The creation, and subsequent introduction, of the man-made “poison” called Aspartame is one of the greatest downfalls of mankind over the last 50 years! That is quite a bold statement but it’s true.

I wanted to share this “whistle blower” information with you because it is a subject that has negatively impacted many people I know. Aspartame is deadly and highly political and you’re about to find out why…

Similar to MSG, Aspartame has been pushed onto the market to satisfy the wallets of key individuals and organizations with a vested interest in its success.

It is the hallmark ingredient of many diet sodas including Diet Coke. After this 2-part series on Aspartame’s side effects you may reconsider ever drinking another diet soda. It definitely has no place in a healthy diet.

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener that is marketed under a number of trademark names, including Tropicana Slim, Equal, NutraSweet, Spoonful, and Canderel. In the European Union, it is also known under the E number (additive code) E951.

Millions of people have reported symptoms and ill effects after ingesting Aspartame. In fact, in 1995, FDA Epidemiology Branch Chief Thomas Wilcox reported that Aspartame complaints represented 75% of all reports of adverse reactions to substances in the food supply from 1981 to 1995.
