Dangers of Aspartame Poisoning



The dangers of aspartame poisoning have been a well guarded secret since the 1980s. The research and history of aspartame is conclusive as a cause of illness and toxic reactions in the human body.



Aspartame is a dangerous chemical food additive, and its use during pregnancy and by children is one of the greatest modern tragedies of all.



Why haven't you heard about aspartame poisoning before? Partly because the diet industry is worth trillions of American dollars to corporations, and they want to protect their profits by keeping the truth behind aspartame's dangers hidden from the public.



When NutraSweet® was introduced for the 'second' time in 1981, a diet craze revolutionized America's eating protocols and a well-oiled money machine was set into motion changing modern lifestyles.



After more than twenty years of aspartame use, the number of its victims is rapidly piling up, and people are figuring out for themselves that aspartame is at the root of their health problems.



Patients are teaching their doctors about this nutritional peril, and they are healing themselves with little to no support from traditional medicine.




There are over 92 different health side effects associated with aspartame consumption. It seems surreal, but true. How can one chemical create such chaos?


Aspartame dissolves into solution and can therefore travel throughout the body and deposit within any tissue. The body digests aspartame unlike saccharin, which does not break down within humans.



The multitude of aspartame side effects are indicative to your genetic individuality and physical weaknesses. It is important to put two and two together, nonetheless, and identify which side effects aspartame is creating within you.




Aspartame Side Effects



The components of aspartame can lead to a number of health problems, as you have read. Side effects can occur gradually, can be immediate, or can be acute reactions.

According to Lendon Smith, M.D. there is an enormous population suffering from side effects associated with aspartame, yet have no idea why drugs, supplements and herbs don’t relieve their symptoms.

Then, there are users who don’t ‘appear’ to suffer immediate reactions at all. Even these individuals are susceptible to the long-term damage caused by excitatory amino acids, phenylalanine, methanol, and DKP.



Adverse reactions and side effects of aspartame include:



Eye

blindness in one or both eyes

decreased vision and/or other eye problems such as: blurring, bright

flashes, squiggly lines, tunnel vision, decreased night vision

pain in one or both eyes

decreased tears

trouble with contact lenses

bulging eyes





Ear

tinnitus - ringing or buzzing sound

severe intolerance of noise

marked hearing impairment




Neurologic

epileptic seizures

headaches, migraines and some severe

dizziness, unsteadiness, both

confusion, memory loss, both

severe drowsiness and sleepiness

paresthesia or numbness of the limbs

severe slurring of speech

severe hyperactivity and restless legs

atypical facial pain

severe tremors




Psychological/Psychiatric

severe depression

irritability

aggression

anxiety

personality changes

insomnia

phobias




Chest

palpitations, tachycardia

shortness of breath

recent high blood pressure




Gastrointestinal

nausea

diarrhea, sometimes with blood in stools

abdominal pain

pain when swallowing




Skin and Allergies

itching without a rash

lip and mouth reactions

hives

aggravated respiratory allergies such as asthma





Endocrine and Metabolic

loss of control of diabetes

menstrual changes

marked thinning or loss of hair

marked weight loss

gradual weight gain

aggravated low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)

severe PMS



Other

frequency of voiding and burning during urination
excessive thirst, fluid retention, leg swelling, and bloating
increased susceptibility to infection



Additional Symptoms of Aspartame Toxicity include the most critical symptoms of all

death

irreversible brain damage

birth defects, including mental retardation

peptic ulcers

aspartame addiction and increased craving for sweets

hyperactivity in children

severe depression

aggressive behavior

suicidal tendencies



Aspartame may trigger, mimic, or cause the following illnesses:

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Epstein-Barr

Post-Polio Syndrome

Lyme Disease

Grave’s Disease

Meniere’s Disease

Alzheimer’s Disease

ALS

Epilepsy

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

EMS

Hypothyroidism

Mercury sensitivity from Amalgam fillings

Fibromyalgia

Lupus

non-Hodgkins

Lymphoma

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)


These are not allergies or sensitivities, but diseases and disease syndromes. Aspartame poisoning is commonly misdiagnosed because aspartame symptoms mock textbook ‘disease’ symptoms, such as Grave’s Disease.

Aspartame changes the ratio of amino acids in the blood, blocking or lowering the levels of serotonin, tyrosine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and adrenaline.

Therefore, it is typical that aspartame symptoms cannot be detected in lab tests and on x-rays. Textbook disorders and diseases may actually be a toxic load as a result of aspartame poisoning.


Ever gone to the doctor with real, physical symptoms, but he/she can’t find the cause? Well, it’s probably your diet, your environment, or both.


Aspartame is the common denominator for over 92 different health symptoms at the root of modern disease.
The Aspartame Detoxification Program demonstrates the most effective way to reverse disease symptoms is removing the underlying cause - aspartame.



Steps:

Remove all sugar-free products with aspartame from your diet.

Learn to 'read' your body. Begin recording any health changes.

Be happy with yourself.

Detoxify.

Restore depleted nutrients.

Exercise and get plenty of rest.

Eat 75% raw foods at every meal.

Drink water, water, water.

Get control of your life.

Th following was found in David Icke's book, Infinite Love is the only Truth Everything Else is Illusion:


The loudest voice behind GM (foods) is Monsanto of St Louis, Missouri, one of the most important Illuminati companies on the planet. These were the guys behind Agent Orange, used to grotesque effect in the Vietnam War and this is also the corporation marketing the brain-scrambler known as aspartame. This was manipulated through the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 'saftey checks' by Donald Rumsfeld, the US Defense Secretary under Boy George Bush, and CEO of Seale Pharmaceuticals when he used his buddies in the Reagan-Father Bush administration to have fundamental doubts about the safety of aspartame ignored. Searle later sold out to Monsanto and now aspartame is in ever-growing number of drinks and foodstuff, a trend only stemmed by the fear of class action lawsuits over its effect on human health.
You will find aspartame in instant breakfasts, breath mints, cereals, sugar-free chewing gum, cocoa mixes, frozen desserts, gelatine desserts, juices, laxatives, multivitamins, milk drinks, pharmaceutical drugs and supplements, shake mixes, soft drinks, tabletop sweeteners, teas, instant coffees, topping mixes, wine coolers and yoghurt. And these are only some examples. Aspartame is 200 times sweeter than sugar and marked under its own name and trademarked brands like NurtaSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure. Some of the 90 different documented symptoms reported to be caused by aspartame include (as Yasmine mentioned above):
headaches/migraines, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, depression, fatigue, irritability, tachycardia (abnormally rapid heart rate), insomnia, vision problems, hearing loss, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss and joint pain. The reason for this appalling catalogue of dis-ease is that aspartame disrupts the DNA communication system!
The US Air Force formally warned all its pilots not to consume diet drinks in their official flying safety bulletin in May and August 1992 because of the effects of aspartame on their ability to fly a plane. Many other non-military pilots have complained of the same symptoms, including seizures. A 1990 edition of Plane and Pilot magazine told the story of an Air Force pilot who traces the patterns old tremors and seizures he suffered for two years directly to his consumption of NutraSweet. When he stopped drinking diet sodas his symptoms stopped, but when he resumed so did the tremors. His problems worsened until a grand mal seizure ended his career. But, once again, his symptoms disappeared when he ditched the NutraSweet. Plane and Pilot also reported this case:

'After only two cups of artifically sweetened hot chocolate, a pilot experienced blurred vision so severe he was unable, in flight, to read the instruments and very narrowly avoided a tragic landing. Safely on the ground, he related his symptoms to the secretaries in his office. [He told] of experiencing similar symptoms after ingesting aspartame products.'

Aspartame contains methanol (wood alcohol), a poison that causes blindness and death. Two teaspoons are considered lethal. Smaller doses destroy the brain (DNA central processing unit) little by little, because the effects are cumulative. Depending on the tolerance level of the person, the effects can be severe like epileptic seizures, including grand mal, blindness, chest palpitations, blurred vision, bright flashes, tunnel vision, ringing or buzzing in the ears, migraine headaches, dizziness and loss of equilibrium. Other psychological problems are caused by the phenylalanine in aspartame depleting levels of seratonin, a brain chemical and neurotransmitter that regulates, among other things, behaviour and sleep patterns. Labratory tests have also shown that aspartame can change the DNA. Here we go again, and this is the prime reason behind the daily chemical bombardment through food, drink and environmental sources. Imagen what the effect on children is going to be of all the aspartame-poisoned shite they are consuming by the bucketful today, especially in soft drinks (David writes).
Damage to the brain and the DNA is a constant theme when you research the poisons that infest what we consume, breathe, and absorb through technologies. Aspartame is what is called an exitotoxin, or neurotoxin, and so is the 'flavour enhancer', monosodium glutamate, or MSG.

A little about MSG then:

You'll find this in almost every mass-produced foodstuff and it tricks the brain to taste more flavour than is actuallly there. It is often disguised in the list of ingredients as 'natural flavour/flavourings' ( I always wondered what they ment- 'natural' flavour?), when it is nothing of the kind in the form it is used. MSG also hides behind the terms like 'hydrolyzed', 'autolyzed', and yeast extract or nutrient, among many other pseudonyms! Americans alone apparently consume 160 million pounds of this stuff every year and yet it is a brain poison. Dr George Schwart, a toxicologist and author, says that two tablespoons of MSG will kill a dog in minutes. Some of the health effects linked to MSG include heart problems, Alzeimer's, Parkinson's, asthma, cancer, birth defects, obesity and...brain damage. MSG attacks what is called the brain-blood barrier, a defence sytem that normally prevents toxins entering the brain. Even tiny amounts of toxic substances like MSG and aspartame can cause the brain cell to so overreact that it becomes exhausted and dies (aspartame caused brain tumors in rats!). Hence they are called exitotoxins. MSG, a crystalline substance like DNA, damages parts of the brain like the hypothalamus that governs many systems in the body.
As with aspartame, MSG causes food cravings and can make people fat. The epidemic of obesity exploding across the world is largely caused by these additives, the use of which has mirrored the rise in overweight people. The epidemic is caused to a large extent by the effect on the hypothalamus that regulates hunger and weight. Rats fed MSG became massively obese and their hypothalamus was found to be in a shocking state. Another similarity with aspartame is the way MSG was allowed onto the market without adequate safety checks and of the later sudies into its health effects have been conducted-as usual- by 'researchers' linked to the food giants. The food corporations that profit massively from MSG say that it's safe. Phew, that's okay, then, you had me worried for a second.

Aspartame


Case Study: A 54-year-old female on maintenance imipramine 150 mg/day for 5 years suddenly experienced a grand mal seizure followed by her first manic episode several weeks after switching from sugar to aspartame to sweeten as much as 1 gal iced tea daily. She did well after switching back to sugar (Walton RG. Seizure and mania after high intake of aspartame. Psychosomatic 27(3):21820, 1986).


Observational Study: 171 patients aged 9-81 with different types of headache were surveyed. 8.2% reported aspartame as a trigger. Three times more migraine pts. (10.6%) than pts. with other types of headache (3.4%) reported aspartame as a precipitating factor (Lipton R et al. Aspartame as a dietary trigger of headache. Headache 29:90-92, 1989).


Experimental Double-blind study: Compared to placebo. 11 pts. who ingested aspartame experienced a significant increase on the frequency of migraines which also lasted longer (Koehler SM, Glaros A. The effect of aspartame on migraine headaches. Headache 28(1):10-14, 1988).

In labratory experiments, every species of animals fed MSG developed brain lesions and infant animals were especially susceptible as they had not yet developed an effective blood-brain barrier. An amount of MSG comparable to that which would have been found in five 113-gram (four-ounce) jars of baby food produced nerve-cell death in seven out of nine baby animals. Adult animals treated ( )with MSG displayed arrested skeletal development, market obesity and sterility in the females. In other labratory experiments, additional adverse effects were noted in the retina of the eye and in the liver. Although MSG was removed from baby food in 1969, it was reinstated under the guise of hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP), which contains up to 40% monosodium glutamate. As this information became public knowledge, the baby food industry decided to remove HVP from their products in 1978. This shows the power if consumer action!

Disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate, Disodium EDTA- may be used in ale, beer, light beer, malt liquor, porter, stout, salad dressing, mayonnaise, canned foods, unstandardized dressings and sauces, potatoe salad, sandwich spread, (canned) shrimp, tuna, clam, lobster and salmon, margarine, soft drinks and ready-to-drink teas as a sequestering agent. Medically, it is used as a detoxicant to treat poisonings by lead or other heavy metals. Its used in this capacity in humans has produced clear evidence of kidney damage.

Food manufacturers use calcium disodium EDTA to bind with metals which may enter food from mixing containers. These metals could change the texture, colour or flavour of the foods. In excessive amounts, EDTA can cause a mineral imbalance in the body as it traps clacium, iron and other nutrients and prevents the body from using them. It is known to inhibit blood-clotting and can cause muscle cramps, intestinal upsets and blood in the urine. In animal experiments, it caused disruption of the cellular metabolism leading to chromosome damage. This additive is particularly dangerous because it is ingested by consumers in so many foods and beverages every day. EDTA is on the FDA's priority list to be studied for mutagenic, teratogenic, subacute and reproductive effects. Authorized for use in Canada and the United States.
