About a month ago my mother sent me an email warning about the dangers of Aspartame. I believed it to be a usual internet hoax and called my mother to discuss it. After we talked for a while, she asked me what I had to lose by giving up products with Aspartame for a while. I did it thinking I would prove that it was a hoax. Then I started researching it on the internet and was overwhelmed by all the sites extolling the poisonous nature of Aspartame. I have given up the product.
I am no longer tired, I no longer get headaches or chest pains and I have stopped snacking constantly. My fiancé has also noted that I am less irritable. This is a truly harmful product and it is frightening that it is so widespread. We, as Americans, need to exercise our right to free speech and work to get this product banned.
