Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 hey, i have been saying this ever since my son turned 8yrs old and we found the fiengold diet. ASPARTAME is dangerous and if i can help it i won't eat or drink anything w/it! thanx for the info! " When diet sodas and soft drinks, sweetened with aspartame, are used to replace fluid loss during exercise and physical exertion in hot climates, the intake of methanol can exceed 250 mg/day or 32 times the Environmental Protection Agency's recommended limit of consumption for this cumulative poison. " > > Neurosurgeon Blaylock, MD, author of " Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills, " wrote about the relationship between aspartame and macular degeneration, diabetic blindness and glaucoma (all known to result from excitotoxin accumulation in the retina). > > The medical text, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, by Dr. H. J. is 1038 pages of symptoms and diseases triggered by this neurotoxin. The claim is made that aspartame has even caused the epidemic of obesity because it makes you crave carbohydrates so you gain weight, and the formaldehyde accumulates in the adipose tissue (fat cells) according to the Trocho Study. Further accusations are that aspartame is also responsible for the epidemic of diabetes as it not only can precipitate diabetes but simulates and aggravates diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy, can cause diabetics to go into convulsions and interacts with insulin. > > The effects of aspartame are documented by the FDA's own data. In 1995 the agency was forced, under the Freedom of Information Act, to release a list of ninety-two aspartame symptoms reported by thousands of victims. It appears this is only the tip of the iceberg. H. J. , MD, published the medical text " Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic " -- 1,000 pages of symptoms and diseases triggered by this neurotoxin including the sordid history of its approval. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Aspertame caused my stomach to ache. I don't use any of the sugar substitutes because they make me cramp. Sherry B--- In Fibromyalgia_Support_Group , " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 I have heard that it is very good, but also expensive. Isn't that the one made from sugar? I wonder if Trader Joe's has it.
