Are Artifical Sweetners Killing You?

Since I posted about the dangers of Aspartame I've come across a site that gives you much more scientific information and real world case studies of the problems it creates.

In fact the site claims Aspartame, and I suspect other artifically created sweetners can apparently cause the following:

• seizures and convulsions
• dizziness
• tremors
• migraines and severe headaches (Trigger or Cause From Chronic Intake)
• memory loss (common toxicity effects)
• slurring of speech
• confusion
• numbness or tingling of extremities
• chronic fatigue
• depression
• insomnia
• irritability
• panic attacks (common aspartame toxicity reaction)
• marked personality changes
• phobias
• rapid heart beat, tachycardia (another frequent reaction)
• asthma
• chest pains
• hypertension (high blood pressure)
• nausea or vomitting
• diarrhea
• abdominal pain
• swallowing pain
• itching
• hives / urticaria
• other allergic reactions
• blood sugar control problems (e.g., hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia)
• menstrual cramps and other menstraul problems or changes
• impotency and sexual problems
• food cravings
• weight gain
• hair loss / baldness or thinning of hair
• burning urination & other urination problems
• excessive thirst or excessive hunger
• bloating, edema (fluid retention)
• infection susceptibility joint pain
• brain cancer (Pre-approval studies in animals)
• death
  

In addition to those complaints it's thought Aspartame can produce the symptoms or worsen the following:

• fibromyalgia
• arthritis
• multiple sclerosis (MS)
• parkinson's disease
• lupus
• multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS)
• diabetes and diabetic Complications
• epilepsy
• alzheimer's disease
• birth defects
• chronic fatigue syndrome
• lymphoma
• lyme disease
• attention deficit disorder (ADD and ADHD)
• panic disorder
• depression and other psychological disorders
