I have had a brief, but distinct experience with NutraSweet that I would like to share. You may include it in reports to appropriate agencies.
Two summers ago I experimented with drinking one or two diet Seven-Up sodas perhaps three to four days a week. I don’t believe I ever drank more than six to eight sodas a week. Normally I don’t have anything “artificial” in my diet, but I wanted something sweet tasting and didn’t want the sugar intake. Within a month I began to notice increasingly numbness and tingling in my hands. This concerned me because I work with my hands a lot. I wondered what I had done to cause this. The only difference I could think of was the Aspartame intake, so I stopped all intake of it. Within another month the symptoms had vanished completely!
I am grateful to have noticed this sooner rather than later and to have been able to stop these problems before they got more serious.
