I just recieved this e-mail from a type 1 double amputee friend,
its a very long e-mail but def worth a read.

regards Micky.



If it says 'SUGAR FREE' on the label; DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! I have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on 'ASPARTAME,' marketed as 'Nutra Sweet,'
'Equal,' and 'Spoonful.'
In the keynote address by the EPA, it was announced that in the United States in 2001 there is an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. It was difficult to determine exactly what toxin was causing this to be rampant. I stood up and said that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject.

I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous: When the temperature of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants.
The methanol toxicity mimics, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus.
Many people were being diagnosed in error.
Although multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, Methanol toxicity is!

Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers.
The victim usually does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues its use; irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a life-threatening condition.

We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic, once taken off diet sodas.
In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, most of the symptoms disappear. We've seen many cases where vision loss returned and hearing loss improved markedly.

This also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia.

During a lecture, I said, 'If you are using ASPARTAME (Nutra Sweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting, pains, numbness in your legs,Cramps, Vertigo, Dizziness, Headaches, Tinnitus, Joint pain, Unexplainable depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss you probably have ASPARTAME poisoning!'
People were jumping up during the lecture saying, 'I have some of these symptoms. Is it reversible?'

Yes! Yes! Yes!
STOP drinking diet sodas and be alert for Aspartame on food labels! Many products are fortified with it!

This is a serious problem.
Dr. Espart (one of my speakers) remarked that so many people seem to be symptomatic for MS and during his recent visit to a hospice; a nurse stated that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Cokeaddicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence!

Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is a chemically altered, multiple SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containing product that actually makes you crave carbohydrates. It is far more likely to make you GAIN weight!
These products also contain formaldehyde, which stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. Formaldehyde is an absolute toxin and is used primarily to preserve 'tissue specimens.'
Many products we use every day contain this chemical but we SHOULD NOT store it IN our body!
Dr. H. J. Roberts stated in his lectures that once free of the 'diet products' and with no significant increase in exercise; his patients lost an average of 19 pounds over a trial period.

Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics.

We found that some physicians, who believed that they had a patient with retinopathy, in fact, had symptoms caused by Aspartame. The Aspartame drives the blood sugar out of control.

Thus diabetics may suffer acute memory loss due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are NEUROTOXIC when taken without the other amino acids necessary for a good balance.

Treating diabetes is all about BALANCE. Especially with diabetics, the Aspartame passes the blood/brain barrier and it then deteriorates the neurons of the brain; causing various levels of brain damage,Seizures, Depression, Manic depression, Panic attacks, Uncontrollable anger and rage.

Consumption of Aspartame causes these same symptoms in non-diabetics as well.
Documentation and observation also reveal that thousands of children diagnosed with ADD and ADHD have had complete turnarounds in their behavior when these chemicals have been removed from their diet.
So called 'behavior modification prescription drugs' (Ritalin and others) are no longer needed. Truth be told, they were never NEEDED in the first place!
Most of these children were being 'poisoned' on a daily basis with the very foods that were 'better for them than sugar.'

It is also suspected that the Aspartame in thousands of pallets of Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi consumed by men and women fighting in the Gulf War, may be partially to blame for the well-known Gulf War Syndrome.

Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects, i.e. mental retardation, if taken at the time of conception and during early pregnancy.

Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and should NEVER be given artificial sweeteners.
There are many different case histories to relate of children suffering grand mal seizures and other neurological disturbances talking about a plague of neurological diseases directly caused by the use of this deadly poison.'

Herein lies the problem: There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was included in 100 different products and strong objection was made concerning its use. Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, and still nothing has been done. The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets.

Sadly, MONSANTO'S patent on Aspartame has EXPIRED! There are now over 5,000 products on the market that contain this deadly chemical and there will be thousands more introduced. Everybody wants a 'piece of the Aspartame pie.'
I assure you that MONSANTO, the creator of Aspartame, knows how deadly it is.

And isn't it ironic that MONSANTO funds, among others, the American Diabetes Association, the American Dietetic Association and the Conference of the American College of Physicians?

This has been recently exposed in the New York Times.

These [organizations] cannot criticize any additives or convey their link to MONSANTO because they take money from the food industry and are required to endorse their products.

Senator Howard Metzenbaum wrote and presented a bill that would require label warnings on products containing Aspartame, especially regarding pregnant women, children and infants.
The bill would also institute independent studies on the known dangers and the problems existing in the general population regarding seizures, changes in brain chemistry, neurological changes and behavioral symptoms.

The bill was killed.

It is known that the powerful drug and chemical lobbies are responsible for this, letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting and uninformed public. Well, you're informed now!
YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW!


Please print this out and/or e-mail To your family And friends.
They have a right to know too!
 
so has this person just copied it from a website?
 
We've had this exact same scare here a while ago. Don't panic - read margie's link.
 
I think it is a case of all things in moderation. SOme folks are affected by artificial sweetners and some are not.

Thanks for the link as all useful information helps to keep things in perspective and we can at least make informed choices.
 
This was one of those stupid emails that goes around and around and around and I now look at snopes for everything that is somewhat dodgy like this.
 
Again, I would agree with the 'read snopes' comments. There has never been any scientific proof that has shown aspartame causes any harm to you. To even exceed the RDA for aspartame, you'd have to drink 20+ cans of a drink containing it a day.
 
For a minute there i thought i was in big trouble....

Yeah, to agree with you guys, the advice given to us by the diabetes team locally is that yes, there is some evedence to suggest that eating mountains of artificial sweeteners can cause cancer in mice, but you would have to eat a lot of it. They said that the best thing to do was to cycle your brand of sweetener, so that when you've finished your jar of Canderel, switch to Splenda or whatever.

Somebody i work with was critising a newspaper report that was saying that the flu jab might cause schitzophrenia, having noticed a clinical trial where it apparently caused half a dozen pregnant monkeys to have schitzophrenic babies (which begs the question, how do you diagnose schitzophrenia in a baby monkey anyway?). It's the same sort of thing, the press likes to sensationalise and sell papers but has no thought to the readers who might be affected by these scares.
 
Great is that doing the rounds again, I last saw that around 2005/6..
 
I'm going to reduce my intake anyway but thats more on the basis im trying to drink more water lol
 
well thanks everyone i feel a lot more at ease again,

regards micky,

I know, I agree, where would we be without our sugar free drinks etc

🙂
 
Lets be honest if artificial sweetners were that much of a health risk governments would have a moral duty to ban them.

Also why would they try to cover up the potential dangers of consuming artificial sweetners when the cost of treating people with the conditions that the sweetners are supposed to cause would cost billions over time. No government would want to waste money unnecessary to treat medical conditions attributed to a particular product when simply withdrawing the product would solve a potential health time bomb.

Like all e-mails of the same ilk if I received it I would just delete it as it is just another chain e-mail with no truth in it.
 
i realy dont know what to say after reading this one about sweetners. for everyone trying to get to grips with diabetes no matter how long they been diagnosed realy dont need another worry onto there list i dont think every junk food sugarfree or otherwise is going to be perfect for us but everything in moderation which works for our own self.

i have also giving up finding out what other illnesses can be realated to diabetes i thought the word out on the street that we live our lives the best we can with the illness not letting it take over our lives!!!!
