Artificial Sweetener Disease (ASD) is sweeping across America, affecting tens of thousands of consumers, and Western medicine calls it anything but what it really is, so that doctors can prescribe expensive pharmaceuticals and set up "check up" appointments for the following weeks.

The popular saying that "there's not enough artificial sweetener in any specific product to cause health concerns" is a lie, especially now that in 2011 there are synthetic sweeteners in over 25% of all food, drink, gum and candy available. This cumulative effect has created ASD, and thanks to little or no regulation of chemical agents in food, it's not going away any time soon.

We are pawns. We are forced into a position to be taken advantage of by the Fed, corporations, and by our own federal and state governments. Don't believe me? Look up agenda 21, this, and the progression of healthcare in this country. Also, look into corporations buying into insurance policies on dieing employees.

We consume more diet products than any other country yet have the highest obesity rates... what does that tell you?

All the symptoms listed are also a consequence of getting old.

Let's put on our critical thinking hats here. Is more likely that a) aspartame is a sinister plot some 40 years in conceived by big pharma and the government to sell an unsafe and dangerous product that will give anyone who drinks it headaches..... or...... b)some nutjobs don't like the idea of anything artificial in what we eat and put up websites on the internet filled with half-truths and heresay in order to try to scare us to drink "natural" sugar and stevia.

You enjoy your Aspartame while I enjoy brown sugar and honey. If you think artificial anything in your body is good for you then.....

This statement is ridiculous. No one is forcing you to do anything. It's funny how people will find any excuse for the reasons why they are fat.

That tells me that people are approaching their problem in the wrong way. People go into dieting without properly educating themselves first on what is REALLY healthy and what is not. You think those lean cuisines are healthy? People just dive in head first into a diet and expect immediate results. That is why they always fail. The sad reality is that in order to reduce our obesity problem 90% of americans would have to make a drastic life style change. Including exercise, education, and healthy eating.

The 26 million diabetics in this country are amused by the "tens of thousands" who are worried about aspartame. Forest... trees....

You are right, but it's like being at the airport all day and choosing between McDonalds and Burger King. Nobody's forcing you, but it's not like you have a choice either.
