To make aspartame you take the two amino acids aspartic and phenylalanine (which is why PKU people can't have diet coke) put them together and then tack on a methyl group. It's the methyl group that leads to what your cardiologist is referring to. Basically, when aspartame is initially broken down it forms aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol.<br /><br />Methanol is quickly turned into formaldehyde or formic acid (both are bad and are the reason why methanol is so toxic). However, aspartame is very very sweet and not a lot is used, so the dosage is quite low (and quickly eliminated from the body). <br /><br />For example, a can of diet coke contains 125 mg of aspartame. Aspartame is 294.3 g/mol. So diet coke contains .000424737 moles of aspartame (and thus contains the equivalent amount of methanol when broken down). Methanol weighs 32.04 g/mol so you have .0136 grams of methanol in a diet coke. <br /><br />Turning that into milliliters (methanol's density is .7918 g/cm3 and 1 cm3 = 1 ml ) yields .017 ml.<br /><br />To put this in perspective, it takes a full 10ml of pure methanol before you have to start worrying about blindness occurring. Federal guidelines allow workers to be exposed to about 5-6g of methanol a day (or roughly 368 diet cokes). Alcohol (particularly wine/port) and fruits (oranges, apples, tomatoes, etc.) contain some methanol. For example a glass of tomato juice is thought to contain .085g (over six times more than what is in a can of diet coke!). <br /><br />So its unlikely that diet coke will kill you through methanol/formaldehyde poisoning. That said its always possible for someone to be particularly sensitive to aspartame and/or methanol and have issues associated with diet coke.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11034135330504717609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-90268600634548706892010-11-30T16:25:11.049-05:002010-11-30T16:25:11.049-05:00I ONCE had a friend try to take food off my plate,...I ONCE had a friend try to take food off my plate, when I jabbed them with my fork, word spread quick that I don't share food/drink!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-78777001077644133092010-11-30T16:17:33.603-05:002010-11-30T16:17:33.603-05:00Sometimes his social ineptness so embarrasses his ...Sometimes his social ineptness so embarrasses his foot that it refuses to talk to him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-83103933069357739962010-11-30T14:46:50.643-05:002010-11-30T14:46:50.643-05:00That not only calls for homicide, but torture befo...That not only calls for homicide, but torture beforehand.Wunderwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11375389330934161968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-18439755884050352012010-11-30T14:22:22.926-05:002010-11-30T14:22:22.926-05:00Soooo technically you go to first base with him ri...Soooo technically you go to first base with him right?Phatheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10536724196086259665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-70660263422172734692010-11-30T13:35:58.986-05:002010-11-30T13:35:58.986-05:00@ yay
