  • What do you know about Asparatame being bad for patients with RP? Asparatame is the sweetner ingredient in diet soda, Equal and Sweet n Low. I find that I ingest a lot of it. Now I read on many websites that it is bad for retinal problems.

  • Yep, and it's not confined to aspartame but something else in the chemical make up of pop.

    It's a very very refined sugar that will do damage to the tissue is what this does. From what I understand. Refined sugars do not digest well and can cause alot of damage.
