ASPARTAME – THE SHOCKING STORY OF THE WORLD’S BESTSELLING SWEETENER -true /false?
Aspartame is the most controversial food additive in history. The most recent evidence, linking it to leukaemia and lymphoma, has added substantial fuel to the ongoing protests of doctors, scientists and consumer groups who allege that this artificial sweetener should never have been released onto the market and that allowing it to remain in the food chain is killing us by degrees....aspartame was listed by the Pentagon as a biochemical warfare agent. Today it's an integral part of the modern diet. Sold commercially under names like NutraSweet and Canderel, aspartame can be found in more than 5,000 foods, including fizzy drinks, chewing gum, table-top sweeteners, diet and diabetic foods, breakfast cereals, jams, sweets, vitamins, prescription and over-the-counter drugs

I really think that is so scary to think that we are eating this poison everyday and we are giving it to the children. I am checking every label in the store for aspartame. Because I am worried to eat this thing. Plus I suffer from panic attacks I think this could have caused it. I was a huge drinker of diet coke before the attacks apeared.
ITS strange you say this.I STOPPED using this sweetner.IT MADE ME VERY ILL..I hear its stil on the market too.
As I sip my diet coke…you know they have a label on the bottle that says "smart choice" due to the amount of calories. I’ll stay a skinny and be riddled with tumors.
if you inject concentrated solutions of almost ANYTHING directly into a rat’s bloodstream several times a day it’ll cause cancer.
the amounts and concentrations of aspartame sold in commercial foods are HARMLESS. you’re not going to die from sweetener, and no, it is not the most controversial food additive in history.
The Food and Drug Administration, the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) of the World Health Organization, the Scientific Committee for Food of the European Community and regulatory agencies in more than 100 countries have reviewed aspartame and found it safe for use. The American Medical Association, the American Dietetic Association and the American Diabetes Association also have found aspartame safe.
Your website is full of Crap. FALSE.
And aspartame was NEVER "listed by the Pentagon as a biochemical warfare agent". Total falsehood. Here’s the development history: http://www.elmhurst.edu/~chm/vchembook/549aspartame.html

well, anything that has been mechanically or chemically processed is not really good for the body. yes, aspartame is very bad — but so is regular sugar! the best thing to drink honestly is a big glass of water… it does wonders to your body.
based on experience, i hate aspartame… they claim that splenda is better — i didn’t like it either. they both give off this bitter after-taste, and i feel light-headed or have this "dehydrated" feeling whenever i drink or eat foods with aspartame. that’s why i stopped it. it’s either i’ll take regular sugar (i know it’s bad — i just don’t want to go through the whole "dehydrating" experience again) or i’ll just drink water.
