If your doing everything right from a diet and sleep perspective, the small amount of artificial sweetners in supps like EAA's wont effect much at all. Just try to get everything in pure powder or pill form if you can and keep the sweeteners to a minimum.
I would say it's best to just cut it out. Helps stop cravings if nothing else.
I always cut out everything and even during the year I donīt use much. If at all... I just makes me feel better about myself knowing Iīm doing more/being stricter than most other guys are willing to.
Yes sir! That whole cancer thing is enough to keep me away from them. LOL!
Nah... top level bodybuilders do things that are certainly a lot more harmful to health later in life than having 2 or 3 serving of a artificiallly flavored BCAA drink per day.

I agree 100%!
PED's don't cause cancer though and 80+ years of research proves that to be correct. Artificial sweeteners and other Monsanto chemicals have been scientifically and medically proven to cause a wide array of cancers.
All of the conventional foods (non organic, loaded with Monsanto chemicals) most BBer's eat here in the States is probably the number one culprit for a majority of health issues with of course exceptions. Than again, I have noticed BBer's across Europe aren't dying in droves like they are over here....which further re-enforces my point. Food in Europe is naturally 100% organic as Monsanto is banned in all of Europe.
*Not trying to spark controversy, but I wish more Americans would pay attention to what is being put in their foods.

ding ding ding we have a winner! People trust too much of what the government allows and does not. They assume if it is allowed it is safe and if it is not allowed it is unsafe. There is no correlation there at all.
If I do pure aminos like that, I just scoop them in my mouth and wash them straight down. I certainly wonīt dissolve them in water so that I have to drink the whole glass
That is still mighty brave! AHAH Bitter as can be!
Can't argue one bit about the difference in food between the US and Europe. Back in August, the wife and I went to Ireland for a week. I expected to have some gastrointestinal issues just due to the fact that I wasn't going to be eating too "clean". Usually when I have a cheat meal or two here in the US, my stomach gets all jacked up. Over there? I had zero issues despite having plenty of delicious foods. And the food simply tasted better. Each morning I had a typical Irish breakfast and everything tasted phenomenal.

Yup! I believe it! Corperate greed and the demand for cheap food.

I take glutamine and creatine this way post-workout after I suck down two packs of Nitro. It's not bad at all! Doesn't irritate my stomach either like artificially sweet supps post-workout used to.

That is one thing for sure the rest of the world has on us. The people across the pond seem to be more passionate about food from farming to culinary arts to local markets.
In the States people seem to want to find everything in one store so they aren't inconvenienced.

Very true. It's the UN that has caused the massive price increase in food over the years. Artificial shortages, farmers paid subsidies to not grow food and develop farm lands, etc. It's pretty deep if you look into it.

I noticed last year being in Moldova & Romania that the food really does just taste better. The vegetables were incredible. Even things you wouldn't think about like pasta were fantastic. I brought home a couple bottles of olive oil because it just tasted so much better.
My cousins, who grew up on a farm in upstate NY, had a really hard time eating when they went to college because all 3 of them hated the meat/dairy they had at grocery stores. It just tasted so different to them, growing up eating meat that had been a cow on their farm, taken to the butcher, and returned to their freezers.
