Protein Shakes ... For Me? - Tuesday, December 28, 2004 10:37 PM ( #1 )
Hello, i am new here, and one reason has made me sign up, and that was to ask this question (I didnt know if you could post as guest)

I have aspartame poisoning, which means that ANY fake sugars, sorbital, saccharine, sucralose, aspartame, sodium saccharine, and im sure a dictionary full of other ones...

can anyone give me a company, or even just a shake brand that has NO artificial sweeeteners? i am just onc reatine alone, and my friend is on creatine and protein and hes getting very strong, i would like to start it, thank you

here's some that i found. i think they are all free of any fake sugars.

http://www.mmsupplements.com/shopping/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=28&cat=Whey+Protein+Concentrates

http://vhsports.stores.yahoo.com/x403.html this one contains crystalline fructose. i dont know if this counts

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/cn/whey.html this one has fructose and dextrose

im sure there's more

so what did you do to get aspartame poisoning? what were your symptoms? its really scary to read about all these artifical sugars. have you read how aspartame was approved by the FDA? now thats scary. i think people are nuts when they drink diet sodas. even this new one by splenda(sucralose) is garbage.

Yes very scary,,, i got it by drinking diet pop (1-3 a day) on an empty stomach, i went anorexic, thats why i am so skinny, and i just got over the intestinal infection the aspartame caused in me. i get hair loss from it, but i have some pills i am taking for the infection, and now i can eat almost anything, besides "pure soy" pruducts, fruits, and chocolates.

i know, not eating fruits can be bad, but until i am cured i will stick with my pills.

thanks for all those bro, this helps so much, i am actually going to buy protein shakes today i was hoping somebody had replied

that one contains ACELFAME-K, a fake sugar that i thought was illegal in USA, but not in canada, but it seems most products are coming out with it nowadays. the problem with this is that its so sweet the bodys white blood cells go on a frits, and by having too much a seizure can come way faster than just aspartame or sucralose, (Very scary)

i dont trust products that say "NO ASPARTAME"

if they say NO FAKE SUGARS then they are good, but aspartame seems to be the only thing people worry about these days, (With good reason) but its not the only thing on the market to watch for

that one contains ACELFAME-K,

sorry man, i guess i stopped reading the ingredients at dextrose and fructose. can't believe they needed to add acesulfame potassium too.

i just checked some really old weight gainer i had left over. probably back from 1997. its twin labs gainers fuel 2500 it has no artifical sweeteners. im sure they dont make it anymore though. why i still have this crap sitting around is beyond me. feels like 5 pounds left in the container too. what a waste.

sorry man but this stuff is from back in the day. i just never threw it out for some reason. but just because, it has
protein 74g
calories 2503
carbs 518 g
fat 15g

this was pretty good stuff for a skinny guy like me. i probably stopped working out and forgot about it back when i was a senior in high school in 97. it was cheap too. still has the price on it $33 for 9.31lbs. its like half full. still smells good but i think ill dump it.
