Thanks for making the public aware of the dangers of ingesting artificial sweeteners. From personal experience, I know that aspartame is a neurotoxin. My migraines & vision problems completely resolved after eliminating aspartame from my diet (in sugarless gum & Centrum chewable vitamins). My daughter’s severe panic attacks stopped once she stopped drinking Diet Coke.
Check labels carefully & do not purchase anything with artificial sweeteners! They are even in prescription drugs such as antibiotics. Folks don’t realize that they are a hazard to the public’s health & never should have been approved by the FDA.

I was just informed that Aspartame effects seizures, is this true? I use sweet & low alot & diet sodas. I have never heard of this before & would like to know if this is true? If anybody out there could help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

Yes, there is a detox that can affect some people. Fake sugars dehydrate the body, among other things. I’ve had clients stop suddenly and have severe headaches, body pain (the aspartame can mask pain until it is stopped – affects neurotransmitters), and in general feel miserable. Go off slowly and drink lots of water. In the long run your body will be so grateful.

The artificial sweeteners cause you to gain weight. Affects metabolism. Leaches precious minerals from the bones and slips across the blood brain barrier You are drinking aluminum along with the liquid as the citric acid in the cola drags the aluminum into it. It is a neurotoxin. See Blaylock’s book “Excitotoxins”. It is “sweet poison”. The sweet drinks will cause weight gain. Sugar is sugar and can be like a drug. Best of luck to you.

Colton, I tried the Strawberry Star Fruit and Mandarin Orange All Sport Naturally Zero flavors the other day when someone was sampling them. They’re pretty good.

I read a lot about aspartame. I made an article as well base on my research. you can find it on my blog for additional information. It so nice to know that there are lots of people who spread the news to share and make everyone aware in what they are eating or substance they use in their food or drinks. Like you Doc i just want to make people aware in what they are taking or eating. I just want them people to be healthy. Thanks for additional info.

Thank you for this helpful article! My mom has been drinking diet sodas daily for 20 years and I keep trying to find information to educate her that it’s harmful to her health even though it’s supposedly “safe” for diabetics. Even if one drinks soda in moderation, is there such a thing as a “safe” level of consuming aspatarme? I would think that even one can of diet soda – 12 ounces – has way too much aspatarme for human consumption.

I’m glad to see this article for the public’s benefit. My wife had suffered with migraines for years and we finally discovered that one of the main triggers was Aspartame. When she stopped drinking things that contained Aspartame, she was able to get her migraines under control.

Anything fake for a long period of time is never good. I am trying to use all natural (even butter, bread, oil, sugar, etc.) because substituting fake just to lose a little weight is never a good idea.

Sweet N’ Low has Sucralose, a sugar substitute that is FDA approved. However some say the dangers of sucralose are worse than that of aspartame.

I chewed gum everyday since I was a kid, and I would have a headache in the afternoon and most nights. Doctors said it was stress related (when I was 8!) In my 20’s I discovered what aspartame does to the brain and nervous system and so I stopped chewing gum found in every kind of gum – and guess what – my headaches went away!

By the way, if you look for the warning label: “Contains phenylalanine,” that’s one of the three ingredients in aspartame. Phenylalanine is an amino acid that over stimulates the brain…
