Do you experience weird health symptoms that pop out of nowhere – like vertigo, a migraine, or IBS? Over time, they just don’t go away.
You go to your doctor who typically doesn’t find anything wrong, you get a COVID test, and then your doc hands you yet another prescription to fill. When you get home, you swallow that new, little pill down with an icy diet cola.
… and your symptoms still don’t go away.
Did your doctor ask if you are using aspartame? Aspartame just might be the cause of your unexplained health symptoms, and if you ARE drinking diet drinks, using Equal®, or chewing sugarless gum, stop and see if your symptoms subside and eventually disappear.
10+ Common Health Reactions
There are over 92 different health reactions recorded in FDA files as a result of using aspartame, but here are the most common ones. The complete FDA list is in my book Sweet Poison, and remember that everyone is different, so you might not react the same way that your neighbor reacts. Sadly, after receiving over 10,000 complaints in just 10 years of use, the FDA stopped registering aspartame side-effects in 1992. Today, this list could be much longer:
- Headaches (migraine-type headaches right in the middle of your forehead)
- Blurred vision
- Numbness and tingling in the arms and legs (commonly misdiagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis)
- Ringing/swishing in your ears
- Dizziness/vertigo/problems with balance
- Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, and dropping into deep REM
- Weight gain
- Thyroid disorders
- Erratic blood sugar swings (Type II diabetes)
- Skin irritation/acne/itching/rash/hives
I can keep listing more …. okay, I will.
- Depression/mood swings/irritability
- Loss of libido
- Hair loss/thinning
- Seizures and convulsions
- Change in menstrual pattern
- Difficulty breathing
- Change in heart rate/irregular heart beat
- Memory loss/confusion
- Muscle spams/cramping
- Abdominal pain/cramps/constipation
It’s common to question how this one sweetener can cause so many different health reactions, and sadly, the medical community uses this confusion to discredit the validity of your complaints. They look at you like you are a hypochondriac, and many times they recommend that you go see a counselor.
If you use aspartame and the other diet sweeteners, you’re NOT crazy!
Headaches
Aspartame is a neurotoxin, which means that it penetrates into your brain, and when any toxic substance, called a neurotoxin, enters your brain, it can damage your health.
Once a neurotoxin has entered your brain, it has NO NUTRITIONAL USE for it. Toxins have no value to your health, and hence, you body will try to get rid of it.
This is why aspartame’s #1 side-effect is a headache.
Using aspartame can result in a myriad of health symptoms, from tinnitus to mood swings.
The next time you down a diet cola and start experiencing unexplained health symptoms, stop using aspartame and all the diet sweeteners before you spend your time and money on doctor visits, medical tests, and on meds that merely mask your symptoms.
What a healthy, cheap fix. And remember that you’re not crazy.
