Artificial Sweetener : "Aspartame" - A Sweet Killer

[Maxus-MIFA9]

I received this facts note from my friend through e-mail and was shock in what I had read. The mail read : "SWEET POISON" - A Must Read

 

"In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick. She had stomach spasms and she was having a hard time getting around. Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out of bed; she was in so much pain.

 

By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and was on 24 various prescription medications. The doctors could not determine what was wrong with her. She was in so much pain, and so sick.she just knew she was dying. She put her house, bank accounts, lifeinsurance, etc., in her oldest daughter's name, and made sure that her younger children were to be taken care of.

 

She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida (basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd.

 

On March 19 I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she said they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS.

I recalled an article a friend of mine e-mailed to me and I asked my sister if she drank diet soda? She told me that she did. As a matter of fact, she was getting ready to crack one open that moment.

 

I told her not to open it, and to stop drinking the diet soda! I e-mailed her the article my friend, a lawyer, had sent.

My sister called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation and told me she had stopped drinking the diet soda AND she could walk! The muscle spasms went away. She said she didn't feel 100% but she sure felt a lot better. She told me she was going to her doctor with this article and would call me when she got home.

 

Well, she called me, and said her doctor was amazed! He is going to call all of his MS patients to find out if they consumed artificial sweeteners of any kind. In a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet soda...and literally dying a slow and miserable death.

 

When she got to Florida March 22, all she had to take was one pill, and that was a pill for the Aspartame poisoning! She is well on her way to a complete recovery. And she is walking! No wheelchair! This article saved her life.

 

If it says 'SUGAR FREE' on the label; DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! I have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on 'ASPARTAME,' marketed as 'NutraSweet,' 'Equal,' and 'Spoonful.'

 

In the keynote address by the EPA, it was announced that in the United States in 2001 there is an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. It was difficult to determine exactly what toxin was causing this to be rampant. I stood up and said that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject.

 

I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous: When the temperature of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants. The methanol toxicity mimics, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. Many people were being diagnosed in error. Although multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, Methanol toxicity is!

 

Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. The victim usually does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues its use; irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a life-threatening condition.

We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic, once taken off diet sodas.

 

In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, most of the symptoms disappear. We've seen many cases where vision loss returned and hearing loss improved markedly.

 

This also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia.

During a lecture, I said, 'If you are using ASPARTAME (NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting, pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, unexplainable depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss you probably have ASPARTAME poisoning!'

 

People were jumping up during the lecture saying, 'I have some of these symptoms. Is it reversible?'

 

Yes! Yes! Yes! STOP drinking diet sodas and be alert for Aspartame on food labels! Many products are fortified with it! This is a serious problem.

 

Dr. Espart (one of my speakers) remarked that so many people seem to be symptomatic for MS and during his recent visit to a hospice, a nurse stated that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence!

 

Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is a chemically altered, multiple SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containing product that actually makes you crave carbohydrates. It is far more likely to make you GAIN weight!

 

These products also contain formaldehyde, which stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. Formaldehyde is an absolute toxin andis used primarily to preserve 'tissue specimens.' Many products we use every day contain this chemical but we SHOULD NOT store it IN our body!

 

Dr. H. J. Roberts stated in his lectures that once free of the 'diet products' and with no significant increase in exercise; his patients lost an average of 19 pounds over a trial period.

 

Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics.

 

The Aspartame drives the bloodsugar out of control. Thus diabetics may suffer acute memory loss due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are NEUROTOXIC when taken without the other amino acids necessary for a good balance.

 

Treating diabetes is all about BALANCE. Especially with diabetics, the Aspartame passes the blood/brain barrierand it then deteriorates the neurons of the brain; causing various levels of brain damage, seizures, depression, manic depression, panic attacks, uncontrollable anger and rage.

 

Consumption of Aspartame causes these same symptoms in non-diabetics as well.

 

Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects, i.e. mental retardation, if taken at the time of conception and during early pregnancy. Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and should NEVER be given artificial sweeteners. There are many different case histories to relate of children suffering grand mal seizures and other neurological disturbances talking about a plague of neurological diseases directly caused by the use of this deadly poison.'

 

This has been recently exposed in the New York Times. These [organizations] cannot criticize any additives or convey their link to MONSANTO because they take money from the food industry and are required to endorse their products.

 

Senator Howard Metzenbaum wrote and presented a bill that would require label warnings on products containing Aspartame, especially regarding pregnant women, children and infants. The bill would also institute independent studies on the known dangers and the problems existing in the general population regarding seizures, changes in brain chemistry, neurological changes and behavioral symptoms."

 

 

 

Unable to verify this report and should it be a poison as stated, our AVA could have stopped its sale in Singapore.

 

Anyway, just read it as for knowledgable information.

 

Cheers.

Hmmm....bad for Singapore then, they make this in Jurong Island...

[Boyboy]

it's in so d@mn many food products, hard to avoid.

 

but good to take heed and avoid whether it's true or exaggerated. i never liked the idea of artificial sweeteners anyway.

 

it's a pity my regular fix of wrigley's gum contains aspartame. gonna say goodbye to it after i finish my current "stock"

[Carndablues]

Oops, it's not Aspartame that we make here, but Splenda which is sucralose. Phew!

[Thestig]

Splenda is actually as bad as Aspartame. Or even worse.

[Thestig]

This article is actually part of a documentary called "Sweet Remedy: The World reacts to An Adulterated Food Supply"

 

It talks about the dangers of artificial sweeteners such as Equal, Splenda, etc. These are actually Neurotoxins that can cause Multiple Scolrosis or MS.

 

If you want to take articifial sweeteners, the only things that you should consider is Xylitol or Stevia. These are the safe ones.

 

How dangerous is Equal? It was banned in the US prior to 1981 when it was overturned in a lobby. Watch the film and make your own decision. I rather take regular sugar anytime than that crap they call Equal.

I think these emails just love to generate excessive paranoia from ignorance and half truths.

 

It's best to read up on your own when it comes to chain letters like this.

Just like eating grilled food (aka BBQ, satay, grilled chicken, otah), one can consume excessive carcinogenic components also what. But who the fuuck cares?

 

 

substitute sugar is like a 'god-sent' to people who have diabetes and cannot enjoy food with too much sugar.

 

 

the part where subsitute sugar used for dieting is a myth, please la, if you want to diet, still cheat yourself by drinking diet coke meh? should avoid all soft drinks already. really kns. I always tell people, want to drink coke, eat ice cream, go for the real thing, otherwise don't eat.

I have only one response to such ludricous bleeding heart letter writing.

 

SHOW ME THE NUMBERS.

 

Remember, the evidence doesn't lie. Witnesses do.

[Carndablues]

Remember, the evidence doesn't lie. Witnesses do.

 

You've been watching too much CSI!

[Genie47]

I'm a scientist. Numbers speak loud.

[Slowmo]

not to mention numbers are way more sexier than vague assumptions
