Aspartame Is Dangerous For Everyone - commonly causes adverse effects

Aspartame Is Dangerous For Everyone (it affects everyone who uses it a long time)
-----------------------------------

"I know that the average consumer has a devil-may-care something-is-gonna-kill-me attitude... but they don't realize that before THIS stuff kills they are going to
have a miserable declining existence with LOTS of pain and other problems (not to mention cancer, tumors, and maybe even alzheimers,MS or similar things) before death solves the problem." - An Aspartame Victim

Long-Term Damage
----------------
It appears to cause slow, silent damage in those unfortunate enough to not have immediate reactions and a reason to avoid it. It may take
one year, five years, 10 years, or 40 years, but it seems to cause some reversible and some irreversible changes in health over long-term use.

(this was known before it was approved; it was approved by FDA in spite of warnings due to Special Interest (very important person on Board) and political contributions)

there are a lot of medical studies and clinical experience showing the above

1. I avoid aspartame

tumors

[unschooler]

2. I personally have frightening physical symptoms every time I use

aspartame. I no longer touch the stuff, not does anyone else in my family.

3. I can personally vouch for this.

I used the shit for 20 years (originally started using Equal because my stepmonster told me it was safer than saccharine).

I now have MS. Judge for yourself. For myself, I COMPLETELY think it's at least partly responsible for this.

4. It gives me headaches.

6. You know what gives me headaches?

Pseudowissenschaften! Very few people know about it, but almost everyone consumes it. Some of the other symptoms include dulled mental acuity, increased emotional malleability and credophilia. Believe me, it's absolutely pernicious stuff and right wing corpracrats spew out tons of it daily. There must be some in the air because I have a real nasty headache coming on.

5. My friend the doctor says fat is less dangerous than aspartame.

It has always made me very sick, so I avoid it like the plague.

I understand sucralose is problematic, too, but of the two, I'll opt for it.

7. My philosophy...If a pregnant woman is advised to stay away from something

then you know it's gotta be bad. I never touched it and never will.
