ASPARTAME - THE SILENT KILLER
For those who take
Ricola & Fisherman , please note that they both contain Aspartame - the silent killer.

FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO EAT FISHERMAN SWEETS BE CAREFUL: Sugar free products contain ASPARTAME .. So don't consume Sugar free product esp. 'fisherman sweets'
ASPARTAME - THE SILENT KILLER (by Ron Harder)
To those who prefer to consume artificial flavouring:
There is an epidemic across North America today of
Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus. Most people do not understand why this epidemic is happening, and they do not know why these diseases are so rampant. I would like to share with you the main reason we are having this very serious problem. Many people today use artificial sweeteners in their tea or coffee.
They do this because the ads they see on TV tell them that sugar is bad for their health. This is absolutely true. Sugar is toxic to us , but what most people use as a replacement for sugar is much more deadly. I am talking about ASPARTAME. It is the cause of the epidemic that was mentioned above. ASPARTAME is an extremely toxic chemical that is produced by a chemical company called
Monsanto.
ASPARTAME is being marketed around the world as a sugar substitute and is found in all diet soft drinks, such as
Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi. It is also found in artificial sweeteners such as NutraSweet, Equal, and Spoonful; and it is used in many other products as a sugar replacement
.
ASPARTAME is marketed as a diet product, but it is not a diet product at all. In fact, it will cause you to GAIN weight because it makes you crave carbohydrates. Causing you to gain weight is only a very small part of what ASPARTAME does. It is a toxic chemical that changes the brain's chemistry It can and does cause severe seizures.
This chemical changes the dopamine level in the brain, and it is particularly deadly for anyone suffering from Parkinson's disease.
ASPARTAME is extremely poisonous, and here is why one of the toxic ingredients of it is wood alcohol. When the temperature of
ASPARTAME exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in it is converted to Formaldehyde, and then to formic acid, which in turn causes folic acidosis.
FORMALDEHYDE is grouped in the same class of poisons as Cyanide and Arsenic which are very deadly toxins. The only difference is, Formaldehyde kills quietly, and it takes a little longer. And, in the process of killing people, it causes all kinds of neurological problems. There are 92 documented symptoms of Aspartame Poisoning leading to coma and death.
The majority of these symptoms are neurological, because the ASPARTAME attacks and destroys the nervous system. One of these symptoms is Lupus
, which has become almost as rampant as Multiple Sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers.
And here's something from WebMD
April 4, 2006 (Washington) -- Diet soda lovers may be able to sip a little easier, thanks to a new study that shows that the artificial sweetener aspartame does not raise the risk of cancer.
Last year, an Italian study of rats linked low doses of aspartame -- the sweetener in NutraSweet, Equal, and thousands of consumer products -- to leukemia and lymphoma.
But the new study -- conducted in people, not rats -- found no such link. Nor did the popular sugar substitute raise the risk of brain cancer, says researcher Unhee Lim, PhD, of the National Cancer Institute.
The findings were presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research here.
No Link to Cancer
Lim and colleagues studied 473,984 men and women, aged 50 to 71, participating in the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study.
In 1995 and 1996, participants were asked how much they drank of three popular diet beverages -- soda, fruit drinks, and iced tea. They were also asked if they added aspartame to their coffee and tea.
From their answers, the researchers calculated how much aspartame they consumed on a daily basis.
During the next five years, 1,972 of them developed lymphoma or leukemia, and 364 developed brain tumors.
When the researchers looked at people who consumed an average of at least 400 milligrams of aspartame a day -- about the amount found in two cans of soda -- there was no link between aspartame consumption and any of these cancers.
Findings Somewhat Reassuring
Michael Jacobson, head of the consumer watchdog group Center for Science in the Public Interest, says the findings are somewhat reassuring.
Jacobson, who had pushed for a government review of aspartame's safety after the rat study was published, says, "The new study is in humans and goes a long way toward alleviating many concerns."
That said, the study design was subject to so-called recall bias, as participants were asked to remember what they drank and how much they drank, he says.
"If their recollections weren't accurate, it compromises the findings," Jacobson tells WebMD.
Lim acknowledges the point. She says that is one reason why she is not ready to make any public health recommendations about aspartame consumption at this time.
"This is a first step," she tells WebMD. "We need to verify the findings and also study possible links between the sweetener and other cancers as well."
My question is...Is this really true? Aspartame really is as poisonous as Arsenic? And still the market still contains sweets with aspartame in it?
