hypothetical aspartame thread
UPDATE 12-13-17 In the three years since I wrote this post fewer and fewer people have used aspartame for pink and our results are higher than ever. I really think that the aspartame is doing nothing at best and may even be undermining sways when ingested in the massive amounts that other sites recommend. Please be sane and sensible about aspartame intake, no more than 2-3 servings a day of 12-16 oz. each, which is the amount approved by the FDA as safe when pregnant (so it has to be safe when TTC!)
Ok, for starters let me just say this very clear - this is a hypothetical question only and I do not want anyone to change anything about their sway on the basis of this. And PLEASE please if we could avoid the thing where 10 dozen people message me asking if they should use/not use aspartame on the basis of this thread, I would really appreciate it. The reason why I ask is because I DON'T KNOW and want to hear your guys' opinions.
just wondering if anyone else has noticed this trend - does anyone else think aspartame could possibly be swaying BLUE? THe reason I ask is because back on IG, you may recall people were getting boys drinking tons of it (and honestly I cannot recall a single successful sway using the massive amounts, but I may just be suffering from selective recall there) and I feel like some pretty good sways produced opposites and a fair number were people who I felt were hitting it too hard on the aspartame. I got my 4th boy using it and my girl without it (and I have been diagnosed recently with an autoimmune disease myself and I almost certainly have had it for many years including when I swayed with my 4th boy!)
I wonder about the trend that I have suspected where moms with autoimmune stuff seem to have more boys, and IF as some say, aspartame may aggravate autoimmune stuff, could it be POSSIBLE that some of us prone to autoimmune disease are undermining our sways with aspartame? I DO know that there are a lot of non-sway girl moms who use it all the time (you know the super thin workout moms who drink diet coke all day) but maybe it's something that only affects people who are prone to autoimmune stuff??
I would love to hear people's observations or thoughts on this.
