I’m a 36 year old male that has been in very, very good health my entire life. About 2 years ago I started using Aspartame quite regularly, and ever increasing my usage of it; drinking upwards of 5+ cans of diet soda per day.
Last year, my health felt like it was going downhill in general. I had abdominal pains, acid reflux, and worse, my neck started making a “Grinding” sound when I turned it!!! Doctor after doctor examined me, did batteries of tests, and found nothing wrong. I had a CAT Scan of my abdominal region, and nothing was found. Blood work was all normal. I went to 3 different chiropractors about my neck for a period of time, and nothing helped!
Then my mom, convinced me to stop using Aspartame, that it might be causing my health issues, so I quit using it cold turkey about 2+ months ago, and I’m writing you today, to tell you that *ALL* of my chronic problems are gone. The neck grind is gone, acid reflux is gone, and I’ve not had the chronic abdominal pains for several weeks – that’s the first time I’ve not had the pain for more than a DAY.
I feel I was poisoned by it, and my body is finally recovered from it, at least symptom wise. I’m unsure of the long term effects this will have on my body, but it’s clear I was POISONED by it, and I’m *NOT* a happy camper right now. How would YOU feel if something that’s supposed to be safe, is poisoning your body? I feel as if someone tried to murder me; that’s how angry this makes me.
GET OFF ASPARTAME NOW if you have *ANY* health problems and use it. I’m convinced, it worked for me, now I’m mostly recovered I think, and let’s hope nothing long term comes of this.
PS: I ran across this website because I wanted to see if there was anyone else that found out they were being poisoned, and I’m shocked at the amount of people that are posting here!
