Death By Diet Soda

by Erin Huggins on May 27, 2009

Still a slave to your diet soda? The documentary, “Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World” uncovers the dangers of aspartame, how it got approved by the FDA in the first place and exposes an industry whose actions can only be described as the mass poisoning of America.

From womb to tomb we are being marketed chemicals or drugs in one form or another. The companies making food additives are the same companies making the drugs that repair the damage from food additives. It’s a revolving door. From grocery store to hospital.

If you are eating diet foods you are being poisoned, pure and simple. The whole process of turning a food into “diet” or “fat free” or “light” means the stripping of nutrients and means including man made chemicals; like Aspartame and MSG, to enhance the flavor of these foods. But, Aspartame is in more than diet foods. Check your labels. If it says sugar free, most likely it’s sweetened with Aspartame.

According to http://www.dorway.com a non profit Aspartame research and support organization Aspartame is not:

  • Aspartame is not a natural substance.
  • Aspartame is not a diet enhancement product.
  • Aspartame is not safe.
  • Aspartame is not a food additive.

Now let’s take a look at what Aspartame is:

  • Aspartame is an unregulated and unsafe drug.
  • Aspartame is a man made chemical compound.
  • Aspartame breaks down into formaldehyde that is never released by the human body.
  • Aspartame poisoning is cumulative.

The FDA lists 92 official side effects of Aspartame. Here are just a few:

  • Headache
  • Poor Equilibrium
  • Change of Mood
  • Nausea
  • Change in Vision
  • Seizures
  • Memory Loss
  • Difficulty Breathing

I highly recommend watching the documentary, “Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World.” You can stream it from Netflix. Here is a clip where a scientist and a former FDA researcher discuss the dangers of Aspartame and the unethical and illegal actions that allowed Aspartame to enter our food supply:
