Evil Aspartame

Aspartame is totally safe. There are ZERO credible studies done that show any ill effects to the general population. Of course the typical reply to that is that "Everyone in the freaking world has been paid off by Monsanto!!" Lol.

Let's look at some FACTS and try to make this as simple as possible.

Aspartame metabolizes, (breaks down in the body), COMPLETELY into three metabolites. Those metabolites are phenylalanine, aspartic acid, and methanol. The first two are naturally occurring amino acids found in much higher concentrations in regular foods such as soy, eggs, , dairy. foul, fish, seeds, etc. Methanol, while sounding scary is found in things like tomatoes, black currants, and strawberries. So... if you still wish to be afraid of Aspartame you should probably avoid all the foods listed above as well as hundreds of others I haven't listed.

Sugar-free = good for weight Ioss

When the sugar is taken out, artificial (chemical) sweeteners are put in.

Not only are these harmful to your health, but studies have shown that they make you crave carbohydrates and actually make you eat MORE--which increases the number on your scale!

Here is just a partial list of the health effects of Aspartame (aka Equal or NutraSweet):

Eyes:
-Blindness in one or both eyes
-Decreased vision and/or other eye problems such as blurring, flashes, tunnel vision
-Eye pain; Dry eyes/decreased tears

Nerves:
-Seizures
-Headaches/migraines
-Dizziness
-Confusion/memory loss
-Severe drowsiness and sleepiness
-Numbness of the arms and legs
-Slurring of speech
-Tremors/trembling

Psychological/Psychiatric:
-Severe depression
-Irritability/agitation
-Anxiety/phobias (fears)
-Personality changes

Chest:
-Heart palpitations/rapid heart beat
-Shortness of breath
-High blood pressure

Digestive:
-Nausea
-Diarrhea, sometimes with blood in stools
-Stomach pain/pain while swallowing

Skin and Allergies:
-Itching without a rash; Hives

Endocrine and Metabolic:
-Loss of control of diabetes
-Thinning or loss of hair
-Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
-Severe PMS symptoms

The most severe effects of aspartame poisoning are:
-Death
-Irreversible brain damage
-Birth defects, including mental retardation
-Ulcers
-Aspartame addiction and increased craving for sweets
-Hyperactivity in children
-Severe depression
-Aggressive behavior
-Suicidal tendencies
-Cancer

because natural occurring substances and factory-made ones are in some way comparable.

Nice try, troll.

<---Ph. D in toxicology....drinking aspartame RIGHT NOW as I post.

Not impressive when you have known MDs who smoked or drank like fish.

How how about all of those PhD scientists who've taken loads of money to prop up the likes of Monsanto? (No need to answer that. Rhetorical question.)

Their advanced degrees have only served to prop up their own greed, while helping with the infestation of the food supply with frankenseeds.

Oh, scary aspartame! What about Dihydrogen Monoxide:


- is called "hydroxyl acid", the substance is the major component of acid rain.
- contributes to the "greenhouse effect".
- may cause severe burns.
- is fatal if inhaled.
- contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
- accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
- may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
- has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

- as an industrial solvent and coolant.
- in nuclear power plants.
- in the production of Styrofoam.
- as a fire retardant.
- in many forms of cruel animal research.
- in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
- as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.
