Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Cheryl, Thanks so much. Have been cutting back my sugar and use Dole products. Just checked a can of crushed pineapple and there is no mention of aspartame. It says 100% natural juice - no sugar added. Has 13g of sugar. Checked contents - no mention of it. Keep me posted as I personally DO NOT think aspartame is good for us. To me it has an awful aftertaste and I have never been able to drink anything diatetic. lynn --- Cheryl Rounds <noworganics wrote: > Today in the market, I picked up a box of Dole No > Sugar Added Fruit Juice Pops.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 As expensive and time consuming it sounds, we might just have to go to juicing our own fruits for our juice and buying fresh fruits only....which is why I say expensive....buying fresh fruits in season won't be much of a problem, but out of season fruits can pack a punch to the ol' wallet..... Then there's the purchase of a good quality juicer to consider, but at least we wouldn't have to worry about aspertame additions to our juices/canned fruits----unless they begin injecting our fruits with aspertame while on the tree/bush/vine!

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 I thought I'd add in here the same thing is taking place with the new 7-Up. I don't recall the name for it - but it's the new 7-Up with the fruit flavor in it. No where on the bottle does it say " diet " or sugar free. However, I took a big gulp of it and almost choked. It's definitely diet and must contain aspertame.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Anna, and all-- ....used to know a " Coke " guy and while stocking the soft drink section at the store a while back, I asked him about Aspertame being in soft drinks even though it might not be labeled.....he said I was correct and that's why he no longer drinks " the stuff, " as he put it, because most if not all beverage manufacturers now use Aspertame in their drinks, even though they're not the " sugar-free " kind.... ....said it was cheaper to use a mix of Aspertame-like sweeteners and sugar than to use straight sugar based sweeteners... ....he then said, (quoting him here) " we ALL know how profits are more important to the Big Guys than the health of those who've made them as rich as they are " ....I asked him if they knew how dangerous Aspertame and its derivitives were, and he looked at me like I'd just asked the most stupid quesiton he'd ever heard.....of COURSE they know what Aspertame is/can do to the body he said.....but that doesn't matter.......PROFIT MARGIN is the god of this side of Heaven he told me.... ....needless to say, as sad as I was to go without my 12-pack of caffeine-free Dr. Pepper, I passed it up and told myself water was more healthy for me....it's been a struggle, to be honest, 'cause I sure miss my nose burning, belch inducing Dr. Peppers! ....I mourn the " good ol' days, " when we could guzzle an ice cold can of soft drink and feel all is well with the world.....those days have long passed..... ....before leaving the aisle, I asked him if he was afraid of losing his job from telling people this Truth about what " the Big Guys " are now slipping into our drinks, and he said that I was the only one so far (at that time) that ever asked him about Aspertame..... ....said that he just kept his mouth shut, but if anyone wanted to know, then he'd say something.... ....one other note here, and I'll close....he told me that the ingredient list wouldn't have " Aspertame " listed (that'd be too obvious), but would be under the label of a sweetener....that was a couple of years ago, so I'm not surprised 7-Up has Aspertame in it also....I imagine every soft drink company now uses the " stuff " ....can't imagine any big corp. like that not jumping on the bandwagon of profits, y'know?

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Threecrowfeathers, I've not noticed it in regular 7-UP. I don't drink softdrinks often - I'm sensitive to sodium, and all softdrinks have sodium in them...but when I do, I make it a 7-UP. My allergist, 25 years ago (I now have rid myself of nearly all allergies) told me to avoid preservatives, additives, artificial colorings - and that 7-UP was the only soft drink without these things. That was then. However, I can taste artificial sweeteners instantly. I'm hoping they don't put it in 7-UP but there is no doubt that it is in the new 7-UP Plus. http://www.7up.com/PlusHold.aspx Yet, as you can see - no mention of it being " diet " , sugarless, or otherwise.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Ooops! It DOES say on the ad - SPLENDA. I stand corrected! However, I just remember when I bought them (they were 2 for $1.00 when it was first introduced) - it said nothing on the front label about it.
