My strict advice is to avoid all foods containing ingredients with chemical appearing names without first cross-referencing/consulting with the world's largest Public Library, The Internet. Primary source - the CSPI Food Additives List.

A note from the Publisher:
Monsanto Chemicals and Searle Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturers and deceitful people who are flourishing by manufacturing and selling that which causes the sufferings and deaths of their fellow man are committing an overabundance of Heinous Crimes. They have known since its inception Aspartame is Toxic and deadly with prolonged use. Still they unscrupulously bribed Aspartame into approval after seventeen years of denials by the ‘FDA’.
I propose “We the People” take them to the highest Court in the land. Monsanto and Searle are killing millions of people without prejudice for money. I have and hope all people will urgently write to the United States Supreme Court and address a criminal “Cause of Action” against Monsanto Chemicals, Searle Pharmaceuticals and all associated in the conspiracy and have Aspartame’s FDA approval “Overridden”. If we can’t ban them out; Let us try to prosecute them out.
Supreme Court of the united States, 1 First Street NW, Washington, DC, 20543

I HAVE LEARNED THAT ASPARTAME CONSUMPTION CAN TRIGGER MANY DEGENERATIVE DISEASES
THERE IS NO CURE!
SYMPTOMS WERE…CHRONIC FATIGUE, SEVERE DEPRESSION (TO THE POINT I THOUGHT OF ENDING IT) DRY EYES AND WORSENING EYESIGHT, TINGLING IN HANDS AND FEET (KINDA LIKE CARPAL TUNNEL),
AUG 7 2005 GOT E-MAIL ON DANGERS OF ASPARTAME..WAS PRETTY HEAVY DRINKER OF DIET MT. DEW AND QUIT THAT DAY…DIDN’T SLEEP AT ALL THAT NIGHT. COMPLETELY CHANGED… NO MORE CHRONIC FATIGUE,DEPRESSION ETC.ETC.
I had booked a Caribou hunt about 1.5 years prior and was to take place in Sept. 05
I emailed the outfitter on Fri. Before I got email on Sun. Warning of dangers of aspartame and wanted to know what all was expected of me to do (didn’t know if I could go on my “DREAM HUNT”)
Outfitter called me Monday after I was off of aspartame for only one day and when he called I said no problem now as I didn’t have chronic fatigue anymore as well as some of the other symptoms…went in Sept..walked for miles and had a ball…hmmm.. Coincidence….I think not!!!
-----------------------------------------------------

Dear Marvin,
Thank you for setting up your site to raise awareness of the terrible
effects of aspartame - the more sites the better.
Like you, I suffered aspartame poisoning after using Canderel
sweeteners in my tea from 1991 up to June 2009, when I discovered the
cause of the terrible health that I was experiencing. I had no idea I
was poisoning myself, as again, like you, I trusted that the Food
Standards Agency would protect us consumers, and that I was actually
doing something healthy for myself.
I had the same zombie-like feeling, was losing my sight, my eye
whites were yellow and bloodshot, I was extremely fatigued, my memory
and brain function was severely affected, my hearing diminished, my
heart was 'blipping' and this shot up to my head and caused momentary
extreme pressure there, stabbing pins and needles in my limbs, my
gums went pale. I thought I had ME or MS - it is still a miracle to
me that I recovered my health and my life - every day still feels
like a miracle.
I copied my complaint to 'Merisant - Canderel Uk' to Betty Martini,
and it was she who referred me to a group in the UK - UK Aspartame
Awareness Campaign 2008, who are continuing to assist me.
The more people made aware, and working together on this, the better.
Good luck with the campaign and I wish you all the very best.
Yours Sincerely,
Valerie Szilardy

Recently I discovered splenda was wreaking havoc on my body! for almost a year i was mildly-moderate nauseated?? from the time I woke up to the time I'd go to sleep. I started missing my periods. This past May I didn't have anything for 3 months. I was very irritable, easily angered even though I'm generally easygoing, mild mannered. I became horribly depressed to the point of suicide, always tired, unusually sensitive to light and sound, had tingling/numbness in my fingers at times. I'm 39 so I just assumed I was suffering from some severe form of perimenopause. My gyn md thought I was too young for this and couldn't explain the constant nausea I was having. My blood work was normal. I thought i was having some unusual hormonal imbalance, but doctors had absolutely no idea. I really couldn't bare spending every day feeling so awfully depressed and car sick all the time. Then! it all changed when I came across this article in a women's magazine (First) and! lo and behold a woman was suffering from similar symptoms. I don't recall having very many GI problems or heart palpitations or shortness of breathing too much but the nausea is what caught my attention. She finally zeroed in, that Splenda was the culprit. Immediately of course I stopped and today I feel more like my old self again. Now going on 2 weeks off of it. No more nausea. The depression had lifted. So for all you Diabetics, low carb eaters out there and if you're experiencing any of these symptoms, I would highly recommend checking out "foodanddiet.com/splenda". This is an excellent website and shares many stories of other splenda user sufferers. Then get off this poison NOW. This toxin absolutely trashed my life!

I have also read emails from people who were ingesting large amounts of sugarfreediet sodas and some of their complaints were: severe headaches and migraines, hallucinations, chest pains, numbness in arms, legs, sexual disfunction, severe menstrual periods, nausea, vomiting, chronic diarhea, impotency and trouble conceiving, miscarriages, memory loss, seeming to be in a "fog" all the time, chronic fever, burning tongue, chronic sore throat, hair loss, brain tumors.
