Zero calorie sweetener linked to blood clots and risk of heart disease, study finds

[Farmer-Rick]

7. Good to know

I need to stop using it then. I have a tendency to getting blot clots. I use this to avoid sugar in an effort to keep my weight down.

Aspartame, which is found in most diet sodas, makes my muscles ache or maybe if flairs up my arthritis pain. But whatever it does it is not pleasant. So, that sweetener is out.

I guess I kind of knew the newer artificial sweeteners were just as bad,

But this study is far from definitive. It was conducted on only 10 people. And we all know what small sample sizes can do to skewed results.
