  Hi Ira,
  I can not confirm nor deny this information. I can say that I do not drink
  or eat anything diet though. I personally don’t take Aspartame either. I
  simply think it is very bad for people, especially growing children. I find
  it very distressing that children drink this stuff and it is in foods that
  children would find appealing. The information that I have read confirms my
  own personal beliefs, which I am not willing to change at this point. My
  belief is that diet stuff is bad for people. It seems to me that as I look
  around at my friends and acquaintances who drink the diet drinks that they
  are just getting fatter. It certainly doesn’t seem to be working to help
  them to lose weight. In fact, it seems to be doing just the opposite from
  the people I know. I don’t know if it is the diet drinks themselves or not.
  The other foods seem to replace the low-fat with high sugar. To me, this is
  worse than the fat.
  I probably am not the person to respond to this, because I think that
  
  juicing store bought fruits and vegetables can have lots of pesticides in
  them. I do juice, but, I tend to grow my own produce or buy it from people
  who I know don’t put chemicals on it. So, I can only imagine what kinds of
  chemicals would be in store bought juice, which is what I’m assuming this
  study used.
  I feel like I’m rambling. I’m not really sure what this subject has to do
  with liver/gallbladder cleansing unless you are concerned about the quality
  of the apple juice you are using to fast with. If that is the case, for the
  cleanse, I think it is pretty un-important in the big picture. The most
  important thing is to actually do the cleanse to help the body rid itself of
  these stones.
  Just my opinion on the subject,
  Karma

  Susie,
  I agree with you. Do you remember a sugar free candy called Velamints.
  I don’t know if aspartame was in it but it would give me such gas pressure
  that at times I thought I was having a heart attact, so I don’t mess with
  foods like that .

  The stomach acid problems were most likely caused by the carbonation
  in the diet cola. Carbon dioxide gas added to water makes carbonic
  acid (H2CO3). The little H+ ions floating around are identical to
  those present in any inorganic acid solution.

  hmm…..that’s funny, Ira. Occasionaly I have a regular Coke and never have
  the same problem, but once just to see how it affected me, i.e., if I wasn’t
  dreaming or anything, about 3 months after I gave up diet drinks, I happened
  to try a diet coke at a friend’s house. I had the same problem with my
  stomach.
