I had a snow day and decided to do some online research about ways to improve hypothyroid symptoms. There is a buzz on the Internet about aspartame sweetener affecting people in a bad way, thyroid-wise.

It caught my attention but you know how it is about these things: "alternative" health person takes a bit of information, forms a theory, writes a book and/or markets supplements, and makes a ton of money.
Still, some of it resonated with me because I do drink one diet cola a day, as well as gum sometimes, and I HAVE thought about quitting the soda before (because of my admitted reliance on the caffeine). I always thought if I could give up my daily soda, I would somehow feel better.

So now I am wondering: Have any hypothyroid cysters given up aspartame/diet cola, and if so, has it made any difference in your physical health or mental health? Please be as specific as you can. Thank you!
