I drank Diet Mountain Dew daily for 15 years. For the past 3 years, I began experiencing CHRONIC FATIGUE, horrible joint pains, migraines, and memory loss with lack of concentration. I am a nurse and I found myself having difficulty at work caring for my patients due to these symptoms. I have since stopped drinking soda with Aspartame and within just a week, I have experienced a TREMENDOUS improvement in my health. I just hope I didn’t wait too long. I still have health problems due to the consumption of large amounts of aspartame on a daily basis. I am just hoping that soon I will have my complete health back. Aspartame almost ruined my life. I now feel so much healthier and plan to never consume this poison again. Our government and FDA are slowly killing us, all in the name of money. It’s sad. We should be able to depend on them for our safety, after all that’s what they are supposed to do…look out for us. It’s time to be our own advocate because obviously the FDA are failing in doing so. chenoaspirit@yahoo.com
