Sweet Poison by Rhonda Gessner
Side effect of aspartame in humans by Cili Health Chatter
Causes MS, brain tumors, seizure.

I had earlier made posts on this regarding HFCS, and artificial sweeteners. Dr. Mercola has been vocal against aspartame and other artificial sweeteners. I have been an avid drinker of 0 diet drinks, but after reading Mercola, I avoided the 0 drink because I may end being 0. I will have a student whose job is a manufacturing official of this softdrink company. I have believed that this emerging trend in healthy living is an ecosystem that old manufacturer must consider. It is a part of external environment that impacts their sales, and outcomes, and must not ignore this
The post mentions about a lady who was on verge of serious illness, and was sent an article by the author, Rhonda Gessner, about the serious side effect of aspartame. When she stopped drinking the softdrink, the diet soda, after only 32 hours, she stopped having the convulsion
The diet drinks have been linked to patients with lupus, or multiple sclerosis.
Sodium and aspartame makes you crave for more carbohydates (therefore are not diet products)
Aspartame is neurotoxic, and contains formaldehyde which are preservative of human flesh in embalming
Here is an excerpt of the article:
Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis,
especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. The victim usually
does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues
it’s use; irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a
life-threatening condition. We have seen patients with systemic lupus
become asymptotic, once taken off diet sodas.
In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, most of the
symptoms disappear. We’ve seen many cases where vision loss returned and
hearing loss improved markedly.
This also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia. During a
lecture, I said, ‘If you are using ASPARTAME (Nutra Sweet, Equal,
Spoonful, etc) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms,
shooting, pains, numbness in your legs,
Cramps,
Vertigo,
Dizziness,
Headaches,
Tinnitus,
Joint pain,
Unexplainable depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred
vision, or memory loss you probably have ASPARTAME poisoning!’ People
were jumping up during the lecture saying, ‘I have some of these
symptoms. Is it reversible?’
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
STOP drinking diet sodas and be alert for Aspartame on food labels! Many
products are fortified with it! This is a serious problem. Dr. Espart
(one of my speakers) remarked that so many people seem to be symptomatic
for MS and during his recent visit to a hospice; a nurse stated that
six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been
diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence!
Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is a chemically altered, multiple
SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containing product that actually makes you
crave carbohydrates.
It is far more likely to make you GAIN weight!
These products also contain formaldehyde, which stores in the fat
cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. Formaldehyde is an absolute
toxin and is used primarily to preserve ’tissue specimens.’
Many products we use every day contain this chemical but we SHOULD NOT store it IN our body!
Dr. H. J. Roberts stated in his lectures that once free of the ‘diet
products’ and with no significant increase in exercise; his patients
lost an average of 19 pounds over a trial period. Aspartame is
especially dangerous for diabetics. We found that some physicians, who
believed that they had a patient with retinopathy, in fact, had symptoms
caused by Aspartame. The Aspartame drives the blood sugar out of
control. Thus diabetics may suffer acute memory loss due to the fact
that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are NEUROTOXIC when taken without
the other amino acids necessary for a good balance.
Treating diabetes is all about BALANCE.. Especially with diabetics,
the Aspartame passes the blood/brain barrier and it then deteriorates
the neurons of the brain; causing various levels of brain damage,
Seizures, Depression, Manic depression, Panic attacks, Uncontrollable
anger and rage. Consumption of Aspartame causes these same symptoms in
non-diabetics as well. Documentation and observation also reveal that
thousands of children diagnosed with ADD and ADHD have had complete
turnarounds in their behavior when these chemicals have been removed
from their diet.
So called ‘behavior modification prescription drugs’ (Ritalin and
others) are no longer needed. Truth be told, they were never NEEDED in
the first place! Most of these children were being ‘poisoned’ on a
daily basis with the very foods that were ‘better for them than sugar.
‘It is also suspected that the Aspartame in thousands of pallets of diet
Coke and diet Pepsi consumed by men and women fighting in the Gulf War,
may be partially to blame for the well-known Gulf War Syndrome.
Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects, i.e. mental
retardation, if taken at the time of conception and during early
pregnancy. Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders
and should NEVER be given artificial sweeteners.
There are many different case histories to relate of children
suffering grand mal seizures and other neurological disturbances talking
about a plague of neurological diseases directly caused by the use of
this deadly poison.’
Herein lies the problem: There were Congressional Hearings when
Aspartame was included in 100 different products and strong objection
was made concerning its use. Since this initial hearing, there have been
two subsequent hearings, and still nothing has been done. The drug and
chemical lobbies have very deep pockets.
Deadly aspartame
Aspartame is a crystalline protein that is derived from two amino acids: phenylalanine and aspartic acid.
The FDA refers to aspartame as a food additive, never a drug. A drug on the label of a Diet-Coke might discourage the consumer.
Since aspartame is classified as a food additive, adverse reactions are not reported to the FDA (
Food and Drug Administration).
Characteristics
Aspartame is 200-300 times
sweeter than sugar. Just as sugar, it has its list of adverse reactions and side effects, which include:
- Anxiety
- ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder)
- Candida Albicans (yeast infections)
- Obesity
- Headaches
- Hyperactivity
- Tooth decay, and
- Diabetes
The list of adverse reactions and
side effects include, but is not limited to:
- Brain lesions
- Headaches
- Mood alterations
- Skin polyps
- Blindness
- Brain tumors
- Insomnia
- Depression
- Various cancers, and
- Short-term memory loss
Aspartame is economically cheaper and sweeter than sugar, which is very
appealing to soda beverage companies. It is also very appealing to
weight watchers who are seeking to
lose weight because of its low calories.
Aspartame Converts to Formaldehyde
What most diet soda beverage drinkers don't know, is that aspartame, once inside the human body, converts into formaldehyde!
Biological and medical knowledge lets us know that the natural human
body temperature is 98.6, which means that any time you consume a
substance made with aspartame, the aspartame in those substances is
going to convert into formaldehyde as a chemical by-product.
Aspartame is found in over 1,200 food products as a so-called food
additive, including diet soda beverages, chewing gum, non-dairy creamer,
and candy. It is most popularly referred to as Nutra-Sweet.
Alternatives
One
would be wise to get off of all synthetic sweeteners such as Splenda,
Equal, Nutra-Sweet, sucrose (white table sugar), and brown sugar.
Instead, there are many natural sweeteners that curb the craving without
the negative side effects, such as:
- Maple syrup (Grade B or C)
- Agave nectar
- Stevia (plant, should be green)
- Fruit
Though DHerbs does not recommend honey as a natural sweetener or for
food consumption purposes, however, honey is far better and safer
alternative than any man-made chemical sweeteners.
