of my greatest memories in 2022 were from Nurse Liz Videos. Also the live videos & guest panel contributors.
    It’s heart breaking Nurse Liz isn’t around now days! There was SO much we were learning!
    There was So much value myself & all my neighbors got from being active on your channel.
    We absolutely miss you & our UA-cam experience is significantly lessened without Nurse Liz updating us & keeping us sharp.
    We all miss you & thank you for all the memories.
    Please consider a return!! Please, please, please!

    Not sure youll see this comment. But i really appreciate yoy posting your personal journey with anxiety and depression. I rewatch your videos whenever I feel like giving up on my lexapro and finding an alternative path. Ive been dealing with severe depression for years and finally got help. Its been a little over 3 weeks and oh my gosh what a rollercoaster! One day I feel like Im great and the next morning I start it off by crying and being frustrated. So, I really appreciate as a nurse your personal take on antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications. It's been very helpful.

    I will never, ever, ever stop consuming red meat and Diet Coke. Ever. The only way you could get me to stop is a large sum of money. Maybe I'll take a million dollars. MAYBE.

      But then… what would you buy with a million dollars if NO Diet Coke, what’s the point :(
      But seriously, Diet Coke w flavor added is just like… divine. I don’t smoke cigarettes, I’m generally eating a very healthy diet, I exercise, so I will allow myself Diet Coke.

    As a general rule I do not consume anything that has artificial sweeteners, aspartame or otherwise. They cause me to feel sick and give me migraines. I am kind of concerned how much artificial sweeteners are used outside of "sugar-free" or "diet" products and that are available for children to consume. It just doesn't seem healthy for them. I know that a child with phenylketonuria has to avoid them but I haven't read up if artificial sweeteners are harmful for healthy children, no phenylketonuria dx.

    • @NurseLiz
      @NurseLiz  11 місяців тому

      They are definitely in a bunch of stuff. Which is so hard when they cause things like inflammation and migraines for some people. It's wild in general how much sweeteners (sugar included) are in all of our foods. That could be a whole different tangent

  • @jamie5mauser
    @jamie5mauser 11 місяців тому +2

      Studies abound for everything, though. I'm with you, I don't care about it, but there are studies showing an increase in insulin on consumption of aspartame. Don't believe it, but apparently they exist. I'm scrupulous about these things, though, so I haven't read 'em, nor will I ever.

    the problem is not about it being a carcinogen, the problem is the FDA approving it to be used as a sweetener for our everyday products like diet soda. I knew that aspartame is more dangerous than sugar, but an organization that has all the resources couldn't figure it out. Hmm...so, much to say about our institution's design to protect the masses

    Can we say "because" in that way? I might drink soft drinks with aspartame because I eat junk and I think it's better. A friend and I used to joke about ordering diet coke with our crappy lunch, but, whilst I don't recommend that lunch, it is objectively better with the diet drink. I don't think much of the crap epidemiology out there tells us the because.

    Every once in a while i come to see , if you are actually seeing what is going on yet.
    Your downplay of this is staggering and alarming.
    Do no harm. Does that mean anything to you. So you trust " the who " when its convenient for you but feel you are more intelligent than them , also when it is convenient for you.
    Im curious do you get paid by any of these non government no elected regulating entities? Obviously its a question i do not believe you would answer honestly if you did.
    Yes aspartame is a dangerous carcinogen. The who rolls these warnings out when the synthetic food industry is ready to roll something new out so everyone will switch.
    This is not rocket science.
