Sugar Free!!!
 

oh low and behold please tell me im not the last to know about this, but ive been eating a lot of "sugar free " gum and drinking loads of diet coke. well ive had a dodgy tummy to say the least:o but it seems that the sweetners used in sugar free gum and also diet coke and many other sugar free products, mainly sorbitol sorbitol contains a substance called phenanylin(sp?) which produces laxative side effects!!!!!!!!!!!! no bloody wonder they help with weight loss:lol: so no more sugar free gum, polos or anything else now for me......even the diet coke is banned from the house , ill do the deed and drink the water

Yes you are the last to know :lol: The sugar free polos say may have effects if taken in large amounts.

hmph!! thats all i have to say on the matter:p

Mmmmm.. gets me like that too:dizzy: :dizzy:

Yup! Does that to me as well - and gives me headaches if I have too much of it.

Another name for it is, I think, Aspartame.

Well I've been sitting here, catching up on the posts, quietly eating sugar free polos and I've just realised that Ive almost eaten the packet... OMG - wait for it!!!:mad:

:lol: :o :o :lol: :o :lol: :o :lol: :o :devil:

ooh sarah now my sides are hurting:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

This is going to sound daft... but I eat a lot of mints so it IS relevant......

Is there a big calorie difference between the sugar free polos and the ordinary ones?

And..... Jan...... was there a reaction?? :o :o :o :o :o
