Aspartame: The Hidden Killer

(contd.)

Page 3 of 3 | «Prev123 Next

I never thought or made the connection, until recently, that her cancer could have been linked to her year after year usage of sugar-free products. The more I thought about it, the more it made sense to me. I even read through the ninety-two symptom list for Aspartame poisoning and these are the symptoms I remember my mother having: abdominal pain, diarrhea, memory loss, fatigue (lethargy), blood pressure changes, and a hard time controlling her blood sugar and losing weight.

I have no distinctive proof, but still I can't help but to wonder if my mother's rare cancer was caused by Aspartame. She consumed sugar-free products like candy, Jell-O, pudding, diet soda, Equal and instant breakfast drinks. These are only the few things I can remember. After years of consuming these laced-with-poison products, there is no doubt in my mind that Aspartame played a large factor in my mother's death.

My mother is not the only victim of this hidden killer. There is at least one other person I know of who has died from cancer brought on by Aspartame. My dad's friend lost a son to testicular cancer. His son was only thirty-seven. It was confirmed that his death was caused by Aspartame poisoning.

One last account I found was rather interesting. My uncle's brother-in-law used to work at the Nestle Chocolate factory in Fulton, NY and they used Aspartame in the cocoa. He worked with Aspartame with his bare hands. This went on for years, no one there knowing how deadly Aspartame could be. My uncle's brother-in-law was left with the aftermath. His hands at times would be calloused over and he could peel the calluses off. Then there would be times when he would wash his hands and the cracks in his hands would open up.

The factory has since been closed, however, I can't imagine the destruction Aspartame must be doing to the insides of those who haven't been warned about the sweetener. With all the horror Aspartame can produce, it amazes me that it is not off the market yet. I strive for the day when this finally happens and the people of the world realize that sugar is not such a bad sweetener after all.

For others out there who are suffering with the effects of Aspartame either personally or with a friend or loved one, I sympathize. Just know that you are not alone and remember you are not helpless. You have the power to change things for the better.

Just remember to carefully check the labels of all sugar-free products for Aspartame. Not all sugar-free products contain this potent artificial sweetener, so whenever you go to the grocery store be sure to take extra time and read the nutrition labels and ingredients list on the side of any sugar-free food.

Thanks for sharing this. My heart poured out for you when I read this. But by writing this article, maybe some good will come, of all the pain you and your family have experienced. It's certainly given me some things to think about. I'd no idea of the terrible problems associated with Aspartame. I've cut down on sugar-free products in the last few years, but after learning what you've been through, I'm going cold turkey for good. Thanks again.

Hey Girl. This was a great article. I knew your mom died of ovarian cancer, but Wow to find out that she didn't have ovaries and that this poision has this deadly effect. Something needs to be done, there are so many people you usa sugar free or have no choice to use sugar free, And now they might have to fight for their life, because people thought this would be good to use in foods. People just don't think anymore when it comes to making products that people eat or drink, They have made it unsafe, like children are unsafe from kidnappers. I miss you girl. This was a very good article. Keep up the good work.

Just discovered that the new Doublemint gum has aspertane and I know I am allergic to it. I wonder how long they have been putting aspertane in their formula. I break out in a rash around the trunk of my body and my legs and ankles. Once drank sugar free pop trying to lose weight and had a severe case if hives and took almost a month to get it out of my system after stopping the sugar free pop. Have been chewing doublemint gum for a long time and now wonder if aspertane has been in their formula all along. Wrote to Wrigley and they said they was sorry for my experience. Maybe you could give me answer.
