I wanted to write to let you know that I have now been completely off of Aspartame for one month and I can feel the results!
First, for two years I have had fibromyalgia-like symptoms. I hurt all over. Shoulders, legs, back, neck ankles, all were painful most of the time. I had chronic insomnia and could hardly sleep at night. My vision was getting worse all of the time. In the single month that I eliminated Aspartame, I feel 100% better. I don’t hurt. The carpal tunnel in my wrist and shoulder has finally subsided. My memory seems to be improving. I have more energy and I don’t get as hungry.
I found that I was drinking 3-4 Diet Cokes every day. Fortunately, I did not use Equal in my tea or coffee. I use either sugar or sweet n low. I don’t know much about saccharin testing but I cannot believe that it is as bad as Aspartame. I am going to get some stevia and try that.
I have made copies of some of the articles and sent them to a number of people who have also “sworn off” of Aspartame.
Obviously the FDA does not care one bit about product safety. If a company is as big as Monsanto, they can market any kind of poison they please without a whimper from the FDA. And, it appears that Congress is powerless to stop them. Or, that Congress is too busy with their “in-fighting” to do anything for the people who voted them into office.
