Aspartame and afib/tachy
Posted , 6 users are following.
Has anyone had any experiences with aspartame being a trigger of their afib/tachy? Or talked with their doctor or read any really informative articles about it?
I began drinking the 'clear sodas' (ya know 0 cal 0 caffeine 0 sugars 0 sodium seltzer waters with much more flavor) when I started changing my lifestyle about one month before my 'big relapse' into afib. I have 2 qts a day of those and the only other thing I drink is about the same amount of water. The reason I'm curious is because this is the only thing dietary that i can think of that might be affecting my afib. The foods I eat are as healthy as can possibly be, but I never thought much about a '0 everything' drink having something in it that might cause such issues.
An added question is....what are the top heart healthy yet palatable beverages that you all recommend?
Thanks in advance,
Anna

I agree with Diannec aspartame should be avoided at all costs whether you have afib or not, we all have different triggers but no one should be using aspartame it is not good they sometimes diguise that they are using it by calling it nutrisweet
You can find info on it on the web, I actually have a friend who was very poorly and it turned out to be aspartame that was causing her problem. they use it as a substitute in all diet drinks.

I drink coffee 3 a day at least, the occasional larger,guinness , non of these bring on my AF..
The main cause of my AF is exersion & only at night , doing anything that gets my heart racing, i have only had 3 episodes when i was at rest watching TV after my evening meal, i have never gone into AF during the day, So it seems that with me exersion on a full stomach is the key to my AF,
Its a mine field
Unless its very obvious proven i think trying to work out what foods or drinks may affect AF is a bit like have a multi allergy problem & trying to work out what & what does not fire it up
