I have been reading your website and it is comforting to know I am only one of many, many people who “diagnosed” themselves with Aspartame sensitivity and was correct in this assumption! Many people really seem skeptical when I tell them about the negative effects Aspartame has had on my body and mental condition. I have suffered with almost daily low-grade headaches for years.
These headaches would at times become so excruciating I would vomit and be unable to function at all. I also had felt fatigued and at times I would have memory problems, mostly in trying to grasp a word I wanted to use. I decided to stop drinking or eating anything containing artificial sweeteners and any alcoholic beverages. I have not had one headache in the last three months except for the two times I ate ice cream containing an artificial sweetener. (That Phenylalanine stuff, something like that!) Both times I had low grade headaches the entire day following the ingesting of the ice cream.
I have witnessed a drastic improvement in how I feel, even my hair is not dry anymore which is really weird but I wanted to put that in because it was a very noticeable change as soon as I kicked my diet soda habit! I wish the general public could be more informed on the toxic effect of this stuff.
I really think we are damaging our children with these supposedly healthy sugar replacements, and are really being misled by the commercials, generally showing a thin woman enjoying herself as she eats a low calorie yogurt laced with toxic Aspartame! Then the announcer tells us she’s doing something to make herself healthier! It is such a scam. I only hope the media will someday start putting this info out there. We really know enough about which politicians smoked what illegal substance when they were in ninth grade! Let’s bombard the public with some useful facts for a change! This would hugely improve the condition of a vast number of people suffering from Aspartame related symptoms and misdiagnosis.
