Today's tip will reveal the dangers of NutriSweet (Aspartame).

Don't be fooled by "paid spokes-people" claiming that NutriSweet is harmless.

This is far from the truth!

Matter of fact, I can personally get sick after eating or drinking something with NutriSweet.

There are over 92 different health side effects associated with aspartame consumption.

It seems unreal, but true.

You many be wondering, how can one chemical create such chaos?

Aspartame can lead to a number of health problems. Side effects can occur gradually, can be immediate, or can be acute reactions.

According to Lendon Smith, M.D. there is an enormous population suffering from side effects associated with aspartame, yet have no idea why drugs, supplements and herbs don't relieve their symptoms.

  These are not allergies or sensitivities, but diseases and disease syndromes.

  Aspartame poisoning is commonly misdiagnosed because aspartame symptoms mock textbook 'disease' symptoms.

  Aspartame changes the ratio of amino acids in the blood, blocking or lowering the levels of serotonin, tyrosine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and adrenaline.

  Therefore, it is typical that aspartame symptoms cannot be detected in lab tests and on x-rays.

  Remember, aspartame is the common denominator for over 92 different health symptoms at the root of modern disease.

  If you have an "un-resolved" illness and you have been eating or drinking foods or beverages with NutraSweet, I urge you to STOP consuming it for 90 days and see if you notice an improvement in your symptoms.
