The approval of the artificial sweetener aspartame (E951) was the most contested in FDA history. The approval was not based on any scientific grounds but was granted due to political and financial pressure.

Aspartame was first ‘discovered’ in 1965 by Searle, a drug company based in Chicago. The FDA finally approved aspartame in 1981, even though scientific research had clearly shown that aspartame caused brain cancer in lab animals.

The tests that Searle used to determine the so-called safety of aspartame were severely flawed. Searle used unscientific lab practices, falsified data and withheld crucial information during the FDA approval process…

Because aspartame caused brain tumors in laboratory animals, it poses a real cancer risk to humans as well. Cancer is increasing in western countries and will soon be the leading cause of death.

Aspartame (E951) is now being used in over 6,000 products and millions of people worldwide use the sweetener on a daily basis. In addition to causing cancer, aspartame also causes many other serious health problems including obesity, diabetes, MS, epilepsy, brain disorders, migraines, ADHD, etc.

Aspartame is made from the feces(!) of genetically modified bacteria…

The US Department of Health has recorded 92(!) symptoms related to aspartame use. In fact, over 80% of all complaints filed with the FDA are aspartame related!

Aspartame breaks down into three toxic components:

1. Methanol.
This is the poisonous alcohol. In the body, methanol breaks down into formaldehyde, which is a poison.

2. Phenylalanine.
This decreases the amount serotonin in your brain, which leads to mood swings (depressions) and an increased appetite! That is why aspartame is one of the main causes for the current obesity epidemic.

3. Aspartic acid.
This is a neurological toxin comparable to MSG.

Aspartame and other toxic sweeteners are used thousands of ‘diet’ products such as sodas, table top sweeteners, fruit juices, canned fruit, juice syrup, lemonade, yoghurt, baked goods, candy, cereals, potato chips, children’s toothpaste and even in medicines and vitamins!

Think of Diet Coke, Coke Light, Coke, Fanta & Sprite Zero, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Next, Pepsi Max, Crystal Clear, Lipton Ice Tea Zero, Crystal Light, Smint, Stimorol Ice, Fusion, Freedent, Sportlife, Flintstones Children’s vitamines, AminoSweet, NutraSweet, Equal, Canderel, etc.

Contrary to what so-called ‘health experts’ claim, aspartame is NOT safe!

Avoid aspartame and see how your health will improve!

Caution! Aspartame is now being replaced in many products by sucralose (Splenda, E955) and/or Neotame (E961) and Advantame but these sweeteners are also highly toxic!
