Aspartame (E951) is an artificial sweetener, used in over 6000 products. The food industry claims that aspartame helps in losing weight, but why is obesity then becoming such an ever increasing problem?
Aspartame is a very sweet chemical, responsible for a host of health problems such as obesity, diabetes, MS, epilepsy, cancer, brain disorders, migraines, ADHD, etc.

Shocking aspartame documentary ‘Sweet Misery’:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0UDeydlEDM
The US Department of Health has recorded 92 (!) symptoms related to aspartame use. In fact, over 80% of all complaints filed with the FDA are aspartame related!
http://321recipes.com/symptoms.html
Aspartame breaks down into three toxic components:
1. Methanol.
This is poisonous alcohol. In the body, methanol breaks down into formaldehyde, which is a poison.
2. Phenylalanine.
This decreases the amount serotonin in your brain, which leads to mood swings (depressions) and an increased appetite! That is why aspartame is one of the main causes for the current obesity epidemic.
http://naturalnews.com/001253.html
3. Aspartic acid.
This is a neurological toxin comparable to MSG.
Do no longer believe the lies of the food industry and the ‘main stream’ media. Contrary to what so-called ‘health experts’ claim, aspartame is NOT safe!
In fact, aspartame is a sweet poison developed to make people sick so the pharmaceutical industry can sell expensive medication to ‘treat’ the chronic diseases that are caused by it’s use.
Avoid this toxic chemical for 60 days and discover how your health will improve dramatically!
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”
Hosea 4:6 (KJV)
Brand names for aspartame:
AminoSweet, NutraSweet, Equal, NatraTaste, Canderel, Spoonful, Equal-Measure, etc.
Caution! Aspartame is now being replaced in many products by sucralose (Splenda, E955) and/or Neotame (E961), but these sweeteners are also highly toxic!

Do you find it difficult to lose weight and live healthy?
The solution is actually quite simple.
Avoid all artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers and (partially) hydrogenated oils/fats (trans fats) as they are the main causes of obesity and disease.
Stop using fluoridated water and fluoridated toothpaste.
Have your dental amalgam silver fillings removed safely(!) as they cause mercury poisoning.
Do no longer use microwaves as they destroy up to 97% of the nutrients and vitamins in your food!
Read the book ‘Fit for Life’ by Harvey Diamond. This book will transform your life, you’ll never have to get on a diet again for the rest of your life!

About 200 times sweeter than the refined sugar it is meant to replace, Aspartame is the artificial sweetener used in such brands as Equal and Nutrasweet. Not long ago, aspartame was on a Pentagon list of biowarfare chemicals submitted to Congress — yet this lethal product remains on grocery shelves and continues to be highly touted in the media.
Most people interested in natural health will understand that artificial sweeteners are not healthy for you. But nearly everyone of us leads busy lives that limits us from reading all we would like to, especially about things that may not be that much of a problem anyway.
After all, millions of people drink diet sodas every day and they arent dropping dead like flies, and the government did approve this sweetener as safe so it cant be too bad.
Wrong, Wrong, Wrong
If you believe the above you are in for a sorry surprise. The beautiful aspect of this movie is that in a short ninety minutes you will easily in the relaxed comfort of your own home finally understand why aspartame is a toxic poison and needs to be avoided.

The Beverage that is Even WORSE than High Fructose Corn Syrup Soda
April 23 2012
By Dr. Mercola
When a new beverage comes out advertising “60% less sugar—drink it to believe it”—the challenge is on. Same taste; fewer calories to your waist? Sounds good, doesn’t it?
But before you throw that Pepsi Next into your grocery cart, Fooducate.comi suggests you complete the challenge by reading the ingredient label.
There you’ll find that, indeed, the sugar content has been reduced.
But it’s still the second ingredient after water—four teaspoons of it, in fact, in the form of high fructose corn syrup. The secret to keeping this beverage sweet-tasting, however, comes further on down, in the form of aspartame, acesulfame potassium, and sucralose.
So, really, all that’s changed with this new beverage is that 6 teaspoons of sugar have been substituted with three sweeteners that are even worse. Yes, although I strongly recommend avoiding all soda, you would be far better off with the strictly high fructose corn syrup sweetened version.
Artificial Sweeteners have No Place in a Healthful Diet…
Artificial sweeteners are frequently recommended as a practical way of replacing sugar found in the modern diet. But the research on nonnutritive sweeteners such as these three shows they’re far from healthful alternatives to sugar. (A recent article on HealthyFellow.com lists a few of them as a hand referenceii .First of all, contrary to popular belief, research has shown that artificial sweeteners can:
- Stimulate your appetite
- Increase carbohydrate cravings
- Stimulate fat storage and weight gain. In fact, diet sodas, which are well-known sources of artificial sweeteners, may actually double your risk of obesity!
So much for being a dieter’s best friend… Furthermore, aspartame (rebranded AminoSweet two years ago)—best known under the names of Nutrasweet and Equal—is believed to be carcinogenic and accounts for more reports of adverse reactions than all other foods and food additives combined.
The artificial sweetener acesulfame potassium (Acesulfame-K) has been linked to kidney problems, and sucralose—best known as Splenda—has been found to wreak havoc with the healthful bacteria in your gut… All in all, I believe ALL artificial sweeteners are bad news for your health.
Why Aspartame is FAR Worse than Sugar
While many of the artificial sweeteners have reportedly similar side effects, aspartame accounts for over 75 percent of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA. Many of these reactions are very serious, including seizures and death. About 90 different adverse effects have been linked to aspartame, including:
Headaches/migraines Muscle spasms Tachycardia/heart palpitations Anxiety attacks Dizziness/vertigo Weight gain Insomnia Slurred speech Seizures Rashes Vision problems Loss of taste Nausea Irritability and depression Tinnitus and hearing loss Memory loss Numbness Fatigue Breathing difficulties Joint pain Recent research also suggests diet sodas may increase stroke risk, and according to researchers and physicians studying the adverse effects of aspartame, the following chronic illnesses can be triggered or worsened by ingesting of aspartame:
Brain tumors Multiple sclerosis Epilepsy Chronic fatigue syndrome Parkinson’s disease Alzheimer’s disease Mental retardation Lymphoma Fibromyalgia Diabetes
Aspartame—”A Chemical Poison”?
The book “Prescription for Nutritional Healing” by James and Phyllis Balch lists aspartame under the category of “chemical poison.” While many still refuse to believe that toxic or otherwise health-harming ingredients would be allowed to be used in food manufacturing, the evidence against aspartame and other artificial sweeteners is, in my opinion, overwhelming…
Aspartame is made up of three chemicals:
- Phenylalanine (50 percent)—Phenylalanine is an amino acid normally found in your brain. Persons with the genetic disorder phenylketonuria (PKU) cannot metabolize phenylalanine and must avoid it at all costs to prevent the accumulation of phenylalanine in their brain, which can be lethal. It has been shown that ingesting aspartame, especially along with carbohydrates, can lead to excess levels of phenylalanine in the brain even in persons who do not have PKU. Excessive levels of phenylalanine in your brain can decrease your serotonin levels, which in turn can provoke emotional disorders such as depression.
- Aspartic acid (40 percent)—According to the work of Dr. Russell L. Blaylock, a professor of neurosurgery at the Medical University of Mississippi, there are about 500 scientific references showing that excess free excitatory amino acids such as aspartic acid and glutamic acid (about 99 percent of monosodium glutamate (MSG) is glutamic acid) in our food supply are causing serious chronic neurological disorders and a myriad of other acute symptoms.
Aspartate and glutamate act as neurotransmitters in your brain by facilitating the transmission of information from neuron to neuron. Excess aspartate or glutamate in your brain can kill off neurons by allowing the influx of too much calcium into your cells. This influx triggers excessive amounts of free radicals, which kill the cells. The neural cell damage that can be caused by excessive aspartate and glutamate is why they are referred to as “excitotoxins.” They literally “excite” or stimulate your neural cells to death. It is important not to confuse this with the amino acid glutamic acid, which is a normal part of foods and an important nutrient.
- Methanol (10 percent)—Methanol, also known as wood alcohol, is a deadly poison. It is gradually released in your small intestine once the methyl group of aspartame encounters the digestive enzyme chymotrypsin. Inside your body, methanol breaks down into formic acid and formaldehyde, the latter of which is another lethal neurotoxin and a known carcinogen, which passes freely through your blood brain barrier to cause brain damage.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), methanol is considered “a cumulative poison due to the low rate of excretion once it is absorbed. In the body, methanol is oxidized to formaldehyde and formic acid; both of these metabolites are toxic.” The EPA recommends limiting consumption of methanol to 7.8 mg/day. A one-liter (approx. 1 quart) aspartame-sweetened beverage contains about 56 mg of methanol. Heavy users of aspartame-containing products can consume as much as 250 mg of methanol daily, or 32 times the EPA limit. Signs and symptoms of methanol poisoning include:
| Headaches | Tinnitus | Dizziness / vertigo | Nausea | Gastrointestinal disturbances |
| Weakness | Chills | Memory lapses | Numbness | Behavioral disturbances |
| Neuritis | Vision problems: misty/blurry vision, contraction of visual field | Retinal damage | Blindness | Shooting pain in extremities (arms and legs) |

This is so scary to think that aspartame is in SOOO many things. I mean I even have a terrible time just trying to find gum without it.
Agave is my new favorite sweetener.
Thanks for sharing…
First I want to thank you for visiting my blog.:)
The scariest part is that they have gotten away with it and still are. Aspartame is in everything. Now the name has been changed to Neotame. It is a more concentrated form of Aspartame and deadlier in small doses. Amazingly none of these people, politicians or organizations have been held accountable. It is something that has become prevalent in our world. Monsanto (owns Searle and Roundup along with a myriad of GMO poisonous creations) has now told Vermont (who wants these poisons labeled that if they pass their labeling bill) they will sue if the bill is passed.
Since government officials and organizations cannot or will not protect us then it is our duty to become aware of what is in our food. The FDA , The EPA no longer represent us. They represent the corporations and Big Pharma. The only recourse left to us is the most powerful one our buying influence. We must educate ourselves and spend our money where it will make a difference. The dollar is their God, therefore it is time to test their resolve. If we stop spending our money on their products and find alternatives then they will hurt. It is attainable, consumers have done it with :pink slime”. We can do it with this as well. They will listen if it hurts their pockets.
Codex Alimentarius lists Aspartame as a viable and affordable food supplement that is approved for all foods even those that would not be considered sweet. It has been approved and will be followed by the U.S. Just as it is now being implemented and enforced in Europe. Don’t believe me , look it up for yourself . never take anyone’s word for anything unless you do the research yourself and see the evidence. The codex Alimentarius site is
http://www.codexalimentarius.org/
Go to Standards
http://www.codexalimentarius.org/standards/en/ and click on the hyper-linked food additives on the paragraph in the center of the page it will take you to this page
http://www.codexalimentarius.org/standards/gsfa-online-food-additives/en/
you will click on the PDF that lists the food additive standards under the Codex and you will find
ASPARTAME
INS 951 Aspartame Functional Class: Flavour enhancer, Sweetener
under the classification of
TABLE ONE
Additives Permitted for Use Under Specified
Conditions in Certain Food Categories or Individual
Food Items
we are not being given a choice it will be in almost everything. This has bee mandated by the United Nations and it has been agreed upon in our name by the government. Without our consent or input and against our wishes. The same codex also seeks to control the vitamins, mineral and natural supplements we now have a right to use under DSHEA. So it will in essence nullify that which “We The People” specifically said we wanted. the right to choose alternative and more healthy choices.
Sadly, Codex Alimentarius was adopted and became effective on December of 2010. Few people know about it as it has not yet been enforced. It took the U.K. 4 to years to enforce it in their country. Perhaps it will take the same amount of time here. We cannot be sure when, we can however be sure that it will be implemented unless overturned. Question is which of these bought and paid for officials will stand behind overturning a UN Mandate when they will not even stand up for the people on domestic issues here at home???
Unless we take a stand together as one people this will continue and our children will be poisoned by the very food they eat because all that matters to these people is the profit they stand to make by marketing their poisons and assisting these murderers to make a buck!
