Thanks for all the info, that will keep me busy reading for a while.
Here’s my story
I quit using Aspartame & all other fake sweeteners in ’97 when I learned from a wise lady at a health food store how horrible it is. Sometimes I get lazy about reading labels and accidently ingest some and immediately get reactions. Extremely blurred & squiggly vision. Headaches that lasts 2-3 days, irritability.
I went to the dentist last week and got the Aspartame headache, blurry vision, etc. I asked to read the label on the flavored topical they use for pre-numbing before they inject Novocain, and SURE ENOUGH it had Aspartame in it. They only put a tiny bit in my mouth, but it caused this reaction. Now I am wondering if the sweeteners they use in toothpaste, even though it isn’t ingested, could cause an effect from being absorbed through the tissues. The tiniest bit seems to affect me.
I don’t use mouthwash, but it is in that too, which again could be absorbed through the tissues. I wonder what else it is in that I don’t know about.
I keep trying to tell my friends and family not to use these chemicals. Now I have an arsenal of material to show them. Thank you.
