Aspartame - Mass poisoning in progress...

Let's start with Aspartame. Without thought most of us consume this stuff daily, poisoning ourselves. This info, and these two videos will illustrate just why we should be worried, and why we should try to avoid the stuff as much as possible.


Aspartame (E951) controversy on Wikipedia

Sourced from www.earthways.co.uk:

Many patients diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) may in fact be suffering from some of the 92 already documented neurological symptoms now being attributed to methanol toxicity or “Aspartame Disease”, including fibromyalia, headaches, vertigo, tinnitus, numbness in the legs, blurred vision, slurred speech, depression and memory loss. In addition, an analysis of the incidence of brain tumours, carried out my Professor John Olney, Washington University, St Louis, USA, has demonstrated that there was an abrupt 10% increase in cases following the introduction of Aspartame in dry goods in 1981 and soft drinks in 1983.

Methanol, the toxin present in Aspartame, belongs to the same class of poisons as Cyanide and Arsenic. It is readily converted into formaldehyde and then into Formic Acid (the poison contained in the sting of Fire Ants) when subjected to prolonged storage of temperatures of 86 Degrees F or over in the body, this can result in metabolic acidosis and methanol toxicity affecting the brain, retina and nerves.

It is interesting to note that Aspartame is manufactured by the NutraSweet Corporation, a subsidiary of Monsanto, who, it is believed, are fully aware of the dangers of their product. However, as Monsanto also funds the American Diabetics Association, the American Dietetic Association, Congress and the Conference of the American College of Physicians, there appears to be a conspiracy of silence with regard to the dangers of this artificial sweetener which is contained in over 5,000 sugar-free products sold under the brand names of NutraSweet, Canderel, Equal and Spoonful.

The general advice is to read the labels and avoid!
