Is It Poison?

Why is Aspartame so dangerous? When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86°F, the wood alcohol in Aspartame converts to formaldehyde it then becomes formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of ants. The methanol toxicity can mimic, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia and systemic lupus. I feel sure that many people are being diagnosed in error. Multiple sclerosis, nor any of the previously mentioned illnesses are not a death sentence, Methanol toxicity is! Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke or Pepsi drinkers. The sufferer usually does not know that Aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues to consume it; irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a life-threatening condition. Many therapists have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic, once taken off diet foods, also in cases of those ‘diagnosed’ with Multiple Sclerosis, many of the symptoms disappear. We’ve seen many cases where vision disturbance or loss returned and hearing loss improved markedly; this also applies to cases of tinnitus. A thought to bear in mind – If you or someone you know suffers from dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, unexplainable depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss you / they probably have Aspartame poisoning! BUT not all is lost; in the majority of cases it is reversible!

· Many food products are fortified with Aspartame, as a flavour enhancer.
· Diet drinks (diet Coke, Sprite, Pepsi …..) are NOT diet products! They are chemically altered, multiple sodium (salt) and Aspartame containing products that actually make you crave carbohydrates – it is far more likely to make you GAIN weight!
· Diet foods also contain formaldehyde, which stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. REMEMBER Formaldehyde is an absolute toxin and is used primarily to preserve “tissue specimens” in laboratories.
· Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics. Many patients diagnosed with retinopathy (disease of the retina resulting in impairment or loss of vision) in fact, had symptoms caused by Aspartame. Aspartame can cause the blood sugar to go out of control; the diabetic may suffer acute memory loss due to a neurotoxin being formed from aspartic acid and protein when not taken with other amino acids causing an imbalance. The treatment of Diabetes is about balance, aspartame passes the blood / brain barrier deteriorating the neurons of the brain, causing various levels of damage, depression, anger, panic attacks, rage even. The consumption of Aspartame causes this in Non Diabetics as well, BUT most diabetic recipes call for the use of ‘sugar substitutes’.
· Many children diagnosed with ADD or ADHD have a complete turn around when Aspartame is totally removed from the diet. Never mind the prescribed medication (Ritalin etc…) for behaviour modification. These drugs are / were probably never needed – most children that were prescribed them, were being poisoned on a daily basis by the very foods that were ‘Better for them than sugar’. BRING back sugar – STOP the use of Aspartame.
· Gulf War Syndrome – is there such an illness? Thousands (est. 500k) of pallets each containing ten thousand cans of diet Pepsi / Cola were consumed ….. I say no more.
