I want to share a personal experience concerning Aspartame. A couple of weeks ago I bought this raspberry juice concentrate. A week later I started to feel weird. I was tired out of my mind. I had problems with my long vision (it took time to focus my eyes on the object that I was looking at). I thought I was getting something. Then when I reread the label of the concentrate to my astonishment I noticed that it had sugar but it also had Aspartame.
I poured it down the sink and in a few days’ time the symptoms disappeared. I failed three of my exams because of this. I was sitting in the exam room looking at my exam papers. I knew I could do them but somehow I couldn’t get my thoughts organized. I think this was due to Aspartame I was prepared for the exams so it wasn’t because I hadn’t read enough. I’ve known the negative effect of Aspartame for a long time but this kind of personal experience is frightening.
