Lastly, about NutraSweet. I have been drinking several cans of diet drinks a day for the last six months. The first thing that was noticed was the drop in visual acuity from 20/20 to 20/25. Since there was no history of any eye problems from heredity, I was perplexed why the change had taken place. My eyes were checked again after four weeks and still the change was there.
I accidentally saw a NutraSweet warning on usenet. I immediately stopped all sugar substitutes including drinking diet drinks which all contain NutraSweet. When talking to a friend of mine, I was told bilberry is very good for diabetics with vision problems.
Bilberry tablets and capsules are available in most health food and vitamin stores. Lo and behold. My vision has improved. The slight haze or blurriness is gone. The colors are more vibrant. In the past my eyes could not tolerate the glare in bright sunlight. I notice that it is also gone.
I am *fully* convinced that NutraSweet in the diet drinks was the cause of all my eye troubles. Bless xxxxxx for bringing NutraSweet Danger to every ones attention. But for her message, I would still be consuming NutraSweet and be losing my vision irreversibly.
Moral of the story is very simple: DIABETICS SHOULD KEEP OFF NUTRASWEET COMPLETELY.
