DIET
SODA-LESS CALORIES, MORE SIDE EFFECTS!
published 1 March 2001
At the World Environmental Conference aspartame was suggested
to have “critical devastating” effects on the body.
Aspartame, marketed as Nutrasweet, Equal and Spoonful, is found in most,
if not all, diet sodas. Symptoms
such as fibromyalgia, spasms, shooting pains, numbness of the legs, cramps,
vertigo, seizures, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), joint
pain, depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision and memory
loss were sighted in conjunction with aspartame consumption.
Some doctors believe that methanol poisoning from aspartame mimics
multiple sclerosis, leading to mis-diagnosis as MS. Systemic lupus is believed to be another mis-diagnosis of
this poisoning. Doctors are finding
relief of symptoms when patients are removed from aspartame, yet it is still on
the market. There are 92 documented
symptoms of aspartame, from comma to death.
Birth defects such a mental retardation, have also been linked to
aspartame poisoning. The original
lab tests resulted in brain tumors in animals.
Senator Howard Metzenbaum recently wrote a bill that would
have instituted independent studies, but it was killed by the powerful drug and
chemical lobbies. This is just
another example of how important it is for consumers to not blindly trust the
government or any other organization to always look after the health interest of
the consumer. Now days you need to
be careful with anything you put into your body, especially things that don’t
occur naturally and are generated in a lab or chemical plant.
Lots of people, in a well-meaning attempt to reduce their sugar intake,
have turned to diet sodas. If you
know anyone that has the types of symptoms mentioned above and drinks a lot of
diet soda, tell them to speak to a health professional and get the latest
information from a non-biased source.
