After listening to a Radio show about Aspartame, once again I am appalled. I always knew it was a bad ingredient, but it just keeps getting worse.

Aspartame is, by far, the most dangerous substance on the market that is added to foods.

Aspartame is the technical name for the brand names NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure. It was discovered by accident in 1965 when James Schlatter, a chemist of G.D. Searle Company, was testing an anti-ulcer drug. Aspartame is composed of 40% aspartic acid, 50% phenylalanine and 10% methanol. Over 75% of all food related complaints received by the FDA are associated with aspartame!!!

Aspartame was approved for dry goods in 1981 and for carbonated beverages in 1983. It was originally approved for dry goods on July 26, 1974, but objections filed by neuroscience researcher Dr John W. Olney and Consumer attorney James Turner in August 1974 as well as investigations of G.D. Searle's research practices caused the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to put approval of aspartame on hold (December 5, 1974). In 1985, Monsanto purchased G.D. Searle and made Searle Pharmaceuticals and The NutraSweet Company separate subsidiaries.

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.(1) A few of the 90 different documented symptoms listed in the report as being caused by aspartame include: Headaches/migraines, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, depression, fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision problems, hearing loss, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain.

FDA now allows Aspartame in Yogurt to be unlabeled. Its in Vitamins, 2 vaccines (collera and another one) and has many trade names to hide it from you. Its also known as E951, 951, often found in other countries. Other more known names are: Aspartame, NutraSweet, Canderel, Equal.

Aspartame reacts with other chemicals. It kills your brain cells because they become overactive. Its called an ExcitoToxin.

Their are 40 or 50 names for MSG!!! Check out all the sickening MSG pseudo-names at truthinlabeling.org to deceive you from the real thing! Holy crap, this is a war against consumers. They don't care about our health at all. All they care about is the bottom line, more addictions = MORE sales. The FDA says that all they need to do is dilute MSG more then 2% and they can call it something else! That makes me sick. This needs to go into Michael Moore's move Sicko. Sicko II! If it says "Natural and Artificial Flavors" you need to just assume its got MSG or some bad chemical the are masking from you. I love it, whats the use of itemizing an ingredient list, if you are going to sum up a percentage of it? What don't you just put "Natural Ingredients" under Ingredients and call it a day? Save us the pain. Heaven help us. Imagine incremental pain caused by lower health, family pain and medical traumas. Sickening.

Protect yourself, the food conglomerates and the FDA won't. Once again, follow the money.
