Probably everyone has heard at 1 time or another in the last decade or so about aspartame and its dangers. I've looked at hundreds if not thousands of pages and writings on-line, talked to several herbalists, MD.'s & believe it or not even pharmacists say "NO!" to this stuff! Everyone (literally that is) I've talked to about this stuff says not to use it. It's a neurotoxin that upsets our nervous system that can greatly affect brain operation. I've read in many of these pages and have heard at least 1 other person say to me that this stuff was originally used as an ANT POISON! So, curious, I took a couple pink packets with me after eating out 1 day, and tried an experiment.....I put a bit of sugar on the table and a bit of that fake sugar next to it. Soon a fly came, sat down & started enjoying the sugar. After, he went over by the other stuff and in less than a second took off like heck!
Later I tested the ant poison thing I heard. I poured a packet on & around a couple little ant hills on my sidewalk. THE VERY NEXT DAY there were absolutely NO ants to be found and the sand mound that I had brushed away had not been rebuilt! (They're STILL not there) Gee, go figure.....!
I've also in the same articles read that because of its toxicity to nerves properties that the military once thought of it as a biological warfare additive (which a few others I talked to had said they heard too).
There was 1 time I bought some yogurt without reading the label, got home & noticed it was low fat. Right away I'm like; "Oh shhhhhugar! Don't tell me....!" Bingo! There it was, aspartame as a sweetener! Not wanting to throw it out and against my better judgment I figured I'd try to use it. Well, I had a HALF CUP of it. About 15 mins. later I had a seizure! (This similar thing has happened several times before I learned to read EVERY label before buying anything.)
Anywho, my question is....how can something that's been proven in many ways to be so harmful be legal??? Apparently the FDA doesn't give a darn about our health as much as our government wants us to think. (Same as with GMO's & several other things which is another story). How can these people get away with this kind of stuff in a Country like ours??
