Are you still drinking diet soda?

If so, you are choosing to consume one of the most controversial food additives approved by the FDA despite the overwhelming evidence of harm that it can produce in the body.

Yes, Aspartamine (Nutrasweet, Equal) is used in over 4000 products worldwide...not just in most of our diet pops! Experiments have demonstrated a direct correlation between the amount consumed and the incidence of tumors in the body.

Aspartame contains methanol, which breaks down into formaldehyde and formic Acid...both of which are toxic. In fact, formaldehyde has been shown to cause accumulative damage to our DNA. Another component of aspartamine is aspartic acid. Aspartate is referred to as an "excitotoxin" due to the nerve cell damage that it causes. Multiple sclerosis, Parkinsons, Alzheimers, epilepsy and ALS are just a few of the chronic illnesses linked to this toxic substance.

I would strongly think twice about consuming those products containing artificial sweetners particularily, Aspartame (Nutrasweet, Equal).

Does anyone have a story related to their use of Aspartame that they would like to share?
