Autotoxins are developed within the body. How does aspartame, which has to be consumed, qualify as an autotoxin?
Just about anything can be toxic if you consume enough of it. Even drinking too much water can kill you. Aspartame is made up of phenylalanine, which is an amino acid found in all proteins; aspartic acid which is another amino acid common in vegetables; and methanol, which is common in fruit. A glass of apple juice contains more methanol than several diet cokes.
How can these components be toxic as aspartame but not when we consume them naturally in the food we eat every day?

There are documented stories of people who have turned their health around by getting off of msg and aspartame, both excitotoxins.
Aspartame—I read an article years ago that Aspartame turns into formaldahyde once it gets into the body.
