I wanted to share what had happend to me over the last month while dieting for the summer.
I went on a low carb diet to lose 10 pounds a month or so ago.I started drinking crystal light pink lemonade along with water.Probably about 2 liters a day of the lemonade,I was even using it to mix my drinks with.
I did not worry so much about the warnings about the stuff because I've known girls that have been living off diet coke for years without any problems.
I thought that I had injured my foot at work and went to the doctor to have it looked at because I was limping and in pain.They had taken a xray and gave me some anti inflamatories and it seemed to get better,,nothing was broken.
After a week I still had mild pain and noticed while walking my ankles were starting to hurt so started to worry.Also last week my wrists were starting to hurt also.
I started some research and found studies where people developed arthritis from aspartame and after stopping returned to normal so a few days ago I stopped and now all is good..here is a link that lists side effects. I would recommend not to use any artificial sweeteners.
