This was e-mailed to me and I'd like to share it here...so many people ask me why it's so bad to injest things like Aspartame....I'm hoping that everyone in here are smart enough to know why and to steer clear!

Ok, so I know (am hoping) that everyone in here (at least most) are smart enough to stay away from artificial sweetners, as they completely counter act what they say they are doing.....but I keep being asked about why it's bad to injest artificial sweetners, the worst being Aspartame, so here are some points on Aspartame...this was e-mailed to me, so I want to share it here...

This is very important.... You be the Judge SWEET POISON A MUST READ

In October of 2001, a woman started getting very sick. She had stomach spasms and she was having a hard timegetting 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 prescriptionmedications. The doctors could not determine what was wrong with her. She said they didn't find anything on the tests, 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 thediet 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! In a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet soda...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 epidemicof 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 metabolicacidosis. Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants. The methanol toxicity mimics, among otherconditions, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. Many people were being diagnosed in error. Although multiplesclerosis is not a death sentence, Methanol toxicity is! Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis is, especially with Diet Coke and DietPepsi drinkers. The victim usually does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues its use;i rritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a life-threatening condition. We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptomatic, once taken off diet sodas. In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, most of the symptoms disappear. We've seen many caseswhere 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 AS- PARTAME (NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc) and you sufferfrom 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 youprobably 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 arefortified 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 hisrecent visit to a hospice, a nurse stated that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all beendiagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence!

Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is a chemically altered, multiple SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containingproduct 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 andthighs. Formaldehyde is an absolute toxin and is used primarily to preserve 'tissue specimens.' Many products we useevery 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 significantincrease in exercise; his patients lost an average of 19 pounds over a trial period. Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics.

We found that some physicians, who believed that they had a patient with retinopathy, in fact, had symptomscaused by Aspartame.The Aspartame drives the blood sugar out of control. Thus diabetics may suffer acute memory loss due to thefact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are NEUROTOXIC when taken without the other amino acids necessary for a goodbalance. Treating diabetes is all about BALANCE. Especially with diabetics, the Aspartame passes the blood/brainbarrier and 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.Documentation and observation also reveal that thousands of children diagnosed with ADD and ADHD have hadcomplete turnarounds in their behavior when these chemicals have been removed from their diet. So called 'behaviormodification prescription drugs' (Ritalin and others) are no longer needed. Truth be told, they were never NEEDED inthe first place! Most of these children were being 'poisoned' on a daily basis with the very foods that were 'betterfor them than sugar.' It is also suspected t hat the Aspartame in thousands of pallets of diet Coke and diet Pepsi consumed by menand women fighting in theGulf War, may be partially to blame for the well-knownGulf War Syndrome. Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects, i.e . mental retardation, if taken at the time ofconception 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 neurologicaldisturbances talking about a plague of neurological diseases directly caused by the use of this deadly poison.' Herein lies the problem:There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was included in 100 different products and strong objectionwas made concerning its use. Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, and still nothing hasbeen done. The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets. Sadly, MONSANTO'S patent on Aspartame has EXPIRED!There are now over 5,000 products on the market that contain this deadly chemical and there will bethousands more introduced. Everybody wants a 'piece of the Aspartame pie.' I assure you that MONSANTO, the creator ofAspartame, knows how deadly it is. And isn't it ironic that MONSANTO funds, among others, theAmerican Diabetes Association, the AmericanDietetic Association and the Conference of the American College of Physicians? This has been recently exposed in theNew York Times.

These [organizations] cannot criticize any additives or convey their link to MONSANTO because they takemoney from the food industry and are required to endorse their products Senator Howard Metzenbaumwrote 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 studieson the known dangers and the problems existing in the general population regarding seizures, changes in brain chemistry,neurological changes and behavioral symptoms. The bill was killed. It is known that the powerful drug and chemical lobbies are responsible for this, letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting and uninformed public.

The documentary 'Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World' is very informative. I'm sure you can find it on YouTube or a similiar site. Everybody should take the time to watch the whole thing. In the end, it's the same old song and dance...Money as usual is more important than the well being of people.

One thing of interest...Searle pharmaceuticals brings in Donald Rumsfeld as their CEO in or around 1975 because they can't get the FDA to approve aspartame. So, of course he has friends in high places and turns the whole thing into a political issue.
