I had always practiced a healthy lifestyle so when Aspartame came out I wouldn’t have anything to do with it. Then due to a health problem I suddenly gained quite a bit of weight. I went to a Dr. who put me on a diet that includes several sugar-free foods & drinks. Reluctantly but to help lose the weight I consumed them. 2 weeks later I was overcome by dizziness, and felt like my head and ears were going to explode, it was debilitating. I went to vertigo specialist at a top medical facility and they couldn’t find any explanation for my vertigo. I was placed on many medications with no relief.
My mother found on the net that Aspartame caused vertigo. I stopped using it right then and within a few days the dizziness stopped but will come back with a vengeance if I even accidentally get a stick of gum with Aspartame, I get so dizzy it is like I am drunk.
I feel my equilibrium is permanently damaged because of it. Before I could watch TV and enjoy a movie. Now, I can’t because the movements make me motion sick. My whole family has had reactions to this poison Aspartame. My Father loses his memory, my sister gets hives on her tongue, my aunt went deaf until she stopped drinking Diet Coke, and my mother has memory loss & hives from it. I tell everyone that it is a toxin and to please not drink it, but sadly most don’t listen.
