Aspartame Poison CenturyThalidomide is 90 years of aspartame, aka NutraSweet, Finn, Zero Cal and other brands. The text by the American researcher Barbara Alexander Mullarkey was distributed on the Internet by Betty Martini and its original can be found at http://www.dorway.com. This is a free radical for the Portuguese, made by me, Beatriz Medina, in July 1996. Aspartame can be considered the thalidomide of the 90s. With the names NutraSweet, Finn ZeroCal and other brands, aspartame sweeteners are extremely dangerous because they are present today in diet, so-called healthy foods, and even in children's vitamins, medicines, puddings, gelatin and the most innocent sweetening coffee . It is also found in Diet Coke and other diet sodas. Aspartame is a neurotoxin, a drug that destroys the brain and nervous system. The molecule has three components: aspartic acid, phenylalanine and methanol. Aspartic acid has been shown to cause brain damage in animal experiments. Phenylalanine found in aspartame is neurotoxic when isolated from other amino acids found in proteins. Facilitates the occurrence of convulsions and blocks the production of serotonin, which is one of the substances present in the brain to regulate sleep. Low serotonin levels and insomnia, causing depression, anxiety, mood swings and even symptoms of paranoia. Finally, methanol, a toxic wood alcohol that has blinded and killed thousands of converts after ingestion of formaldehyde and formic acid (the main component of fire ant sting venom). Formaldehyde, a deadly neurotoxin that is stored in fatty tissue, particularly in the hips and thighs, is used to embalm corpses and is a carcinogen.

That's 80 percent of all complaints about food additives, but the FDA does nothing to alert the public, who assume that a product advertised as healthy as it should be safe. This isn't the first time the FDA has approved a harmful drug. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) observed 80 people suffering brain seizures after eating or drinking products containing aspartame. The Community Nutrition Institute said: “These 80 cases meet the FDA's definition of imminent public health risk, which requires the FDA to immediately remove the product from the market..."
