Great Website! People need to be made aware of the dangers of Aspartame.
I am 25 years old and reside in England. I used to drink bottles and bottles of Aspartame sweetened cool drink, eat Aspartame sweetened yoghurt etc. Ha, ha, I thought I was helping myself lose weight.
The worse of my problems was symptoms of diabetes. I was certain that I had diabetes and had myself tested.
According to my first test results I was diabetic; then I learned about the dangers of Aspartame, cut it out of my diet and everything returned to normal.
The symptoms I had were:
* Excessive depression
* Extreme hunger (resulting in a 12 kilogram weight gain)
* Symptoms of diabetes (drastic drop in blood sugar levels making me shaky until I eat something sweet)
* Extreme, unexplained, tiredness (I used to get up at 6 am, I worked part time until 13h00, then came home, had lunch and go to sleep until 17h00, had dinner and went to bed around 20h00, many times even earlier)
* Uncontrolled urethra infections
* Drastic drop in body temperature, making me shake with shivers in the afternoons even though the heating in the house was running.
At 24 I thought that my life was basically over, because I had no normal life anymore. Until I learned about Aspartame. Now that I have cut it out of my diet all these symptoms have disappeared. I am living a normal life now, keeping up with a full time job and other activities. I am not controlled by hunger anymore, have lost all the weight I gained and I don’t feel depressed anymore. No more shakes and shivers! What a difference it made!
