Why should They? To appease you?
They've taken their time to post, just be grateful

Off like a rocket? I didn't mean to come across that way. :smile: It just boggles my mind when people question things and do research but don't question what they research. The theory here essentially being big corporations are involved in a giant global conspiracy to convince doctors, scientists and governments that a cheap sweetener isn't poisonous. You'd think that these companies would be paying to hide the research or just simply not even putting their names down on the conflicts of interest or the funding disclosure. You then apply that same logic to me i.e a shill gambit.

Many independent studies have found aspartame to be safe. To say otherwise is just confirmation bias and cherry picking data. This article covers Walton's study and explains some of it's limitations and others such as the study by the very controversial Ramazzini foundation. Aspartame has been discussed many times by highly regarded experts such as on Science-Based medicine too.

Mercola is a terrible source of information that is just trying to get you to buy supplements and other expensive wastes of money. I know I won't even make you think about questioning the alleged dangers of aspartame but hopefully you will at question sites like Mercola and not waste money on "detoxes", "grounding mats" etc. :smiley:

So what do you drink? just water, the stuff thats filtered from a tibetan mountain?

because I bet I could find 'poison' in any drink.

HERE WE GO AGAIN...

I think closed minded is someone who goes off like a rocket when their ideas are slightly challenged (i.e. you). You took it so badly I can only assume you work for one of those companies :laughing:

But here, knock yourself out:

Survey of Aspartame Studies: Correlation of Outcome & Funding Sources
http://dorway.com/aspartame-the-bad-news-repost/peer-reviewed-aspartame-studies/
http://www.lightenyourtoxicload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Dr-Walton-survey-of-aspartame-studies.pdf
Studies of aspartame in the peer reviewed medical literature were surveyed for funding source and study outcome. Of the 166 studies felt to have relevance for questions of human safety, 74 had Nutrasweet® industry related funding and 92 were independently funded. One hundred percent of the industry funded research attested to aspartame's safety, whereas 92% of the independently funded research identified a problem. A bibliography supplied by the Nutrasweet® Company included many studies of questionable validity and relevance, with multiple instances of the same study being cited up to 6 times. Questions are raised both about aspartame's safety and the broader issue of the appropriateness of industry sponsorship of medical research.

The paper doesn't detail what those problems are and whether they are mild or severe, but some of the papers that reported problems have titles that suggest serious side adverse reactions:
Olney, Brain Damage in Infant Mice Following Oral Intake of Glutamate, Aspartate or Cysteine., 1970
Wurtman RJ, Neurological Changes Following High Dose Aspartame with Dietary Carbohydrates. N Engl J Med, 1983

All aspartame research everywhere is financed by Coca Cola et al?! Evidence? And any research that proves it's poisonous was free of any conflicts of interest and obviously top quality but the EFSA and WHO decided to ignore it because.....? Or did Big Soda get to them too?

What a convenient and closed minded line of thought.

What evidence/research have you looked at that showed it was poisonous?

Everything in moderation, now sod the Aspartame talk and get back in the original post :sunglasses:

or else put 3 litres for £1 :wink:

Aspartame is absolutely fine, some people just love a conspiracy theory.

http://chem.pharmacy.psu.ac.th/chemical/msds/aspartame_msds.pdf Aspartame MSDS, not as dangerous as the hippies claim

Does anyone else other than me find the taste of pepsi max repulsive? its worse than the cheap bottles of panda coke we had as kids.(what the hell was that all about too)

Oh and aspartame has been studied to death, its absolutely harmless. Anyone who tells you otherwise is not playing with a full deck. They are the same kind of people who believe the moon landings were fake and global warming doesn't exist!

There are references to large studies and research on the site. Putting that aside, what "research" did you look at proving it was poisonous? Why have multiple independent organisations and experts come to the consensus that it's safe? Why doesn't the EFSA, FSA, WHO, NHS etc tell us it's poisonous and to either avoid it or remove it from sale?

The recent EFSA review concluded aspartame was safe, again, and looked at over 2000 studies. I'm pretty sure that is valid, backed up research.

​Yep - aspartame-information.co.uk. Looks like a legitimate scientific site, with valid, backed up research. I love the random picture of scientists holding test tubes.

Asda had large head office reductions on deleted lines this morning, which is why it is all so cheap. Doubt there will be much left in stores after today.

​True. You could fit a 2 litre bottle up there!

Your right Asda is having a reinvention over the next 6 months the selection for customers being narrowed down, fab bargains to be had over the coming months but seems all stores are doing it at different times just keep eyes open. think most stores have had cereal, beers & wines & tea/coffee section done already .

Poison is coming in here and acting high and mighty over drinking a can of soda. Please go away and worry about your own perfect gnarly teeth.

Also available in Walthamstow

Hot from me, will check my Asda in Bournemouth later

Picked up 9 boxes in asda lancaster, still plenty left

Wish I could give you a set of these (12 bottles) for free. I picked up 9 boxes today and will mostly give them out

Has aspartame in (It's not poisonous), the hippies on this site don't like it.

Aspartame is not poisonous:-
Aspartame info

Not in my local unfortunately ,just the 8 packs priced at £2.00
They did have Schweppes Lemonade cans 12X150ml reduced to £1.00, near the entrance doors, while I was in there, but then they announced it on the tannoy, and a big pile disappeared in minutes, one woman must have had twelve packs in her trolley, no idea why as it's still costs her £12 that she probably wasn't planning to spend anyway.

​Aspartame.

mmmmm, cheap aspartame.

What is so poisonous about it?

no sugar here... its Pepsi Max :wink:

Blueroo well said!!

Why people go mad for pop? Its only sugar water people...

As a colleague Asda are set to change pop this weekend in our store, and many others. Clearing out lines to replace new ones, so deals will vary store to store. That price is ridonkulous though!

Jesus.

Boom. I tax it too the max or not at all. This is my MY drink.

Paying to drink this poison, will vote cold even if I am paid to drink this, stop self harming

We need a page dedicated to store specific items and another for national. I've been to my local Asda and all these deals are not available in my store, waste of time!

250 ml ? ffs barely a mouth full for us northerners :smile: no thanks.

Brilliant find op, heat added. Best to stock up while you can you can not go wong on this offer or price heat added

Proof? Guessing you were given a receipt?

Its not just the pepsi that are reduced the del monte fresh orange juice and asda chosen by you fresh fruit juice is all between 20-50p

It's kind of the whole point of this site. We get people on here all the time stating they have found a great deal just to get heat, anyone can come on here, saying they got a good deal. I'm not saying that this deal isn't real, all I am asking is for some proof so that any one else interested in this deal isn't wasting their time by looking for it.

Are you saying that in your 70 deals that you have posted, you have NEVER proved the price of them (receipt, in-store price tag or website link)?

Even @ £2 it's a deal! Must check my local!

I just post A other post and the receipt on that one so u can look at it yourself

I bought these yesterday theyare 2pound in my asda

good find op, heat added

zero chance this will be national .. and even if it is, they'll be cleaned out within an hour or so.

Wonder if Asda is trying to shift certain drinks? There's been one or two posts recently with unbelievably cheap prices.
