An artificial sweetener containing phenylalanine. Found in most diet colas, fat-free sweetened yoghurts, sugar-free products and just about everything 'sweet' these days.
- Aspartame is a silent killer:
Aspartame is made up of 3 components, phenylaline, aspartic acid and methanol(wood alcohol). Phenylalanine excites neurons in the brain to the point of cellular death. And an ongoing intake of aspartame can lead to severe discomfort, illness and in some cases, death.
This product should be banned worldwide. Read all your lables. It's in alot of diet foods, diet drinks, and even medicines. Aspartame is contains METHANOL, a serious metabolic poison.
Aspartame can precipate diabetes, stimulates and aggravetes diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy, destroys the optic nerve, causes diabetics to go into convulsions and even interacts with insulin.
- Aspartame is a highly addictive :
It's brain washing agent and the victims cannot even conceive of quitting the toxin. We must get it off the market. Aspartame damages the cardiac conduction system and causes sudden death. Also, wih Methanol toxicity, the victims usually drink 3 to 4 12 oz cans of diet soda per day, some even more!!
- Aspartame also makes you crave carbohydrates:
ASPARTAME changes the brain's chemistry. This drug changes the dopamine level in the brain. Imagine what this drug does to patients suffering from
Parkinson's Disease?! This drug also causes Birth Defects. There is absolutely no reason to take this product. It is NOT A DIET PRODUCT!!!
The Congressional record said, "
It makes you crave carbohydrates and will make you FAT". Dr. Roberts stated that when he got patients off ASPARTAME, their average weight loss was 19 pounds per person. The formaldehyde stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs.
If anything says Sugar Free on the label--do not even think about eating it!
There are 92 documented symptons of Aspartame, from coma to death. The majority of them are neurological, because Aspartame destroys the nervous systems. There is absolutely no reason to take this product.
- Aspartame is especially deadly for diabetics:
It keeps the blood sugar level out of control, causing many patients to go into a coma. . Its scary isnt it?
- Here is a list of 92 adverse reactions and side effects have been attributed to aspartame including:
Eyes: blindness in one or both, decreased vision and or other eye problems such as blurring, bright flashes, squiggly lines, tunnel vision, decreased night vision..pain in one or both eyes, decreased tears, trouble with contact lenses, and bulging eyes.
Ears: tinnitus(ringing or buzzing sound),severe intolerance of noise, marked hearing impairment
Neurologic: epileptic seizures, headaches, migraines, dizziness, unsteadiness, confusion, memory loss, drowiness, sleepiness, numbness of the limbs, severe slurring of the speech, severe hyperactivity and restless legs, atypical face pain and severe tremors.
How many of you are suffering from memory loss? Aspartame could be the blame. The ingredients of Aspartame stimulates the neurons of the brain to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees.
Psychological: severe depression, irritability, aggression, anxiety, personality changes, insomina, phobias
Chest: shortness of breath, recent high blood pressure
SKIN and Allergies: itching without a rash, lip and mouth reactions, hives, and aggravated respiratory allergies such as asthma

Other: frequency of voiding and burning during urination, excessive thrist, fluid retention, leg swelling and bloating, increased infections.
- People who assume aspartame is safe are wrong:
People who think aspartame is only miminal amount are wrong. it is not safe.Even cigarettes and drugs have warnings on them to alert the public of possible side effects and dangers. Only Aspartame hasn't. How can people make a wise choiccce if they aren't even warned of the dangers?
There is another sweetner and sugar substitute which is not harmful called
Stevia. it is all natural. It also improves insulin sensitivity and may even promote additional insulin production, helping to reverse diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
I think Stevia is the best choice for a diabetic-safe, low carb sweetner. Stevia, a sweet herb, not an additive, which helps in the metabolism of sugar, and would be ideal for diabetics.
You can also use some honey !!
