Aspartame is a chemical that at 86 degrees turns into folmaldiIhyde (spelling?). The FDA states that the 7.6 mgs a day is a safe level to consume. I have consumed 120mgs for 15 years and have had many health issues. I recently discovered this poision. I have a documentary on DVD titles 'Sweet Misery' that provides information on the FDA's intentional cover up on it's botched testing. I also have a report from the center for disease control that when you request it from the CDC you only get a summary...I have obtained the whole report. I stopped driniking diet pepsi 6 weeks ago and my health has changed drastically. I became obease and am now losing weight without any diet. There are many people in this country being diagnosed with MS, Fibromyalga and other diseases that they do not in fact have. If they would simply stop consuming foods and drinks with aspartame their symptoms would subside. There are currently over 9,000 products on the market today that contain this poision.
Aspartame did not come on the market until the 1970's so this is a recent discovery and many doctors are not aware of the toxic affects. This is a multi-billion dollar case guaranteed!!!!!! The chemical is produced by Monsanto and used in many diets drinks and foods.
