But if you think that the sweet dust of artificial sweetener mixed into your food and drinks is safe and doesn’t carry any health risk, then you’re seriously mistaken.

Sold under the leading brands Equal and NutraSweet, aspartame is armed not just with its marketing charms, but also with the slick maneuverings of the multi-billion artificial sweetener industry and government agencies that often fail to walk their talk of consumer safety.

With hopes of striking a responsive chord, I’d like to tell you today: “Sweet” isn’t all there is to aspartame and these artificial sweeteners entering your body.

Aspartame Failed To Win FDA Favor For 20 years; What Finally Led To Its Approval?

Discovered by chemist James M. Schlatter in 1965 by pure accident, aspartame and its intrigue-laced approval tells many a tale about corporate America, the contingent blessings brought by the cyclamate and saccharin bans, and the arbiters of government power. This report will enable you to shun the myths on aspartame’s approval and to know the dirty political and regulatory tricks in the whole approval process.

For 20 years, the FDA gave aspartame products the thumbs down mainly for the following safety issues and reasons:

Flawed data

High cholesterol levels

Fluid loss in your body

But pharmaceutical giant G.D. Searle – the makers of the NutraSweet and Equal

brands – did not back down and knew that all it took was flexing political muscle. Read about how Donald Rumsfeld, the same powerful political figure in the Bush administration, proved instrumental in the FDA approval of aspartame in 1981 and the political appointments leading to it.

But more than these, the deceptive studies on aspartame safety are already a distressing truth in themselves.

Yes, there are alarming animal lab testing results (and lack of testimony for safe human use) that you are yet to know about aspartame...

Did you know that...? Aspartame Can Sabotage Your Weight Loss Efforts! If you’re trying to shed the extra pounds and you happen to make a trip to the supermarket, you might have to be more wary of picking out products marketed as “reduced calorie,” “sugar-free,” and “diet,” thus containing aspartame or other artificial sweeteners. Get this free report and know more about how aspartame and its components are possibly instructing your body to store fat and bringing down your serotonin levels, blocking the road to weight loss.

What They Fail – Or Downright Refuse – To Tell You About Aspartame

Artificial sweeteners have been hailed as the savior of diabetics and those with persistent weight-loss efforts. Part of the first generation of these is aspartame, which is 180 times sweeter than sugar.

As of 2008, more than 6,000 products, consumed by over 100 million worldwide, contain aspartame. They include the following:

Carbonated softdrinks

Chewable vitamins

Sugar-free cough drops

Tabletop sweeteners

Yogurt

Most people think that they already know these “healthy,” aspartame-based products like the back of their hands. Truth is – and an ugly one at that – there are scientifically backed evidences and lab results showing the dangers and unproven safety of aspartame use.

The deceased lab animals tested for aspartame safety can vouch for this: tumors have developed in animal bodies, which were misleadingly rendered as “normal swelling” in the FDA-published report by Jerome Bressler in August 1977.

Human reports to FDA, too, have associated aspartame to minor adverse reactions and life-threatening conditions that include:

Migraines

Change in vision

Nausea and vomiting

Insomnia / sleep problems

Abdominal and joint pains

Change in heart rate

Depression

Memory loss

Seizure

Brain cancer

More than these complaints to the FDA, there are also around 10,000 documented reports of aspartame side effects and over 900 published studies on the health hazards. And there’s more you’d be thankful to know!
