A Few Facts About Aspartame

Aspartame is made of four components one of which turns to formaldehyde at 94 degrees...
Diet sodas have the highest concentration... Above other products containing it
Other products with aspartame include:
sugar free chewing gum
yogurt- especially the type that is fruit flavored or contains a little fruit...
Flavored coffee creamers
Most of the little packets of sweetner
Sugar free jello and puddings

I really worry about diabetics. They are suffering one really bad disease anyway and they buy these sugar free products thinking they are completely safe. I can think right now of three people I know that have migraines that would not I am sure give up their diet soda for a while to see if it made any difference. We have become too trusting of what is on the grocery shelves.

Well this will give you an idea that you may need to become a label reader if you would like to avoid this.

I drank diet Cokes for several years with no problem whatsoever. There was a change in my system which allowed the aspartame to do it's evil deed.

It was never picked up by the three doctors I saw during those years. I was never asked about my diet and a blood test would have to be done designed to look for the substance and that was not what all the blood tests were looking for.

Yes people have died from complications of this...

They say that aspartame is on the market because it was decided years ago that it would only affect a small percentage of people. That small percentage could be in the thousands. If there are ten thousand people in this country that are having pain, it is not acceptable. I even fear that there have been knee surgeries done that were unnecessary.

I love my Coke and from the day I read the article I never drank another Diet Coke but I am still struggling with giving up a regular Coke here and there. If they can get to the moon, there ought to be a way to make products that don't hurt people. Think about all the problems with medications these days, it is getting downright frightening.
