High Billy Rubin and Diet Soda...

[Diesel City]

For the thrid time I've heard someone tell me that they went and got blood work and had higher bilirubinlevels. Two of them were asked by the doc if they drank diet soda and how much. They cut back on the diet soda and on the next test the levels were in the average range... I didn't know that diet soda could cause this? Anyone else hear of this before?

Bilirubin

For the thrid time I've heard someone tell me that they went and got blood work and had higher bilirubinlevels. Two of them were asked by the doc if they drank diet soda and how much.

If bilirubin is high, then the liver is not able to remove it from the blood efficiently, which means the liver is diseased (hep, cirrhosis). Aspartame (phenylalanine), the sweetner in most diet sodas and foods, has been linked to liver damage causing high bilirubin counts, but it doesn't affect everyone the same. Concurrent use of alcohol (even moderate), diet soda, and AAS...now that scares me.

A recent study claims as little as one diet soda(it did specify colas) a day leads to metabolic syndrome.I saw this on the news not to long ago.

I remembered reading this a long time ago and was able to find it again.
Aspartame Dangers, Side Effects, (Nutrasweet, Equal) FDA, disease poisoning.
I posted recently about not feeling the effects of Syntheselen like so many others do and feeling more fatigued and so forth than usual, and now I am thinking it may have something to do with the 3-4 diet sodas I drink per day. Hmmm...

I slam, and have for the last 10 years or so, about a gallon of diet soda a day. My bili, even after using superdrol, has been and is just fine. I love diet soda
