ASPARTAME

(It used to be listed by, The Pentagon, as a bio-chemical weapon)

Poison Has Never Tasted Sweeter.

Have You Replaced Your Sugar With Poison?

About eighteen months ago, in 2007, my wife urged me to cut out sugar and use an alternative artificial sweetener, one which looks like sugar and tastes like sugar, ‘Simply Sweet’. So I did, but within weeks I soon began to develop unpleasant side effects, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, and my doctor advised me that it could be an adverse reaction to, Simply Sweet.

I ditched the sugar substitute but strange to say developed a taste for unsweetened tea, my main sugar intake, and then a few days ago I read this:

[SIDE EFFECTS] 04/05/2008: Phyllis from Knoxville, USA writes: "I am in very good health, and do not take any kind of medications. I have been having symptoms that were horrendous for 2 months. In hindsight I have been having puzzling problems for years now, but as my body became more poisoned with time, I played my own doctor...My symptoms were very blurry vision, tired all the time, falling asleep at the drop of a hat, feeling as though I was "high" all the time and could not focus on a thought and the bathroom visits!!!! I thought for sure I had colon cancer or something of that nature. It finally dawned on me! The diet pop I drink, the Splenda, I use in my coffee...I immediately stopped all consumption, and it is amazing, within 24 hours, I had a clear head...My visits to the bathroom ceased....my swollen stomach, no longer existed...My eyesight has been the best it has ever been...I have been experiencing withdrawal headaches...I am trying oil pulling as a remedy. I will NEVER consume any products that contain these poisons!!! and they should be outlawed!!!"

My own research into Aspartame has led me to believe that the outbreak of dementia, cancers, obesity and tumours, could well be attributed to this poison, that they’re feeding us in our drinks and food.

Both Diet Coke and Pepsi and many other health drinks are now sweetened by Aspartame as are sweets and yoghurts.

Aspartame in a beverage is unstable, and that it reduces the levels of serotonin (a substance that gives one that “full” feeling), which can induce a craving for carbohydrates. Could this be the root cause of the obesity epidemic?

‘Aspartame’ and ‘Acesulfame K’ the artificial sweeteners are used as sugar substitutes and to sweeten Diet Coke and other ‘health’ drinks, and below are just some of the 92 reported side-effects.

Aspartame is the technical name for Nutrasweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure.

Documented side-effects include:

· headaches/migraine

· dizziness

· seizures

· nausea

· numbness

· muscle fatigue and spasms

· weight gain

· rashes

· depression

· fatigue

· irritability

· tachycardia

· insomnia

· vision problems

· hearing loss

· heart-palpitations

· breathing difficulties

· anxiety attacks

· slurred speech

· loss of taste

· tinnitus

· vertigo

· memory loss

· joint pain

Aspartame can also trigger or worsen:

· brain tumours

· multiple sclerosis

· epilepsy

· chronic fatigue syndrome

· Parkinson’s disease

· Alzheimer’s disease

· mental retardation

· lymphoma

· birth defects

· fibromyalgia diabetes

However, for those cynics amongst you and also for those who would like to know more, but have a strong stomach, below is a link to a scientific study on the effect of Aspartame upon rats, carried out by an American housewife. It is generally accepted that whatever happens to rats in this kind of experimentation would also happen to humans, it would just take longer to develop.

Aspartame mimics may well known disabling illnesses such as MR, so browse through the e-mails and Google Aspartame or Aspertame and you will never touch anything containing it again.

A second study conducted by the European Ramazzini Foundation (ERF) confirms the carcinogenicity of aspartame. The results of this study will be presented April 23, 2007 at the Mount Sinai Medical School of New York, where ERF Scientific Director Morando Soffritti will receive the third Irving J. Selikoff Award.

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener consumed by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. It is used in over 6,000 diet products including soft drinks, chewing gum, candy, desserts, yogurt as well as in pharmaceuticals, in particular, syrups and antibiotics for children. In 2005, the European Ramazzini Foundation published important experimental data demonstrating the carcinogenicity of aspartame. These data demonstrated for the first time that aspartame is a carcinogenic agent, inducing various types of malignant tumors in rats, even at dose levels currently considered acceptable for humans.

As soon as carcinogenic effects were perceived during this first study, the ERF began a second long term experiment, administering aspartame at low doses in feed to rats beginning during fetal life.

In a world exclusive, Italian news station TG2 announced on April 13th that the European Ramazzini Foundation will present the results of this second study at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine at the end of April when Scientific Director Dr. Morando Soffritti will receive the third Irving J. Selikoff Award. The news story may be viewed at: http://www.raiclicktv.it/raiclickpc/secure/list_content_tg.srv?id=1986#
