Several years ago I was doing a Weight Watchers diet program. I developed terrible abdominal pains, as intense as labor. My doctor did all sorts of tests and found nothing except my wallet. He kept asking me what I was doing different and of course not realizing it was Aspartame I could think of nothing. Eventually I quit the diet, lost weight but was always bloated. I figured I was just getting old and losing my shape at 40 something. Out of the blue months later I figured out and I don’t know how–that it was the diet stuff.
A few years later my son went to the hospital with terrible abdominal pains and vomiting. About a year later he consumed 2 liters of pink diet grapefruit juice and had a migraine so bad he crawled to our family car. He was 16 at the time. They found nothing wrong with him.
Since then we realized since I had “allergy” to it, apparently he does also–some allergy–it is just plain poison. He has gotten into it several times at picnics with diet Jell-O stuff and Crystal lite. He gets migraines and his face and tongue go numb. He has to cook all his own food at college because his roommates will not quit using the garbage and he gets terribly ill.
When I started studying Aspartame more, I discovered that when I was using it I had developed large fibroid tumors resulting in a hysterectomy. I also had blurred vision, a feeling of spaciousness, leg twitching, headaches, lip twitching, and bloating. I never realized until later that all those things were most likely caused by “the poison” I was consuming.
This is a crime that the FDA does not take this hideous garbage off the market–the health of our American people would improve greatly just by not using Aspartame. Seizures and headaches alone would probably come down greatly.
