Aspartame

(NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, additive 951)

Many researchers, scientists and doctors agree that there are a huge number of people from all over the world suffering from the side effects associated with aspartame ingestion. Many of those suffering have no idea that their choice of sweetener could be poisoning them.

It seems somewhat ironic that, for most people, the inclusion of aspartame into their diet is a direct result of the desire to lose weight and get healthier. Unfortunately, aspartame has been shown to actually slow metabolism which impedes weight loss.

To increase metabolism, a product like Metabocel is ideal as it contains supportive herbs and minerals to promote effective weight loss and to support maximum fat burning.

The components of aspartame are 50% phenylalanine, 40% aspartic acid and 10% methanol (in the body methanol breaks down into formaldehyde [embalming fluid] and formic acid).

Ingesting this nasty chemical cocktail can lead to a number of health problems.

People have found that side effects can show up immediately, gradually or may present as acute reactions. 

There are also users who don’t appear to be suffering from any immediate side effects at all. However, these individuals are also susceptible to the long-term damage caused by excitatory amino acids, phenylalanine, methanol, and DKP.

Unfortunately, aspartame poisoning can be misdiagnosed because aspartame symptoms mock textbook ‘disease’ symptoms, such as Multiple Sclerosis.

The ratio of amino acids in the blood is changed by aspartame – it blocks or lowers the levels of serotonin, tyrosine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and adrenaline. It is therefore quite typical that aspartame symptoms cannot be detected in lab tests and on x-rays.

There are over 92 reported health symptoms of aspartame poisoning which have been noted by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Check here for the full list
