Gulf War illness

Newsletter:"never use Diet Coke to cook with. Heat turns the Nutri Sweet (aspartame) into methyl alcohol . It is thought that maybe all the gulf war illness could be due to the diet coke that sat in the sun and got warm. Do not heat anything sweetened with aspartame because it metabolizes into methanol, which is poison. That's why, at first, the manufacturer refused to put out any recipes for baking and cooking. Medical studies done in the past few years have shown many, many illnesses and syndromes to be connected to aspartame, neurological disorders, brain cancer and migraines were at the top of the last list I saw. I've known a number of people who had migraines and when they quit using aspartame the migraines didn't come back. Myself I will not drink any-brand of diet soda I just don't like the after taste even my doctor told me years ago stay away from them and I have."
