Extremely Helpful and Informative

The highly toxic sweetener known as Aspartame (pronounced 'as-PAR-tame' in Standard English) urgently needs to be banned worldwide. It's unfit for human consumption and has no business being in the food chain.

When warning of its dangers there's a risk of being perceived as some kind of zealous missionary who's hell-bent on 'proselytising' one's family and friends. You can be perceived as someone with a 'hang-up' about one particular additive. A friend of mine visited his niece's house and was offered a fizzy drink. When he started to read the ingredients on the bottle his niece remarked, "Oh no, you're going to lecture me about that sweetener that [this reviewer] is always on about!" Janet Starr Hull to the rescue! This excellent, well researched and tastefully produced book is all the ammunition you'll need. The subtitle alone sends shivers down people's spines.

The standard retort is, "well why is it 'officially approved' if it's so unsafe?". The sweeping of chimneys by 8 year-olds was once 'officially approved'. Did that make it safe? Or right? Even today, many unenlightened societies 'officially approve' workplace smoking. This exposes MILLIONS to the risks of lung cancer and ischemic heart disease. Governments who approve workplace smoking on the grounds of "civil liberties" are only buying themselves time. It's a stay of execution, no more. Some 30 years hence the next generation will marvel that we even debated such an open and shut case.

In 2008, Aspartame is probably where tobacco was in the mid-1970s. People are starting to wake up as the campaign to ban this deadly poison finally gathers momentum. Martin Luther King said "human progress never rolls in on the wheels of inevitability". Janet Starr Hull is a champion and a heroine. If Amazon allowed it, I'd have given Sweet Poison SIX stars out of five!

It's really true!

I changed over to diet Coke and diet Dr. Pepper about a year ago to try and loose weight.

At first I continued to loose weight and all was well...

But then my weight loss stopped, and I started having a hard time concentrating. I thought I was just getting older when I started having trouble seeing at night. Then I noticed I started dropping things and bumping into walls etc. And I started having headaches.

I didn't think it could have anything to do with the aspartame in the soft drinks I was consuming even though I was up to about two liters of soda a day.

Then I talked with our Pastors wife who had almost died from aspartame poisioning and she said you need to stop right away.

I felt really bad the first two days of not drinking or consuming any aspartame products. Plus I wasn't consuming any cafeeine either. I was going to bed and sleeping for 16 hours.

But in the next three days I started feeling clearer headed and just better all around. My night vision is coming back every day and I no longer drop things.

Must Read Book!

Everyone should read this book and understand the dangers of aspertame. It is far worse than people realize. I have stopped using any foods or drinks with it in, and I know I feel better, and have less headaches. A book for everyone!

Aspartame: The Poison They Don't Want You To Know About

For the past 2 years or so I had been feeling worse and worse as time went on. Headaches, neurological symptoms such as losing feeling in my arm and face, and the scariest of all, I was having trouble thinking straight. I really was beginning to feel like a different person and there were times that I felt like I was going insane.

Am I exaggerating?? I really wish I was, but sadly that was not the case. After speaking with my primary care doctor several times and having had tests done, I noticed that my symptoms improved at times, but nothing significant. I tried to put my finger on what the problem was, and one day while doing a search online, I found that some people who chewed Orbit gum were complaining of symptoms similar to mine. I had been chewing sugarless gum for years, and I never thought twice that what I was chewing could be hurting my body, potentially for the long term. After reading more, I immediately stopped using all products with aspartame/Nutrasweet/Equal and within a few short weeks I started feeling better.

During my initial research regarding the link between aspartame and the symptoms I was experiencing, I stumbled upon the book "Sweet Poison" by Janet Starr Hull, the story of how she found out that aspartame was the cause of her very own health problems and her research behind how this original ulcer drug got into nearly every type of food we eat every day.

Hull's story is very interesting, and anyone that wants to find out more about the story of how aspartame got into the United States food supply would be able to probably pick some bit of relevant information from this text, but I would be remiss if I didn't point out how sloppy the writing is. It's really a shame, because you get the point that the author really does care about educating the masses, but she would have been so better off if she had more people edit this book before it was published.

My favorite parts of this book relate to the story of the shady way in which aspartame got on the shelves of supermarkets around the country and how it probably should have been stopped long, long ago. It's just a sad realization that the corporations control America and it's not a new trend. The original fights to get aspartame FDA approved date back to the 1970s, and through loopholes and political tricks that is exactly what happened in the 1980s.

If you want to learn more about the history of aspartame and the story of an individual that had an adverse reaction to this drug, this is a nice read but it's very sloppy. Sometimes you will get done reading a paragraph and just say to yourself that the writing is outright POOR.

Some people will read this book and just say it's a bunch of hogwash and they have never had a bad reaction to a diet soda, but I can tell you from personal experience that this chemical CAN cause major problems so buyer beware.

In the battle between calories and chemicals, I'll take the calories, at least I can pronounce sugar more easily than many of the chemicals you see when you turn the label over of far too many foods that are purchased every single day.

*** RECOMMENDED

Very helpful, worth the read.

I was having thryoid problems after my second daughter was born. I was drinking Diet Dr. Pepper for an energy boost every day. This book caught my attention because of the author's thryoid disfunction. I read the book and stopped using aspartame.

My hair is no longer falling out, and my engergy and thryoid levels are back to normal.

My 3 year old daughter is epileptic, and several months before reading this book her seizures took a sudden turn for the worst. She started having 15-30 seizures a day, and even had 2 grand mal seizures. I was terrified by the increase in seizure activity and wondered what had caused the change.

Reading about how aspartame can cause seizures/grand mal seizures, I checked the vitamins I was giving my daughter.

Because it was fall, and I wanted her to be healthy during cold and flu season,I had started giving her several fruit flavored vitamin c chewables and 1 chewable multi vitamin. Checking the labels I discovered they all had aspartame as an ingredient.

It was hardly coincidence when I realized the increase in seizures was around the same time I started these vitamins. I threw out both bottles. It has been 6 months and my daughter has not had another grand mal seizure, and her seizures dropped from 15-30 a day down to 0-3 on a typical day. I was also able to drop 2 of her 3 seizure medications.

Aspartame is very dangerous, I had no idea.
