Aspartame: "diet" Poison!

[ID2002]

Aspartame or as it is known by brand name, "Nutrasweet" is a chemical found in most diet sodas and can cause SEVERE health problems if injested over a long time. The human body converts this compound into:

1) phenylalanine (50%) which can be neurotoxic and in some susceptible people will cause seizures

2) aspartic acid (40%) which can cause brain damage in the developing brain

3) methanol (10%) which turns into formaldehyde embalming fluid an obvious toxin.

....the worst of all this is that large softdrink companies and governmental health organisations have been paid off to keep their mouths shut. This chemical is a SERIOUS problem.

"Profit first, people second" political ideologies have got to stop!

.....your reactions to this?

Aspartame was known to be a poison when it was first okayed for human use. The rationale behind allowing it on the market is that a sugar substitute, even if poisonous, is better for obese and diabetic people than sugar. The more sensible alternative--no sugar at all, just a sensible diet with any sweets coming from fruits and vegetables alone, is objectionable to the diet industry.

bluerev002.... are you chemically sensitive? I mean, have you become sensitive to MSG, and other food additives? Do you get headaches often...or feel ill after eating foods which contain additives?

If so, it is quite possible that the Phenylalanine has cause some sensitisation. This is quite normal as Phenylalanine is a toxin. In pure form it is used in Labratory use to measure PH values and create some dyes, and is labelled as a poisonous chemical: harmful or fatal if injested/suspected cancer causing agent in gram sized amounts at 100% purity.

...if you stop using it, your body can repair the damage.

Exaggeration.

Real sugar is at least as bad for you as aspartame. Six of one, half a dozen of the other, in my opinion. Be like me. Eat organic honey.
