I don't know how true this is, but I thought it was scary enough to pass it along to everyone I know. Personally I don't like the taste of diet stuff,
but I know a lot of people who drink a lot of it.

>> SWEET POISON A MUST READ
>> In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick. She had
>> stomach spasms and she was having a hard time getting around. Walking
>> was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out of bed;
>> she was in so much pain.
>>
>> By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies
>> and was on 24 various prescription medications. The doctors could not
>> determine what was wrong with her. She was in so much pain, and so
>> sick. she j ust knew she was dying. She put her house, bank accounts,
>> lifeinsurance, etc., in her oldest daughter's name, and made sure
>> that her younger children were to be taken care of.
>>
>> She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to
>> Florida(basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd.
>>
>> On March 19 I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and
>> she said they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she
>> had MS. I recalled an article a friend of mine e-mailed to me and I
>> asked my sister if she drank diet soda? She told me that she did. As
>> a matter of fact, she was getting ready to crack one open that
>> moment.
>>
>> I told her not to open it, and to stop drinking the diet soda! I
>> e-mailed her the article my friend, a lawyer, had sent. My sister
>> called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation and told me
>> she had stopped drinking the diet soda AND she could walk! The muscle
>> spasms went away. She said she didn't feel 100% but she sure f elt a
>> lot better. She told me she was going to her doctor with this article
>> and would call me when she got home. Well, she called me, and said
>> her doctor was amazed! He is going to call all of his MS patients to
>> find out if they consumed artificial sweeteners of any kind. In a
>> nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet
>> soda...and literally dying a slow and miserable death.
>>
>> When she got to FloridaMarch 22, all she had to take was one pill,
>> and That was a pill for the Aspartame poisoning! She is well on her
>> way to a complete recovery. And she is walking! No wheelchair! This
>> article saved her life. If it says 'SUGAR FREE' on the label; DO NOT
>> EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! I have spent several days lecturing at the
>> WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on 'ASPARTAME,' marketed as
>> 'NutraSweet,' 'Equal,' and 'Spoonful.'
>>
>> In the keynote address by the EPA, it was announced that in the
>> United Statesin 2001 there is an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and
>> systemic lupus. It was difficult to determine exactly what toxin was
>> causing this to be rampant. I stood up and said that I was there to
>> lecture on exactly that subject. I will explain why Aspartame is so
>> dangerous: When the temperature of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees
>> F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde and then to
>> formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. Formic acid is
>> the poison found in the sting of fire ants. The methanol toxicity
>> mimics, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis and systemic
>> lupus. Many people were being diagnosed in erro r. Although multiple
>> sclerosis is not a death sentence, Methanol toxicity is!
>>
>> Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis,
>> especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. The victim usually
>> does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues
>> its use; irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a
>> life-threatening condition. We have seen patients with systemic
>> lupus become asymptotic, once taken off diet sodas.
>>
>> In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, most of the
>> symptoms disappear. We've seen many cases where vision loss returned
>> and hearing loss improved markedly.
>>
>> This also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia. During a
>> lecture, I said, ' If you are using ASPARTAME (NutraSweet, Equal,
>> Spoonful, etc) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms,
>> shooting, pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness,
>> headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, unexplainable depression, anxiety
>> attac ks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss you probably
>> have ASPARTAME poisoning!'
>> People were jumping up during the lecture saying, 'I have some of
>> these symptoms. Is it reversible?'
>>
>> Yes! Yes! Yes! STOP drinking diet sodas and be alert for Aspartame on
>> food labels! Many products are fortified with it! This is a serious
>> problem. Dr. Espart (one of my speakers) remarked that so many
>> people seem to be symptomatic for MS and during his recent visit to a
>> hospice, a nurse stated that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet
>> Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond
>> coincidence!
>>
>> Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is a chemically altered, multiple
>> SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containing product that actually makes
>> you crave carbohydrates. It is far more likely to make you GAIN
>> weight!
>>
>> These products also contain formaldehyde, which stores in the fat
>> cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. Formaldehyde is an
>> absolute toxin and is used primarily to preserve 'tissue specimens.'
>> Many products we use every day contain this chemical but we SHOULD
>> NOT store it IN our body!
>>
>> Dr. H J. Roberts stated in his lectures that once free of the 'diet
>> products' and with no significant increase in exercise; his patients
>> lost an average of 19 pounds over a trial period.
>>
>> Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics. We found that some
>> physicians, who believed that they had a patient with retinopathy, in
>> fact, had symptoms caused by Aspartame.
>> The Aspartame drives the bloodsugar out of control. Thus diabetics
>> may suffer acute memory loss due to the fact that aspartic acid and
>> phenylalanine are NEUROTOXIC when taken without the oth er amino
>> acids necessary for a good balance.
>>
>> Treating diabetes is all about BALANCE. Especially with diabetics,
>> the Aspartame passes the blood/brain barrierand it then deteriorates
>> the neurons of the brain; causing various levels of brain damage,
>> seizures, depression, manic depression, panic attacks, uncontrollable
>> anger and rage.
>>
>> Consumption of Aspartame causes these same symptoms in non-diabetics
>> as well.
>> Documentation and observation also reveal that thousands of children
>> diagnosed with ADD and ADHD have had complete turnarounds in their
>> behavior when these chemicals have been removed from their diet. So
>> called 'behavior modification prescription drugs' (Ritalin and
>> others) are no longer needed. Truth be told, they were never NEEDED
>> in the first place! Most of these children were being 'poisoned' on a
>> daily basis with the very foods that were 'better for them than
>> sugar.'
>>
>> It is also suspected that the Aspartame in thousands of pallets of
>> diet Coke and diet Pepsi consumed by men and women fighting in the
>> Gulf War, may be partially to blame for the well-known Gulf War
>> Syndrome.
>>
>> Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects, i.e. mental
>> retardation, if taken at the time of conception and during early
>> pregnancy. Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders
>> and should NEVER be given artificial sweeteners. There are many
>> different case histories to relate of children suffering grand mal
>> seizures and other neurological disturbances talking about a plague
>> of neurological diseases directly caused by the use of this deadly
>> poison.'
>>
>> Herein lies the problem:
>> There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was included 100
>> different products and strong objection was made concerning its use.
>> Since this initial hearing, &n bsp;there have been two s ubsequent
>> hearings, and still nothing has been done. The drug and chemical
>> lobbies have very deep pockets.
>>
>> Sadly, MONSANTO'S patent on Aspartame has EXPIRED! There are now
>> over 5,000 products on the market that contain this deadly
>> chemicaland there will be thousands more introduced. Everybody wants
>> a 'piece of the Aspartame pie.' I assure you that MONSANTO, the
>> creator of Aspartame, knows how deadly it is.
>>
>> And isn't it ironic that MONSANTO funds, among others, the American
>> Diabetes Association, the American Dietetic Association and the
>> Conference of the American College of Physicians?
>>
>> This has been recently exposed in the New York Times. These
>> [organizations] cannot criticize any additives or convey their link
>> to MONSANTO because they take money from the food industry and are
>> require d to endorse their products.
>>
>> Senator Howard Metzenbaum wrote and presented a bill that would
>> require label warnings on products containing Aspartame, especially
>> regarding pregnant women, children and infants. The bill would also
>> institute independent studies on the known dangers and the problems
>> existing in the general population regarding seizures, changes in
>> brain chemistry, neurological changes and behavioral symptoms. The
>> bill was killed.
>>
>> It is known that the powerful drug and chemical lobbies are
>> responsible for this, letting loose the hounds of disease and death
>> on an unsuspecting and uninformed public. Well, you're Informed now!
>> YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW!
>>
>> Please print this out and/or e-mail to your family and friends.
>> They have a right to know too
