Aspartame - A Poisonous Sweetener

Here is the other article about Aspartame and artificial sweeteners. It explains how the spike in Aspartame consumption parallels the spike in brain cancer! SCARY! I have always been a gum chewer. I went from sugar to aspartame. Yikes! I am now chewing gum with Xylitol. That is my next post!

A Poisonous Sweetener | Healthy and Green Living
According to a UK documentary, “Sweet Misery,” the National Cancer Institute identified a significant and impressive increase in brain cancer starting in about 1984. Why did brain cancer shoot up? Evidence suggests that it is because of artificial sweeteners such as those found in diet drinks and food.

  1. Thank you. Yeah, aspartame is bad stuff, and I wish more people would believe that...not for my benefit, but for theirs. I have always stayed away from from it because I have Phenylketonuria (you might have noticed the warning for phenylketonurics on the labels).

    As for me, I like stevia!
