The Dangers of Aspartame - E951

"Aspartame (E951) is an artificial sweetener, used in over 6000 products. The food industry claims that aspartame helps you to lose weight, but why is obesity then becoming an ever increasing problem?

Aspartame is a very sweet chemical, responsible for many health problems including obesity, diabetes, cancer, brain diseases, migraines, ADHD, etc.

Aspartame breaks down into three components:

1. Methanol.
This is the poisonous kind of alcohol. Once in the body, methanol breaks down into formaldehyde, which is a poison.
2. Phenylalanine.
This decreases the amount serotonin in your brain, which leads to mood swings (depressions) and an increased appetite! This is why aspartame is one of the main causes for the current obesity epidemic.
3. Aspartic acid.
This is a neurological toxin comparable to MSG.
