Hello, as one of the new members Betty is referring to, I thought I would introduce myself. I’m Jennifer. I began suffering from dizzy spells in elementary school. Doctors did test after test to no avail.
At 12, I began to suffer from crippling migraines as well. I totally cut Aspartame out of my diet at 16. You should understand that prior to this, the only Aspartame I had may have been a piece of sugar free candy or gum. I had only consumed one diet beverage outside of possibly a sip of someone else’s. I bring this up to point out that a toxicity level for is ridiculous. Any level is too much. I am 26 now.
I still suffer from migraines, but the frequency and intensity has decreased dramatically. I haven’t had a bad one in more than a month.
At sixteen, I got them at least once a week and they were bad enough that I would black out. I’ve been trying to convince everyone I care about for years that the stuff is dangerous. There are campaigns everywhere telling us how horrible tobacco is and yet it looks like some kind of vitamin supplement when compared with Aspartame. More people need to know.
