Is aspartme harmfull??

This is very controversial topic and I don’t think that anybody will be able to tell you the truth. I will say that aspartame has not hindered my weight loss any and I have not had any side effects from it but there are people that will tell you just the opposite.

I too really dislike all this. It seems to me that everything that has been told about aspartme is like with everything else – for almost every study that says aspartame is safe there is another one that says it is unsafe.... just like guy mentioned above, it is almost impossible to answer your question – I think that no one knows the real answer.

Aspartame is not safe.. since aspartame hit the market in 1982 in the USA.brain tumors has risen 30% . Aspartame is in all diet drinks..fact is it's in thousands of can foods and processed foods.Please google about this. aspartame kills.. check some of these sites. companys do not care what happens to people anymore as long as see the $$$$$$ comming in.

PS.. I suffer from this sh*t..

:-S

I attended a seminar and the Dr made a statement that aspartme if given to ants will kill them. Maybe it would make a good ant poison.

This is just pure bull. There is no evidence on this AT ALL, just a bunch of panic mongering by crazies.

For those inqurirng about aspartame, just aviod it like maggot- ridden meat. It is should be banned and monitored as is now Melamine (from Chinese suppliers) which caused the deaths of thousands of dogs and cats last year. No one knows why Food and Beverage companies continue to add this sweetner ingredient when considering the dangers, but its business as usual. I believe its manufactured in Japan, although it is illegal to use it Japan. The effects are real; the dangers real. Moslty in diet products, including the most famous diet drinks on the planet. Read labels and avoid it. If your eating certain desserts from cetain bakeries and getting headaches, fatigue and insatiable appetite, avoid that bakery.
Good luck.

aspartme is not healthy at all it is a silent killer. i for myself had stopped drinking all soda products but one day about two weeks ago i decided to buy the flavored water from the store and every since then i have been sick. terrible cramps,confusion, lake of energy, pain, dizzy, nausea, poor sleep. so i thought to myself what have i done differently and the only thing that i have done differntly was drinking and eating products with aspartme. and i am gaining weight also i have gained 5 pounds in in two weeks and alot of inches and mood swings. so i looked up aspartme side effect on the internet and saw for myself that i was having these side effects and that i needed to detox my body of this aspartme and it has been hard but it is worth it. please be careful aspartme is an toxic and once it is in the body it like methyl aclhol toxic please do the reserch and watch the documenty sweet posion about aspartme o.O

I, too, was drinking Diet colas and eating sweets with aspartme in them. I was fine until 2 years ago when I started having a medical condition that no one could really diagnose.  The best my neurologist could come up with was that I was having some kind of seizures.  Brain MRI was clean, so wsa the Brain ultra sound.  Another neurologist asked me what I had either drank or ate before the onset of the symptoms.  I thought about it for awhile and then said "cookies".  He asked if they had aspartme in them and I said "yes".  He said "stop eating them" and I said "of course".  He told me that aspartme was dangerous and that I should stay away from EVERYTHING that has this CHEMICAL  in it.  After I did some research about it, I have beem telling everyone I care about to also stay away from this bad stuff.  It is still unknown about all the medical conditions that have been caused by this chemical.  So why take a chance?  Are Diet Cokes, Diet Pepsi, Coke Zero, Pepsi Max and sugar free cakes, sugar free cookies, etc worth thousands of dollars in medical expenses?  And perhaps losing your life over?  NO!!!!   I quit that day and have not touched the stuff since then.   Please, please, research it for yourselves if you don't believe all of us.  PLEASE.

I am not a healthy person and I know it. I do know that I have relied on Diet Colas and sweetners for years. In 2009, I was diagnosed with Diabetes. I continued to use sugar free products and sugar free drinks to help me. In 2012 I had my aortic valve replaced. I was in a Cardiac Rehab program and working on proper nutrition. I was still drinking sodas and drinks with aspartme in them. In April 2013, I started having Vertigo. Symptoms so bad I would pass out. My balance was messed up and I had trouble walking a straight line. I almost drowned because I had an episode once while swimming. My sister read this article on facebook abouit aspartme being harmful. After reviewing the article, I realized I had a majority of the symptoms . I quit drinking soda and soft drinks with apsartame. I quite eating foods listed as sugar free. In less than a week, I could feel the difference. Yes I missed my Diet Coke, but I prefer living without fear of passing out. When I finally got into the neurologist because of my vertigo, I was symptom free. I told him about the article and he recommended I stay clear of aspartame. Its clear to me that aspartme is harmful.
