How sweet it is.

A friend I have likes to drink coffee. I myself have never really got into it. I am awake in the morning and at night if I am tired i go to bed. If I have to stay up well then I try to drink soda or turn the lights on. Anyways she puts in this stuff called Equal and alot of it.

First off let me say my thoughts before I do some research. Im not saying coffee is bad for you but I think anything that taste like dirt might not be the best thing to put in your body. Ok some people like coffee but have they always or have they just acquired the taste? Then comes the Equal. I dont know what it is but I have always pictured it as fake sugar, a substitute for fatties. "I dont want to get fat so I take this fake stuff" Keep in mind I never researched sugar vs. equal. Or anything like that so all my knowledge is from my past 22 or 23 yrs living.

So this is what I do. I Googled Equal vs. sugar and found a discussion and upon skimming down and I see this ".....I LOVE Equal, I have been using it for like 10 years with the attitude....if I get cancer from it, at least I am skinny (I know that's sick and wrong) but now I don't like the taste of anything else, even sugar. Is it addicting?

Then I stumble sweeteners and found some cases that sweeteners have been used to kill ants.

Then I found the FDA has received well over 10,000 aspartame related complaints and here is the proof.

I also have read.......Jennifer conducted an experiment proving aspartame, the artificial sweetener in diet soda, breaks down into two deadly neurotoxins when stored at room temperature and under refrigeration.
After a few weeks diet soda turned out to have formaldehyde in them and other BAD stuff.

I cant stop my type from being bold.

Also that link has a few more experiments with rats and monkey in the middle.
Im not one to overdue research but it seems bad things happen with sweeteners just by looking up sites for 1 hour. Seems you can have medical problems with artificial sweeteners. Ill personally stay away from them as much as I can but this isnt a research paper. I just dont like fake stuff. I have never liked diet anything. Its like this. Do I go see the bands that write their own music or are fake. Do you want the big screen television from SONY or do you want the box of a big screen in a furniture store? Do you go out and buy fake lottery tickets or would you want a chance to win something?

Onto coffee after again researching for about 30 mins. Ive read coffee can help prevent Parkinson's. And everyone knows that we don't want Parkinson's. There wasn't that much bad with coffee but if you drink coffee a lot and quit you will have withdraw problems. I should pry research a little more about coffee but im not interested.

One funny story a man was writing a blog on how coffee was so good but then in the middle he completely changed subjects because he refilled his cup and forgot what he was writing and started writing about itunes. He then reread his blog and realized he had addiction to coffee, his body wanted coffee and between walking to his kitchen and refilling his glass and satisfied his urges and walking back to his compy he totally forgot what he was saying.

I told my friend I was working on a blog for her and she asked what was in it and I told her, her response was......"What am I supposed to drink?..... WATER!?!!!"

Ill leave that up to her.

equal - bad
artificial sweetener - bad
diet soda - bad
coffee - alright
addiction - bad
coffee/diet soda/90 packs of equal/one cup a day - highly awake suicide
