Re: GUM- aspartame

I came across a dozen cases of trident splash gum for free, and found myself taking full advantage, about a pack a day. One day my feet started to have many muscle twitches which lasted a week. I blamed the gum and cut it out of my diet. The twitches eventually gave way to a pins and needle sensation, and then went away.

I have since researched this, and have found my symptoms matched exactly with Atherosclerosis. My diet was quite high in saturated fat, however I had no problems until I started chewing the gum. I believe that my system was able to handle the high fat diet, as I am very physically active, however the Aspartame either overloaded my system or took precedent. Instead of dealing with my high fat diet my body had to detox the Aspartame first. So the fat stayed in and stuck to my arteries, and the symptom that made it's prescence felt was Atherosclerosis.

My conclusion: Aspartame is a toxin, which takes priority for your body to detox. While focusing on the aspartame, other "fringe" problems that previously were not causing symptoms will begin to make themselves known. A medical diagnosis will likely reveal a condition not directly caused by the aspartame, but caused by aspartame taking the first spot in the detox line up. This is why it is approved by the FDA, because a substance that produces a wild variety of symptoms flys below the radar of Western medicine. Aspartame poisons by exacerbating a previously existing but deactivated problem.

A corollory: Why not use aspartame for better health? If my conclusion is correct, a two week period of regular aspartame abuse could teach you about a problem that is years off. It certainly taught me something. But be careful, as forcing a health problem to the surface could do permanent damage. Hopefully I'm healthier now than I would have been had I not artificially advanced my Atherosclerosis symptoms with aspartame, and continued my high fat diet.
