I discovered I was poisoning myself with Aspartame (Diet Coke) in 1997. At the time I had to be helped to the dinner table, and helped to stand up also. I was misdiagnosed as having Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, and Depression. My bones quit burning and hurting after the third day of being Aspartame-free. Within a month, I felt like my life was given back to me. The Irritable Bowel Syndrome was also gone.
Please be warned that Wrigley Chewing Gums ALL have Aspartame in them, whether they are diet or not. I contacted the company and asked them why, and they said they could get away with it because they also add sugar to their products along with the Aspartame. All Wrigleys regular products, including Juicy Fruit have Aspartame in them. As do most all chewing gums including Dentyne. Check the label, it is listed. jetti@earthlink.net
