If you do some searching on NutraSweet you will find many articles detailing the side effects of Aspartame including increased risk of brain tumors, and numerous other health problems resulting from methanol and formaldehyde released during digestion of NutraSweet or Aspartame.
Last year, I developed Bell’s palsy (I did recover) and then I got Shingles. Both of these have to do with nerves and run along the path of nerves. You only get shingles when extremely run down such as the elderly or cancer patients. I was 36 years old. This scared the s?&* out of me.
I started doing some research and discovered all the “BAD” things NutraSweet can do. It can mimic MS which both Bells and shingles are symptoms of. I did have an MRI which ruled MS out. I stopped it cold turkey.
I was drinking gallons of diet iced tea a week. Enough, never again! I also felt like a cloud had been lifted off of my brain within a few days of stopping it.
