The photo above look's more like someone who has used crack more then someone who has used aspartame for 2 your's don't you think?????

Muddy, I'm pretty sure Superman was making a joke.

This is a good blog, Anna. Thanks for sharing the info!

Ya, big pharmacueticals, aint they great.

(I blame aspartame on EVERYTHING)

Aspartame is like everything else - must be used in MODERATION. Consuming too much sugar or fat can cause serious health problems also (cancer, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, heart attack, death, etc.). My mother, a lovely lady, drank diet sodas in moderation for years with no problems. She died of old age at 89. I also have drank diet sodas (w/aspartame), and currently drink diet green tee with aspartame (once a day) with no problems. I think this is just a scam by fatties who are jealous of those who keep their weight in line by using diet foods. I have an overweight member of my family and her overweight friend who have been carping at me about aspartame. Enough already!!!

I think some of these prescription drugs people are taking are much more dangerous than aspartame!

There are naturally many "companies" out there that stand to benefit from Aspartame consumption and would like to put our minds at ease about it's consumption, however...

The multi-billion dollar aspartame industry would like you believe that "aspartame kills" is an "urban legend" and that you'd have to drink 100 cans of diet soda a day to be harmed by aspartame. This is just simply not true. Their main claim is that the 3 components of aspartame are found in many natural foods and are therefore safe. This is kind of like saying carbon monoxide is safe because all it contains is carbon & oxygen, the same components of carbon dioxide. Methanol (wood alcohol), which makes up 10% of aspartame and is highly toxic (adult minimum lethal dose is 2 teaspoons), is also found in some fruits & vegetables like tomatoes. However, methanol is never found in natural foods without ethanol & pectin, its "antidotes" if you will (detailed facts below). Ethanol & pectin prevent methanol from being metabolized into formaldehyde (embalming fluid) & formic acid (same chemical as fire ant venom), both deadly toxins. An ethanol drip is even the standard emergency room treatment for methanol poisoning. Aspartame contains no ethanol or pectin, therefore the methanol is converted to formaldehyde and formic acid. Phenylalanine and aspartic acid, the other 2 components of aspartame, are amino acids found in natural foods but always as part of long chains of many different amino acids to form complex protein mo

That is true about the 40's and younger people's diets. Many have said to me "I don't know how to eat right". This is pathetic. I was taught this in school (eat 7 different colors of food a day which should include food from the major food groups), and also my mother served this type of food to our family. I still eat that way today. I rarely eat processed food. I have lots of fresh fruits and venetables, lean meat, low fat dairy, and rice or pasta for carbos. I also take nutritional supplements. It makes a huge difference in your health and your ability to fight off toxins and germs. Bad diet (especially lack of B vitamins) could be responsible for much of the mental problems we see in our society today. You have a choice - spend money on good food or the doctor.
