Aspartame is one of the most used artificial sweeteners in the food supply today and one of the most dangerous. Specifically, the toxic substance is often found in diet soft drinks and various candies, but you should also be aware that aspartame is present in a number of lesser-known conventional products as well, like: sugar free ice cream, chewing gum, breathmints, cereals, flavored water, hot cocoa powder, iced tea powder, no sugar added pies, nutritional bars, sugar free cookies and ketchup, drinkable/sugar free and fat free yogurts, ricola soothing cough drops, and over 6,000 other products. Table top sweeteners, especially Equal and Nutrasweet are aspartame. Aspartame is an addictive substance with most people who consume diet sodas regularly developing a craving for it.
Aspartame can cause headache, achy joints, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, nausea, diarrhea and high blood pressure immediately, but can also impair the immune system, cause pain or blindness in both eyes, severe depression, abdominal pain, pms and menstrual pain and changes, skin allergies, swelling & bloating, hyperactivity in children, peptic ulcers, irreversible brain damage, cancer, lupus, fibromyalgia, just to name a few and even death.
Eliminate Aspartame from your diet. Do not consume these sugar substitutes. Just because something has a ‘sugar free alternative’ doesn’t make it a ‘healthy’ substitute to sugar. Though refined sugar is terrible for the human body, consumers would actually be better off eating “regular” sugar than aspartame containing substitutes.
