Posted on 2 April 2008
Back in October I wrote about the artificial sweetener aspartame. This food ingredient is perhaps the most controversial of all: its manufacturers and official bodies claim it

Check out this web site about a private experiment on aspartame. I wrote the into–so I know it is legit.

good site Carol. Aspartame really is problem & not the safe alternative to sugar we are told it is, manufacturers, have a lot to answer for and so do our authorities who we trust to look after our welfare. It seems the persuit of profit trumps public care once again.

My mum has been a diabete for many years and despite my objections would not listen to me only the dietican at the hospital. She began taken Aspartame and I would say is now addicted to it. Her mind has also gone and she has dementia. If you tried to take her aspartame away she is like a mad person. Is there anyway I can get this out in the open to stop other people suffering the way my mum is suffering?

Aspartame is an ingredient in the calcium supplement treatment that those of us with Hypoparathyroidism have to take – and have taken , in many cases, for years.
Is there an alternative?
Thanks

This is scary stuff. I used to routinely drink diet drinks sweetened with aspartane thinking they were beneficial because they helped me cut down on sugar. All I can say, over the last 7 months since I have stopped drinking them I have felt heaps better.
