The dark lords of Mordor
have successfully been poisoning us with aspartame(nutrasweet, equal, spoonful, etc.) in softdrinks, candy and other sugarfree 'diet' foods. If only they would lable things truthfully... But how many of us would consume formaldehyde, formic acid and methanol? Only if we had a deathwish, which is what eating aspartame adds up to. There is an alarming increase in people being diagnosed with MS, and systemic lupus due to aspartame poisoning. It also causes a frightening list of other illnesses... Check out the 92 symptoms at dorway.com. We the public have now been poisoning ourselves for well over two decades. A long enough time to show the cumulative health deterioration that results from a steady diet of these 'diet' products. We have Reagan to thank, who fired the FDA commissioner who opposed the approval of aspartame(due to the seizures and tumors it causes in lab animals) and the new commissioner who approved it against the ruling of his own board of inquiry. Shortly thereafter, he left his position to work for GD Searle, the pharmaceutical company that developed the drug. So, the dark lords have beguiled us with pretty labels and false promises of weight loss whilst raking in millions of dollars and spreading their poison world wide. For the whole infuriating history go here. I wonder how it feels to be a rich old man, sitting on the fortune you made, knowing you directly, intentionally, caused thousands of people horrible suffering, blindness and death for your profit? I don't even want to imagine the karmic consequences of that.

I've been a diet Dew drinker for many years... not anymore. Weight gain and hair loss??? Hmmmm I'm thinking I have a scapegoat now...

About 10 years ago I decided to stop putting Sweet and Low into my coffee and use real sugar...I went into MAJOR withdrawl symptoms, which included ranting, an inability to sleep, uncontrolled hitting, and shortness of breath. It really scared the crap out of me, but I still know people who are still using that kind of stuff to stay thin...

holy shite, Lorrie!
That sounds frightful. Glad you're free of it now. It makes my blood boil thinking about the greedy bastards who sell this poison. How can they cause so much harm and not give a damn?
Bill, congrats on quitting! I read on one of the sites that the average weight loss for people who cut aspartame out of their diets was 19 lbs... P'raps there will be a slimmer you soon! Don't think anything makes the hair come back yo-maybe you can borrow some of Ds.

Haha actually the hair was hereditary, and the weight is a combo of a slow metabolism and me being a gluttonous sloth (working nights for 8 years hasn't helped much either)
