Aspartame is the main ingredient in many artificial sweeteners

DID YOU KNOW?

Aspartame can cause brain tumours and brain cancer

Dr Adrian Gross, Food & Drug Administration (FDA) Toxicologist

Aspartame interacts with antidepressants, cardiac medications, hormones, insulin, vaccines and many other chemical substances. It is a deadly neurotoxic drug masquerading as a harmless additive

Dr William Campbell Douglass M.D.

"I had severe depression in 1996.
In 2001 I stopped using Aspartame. Much improved, I am now functioning without contemplating suicide."

"There have been studies in the U.S. showing that artificial sweeteners actually contribute to weight gain, not to weight loss."

H.J. Roberts M.D., F.A.C.P., F.C.C.P.

Aspartame accounts for over 75% of adverse reactions, reported annually to the FDA. It has been associated with diabetes mellitus, arthritis, depression, hypoglycaemia, convulsions, headache, hypertension, hyperthyroidism and aspartame addiction.

Aspartame is used in over 5,000 products including 'fruit' drinks, diet colas, sweets, cakes, sauces and other processed food. It is not always included in the printed list of ingredients. It is sold as a tea/coffee sweetener under several different names, primarily Nutrasweet.

The manufacturer of Sucralose has issued this statement:
"foods made with low-calorie sweeteners are not normally a recommended part of a child's diet. It is sold in the UK by the name Splenda.
