Your poisoning your body...and you don't even know it!!

I first stumbled across Aspartame when my Mum was diagnosed with Fybromylgia. For people who aren't sure about fybromylgia, it's a chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) which over time eats away at the bodies immune system to leave it ineffective. The side effects of Fybro are depression, muscle fatigue, lack of get up and go, aching muscle & joints to name a few, Aspartame acts as fybro's devil child.

After taking aspartame out of her diet she reaped the benefits within 2 weeks, feeling fresher, not as down in the dumps and being able to squat down and bend her joints (anyone who knows or has fybro can relate to this achievement).

To put the power of aspartame in perspective, it was once used in rat poison and is banned in certain countries. Aspartame was actually never been tested on humans before being approved.

Aspartame is a food companies dream, it taste as sweet as sugar, it has little to no calories in it. The companies can serve you low sugared alternatives with the same great taste of full sugar....errrrr no! What they can actually do is put a form of poison into your food to encourage headaches, migraines, dizziness, tumour's and even cancer.

Aspartame decreases weight loss efforts by stimulating the release of insulin and leptins making the body less resistance to them therefore increasing fat levels in the longer term. Also as a side note did you know that choosing a diet alternative e.g diet cola (containing aspartame) over full fat cola can actually make you eat an approx 140 extra calories, so ultimately making the diet decision backfire.

11 products that contain Aspartame:
  • Diet Drinks 
  • Yogurts
  • Chewing Gum
  • Cooking Sauces
  • Crisps
  • Tabletop Sweeteners
  • Drink Powders
  • Flavoured Water
  • Sugar-Free Products
  • Cereals
  • Children's Medicine (Scary!!)
If your happy with what aspartame does to your body and happy with the fact it use to be used in rat poison then crack on doing what your doing...If not – Change your eating habits now!!
