Aspartame

Aspartame is a sweetener found in many condiments, drinks, and chewable vitamins. It's also known as equal, Nurtasweet, or Canderel. This sweetener is found in the two main diet drinks, Diet Pepsi and Diet Coke.



Aspartame has created a lot of lawsuits and conterversy for Coca Cola and Pepsi in the past years. One web-site describes it as "poison! It's killing the unborn, raining tumors and seizures on the population, destroying children, incapacitating workers, mimicking MS, erasing memory and blinding. Inexorably Diet Coke visits a plague of 92 symptoms listed by our FDA on a secret report they'll never show which names diet soda as the first source of aspartame disease. And yes, Death was one of the 92."

Aspartame is still on the market and still FDA approved since 1981. "FDA calls aspartame ... one of the most thoroughly tested and studied food additives the agency has ever approved. The agency says the more than 100 toxicological and clinical studies it has reviewed confirm that aspartame is safe for the general population."

Many doctors now recommend that you stay as far away as possible from the millions of products that have aspartame because of it's severe side-effects. You can find the name aspartame in the section under the nutrition facts that lists the ingredients.
