I wanted to warn my fellow diabetics about Aspartame (NutraSweet, equal, spoonful, etc.) I loved pop and I drank almost a 12 pack a day. I became so ill while drinking diet drinks, but I didn’t have any idea what was causing my problems. I could no longer walk very far. When I walked to my car in the drive way I would have to stop a rest 2 to 3 times to make it.
I had extreme fatigue, extreme memory loss (I would forget easy words for things like “shirt”), I would suddenly lose my balance and stagger for no reason, I had blinding migraine headaches, and worst of all I had finally developed horrible pain in my body even my face. It was like having your hand in a vise and someone just continued to clamp down tighter. I had reached the place where I just moaned in constant pain. I never dreamed I would ever have my normal life back again. A friend sent me an article about Aspartame and its toxic effects. I stopped all forms of diet pop, food, whatever. After a few weeks, I thought I was getting better, but I was afraid it was wishful thinking. Five months later, I was walking Wal-Mart’s shopping again; I remember most words now although sometimes I have to think a few minutes first. After years of constant headaches, I rarely ever have any these days. But, best of all, the pain is gone!! I am about 98%pain free. All I changed in the 5 months was I didn’t touch a drop of anything with Aspartame in it. It goes under a lot of different brand names. Also, Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is a neurotoxin that works just like Aspartame in destroying nerve endings. So read your ingredients carefully.
Aspartame can be listed as, “high fructose syrup” “certain numbers” “artificial flavoring” etc. Ever notice the number of electric carts that have popped up in stores for shoppers. Aspartame mimics MS, triggers diabetes, and so much more. There is nowhere near enough space here.
Your quality of life may depend on your knowledge about Aspartame.
