Aspartame Anti-Testimonials© #088 – Diarrhea, Swelling, Numbness, Ringing in Ears

I began drinking diet drinks when I was about 15 years old. At the age of 30, I was put on insulin for diabetes. When I was 43, I began to have bouts with unexplained diarrhea. By eliminating things from my diet, I eventually discovered that the diarrhea was caused by my consumption of diet soft drinks, so I limited my consumption of this to one glass per day. Then about 10 days ago, my sister sent me a pamphlet on the side effects of aspartame. Since then I have totally eliminated aspartame consumption and have not had any more diarrhea. Other symptoms of aspartame poisoning that I had was an unbearable ringing in my ears, swelling of my feet, legs, and ankles, numbness in my feet, and shooting pains in my legs. Since I quit using aspartame: the ringing in my ears has decreased, the swelling in my feet and legs are somewhat better, as is the numbness in my feet, ankles, and legs. I haven’t had any more shooting pains in my legs and I haven’t had diarrhea since I totally stopped my aspartame consumption. According to the pamphlet that I was sent, aspartame is slowly embalming you while you are still living. I have started drinking water with lemon juice in it and I use Stevia in my coffee and tea. The Stevia seems to lower my blood sugar levels and it is a natural product. Thank you for informing the unsuspecting public, the FDA certainly didn’t try to protect us. marthamc@cox.net
