" If you experience any of these symptoms when you drink diet soda
STOP! It is known to cause migraines, heart palpitations, insomnia, seizures, breathing difficulties, memory loss, vertigo, joint pain and nausea. These symptoms can lead to many diseases and disorders that I stated above. Airline pilots are not allowed to consume products with Aspartame because of these risks and luckily for us they do not."
I was just googling around and found this. Being middle aged and trying to leave more room for delicious in-between dive snacks the boat crew makes fun of me for drinking diet. I have heard it many times it is not good for you, but these symptoms look like someone has been diving way too much. Airline pilots are special. Nobody wants to fall out of the sky, but I am special too. I have never made the link to any of the symptoms and they do talk about 16 cans of soda per day to get enough aspartame. I really don't care for the taste and if I just drink water I can still eat that extra fish taco. I just read those symptoms again and I do not want them.
60 Minutes did a segment on this also. The commercial airline pilot warning I get, but should scuba divers be more aware also ?
