When I was a kid I was severely hyperactive. I was set off by any stimulant in my diet, red dye, caffeine, sugar, etc. It was so bad that I had to take special medication if I had a cold with nothing but the decongestant and other meds. I also was on a diet devised by Dr. Feingold to remove stimulants from my body.
Even now I can't drink diet drinks or some flavors of coffee. Also I can't use artificial sweeteners.

If you are one in ten thousand people who are PKU or carry the PKU gene, Phenylalanine can cause irreversible brain damage and death, especially when used in high quantities or during pregnancy. Phenylalanine is 50% aspartame, and to the degree humans consume diet products, Phenylalanine levels are reaching a dangerous peak." Of course the page is not unbiased as it does offer a detox diet - BUT - the info was interesting. Anyone else ever hear of this? Doesn't affect me as I don't touch artificial sweeteners with a ten-foot-pole ... But thought it might interest a lot of you diet soda junkies :P Cheers, Erika ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:145151 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
