How About A Diet Soda??

Here are some scary facts about aspartame, also known as Nutrasweet, which is found in all the diet drinks. The truth about aspartame is scary. As a country full of fads that are geared toward losing weight or staying thin, we tend to look past any possible long-term side effects of life style and go for any quick fix or some way to cheat nature.

· When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86° F, the wood alcohol in Aspartame converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. The methanol toxicity mimics multiple sclerosis; thus people were being diagnosed with having multiple sclerosis in error.

· In the case of systemic Lupus, we are finding it has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially in Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. Also, with methanol toxicity, the victims usually drank three to four 12-ounce cans per day.

· In cases of Systemic Lupus, which is triggered by Aspartame, the victim usually does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. The victim usually continues its use, aggravating the lupus to such a degree, that sometimes it becomes life threatening. When the patients got off of the Aspartame, the symptoms for most usually decreased.

· Common symptoms that accompany Aspartame users; fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitis (ringing in the ears), joint pain, depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss. Is “Just one Calorie!” worth it?

· DO YOU WANT FORMALDEHYDE IN YOUR SYSTEM? Aspartame converts to Formaldehyde in the retina of the eye, and in many cases causing impaired vision. Formaldehyde is grouped in the same class of drugs as cyanide and arsenic. Deadly poisons.

· IT IS NOT A DIET PRODUCT. Aspartame makes you crave carbohydrates, and will in turn increase the fat in the body. In one case, a doctor took Aspartame products from the patients’ diet and they subsequently lost an average of 19 pounds.

Please take this information very seriously. Understand that many products on the market may not be healthy for us. Aspartame is not a substance that should be poisoning our bodies.
