This is not very scientific but I wanted to write to you about my mom’s experience with Aspartame. She takes medication to control her sugar and never is able to get it under control. She also drank lots of diet soda and ate things with NutraSweet, Jell-O, pudding, cookies, etc. The doctor told her to give it up and start taking shots. She decided to find a new doctor. About this same time (Last April, I think) I got your articles via e-mail after reading about you and immediately called my mom.
My dad answered and I told him about it. From that moment on no diet soda etc. And immediately her sugar count began going down and came under control. About 2 months ago she drank Crystal Light for 3 days. Because she had it around for my nephew and she thought what the heck. Well her sugar went sky high, so she stopped. Two weeks ago she had 3 diet root beers in one evening. The next morning, it was sky high again. I think she is now convinced. I wish we could convince my sister to stop (weight problem) and not allow my 3 year old nephew to drink it. But she said she is cutting down. I did share the recent article with her about it affecting conception, as she is trying to get pregnant again. At least she didn’t drink it while pregnant. Thanks for all your information and I hope this helps prove even more what you say. My boyfriend is a pilot and he has quit drinking any diet soda. He never ate foods with it, and he is sharing that info with other pilots. Keep up the good work and have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a Blessed Holiday Season. I hope my story makes sense. I am not a great writer.
