This thread may be old but I wanted to post here since I came across it in a search and others may as well.

This is my story about aspartame and other artificial sweeteners.... Several years ago I was fighting headaches, dizziness and an irregular heart beat and palpitations. I had seen several doctors and specialists and none could determine the cause. I had changes PCP doctors and when discussing with my new doctor we got into a conversation about my diet. That's when he told me about aspartame poisoning. You can Google it for a complete list of symptoms. But my condition aligned perfectly. The doc explained it gets into fatty tissue and hangs around for months even after you cut it from your diet. Long story short he had me cut all artificial sweeteners from my diet. I did not notice an immediate improvement. In fact it took 4 months. But the doc told me to stick with it and I followed his advice. Within maybe 6 to 7 months from cutting it form my diet all symptoms were gone.

So - aspartame, sucralose, etc.... they may not have side effects on everyone. But they did for me. They're nasty nasty stuff and my advise is to all whom read this is to stay away and avoid them. And they're in practically everything. You don't realize it until you're actively trying to avoid them.

Some think that they must be safe since the government signed off on them (FDA). I'll remind those folks that such information comes from the same government that for nearly a century contended that lead in gasoline was perfectly safe.. And how many lawyer commercials for people taking drugs that harmed them do you see? All of those drugs were approved by the FDA too. Politics and money play just as large a role as your safety over at the FDA.... In government - it's money and power that's king.

Make informed decisions and recognize the government information for what it is. Because the FDA has been wrong soooooo many times about soooooo many things. It's not worth gambling your health on.

It's been some time and still an issue. I could say it could be survival of the fittest. Certain species will adapt and others will not.

I am not sure but I would say that with new technology and advances that we have in regards to FDA testing. I would hope theses studies are done over again.

i just got a powder with no aspartame, was over the moon cos it tasted exactly like a milkshake.
Look on the ingredients to see "sucralose"
nek minnut i research it and its got ****ing chlorine in it

Does anyone know of any protein powders that taste good AND have NO artificial sweeteners, i'd prefer one with stevia personally

IsoNatural unflavored is good.

BulkSupplements on Amazon has Pure Whey too.

[Manowar11]

Myprotein is the only one I'm aware of that has stevia options for flavored protein.

[poison]

Nope. Our 100% Natural Whey is awesome, and obviously free of artificial crap.

Nexpharma whey uses stevia, they only have two flavours right now but the flavors are natural i.e. chocolate is flavoured with dutch cocoa

I know, old thread that will not die! but instead of fighting over whether artificial sweeteners are safe or not, why not just offer OP some natural clean options? While I don't necessarily believe small amounts of artificial sweeteners are bad, I don't want that crap in my supplements either. I'm not consuming supps for taste, I'm consuming them for results. Cheers!

Off the top of my head OP,

Naked Whey
Jym Natural


And found a list of a few others >

You should read this, Ron

You should read this, Ron

Funny stuff, no doubt some take it to an extreme, but it's nice to have an option sans all the fancy flavorings and sweeteners. I think companies should just add a flavor called natural or naked to their lineups with a warning that since nothing has been added to mask the taste of the ingredients, good luck downing it and keeping it down and don't complain to us about the taste or look.

rhadam I've had allergic reaction to aspartame and sucralose. aspartame locks me up where I cannot piss a drop for 4-5 hours. sucralose swells my prostate up, causes me low back pain, pelvic pain, testicular pain swelling up the epididymis, and also my skin starts having a warming and cooling sensation all over it meaning it burns a bit then becomes ice cold, burns a bit then becomes ice cold, the only thing that would calm all of this down was prednisone. My experience is probably on the rare side, but I avoid
artificial sugar like the plague. I'd like to also note my father who is 59 yrs old cannot consume anything with aspartame in it because it bothers his heart.

What a riveting tale.

Products with aspartame tend to give me a headache and leave me with a dry mouth, I use Optimum Nutrition's Natural Oats and Whey.



It's sweetened with cane sugar and honey I think. No aftertaste, no dry mouth. No headaches either. I think products which use aspartame also use artificial colours and that's what causes the headaches. Certain colours are now banned in the EU but are still common in American-made products. I think they're called names like sunset yellow and lake blue 40. Some bs like that.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest has downgraded its safety rating of sucralose, the artificial sweetener also known by the brand name Splenda, from “caution” to “avoid” in the group’s Chemical Cuisine glossary of food additives.

The nonprofit food safety and nutrition watchdog group is citing a newly published study from the respected Ramazzini Institute, an independent laboratory based in Italy, which found that the chemical caused leukemia and related blood cancers in male mice.

This is the second time CSPI has downgraded its rating of the sweetener. In 2013 the group downgraded sucralose from “safe” to “caution” after the Ramazzini Institute presented the then-unpublished findings of the study at a conference. The study was finally published on January 29 in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health.

Sucralose is found in some diet sodas, including Diet Pepsi, where it is paired with another artificial sweetener, acesulfame potassium, and Diet Mountain Dew, where it is combined with acesulfame potassium and aspartame. It also appears in everything from prepared dinners and salad dressings to yogurts and cereals. In fact, sucralose is used in more products in the United States than any other artificial sweetener.

“We recommend that consumers avoid sucralose, or Splenda, and we recommend consumers also avoid saccharin, aspartame, and acesulfame potassium,” said CSPI president Michael F. Jacobson. “That said, the risk posed by over-consumption of sugar and high-fructose corn syrup, particularly from soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages, of diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, far outweighs the cancer risk posed by sucralose and most other artificial sweeteners. Consumers are better off drinking water, seltzer, or flavored waters, but diet soda does beat regular soda.”

The only other long-term feeding studies conducted on sucralose were conducted by the manufacturer and did not find a problem. According to CSPI, the new study is more powerful than the industry-funded studies, which tested fewer animals, started exposing the animals beginning at adolescence as opposed to in utero, and ended earlier in the animals’ lives.

I <3 this thread. Well if the CSPI says it's bad, it must be so. And what would we do without Michael F Jacobson and his CSPI agenda. More correlation studies ftw!

Of course an additional ten years is more important. Do you not know what long term side effects means?

Here's a brief run down on aspartame, and all your case studies are FDA bitches, who WANT this product on the market because its $$$$$$$$ Are you really that stupid?

Aspartame is a vicious chemical that is made up of 50% phenylalanine, a neurotoxin that excites brain cells to death, 40% aspartic acid, another excitoneurotoxin, and the feces of genetically mutated E. ****. Once aspartame gets ingested it gets broken down to methyl alcohol, a narcotic, that destroys the dopamine system and leads to addiction. That’s why you hear people saying “I just need my diet coke,” or “crystal lite is all I drink.” Now you won’t have to ever wonder why.

The methyl alcohol also gets converted to formaldehyde, which embalms all living tissue and DNA. Formaldehyde causes blindness and collects in all living tissue to form tumors.

THIS IS CHEMISTRY FACT.

Sucralose is comprised of chlorine. To tell me im wrong about sucralose is to actually fight the real definition of chlorine, i think i'll believe the guy who discovered chlorine over you You lift. You don't mess around with chems. If i want advice on exercise, i'll listen to you. cheers


The FDA ... lmao where i'm from bro that means jack ****. They've been called out on foul play before. They legalize finasteride for hair loss for ****s sake, and look at the side effects on that ****. Okay a bit of a different area of product, sure.
But if they can lie about that, why not whats in our sodas?
Or better yet, our protein shakes?

haha dude keep taking the **** if you want to. I'm not here to convince anyone. I'm here to find a protein powder that is devoid of artificial sweeteners, if you don't wanna help thats fine. **** off, and go poison yourself with some aspartame.

If you studied an iota of chemistry you'd know i am right hahaha

Do you not know what long term side effects means?

Yes, its harmful after 260 years of consumption. We agree with you.

[hammerransom]

New guy here. I know it is an old thread but I recently went looking for a good all natural whey as well and found one, so thought Id share... I haven't read all 5 pages so if someone else has posted already, my apologies.

I landed on Muscle Feast - Chocolate

It is whey isolate, hormone free, grass fed, non-GMO, all natural, and sweetened with stevia. There are 5 ingredients (1 - Whey Protein Isolate, 2 - Natural Chocolate Flavor, 3 - Cocoa Powder, 4 - Sunflower Lecithin, 5 - Stevia Reb A 97/98). I have been doing the keto diet for about 4 months and I make this with 12 oz of almond milk, 1 or 2 scoops of Muscle Feast (depending on where my macros are that day and how much protein I want), and 1 Tbsp of pure coconut (MCT) oil. Throw in some ice cubes to cool it off and use a hand blender to smooth it out... occasionally I will put in 1 or 2 tbsp of all natural peanut butter. It is like a peanut butter/chocolate milkshake... Best tasting protein shake I have ever had. Sells on Amazon for $65 for a 5lb bucket.

[Aladinlondonuk]

sucralose triggers severe migraines for me....just stumbled across nkdnutritoin…...BOOM!

[adamgentile]

Dymatize ISO-100 now offers one without artificial flavors or sugars, good stuff.
