In Case You Missed It: Nutrition (What's Wrong with This Picture?)

Do you notice anything odd about this photo?

Aspartame.... ants, roaches, houseflies and other bugs won’t eat it, nor will cats or dogs. Yet the FDA approves Aspartame as a food additive. 

Did you know that there are nearly 7,000 complaints, including five deaths, attributed to the use of aspartame in food products since the FDA first permitted limited use in 1981? 

There are 90 documented symptoms of aspartame use including: headaches, migraine, muscle spasms, irritability, heart palpitations, loss of taste, joint pain, dizziness, weight gain, tachycardia (heart racing), breathing difficulty, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), blurred vision, seizures, rashes, insomnia, anxiety attacks, vertigo, hearing loss, nausea, depression, blindness, slurred speech, diarrhea, memory loss, fatigue & extremity numbness. I still wholeheartedly believe that my mother's MS symptoms (it took them quite a while to "officially" diagnose her with it)  were result of years of drinking diet soda and using artificial sweeteners in coffee & tea.

This substance is bad enough for adults but is even more toxic for children. I try to be educational and informative on this blog and refrain as much as possible from the "shoulds" and "should-nots" but I am going to give a BIG "should not" right here:

NO child nor teen should ever ingest this ingredient!
