Members willy22 Posted January 30, 2010 Members Share Posted January 30, 2010 Besides the yellow 5 that shrinks your dick, there's an ingredient called aspartame found in Mt. Dew that collects in your joints, and if you drink it a lot, it could affect your playing. I was pretty much drinking only Diet Mountain Dew and coffee. About a week ago, my hands started to stiffen up, and later started to ache real bad. I was trying not to think about it too much, but it was starting to freak me out. It affected my playing, which became fairly painful, but mostly it was affecting my accuracy and stamina. I'm not young, but I aint old either, and I was starting to worry that I either had carpel tunnel syndrome or arthritis. I told my wife about my pain after about the 3rd or 4th day, and she told me that several years ago her mom was having to take several aspirin a day because her joints were stiffening up and causing her pain. She was getting headaches too. She went to see the doctor. After some evaluation of her lifestyle and diet, he concluded that it was the aspartame in the sodas she was drinking that was causing her pain. I've been drinking a lot of water and no more Mt. Dews. My hands feel much better and the pain has gone away. Just thought I'd share with you guys. Take care of yourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheEsupremacy Posted January 30, 2010 Members Share Posted January 30, 2010 Drink REGULAR Mt Dew with all the sugar and caffiene. No aspertame is in it. Diet drinks are for fat people and pussies anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FXR Posted January 30, 2010 Members Share Posted January 30, 2010 Mt Dew is a cause of kidney stones in Fla. Most workers drink it all day, get dehydrated and can't pass the solids. Drink up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LordThurisaz Posted January 30, 2010 Members Share Posted January 30, 2010 There is a possibility that Aspartame can make you gain weight among its other side effects. Which makes loads of sense, seeing as it's for diabetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tlbonehead Posted January 30, 2010 Members Share Posted January 30, 2010 Aspartame is Nutri-Sweet. I've been drinking lots of diet and regular pop/soda since I was a kid. No doubt it isn't the healthiest thing but I can still play just as badly as ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"A 2007 safety evaluation found that the weight of existing scientific evidence indicates that aspartame is safe at current levels of consumption as a non-nutritive sweetener." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame http://www.aspartame.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 17 Tubes Posted January 30, 2010 Members Share Posted January 30, 2010 Well...we have to admit, sirs...that sodas aren't particularly GOOD for you.....so lighten up on ol' Willy. I uesta drink a lot of Mt Dew up until about a year ago. Looking for alterantives I tried Lipton Raspberry Tea Mix. I thought it tasted like Kool-Aid, and when I wrote them to tell them so, they sai d"we're sorry you didn't like our tea..here's 4 free coupons". So I brew up regular tea and add the mix on top of it and it's pretty damn good now. Refreshing AND good for ya. Add a spot of vodka and good to go!

Members Cougar Hunter Posted January 31, 2010 Members Share Posted January 31, 2010 Don't forget, your joints react EXACTLY like that when you have a significant deficiency in any of the following: magnesiumpotassium (VERY important)sodiumcalciumzinc Sounds like all of that caffeine is leeching minerals from your body, and a possible imbalance in your diet could also be causing the problem. Take some mineral supplements, and watch your skeleton recover and feel like a million bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
