I have four children. I drank Diet Coke mildly during the first pregnancy, very heavily during the second pregnancy–no consumption of Aspartame during the last two pregnancies. I read the warning on the side of the cans and asked my ob/gyn if Aspartame was safe to consume during pregnancy. He said yes.
My oldest has a heart condition (MVP) as well as asthma. My second daughter has epilepsy.
I stopped using Aspartame when I read a report about seizures in lab monkeys when given Aspartame.
Since I stopped using Aspartame, my hair stopped falling out and I feel better than I have for years. My older sister also stopped drinking diet drinks. Her hair stopped falling out and she says she also feels better health wise.
I have contacted you in the past (some years ago) but I was just learning about the danger of Aspartame. It makes me angry to finally realize that my family has been poisoned with the approval of the FDA. I hope Aspartame is taken off the market but when money talks, a lot of time integrity is pushed aside.
