> Aspartame is mostly Phenylalanine, one of the amino acids which the body cannot manufacture itself, but must acquire from food. It is abundant in meats and cheese.
Phenylalanine (50% of aspartame) is one of 22 amino acids that occur naturally in some protein foods. Phenylalanine must be accompanied by the other 21 amino acids to metabolize properly. When it is alone, it floods the brain and causes the serotonin necessary for emotional health to lower and from this comes seizures, depression, rage, anxiety, suicidal thoughts. This is well documented. In the early 70's Dr. Waisman fed 7infant Rhesus monkeys phenylalanine and milk. One died and the other 6 had grand mal seizures. When the phenylalanine stopped, so did the seizures.
> If Nutrasweet is really bad we would have flipper babies everywhere by now.We do have flipper babies with seizures ADD and autism The teratogenic experiments with aspartame were disastrous. One FDA scientist said it was a 'whitewash.'
The only point I was making is that calling it a poison is way off base, it is like calling water a poison, both are essential for life.
As I explained the phenylalanine is aspartame is an isolate--as is the methanol (10%) wood alcohol in aspartame. Now we have 11 years old children with cirrhosis of the liver. Flipper, yes?

Like the 92 symptoms the FDA was forced to release under the Freedom of Information Act in 1995 from coma to death to weight gain to rash to memory loss. PLEASE go to http://aspartamekills.com

Please do not kill yourself with diet Coke. We, at Mission Possible, the organiztion that is warning the world call it 'do it yourself embalming.Gee, I hope this posts.
