This article is an accumulation of long-standing intensive research into the brain chemistry-altering effects of a toxic, artificial sweetener consumed daily by hundreds of millions of unsuspecting individuals.We acknowledge the countless and unnecessary suffering, illness, and deaths, associated with the marketing of a trio of neurotoxic ingredients, collectively known as ASPARTAME [ L- aspartyl – L – phenylalanine methyl ester ], also called: NutraSweet, Equal, “Sugar Free”, and Neotame, et al. …a food additive in over 8,000 + food products worldwide.
The three toxic ingredients of Aspartame are methanol (wood alcohol), and phenylalanine and aspartic acid; both the latter are amino acid isolates.
This article is for the education of the public at large, the physicians and health specialists who have the integrity and intellect to understand the implications of aspartame’s ingredients and the biochemical and pathological effects upon brain nerve cells and tissues, resulting in serious neuro-endocrine disorders and other symptomologies.
Additionally, we hold accountable the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; G.D. Searle, the original maker of aspartame; Monsanto; and the numerous corrupted politicians, government officials, physicians, and health care organizations that have literally sold themselves for greed of wealth and power. This was done knowingly, at the expense of the health of millions of infants, children, and adults who needlessly suffer the debilitating effects of this known neurotoxin.
