The jar of ‘Simply Sweet’, pictured, note the contents on the label, was in our food cupboard.
About eighteen months ago, in 2007, my wife urged me to cut out sugar and use an alternative artificial sweetener, one which looks like sugar and tastes like sugar, ‘Simply Sweet’.So I did, but within weeks I soon began to develop unpleasant side effects, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, and my doctor advised me that it could be an adverse reaction to, the artificial sugar.
I ditched the sugar substitute but strange to say developed a taste for unsweetened tea, my main sugar intake, and then a few days ago I read this:
[SIDE EFFECTS]04/05/2008: Phyllis from Knoxville, USA writes: "I am in very good health, and do not take any kind of medications. I have been having symptoms that were horrendous for 2 months. In hindsight I have been having puzzling problems for years now, but as my body became more poisoned with time, I played my own doctor...My symptoms were very blurry vision, tired all the time, falling asleep at the drop of a hat, feeling as though I was "high" all the time and could not focus on a thought and the bathroom visits!!!!
I thought for sure I had colon cancer or something of that nature. It finally dawned on me! The diet pop I drink, the Splenda, I use in my coffee...I immediately stopped all consumption, and it is amazing, within 24 hours, I had a clear head...My visits to the bathroom ceased....my swollen stomach, no longer existed...My eyesight has been the best it has ever been...I have been experiencing withdrawal headaches...I am trying oil pulling as a remedy. I will NEVER consume any products that contain these poisons!!! and they should be outlawed!!!"
There was an almost empty jar of, ‘Simply Sweet’, in our food cupboard, an Aspartame and Acesulfame K based product according to the label.
My research into Aspartame has led me to believe that the outbreak of dementia, cancers, obesity and tumours, could well be attributed to this poison, that they’re feeding us in our drinks and food. The evidence seems overwhelming and so deserves its own section in the magazine. To read more articles, click on: ASPARTAME
