I just wanted to say thanks for the information that you made available on the web about Aspartame. I am a 27 year old male. For the past 10 or 11 years I have consumed large quantities of diet sodas. All of which contained Aspartame. I would drink soda all day long. When I wasn’t drinking diet soda, I was drinking coffee or ice tea sweetened with sweet & low or equal. All this time I was figuring I was doing my body good by not consuming all that sugar. That was until I heard about Aspartame.
On December 31 my mother and my wife told me about the 60 Minuets show on the aspartame. I like to check these things out for myself, so I spent hours today on the web reading about this stuff. Most of this information came from Dorway. I was sickened to read about my own governments sell out, not this type of thing surprises me.
I went down the list of reactions. At one time or another, all of us experience some of these things, but they can usually be explained. I am in good health. I am overweight, but I work out and do cardiovascular exercise a few days a week. I am often surprised at how fatigued I am. I have been getting headaches out of the blue for the past two years. I have experienced some hair loss from time to time. I lately have become dizzy a few times with no warning. My joints ache; at times I have memory loss.
I don’t drink very often, and I don’t use drugs. I try to eat right and take care of myself, and I generally stay well all the time except for these unexplained symptoms that I get from time to time. I don’t go to the doctor unless something is major is wrong, so I have never talked to anyone about these problems.
I was glad to hear about this from you. This might well be my problem. I have decided to try the 60 day test. I probably will never use the product again, but for the next 60 days I will not go near the stuff. I am also telling everyone I know about the Dorway website.
Update
It has been about 120 days since I kicked the habit. I thought maybe my letter was lost in cyberspace since I had not heard from you in so long. My headaches are gone. Surprisingly my dizzy spells are gone as well. That was what was worrying me. I was keeping a record of these spells, and the last one I that accrued in early Jan. They would come at any time even watching TV. They are gone. My joints no longer ache, memory is better and I feel great. I will say I do miss Diet Coke etc. I now drink a lot of water, mostly sparkling or seltzer with only lime or something. I want to thank you again for the info.
