If it’s labelled “Sugar Free” – DON’T HAVE IT!

The Dangers of Aspartame:
For several years, I’ve been hearing about the dangers of Aspartame and I avoid it whenever possible. Aspartame is so many products that for some, it may be difficult to avoid. Since I don’t drink soft drinks, one of my only sources of aspartame is gum. I’ve been trying to cut out gum because most sugar-free gum has aspartame. Unfortunately, like high fructose corn syrup, aspartame is in everything.
A few years ago I bought a bag of sugar-free gummy bears and I ate the entire bag all in one day. I got sick and had major stomach issues, I was also in the bathroom for a while. I wasn’t sure it was the gummy bears although that was the only thing that was different that I ate. I ignored it and some months later I ate gummy bears again and I had the same symptoms. Let just say that I no longer eat sugar-free gummy bears.
“The EPA announced that there is an epidemic of Multiple Sclerosis and Systemic Lupus and they did not know what toxin was causing this to be rampant across the US. Scientists have now found the answer to this question - Aspartame. Symptoms of Aspartame Disease are: Fibromylagia symptoms, spasms, shooting pains, cramps, vertigo, numbness in the legs, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, blindness and memory loss.”- American Health Magazine
