Summary: sweet poison
Comment: Shorty after going on a high protein low carb diet, I began to experience health problems such as joint pain and severe vertigo. I ran into this book by accident in a used book store in Manhattan and I am so greatful I did. I found many of my symptoms in the book and immediately discontinued my use of all diet products, while continuing my diet. Within a couple of weeks most of my symptoms were gone. I attempted to incorporate some diet soft drinks into my diets shortly after, thinking that perhaps just a little would do no harm. Again, within a few days I was plagued with dizzy spells and general malaise.
I do not know much about bio chemistry, however I do know that my symptoms were depicted in the book and that they ceased whenever I discontinued my use of diet foods and drinks.
I found the book informative, well written and easy to read. I would recommend it to anyone who consumes any diet products.

Summary: Sweet Poison
Comment: Janet Starr Hall's doctors expected her to die, but she defied them and lived to tell her story in Sweet Poison: How the World's Most Popular Artificial Sweetener is Killing Us--My Story. Rather than suffering from Graves' Disease, a deadly thyroid disease, Hull had been poisoned by the food and soft drinks she had consumed.
A working mother with little time, Hull relied on prepared foods. She counted on diet drinks to help control her weight. She didn't realize how much aspartame (Nutrasweet) she was consuming, and she didn't know until almost too late that it was toxic to her system. After her recovery, she devoted her spare time to researching the history of aspartame in food products. Her book is the result of those years of research.
She "uncovered hundreds of documents contradicting the NutraSweet Company's claim of product safety." She quotes statistics from the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) indicating that "aspartame accounts for over 85% of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA." Those reactions include headaches, depression, dizziness, seizures, and weight gain. Several deaths have been reported. There is also evidence that aspartame contributes to birth defects.
Her book details how the FDA first determined that aspartame was unsafe for humans, then later reversed itself. She obtained documents revealing the chemicals that constitute aspartame and how those chemicals behave in the human body.
Sweet Poison is a must-read for anyone consuming food or drinks containing aspartame. At the least, it will open your eyes to what you're putting in your body. It might even save your life.

Summary: literal anecdotal garbage
Comment: This work and other similar works are written either by ex-employees from aspartme companies or folks who believe in UFO
abductions. It is literally impossible for any sentient lifeform
with an IQ greater then that of an artichoke to believe this crap.
This kind of unsubstantiated, inaccurate data, some of which are
just bold faced lies, belongs on the internet with the rest of this hysterical trash. I do not have any vested interest in
artificial sweetners, but I do recognise bullcrap when I see it.
