Toxicity Effects of Aspartame Use

Selection of Health Effects from Short-term and/or Long-Term Use

Note: It often takes at least sixty days without *any* aspartame or
NutraSweet to see a significant improvement. Check all labels very
carefully (including vitamins and pharmaceuticals). Look for the word
"aspartame" on the label and avoid it. (Also, it is a good idea to avoid
"acesulfame-k" or "sunette.") Finally, avoid getting nutrition information
from junk food industry PR organizations such as IFIC or organizations that
accept large sums of money from the junk and chemical food industry such as
the American Dietetic Association.
