Reply #5: ASPARTAME IS VERY BAD NUTRASWEET IS POISON

[dreamcollector]

I didn't read your whole post. Knowing how aspartame got approved should make you suspicious enough. <www.dorway.com> is a rather messy and sensational seeming web site but I'd trust the content more than some of the professional journals. I am a doctor's wife (Canadian) and when aspartame was approved in Canada my husband and all his colleagues put out the word no members of their family were to consume any products containing aspartame. Years later, divorced from my spouse, I drank gallons of diet pepsi and went blind in one eye. (Aspartame attacks the optic nerve.) A few years later still I began to have burning and stinging eyes and silver flashes and floaters in both eyes. Accidentally stumbled upon <www.dorway.com> and was horrified. My local supermarket only stocked fruit yogurt with aspartame and I had been using it regularly. I threw out what I had in my fridge and my symptoms were gone in ONE DAY! I have told oodles of people about aspartame and they have stopped using it and their health has dramatically improved. Considering the illnesses it causes this is the single worst evil the American government has unleashed on your country. I have yet to try to find out why Health Canada approved it. But do take the dangers of diet drinks, sugarless gum and all that VERY seriously!
