Diet Soda or Regular?
Are you a diet soda drinker or do you prefer regular? If you chose diet, do you consume several cans per day? Or does anyone in your family drink them? Let me tell you about Victoria Inness-Brown, a mom whose family was addicted to diet soda.
Victoria was afraid that the artificial sweetener aspartame used in diet sodas might cause health problems for her loved ones. Being a concerned mother, she decided to do some research. (Victoria isn’t your ordinary mom) That research led her to perform her own aspartame experiment with 108 rats for 2 years and 8 months. Each day she fed some of the rats the equivalent, for their body weight, of two-thirds the aspartame contained in ONE 8-oz diet soda. Remember, only two-thirds.

Are you appalled? Does it make sense that what was once listed by the Pentagon as a biochemical warfare agent is now being promoted as an integral part of our daily diet?
Take a look at common symptoms associated with aspartame, according to FDA’s own records:
* Tumors * Obesity (ironic, isn’t it?) *Eye problems, including: protruding eyes, retinal detachment, blindness and bleeding eyes *Partial paralysis *Involuntary spasms in head and neck *Unsteady gait *Skin problems and lesions *Genetic damage and birth defects
Can you believe that aspartame is endorsed by the U.S. FDA as a safe product? And sadly, because of the myths put out by the makers of aspartame, many doctors recommend it as a good alternative sweetener in lieu of sugar. Yet there is a ton of evidence showing aspartame’s potential for danger. Several prominent, well-educated doctors and even judges have written books on the subject. For instance, H.J. Roberts wrote a three-pound tome entitled, “Aspartame Disease — An Ignored Epidemic.”
Think you can avoid aspartame? Sold commercially under names like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, Equal-Measure and Canderel, aspartame can be found in more than 6,000 products, including: * Diet sodas, juice drinks, and flavored waters *Chewing gum *Table-top sweeteners * Breakfast cereals, such as Fiber One* Fiber supplements, such as orange flavored Metamucil *Jams *Sweets. It’s even found in vitamins, as well as prescription and over the-counter drugs such as Alka Seltzer Plus, and some Tylenol medications.
If you’re looking for the FDA to protect you, forget it. They have a mutually rewarding relationship with the drug industry that is not likely to change anytime soon. So if you and/or family members are addicted to diet soda, or use aspartame regularly, you’ll have to take matters into your own hands. If you want to detox your family safely, Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D. has a web page describing what to do, with tips and directions. Google him.
Food – or drink — for thought. Maybe in my next mystery, the killer should use a big dose of aspartame as the murder weapon.
