Aspartame was discovered in 1965 and is also known as NutraSweet and Equal. Equal is more easily recognized as the little blue packets' found on nearly every restaurant table in the U.S. Aspartame is sold around the world, found in thousands of products and consumed by millions of people.
Aspartame has 3 components: phenylalanine (50%), aspartic acid (40%), and methanol (aka wood alcohol)(10%). Why would you want to drink "wood alcohol"? It can be very poisonous to the body!
Aspartame is found in most diet sodas' and chewing gum', as well as many other food products. Don't delay start now and avoid aspartame where ever you find it!
READ YOUR FOOD LABELS !!
There have been more reports to the FDA for aspartame reactions than almost all other food additives combined. It is very important that people who have any interest in their health to NOT use the highly toxic sweetener aspartame and other questionable chemical sweeteners such as Splenda (yellow packets containing sucralose), and Sweet'N Low (pink packets with a mixture of saccharin and dextrose).
Aspartame can be found in thousands of products. Listed below are just a few items commonly purchased and consumed:
* instant breakfasts
* juice beverages
* milk drinks
* yogurts
* soft drinks
* wine coolers
* tea beverages
* gelatin desserts
* breath mints
* cereals
* sugar-free chewing gum
*cocoa mixes
* frozen desserts
Big business will tell you that they're "sugar-free" and an alternative to sugar'. What they don't tell you is that "artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and other sugar substitutes are tragically NOT HEALTHY or SAFE !! BIG business does not care about your health! It is all about company greed' and profits!
Aspartame Side Effects
Several health disorders resulting from aspartame are listed below. Some of the conditions can occur immediately with acute reactions or with some people, problems will develop over time.
* Headaches (including migraines)
* Seizures
* Vision problems
* Hives or Rash
* Heart problems
* Insomnia
* Birth defects
* Cancer
* Diabetes
* Mood Disorders
If you have any of the above symptoms or other health problems that you can not seem to overcome, then I strongly recommend that you give up all artificial sweeteners (for at least 30 days) and see if your health improves.
At this point, you would probably ask if the U.S. Congress is doing anything to protect the U.S. consumer from the dangers of aspartame and the answer is a definite "NO". So it is up to the general consumer to educate him/herself and boycott these substitute sugars that are a danger to everyone's health!

Top-level comments on this article: (4 total)Hi Howard.I would rather have use real brown sugar than using any of the the sugar substitutes. Thank you for a very informative article.Wishing you a happy birthday.Belatedly, welcome to Searchwarp!Best to you.NenitaThank you for your feedback. Much appreciated.
Yes, the jury is in and Aspartame has been found guilty! Due to its extensive use, though, it's tough to avoid.Great article and welcome to SearchWarp, Howard!Thanks, Ken . . . appreciate your comments.
Thanks Howard for this very informative article. I had already heard that diet drinks with aspertame might cause cancer, but I was not aware of all the infirmation you give. I still use Sweet and Low in my coffee, and have for a number of years. I have no evidence of anything having developed from it and I surely hope that nothing does. Coffee is my only addiction and I love the stuff so much better with Sweet and Low than with sugar.Thanks for your feedback. Would suggest that you try 'stevia' instead of sweet and low. Stevia is considered a safe sugar substitute without the negative affects of aspartame.
THANK YOU! My husband went off aspertame (after 25 years) and can now bend and not have pain in his muscle and joints and he was almost crippled! He coulnd't believe that it was a probklem until he went off and wow, new person! MarijoThanks Marijo. SO glad that your husband can feel the results! You are definitely a testimony as to the negative affects of Aspartame.
