Aspartame Side Effects
There are over 92 different health side effects associated
with Aspartame consumption. It seems surreal, but true. How can one chemical
create such chaos? The components of Aspartame can lead to a number of health
problems. Aspartame dissolves into solution and can therefore travel throughout
the body and deposit within any tissue. The body digests Aspartame unlike
Saccharin, which does not break down within humans. There are users who don’t
“appear” to suffer immediate reactions at all. Even these individuals are
susceptible to the long-term damage caused by excitatory amino acids,
phenylalanine, methanol and DKP.
