Thanks for your note and all of the information – You will never understand just how grateful I am for the trouble you took on that one night to send that information. I suffered post-traumatic stress syndrome for two years after my daughter had her first fit and I am so convinced that we have the cause that I can now sleep at night. My eldest child has just had an EEG and guess what? It is showing irregularities – I feel so guilty because I used to drink this stuff when I was pregnant because I was always being nagged about my weight.
I refuse to buy anything with it in and I now write letters of complaint to all those manufacturers who insist on putting this rubbish into non low-cal products i.e. normal orange drinks etc. We only have mineral water and fruit juice in our house and I take every opportunity I can to recount our story to whoever will listen. As a result our local schools no longer give the children anything with Aspartame. So many people on this Island now are aware of the dangers of this substance.
I will keep fighting the good fight and will continue to do battle with our local hospital – can you believe it? THEY ACTUALLY GAVE ME A DIET SHEET FOR MY DAUGHTER WHICH STATED THAT I SHOULD GIVE HER LOW CAL PRJODUCTS!!
