Additional Symptoms of
Aspartame Toxicityinclude
the most critical symptoms of all
fetal deaths
due
to irreversible
brain damage and birth defects, mental retardation,
peptic ulcers
and
increased craving for sweets
and hyperactivity in
children, as well as
severe
depression,
aggressive behaviour
and later life
suicidal tendencies Aspartame triggers, or
causes the following
illnesses: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Epstein-Barr, Post-Polio Syndrome, Lyme Disease, Adult onset leukaemia, Grave’s Disease, Meniere’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, ALS, Epilepsy, Multiple
Sclerosis (MS), EMS, Hypothyroidism, Mercury sensitivity from
Amalgam fillings, Fibromyalgia, Lupus, non-Hodgkins
Lymphoma, Attention Deficit
Disorder, (ADD) These are not allergies or
sensitivities, but
diseases and disease syndromes. Aspartame poisoning is
commonly misdiagnosed
because aspartame symptoms mock textbook ‘disease’
symptoms, such as Grave’s
Disease. 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. Textbook disorders and diseases may actually be a toxic load as a result of aspartame poisoning. |
