Aspartame is an excitotoxin.
Aspartame contains methanol, a wood alcohol which is a deadly poison.
There are documented stories of people who have turned their health around by getting off of msg and aspartame, both excitotoxins.
We have gotten rid of all excitotoxins in our daily diet and it has made a huge difference. Excitotoxins are ADDICTIVE. Suddenly my kids eat regular food and love it.
MSG has so many hidden names (google about it) that you have to avoid all foods with ANY of them in the ingredients, including the nice-sounding euphemism “natural flavors.”
99.9% of all supermarket packaged foods have them in them. All crackers (except your most basic) have msg. But MSG is what makes people want to eat more and more and more of something. When we get any truly natural baked goods, my family seems to only eat a smaller amount and be satisfied.
Eating MSG and aspartame and HFCS means you are addicted to unhealthy chemicals. Try going off them (but it also means you have to carry your own food around because there is not much in a snack machine you can eat any more) for far better health and the natural taste of real foods.
But I thought it was an autotoxin? For three components that occur so abundantly in the foods we eat every day, they sure appear to be highly toxic. Makes you wonder why the FDA ever approved it or why people who've spent their lives studying food science consume it without fear.
So, according to your sources, if I eat a steak with peas and potatoes and then wash it all down with a little red wine or some apple juice, I'm causing neuronal cell death and placing myself at risk of a stroke and Huntington's disease or early Alzheimer's. Wow. Who knew?
Aspartame contains methanol, a wood alcohol which is a deadly poison.
So does fruit juice, red wine, strawberries, tomatoes or many other fruits and vegetables. Are you claiming that those foods, which most agree are good for us, are really highly toxic?
If you're afraid of methanol you should also be afraid to eat lima beans because they contain cyanide, potatoes contain arsenic, carrots, celery, lettuce and pears all contain caffeic acid which is a powerful carcinogen. Orange Juice contains limonene, which is used as paint stripper. Coffee, when it's roasted, creates more than 600 chemicals many of which are highly toxic.
Anyway, the point is you eat and drink lots of things that offer toxic substances but you're body easily deals with it without result. People drink ethanol regularly (which is also highly toxic) and your liver does a fine job of clearing it. As it is said, it's the dosage that makes the poison.

People will believe all sorts of things and the internet is a great place to prove it. The power of suggestion has always been underestimated. People will continue to buy into things that science proves otherwise.
