Aspartame – Are they Selling Disease for Profits?
Take a look at the long list of side effects before deciding
Aspartame – Gather the facts and make your own decision. Please read some of the evidence that we have gathered. Do you think so many passionate professionals argue over the safety of aspartame consumption for no reason? If you believe the studies that state aspartame is entirely safe, why do you think so many of these people have come forward in such intense battles? This is just a question to ask yourself. Do they really have an argument that aspartame is unsafe? If they did not believe it was not fit for human consumption, why would they put so much energy into educating society about their beliefs that it is harmful?
The science is abundant behind all of their beliefs that aspartame is toxic to the body, but can we battle the big industry giants and their multi-million dollar campaign to convince you aspartame is safe?
After reading the science, you can blindly believe or dig deep into the links and the research we have supplied here to make up your mind.
We believe that these groups worldwide trying to bring the truth about aspartame to the forefront are doing it so passionately because they are trying to protect the public. We agree that this product is only available to us due to the big businesses and deception.

We have compiled some evidence that shows the science behind the belief that aspartame is not fit for human consumption. Some go as far as saying it is deadly. The science suggests that drinking one can of soda containing aspartame a day increases type II diabetes by sixty-seven percent. Science also indicates that women who are more substantial consumers of aspartame-containing diet drinks might be more likely to experience heart attacks, other cardiovascular problems, and dangerous blood clots.
Several large-scale prospective cohort studies found a positive correlation between artificial sweetener use and weight gain. Remember, anything that says diet on the label very possibly contains aspartame. Most consumers consume these products to avoid sugar but may be unaware of this replacement’s health effects.
Aspartame ingestion results in the production of methanol, formaldehyde, and formate: In the gastrointestinal tract, aspartame is hydrolyzed to one of its component materials, methanol, and the two amino acids, phenylalanine and aspartic acid. Two amino acids, phenylalanine and aspartic acid, have neurotoxic effects.
Letters of Testimony Aspartame is a Muliopotential carcinogen
Letters of testimony to the House Committee on Health state that Aspartame is a multipotential carcinogen. They also state that the FDA knew it over two decades ago. Furthermore, they discuss two of the most impeccable studies ever done, the Ramazzini Studies.
Their conclusion: Aspartame is unfit for human consumption. Aspartame is deadly.
Letters of Testimony to the Hawaii House Committee on Health Concerning Aspartame
“Given the cancer-causing potential of aspartame, how would the FDA justify its position that it views a certain amount of aspartame as constituting an allowable daily intake or ‘safe’ level of it? Is that position in effect not equivalent to setting a ‘tolerance’ for this food additive and thus a violation of that law? And if the FDA itself elects to violate the law, who is left to protect the health of the public?”
Betty Martini is just one person responsible for exposing the toxic effects of aspartame. She has been dubbed a conspiracy theorist, and one goes so far as to call her a loon. They state that she is responsible for the Aspartame internet scare. Of course, the big industry puts this information out there. The facts are the facts, and the only way they can battle against the truth is to discredit anyone who speaks the truth that will interfere with their profits. Any time you read that someone is a loon, ask yourself who wrote this, and what are they trying to hide? Here is some truth.
Dr. Martini has been awarded an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree for the work she has done. Martini has compiled medical literature showing that numerous health risks multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus, methanol toxicity, memory loss, birth defects, blindness, depression, anxiety, and death) are associated with the consumption of aspartame.
Many come forward to battle big business and expose them for not giving a damn about human health. Their defense, most of the time, is to call them conspiracy theorists, among other things.

Headache, Memory, and Mood
Aspartames Role in Cancer, Heart Disease, Dementia, Stroke, and more.
Italian researchers recently added [PDF] to a long-standing and growing body of literature pointing to aspartame’s possible role as a carcinogen. Their conclusion, published in Environmental Health Perspectives, was stark:
“The results of this mega-experiment indicate that [aspartame] is a multipotential carcinogenic agent, even at a daily dose of 20 mg/kg body weight, much less than the current acceptable daily intake.”
We disconnected the link to the PDF because it is now a broken link. It says – We can’t connect to the server at ehp03.niehs.nih.gov. Other websites also cite this document that no longer has a link. Broken links are bad for search engine optimization, so we took out the link to the page. It was there when we started this article.
Here is a study that shows the carcinogenic effects of aspartame.
First Experimental Demonstration of the Multipotential Carcinogenic Effects of Aspartame Administered in the Feed to Sprague-Dawley Rats
Please read all of the details of the study. We will highlight the conclusion for you if you do not want to read through all of the science.
Conclusions
Our study shows that APM is a multi-potential carcinogenic compound whose carcinogenic effects are evident even at a daily dose of 20 mg/kg bw, much less than the current ADI for humans in Europe (40 mg/kg bw) and in the United States (50 mg/kg bw).
The results of carcinogenicity bioassays in rodents are consistent predictors of human cancer risks (Huff 1999; Rall 1995; Tomatis et al. 1989).
The results of our study therefore call for an urgent reexamination of the present guidelines on the use and consumption of APM.
Methanol, formaldehyde, and formate
Aspartame ingestion results in the production of methanol, formaldehyde, and formate: These claims are factual. In the gastrointestinal tract, aspartame is hydrolyzed to one of its component materials, methanol, and the two amino acids, phenylalanine, and aspartic acid.
Two amino acids, phenylalanine, and aspartic acid have neurotoxic effects.

Can Diet Soft Drinks Contribute to Heart Trouble in Women? By Brenda Goodman
HealthDay Reporter
Latest Heart News
SATURDAY, March 29, 2014 (HealthDay News) — Women who are heavy consumers of diet drinks might be more likely to experience heart attacks, dangerous blood clots, and other cardiovascular problems than those who rarely or never consume artificially sweetened beverages, according to a large, new study.
The findings come from a study of nearly 60,000 healthy postmenopausal women in the United States. Participants were asked to estimate how many artificially sweetened drinks they’d had each day for the past three months. Diet soft drinks and low-calorie fruit drinks were counted toward the daily total.
Aspartame as a Carcinogen,
We found a link to Dr. Mercolas’s list of studies done on Aspartame. He has many articles on the subject and discusses the toxic effects of aspartame eloquently.
Do Artificial Sweeteners Contribute to Glucose Intolerance or Diabetes? Science says…
For instance, this study suggests that drinking soda containing aspartame daily increased the risk of Type 2 diabetes by 67 percent (regardless of whether the participants gained weight or not) and the risk of metabolic syndrome 36 percent in one study.5
From: PLoS One. 2014; 9(10): e109841. Published online 2014 Oct 14. doi: [10.1371/journal.pone.0109841] PMCID: PMC4197030 PMID: 25313461
Major findings were as follows: i) APM lowered net energy consumption and body mass in both CH and HF. In HF, APM resulted in lower body fat percentage as well as a decline in plasma insulin levels; ii) APM consumption was associated with fasting hyperglycemia and impaired insulin tolerance in both CH and HF; iii) APM resulted in distinctive changes in the gut microbiota including increases in Enterobacteriaceae and Clostridium leptum. Within HF, APM attenuated typical HF-induced increases in the Firmicutes: Bacteroidetes ratio and resulted in an elevation in Roseburia ssp.; and iv) APM increased serum propionate, an SCFA of bacterial origin. The effects were observed despite the small quantities of APM consumed (∼5–7 mg/kg/d), as previously mentioned, equivalent to an approximate human consumption of 2–3 diet soft drinks per day for 8 weeks.
These results show APM, even at very low doses, to have multiple and complex effects on metabolic health.
