One of the things that was happening to me which I really didn't mention here much but I get sick often. I get real bad headaches. It gets to a point that no matter where I am, I have to sleep.
If I'm in the car, I have to pull over and rest and rest for hours if needed till the pain goes away. I wondered why and just thought to myself, well I just get sick. Then I looked at what I was doing on life. I was eating good. I could work out again but even when I did, I still got sick. What was it?
Well I heard something which I should have known but never wanted to find out about it. It was Aspartame. You might ask, What's that? It's funny because when it comes to vaccinations I'm the first to ask what's in it. Aspartame is what I was drinking.
Why would I do such a thing? Well it was in my Diet Coke Soda that I thought was ok to drink. Next question might be, What exactly is Aspartame? Aspartame is 50% phenylalanine, 40% aspartic acid, and 10% methanol. The primary breakdown products of these chemicals are formaldehyde, formic acid and DKP (Diketopiperazine) a proven brain tumor agent.
This is what I was drinking on a daily basis in my DIET COKE. I became addicted to it. There wasn't a day that went by that I didn't want to drink my soda. I had to have it and I didn't even realize what it was doing to me.
What are the side effects of Aspartame. Well?

I know it's a ton to take in but before you drink that soda. Know what you are putting in your body. What I am currently going through is marked above. Can drinking soda really give you all of this? The answer is Yes it can.
The good thing is I might have found the issue before it really causes damage. As of today, no more Soda. Although I know I will miss it because it is addictive, I need to make sure I maintain because I have a family who needs me and I don't need to do anything dangerous or stupid that could cost me my life.
So the next time you put something in your body. Think before you Drink.
Ok tomorrow or the next I will post a Jesse memory. Till then...
