Drikk pepsi maxen din med god samvittighet du. Det er mange som tror den hindrer vektnedgang, sannsynligvis tror de det på grunn av målefeil.

Det er ikke riktig for alle - sukkerfri brus påvirker både blodsukker og insulin hos flere og dermed bruker kroppen det som vanlig sukker. Om man må ha en hormonell ubalanse i tillegg vet jeg ikke, men man kan legge på seg av det. Poster inn et svar fra en blogg på nett:

ASPARTAME MAKES YOU FATTER!
Position Statement from Dr. Sandra Cabot
Mission Possible Australia
http://www.liverdoctor.com
I have been a medical doctor for over 25 years and have clinical and research interests in the liver and metabolism. I have authored several best selling health books including the “Liver Cleansing Diet”, “The Body Shaping Diet”, “Don’t Let Your Hormones Ruin Your Life”, “Women’s Health”, “Menopause and Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy” and I lecture internationally on these subjects. I have been consulted by thousands of patients with weight problems, hormonal imbalances, fatty liver, sluggish metabolism and chronic ill health. I have been an advocate and practitioner of nutritional methods of healing for 30 years. I regularly appear on national television and broadcast on many radio stations to educate people about the importance of a healthy liver in achieving good health and weight control!
In the interests of public health I am making a position statement concerning the use of the artificial sweetener called aspartame and sold most commonly under the names of NutraSweet and Equal. One must ask, “why do millions of people ingest a toxic chemical like aspartame everyday”? To me it appears ridiculous and I believe that it is because people have been brainwashed into thinking aspartame will keep their weight down and is good for health. It also shows me that we have lost touch with our own natural senses and instincts.
After having been consulted by thousands of overweight people suffering with problems concerning the liver and/or metabolism I can assure you that aspartame will not help you in any way, indeed it will help you to gain unwanted weight. This has been my experience, and there are logical reasons to explain the fattening and bloating effects of aspartame. When you ingest the toxic chemical aspartame it is absorbed from the intestines and passes immediately to the LIVER where it is taken inside the liver via the liver filter. The liver then breaks down or metabolizes aspartame to its toxic components – phenylalanine, aspartic acid and methanol. This process requires a lot of energy from the liver which means there will be less energy remaining in the liver cells. This means the liver cells will have less energy for fat burning and metabolism, which will result in fat storing. Excess fat may build up inside the liver cells causing “fatty liver” and when this starts to occur it is extremely difficult to lose weight. In my vast experience any time that you overload the liver you will increase the tendency to gain weight easily.
Aspartame also causes weight gain by other mechanisms —Causes unstable blood sugar levels, which increases the appetite and causes cravings for sweets/sugar. Thus it is particularly toxic for those with diabetes or epilepsy. Causes fluid retention giving the body a puffy and bloated appearance. This makes people look fatter than they are and increases cellulite.

Jeg sluttet forøvrig på dagen med røyk og sukkerfri brus, uten noen form for nedtrapping, og selvsagt var det litt ubehagelig, men det var ikke noe problem. Gradvis nedtrapping ville ikke funket for meg, som noen sier lenger oppe: da ville jeg bare opprettholdt suget. Blir det samme som om jeg skulle spist et par biter godteri hver dag for å trappe ned på det, da ville jeg garantert ikke klart det.
