From time to time we all come across emails or newsletters that are worth forwarding to our friends and family. Well, this is one of them. It’s time to get viral…... and this time the truth about aspartame can’t be hidden.

My position has and always will be that using aspartame in any form can be detrimental to your health. Of course this is greatly disputed on the internet.

So much so that people are confused about the facts and are willing to just simply forget about the studies and data and eat and drink what tastes yummy. And this is exactly what the distributors of aspartame want you to do!

I am not much on conspiracy theories and the like but after reading Lynn Stratton’s latest article “The Spin on Aspartame” my perspective is starting to change……

If you Google “aspartame,” the results will take you literally days to wade through—believe me, I know. I’ve been sifting through it for days. There’s more than enough information, research, and speculation out there on the subject to fill volumes, and this is just a small article.

So rather than simply rehash everything that has been written about aspartame (I’ve included some links at the end of this article, and within it, for those who want more information), I wanted to take a different approach. I wanted to focus on a small part of the debate, and then follow it through to wherever it took me.

I wanted to look at the folks who keep assuring us that it’s safe: the experts. Experts in the government, experts in the medical field, the people who keep patting us on the head and telling us not to worry, that if aspartame was dangerous, they’d tell us.

The problem was, I’ve always been something of a skeptic. The more someone pats me on the head, the more I start looking for something up his sleeve.

But, as skeptical as I am, what I found startled me: a concerted effort, on the part of those at the highest levels of our government and those at the highest levels of the medical community, to mislead us about the safety of aspartame.

Let me be clear: We have been deceived about the safety of a dangerous product, and all in the name of corporate profits.
