Sweet dangers of Aspartame

Aspartame dangers have been widely published for some time now. It is available in fizzy drinks, many sweeteners and sugar substitutes and is not the harmless sweetener we were led to believe – but a dangerous and toxic chemical we should all avoid and is available in over 90 countries around the world. The only sugar substitutes which are safe at this time are Xylitol and Stevia.

Aspartame is in most processed foods, so unless you are really vigilant, you will unwittingly consume aspartame. Nancy Markle, speaking for several days at the World Environment Conference on Aspartame, noted the epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus across the United States was to a large degree due to the ingestion of this toxic substance.

When the temperature of aspartame exceeds 86°F (in cooked food), the wood alcohol converts to formaldehyde (used in embalming procedures to preserve tissues, and a potent carcinogen) and then to formic acid – the poison found in the sting of the fire ant.

Methanol toxicity from aspartame mimics multiple sclerosis, and once the sufferers are taken off the artificial sweetener, their symptoms disappear, their vision returns and tinnitus (ringing in the ears) dissipates. Often, people with symptoms of Fibromyalgia instead have “aspartame disease”.

Aspartame converts to formaldehyde in the retina of the eye and formaldehyde is grouped in the same class of drugs as cyanide and arsenic – both deadly poisons. Aspartame just takes longer to kill, and is causing many neurological problems in people who wouldn’t suspect it’s being the cause. It causes alterations in the brain’s chemistry, seizures and changes the dopamine level in the brain. Just imagine what this must do to a Parkinson’s sufferer?
There is no good reason to take aspartame – it is NOT A DIET PRODUCT. It makes you crave carbohydrates and will make you FAT. Imagine that – a diet product, which encourages weight gain?

Aspartame is especially deadly for diabetics. It can cause the blood sugar levels to go out of control, causing coma, and some people have died as a result.

Dr Russell Blaylock has written a book entitled “Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills” outlining the dangers of aspartame. According to the Conference of the American College of Physicians:
“We are talking about a plague of neurological diseases caused by this deadly poison.” Aspartame.

There are many case histories, books, papers and articles on this subject. Educate yourself and don’t be fooled by clever advertising.
