Dangers of Aspartame

I think this false. People had mental inpediments way before the discovery of fire, farless for artificial sugars. It is my belief that this is one of those "Y2K" type rumors to make people frightened. Secondly where is the statistics? Where is the evidence? Without those pieces of information, it is arguable. Thirdly, I wish people would put a stop to some scientific research. It's only making people paranoid about themselves. "Symptoms include heart palpitations, insomnia, nausea, migraines, breathing trouble, vertigo, memory loss, depression, muscle spasms, and vision problems among others." WHAT? Now EVERYONE is going to be watching what they consume since those are common in human behaviour. These are going to be over exaggerated and get people paranoid. I'm done! -DVS Jay- The upkeeping of the human race. "We will live"

Hi, "DVD Jay." Actually, there is significant scientific evidence regarding not only aspartame, but many artificial sugars. For those who really want the truth, click > Aspartame: What You Don't Know Can Hurt You

If there are so many side effects. Why does Yoplait use it in their nonfat yogurt?

Hi, Kae. A careful review of the history of food products created in the west over the last hundred of so years clearly shows that health and safety is not the highest value--the most important criterion--in creating these foods. Instead of being a diet food, you may want to search the web for the weight gain effects of aspartame. You'll find the dangers and health risks are becoming clear according to the facts.

Is there any replacement for Canderel? If yes please inform me?

Hi Marium, Stevia, Xylitol, Yacon, and Agave are all used to replace Aspartame.

I am writing this from the view point of a person who had a high consumption of both diet coke and Canderel, an average of four to six cans a day and using Canderel in tea about two large jars a week. I have a very sweet tooth. I have recently lost the vision in my eye with damage to the retina. The cause was unknown. I then started to lose my short term memory and became unable to drive any distance without stopping. I tell you, I am very fit and surf daily and there was no real cause for these problems. Having read an article on aspartame poisoning, I decided to stop all artificial sweeteners and, wow what a transformation. The memory loss has gone, the overpowering feeling of tiredness, which I can only liken to being given Temazepam has gone. I feel like a new person. What I would like to say is when I accidentally bought a Rosbinson drink which contained aspartame. I began within 12 hours to suffer the same symptoms and to those who might think this was in my mind, I didn't know it contained the aspartame until we checked the products in the cupboard. I would like to find alternatives to drinks as all lemonades I have looked at have aspartame in them. So, ignore at your peril.
