A document from the European Parliament says that
the use of aspartame increases the exposure to its metabolites methanol/formaldehyde and phenylalanine, and is reported to provoke headaches, nausea and allergic reactions, especially in the case of vulnerable persons. Its widespread use should therefore be re-evaluated by the Commission and the relevant scientific committees, taking into account all available data and respecting the precautionary principle. A historical evaluation is required as there seems to be evidence that original studies did not prove the safety of aspartame.
“At every point in the fertility process aspartame destroys, beginning
with the gleam in Mom and Pop’s eyes: It ruins female sexual response and
induces male sexual dysfunction. Beyond this aspartame disrupts fetal
development by aborting it or inducing defects. And if a live child is born,
aspartame may have heinously damaged the DNA of the baby, cursing future
generations.”
-James Bowen, M.D.
