Aspartame “Sweet misery”
I have never been as disgusted with the food industry as I have been during the last 24 hours.
I saw a DVD. ASPARTAME SWEET MISERY and was not overly surprised but I got progressively concerned.
What is Aspartame:
Aspartame is a chemical sweetener which is used massively by the soft drinks companies.
It is made up by aspartic acid, phenylalanine & methyl ester. Methyl ester is meth alcohol i.e wood alcohol which is a very serious poison. When the body breaks down methyl ester it turns to formaldahyde ( used as an embalming fluid).
Major rise in brain tumours:
In the US in 1984 6,900,000lb of aspartame was comsumed and this amount doubled by 1985.
Between 1983-1984 brain tumour were up by 10% in the US. Diabetes up by 30% and brain lymphoma up by 60%.
Aspartame also causes MS, & seizures and much much more including ( as shown in a research study ) occular bleeding i.e bleeding from the eyes.
GRAS:
Aspartame is listed as being a GRAS product. GRAS meaning generally recognised as safe.
When something is classified as “generally recognised as safe” it means that it only kills 1 in 1 million people!
The FDA claim that Aspartame is the most thoroughly tested foodstuff, although there has been an awful lot of testing on this product the test results are very freightening. And bear in mind that a lot of the research on this produt has been funded by Nutrasweet and soft drinks companies.
In one study conducted on monkeys that consumed the aspartame in milk 1 monkey died and 5 had gran mal seizures.
MSG:
MSG, monosodium glutamate was removed from baby food as it was shown that MSG caused holes in the brains of rats that were being tested. It has been shown that Aspartame does the same thing!
A quick trip to the corner shop:
I was telling my dad the other day what I had come accross and told him a little about Aspartame and the dangerous effects it has on the body. He asked if it was on the label so I went to my corner sho & within 5 minutes I found Aspartame in the following:
Diet pespsi, diet coke, pepsi light, robinsons fruit shoots ( this is designed for kids!), edbull, fanta, powerade isotonic drink ( made by coca cola), nestle milk straws,trident splash gum, wrigglys extra, wrigglys airwaves, hubba buba bubble tape and muller light yoghurts. This was in just 5 minutes.
Last night I was even more angered when I saw the official FDA list of what Aspartame can cause and what foodstuffs contained it.
Official FDA list: Coutesy of www.dorway.com
When I saw this list and read at the bottom of the table that Aspartame is used in chewable vitamin tablets I went to look at my bottle of vitamin C and read label. IT DID contain Aspartame. How angry was I.
Methyl Ester in nature:
Methyl Ester in nature is found in larger quantities in fruit but, in nature methyl is bound to pectin. Humans lack the enzyme to break down pectin so the methyl the naturally occuring Methyl can pass through the human body doing no harm whatsoever. Nature is so clever like that but Methyl ester on its own is highly dangerous.
Death by methyl ester:
Diane Fleming got a 50 year jail sentence for murdering her husband by methylanol poisoning. You can see her interviewed in the film Aspartame sweet misery.
Her attorney neglacted to mention that her husband was a big consumer of aspartame products. It does look very likely that consuming these products did cause his death.
Where can I find out more?
There are many sites on aspartame but a good one to chect out is www.dorway.com
Watch the film:

Hi all,
ASPARTAME
I had a massive brain tumor in 1994, I was told by doctors that I would not walk again due to the damage caused and further more that if I had never taken any products with ASPARTAME I would have not had the brian tumor. We should all strive to have a healthy and balenced lifestyle and try not to take on board such products such as ASPARTAME in to our bodies. I would like also to comment on Juice Plus as it has been mentioned before, I have been on Juice Plus for seven years now. Juice plus is 17 Raw fruits and veg and is my cap filler in my life between the RAW fruits and veg I try and eat, and all the ones I fail to eat. Since being on Juice Plus I feel my body now has all the natural defences it needs to fight of anything.
It took me over six months to learn to walk again had I stayed clear of man made products know to cause harm and eatin enough Raw fruits and veg EVERYDAY! I might not have had to go through what I did.
Thank God for Juice Plus, without it I fear I would not even manage to eat half of the Raw fruits and veg that I need daily.

Informative post. You have a new subscriber:) Thanks again, Malcolm
About early 2000, I started to drink lots of diet drinks that were being introduced at our local shop and I thought that it didn’t taste any different from the non-diet ones that they had. However, after a few months, I started to feel a numbness on my right arm and I am even awaken by the said numbness several times during the night. This numbness happens even when I am positioned upright and no pressure has been given to my right side. I immediately gave up on the diet drinks. It will just be regular for me from then on or better yet, pure water nothing else.
