You certainly have permission to use my “story”, although I don’t know how much of a story it really is. I stopped using NutraSweet and products containing Aspartame about 2 months ago. I have hypoglycemia and ADD and also have many food allergies: yeast, wheat, sugar, etc. Since I stopped using NutraSweet and drinking diet sodas (I used to use about 1 to 2 packets a day, and drink about 1 diet soda a day) I feel 100% better. My blood sugar level is now under control, and I no longer crave sugar or unhealthy foods. I no longer have that “dieter’s” mentality. I simply eat whole, natural foods when I’m hungry.
The reason that I say I do not have much of a story is that I am not sure whether to attribute this to getting off of Aspartame, or just adopting a more healthy diet overall and eating lots of Sunrider stuff. However, I have no doubt that getting off of the NutraSweet and diet soda helped. In addition, I used to suffer from short term memory loss and have other symptoms which I attributed to candida. After reading a lot of your testimonials, now I believe that it was probably because of the Aspartame in part, if not entirely.
