22 December 2006
The artificial sweetener, aspartame, is the bedrock of the diet industry. Found in everything from fizzy drinks to vitamin pills and marketed under a variety of different names, it is difficult to detect and even harder to avoid. But how safe is it? Does it really cause brain tumours, blindness and other serious illnesses? This shocking documentary investigates how the FDA came to approve such a potentially dangerous product.

What happens when dishonest scientists, crooked politicians and corporate America join forces to "make life better" for you?

Must viewing. Video:

1. Aspartame, which is sold under a wide variety of names as a zero cal sweetener, is a neurotoxin

2. It's in literally thousands of package food products including but not limited to diet soft drinks, candy, and chewing gum

3. The science is, and has always been, clear: this is not a substance safe for human consumption

I'm sorry I have to say it's really true: Aspartame and other artificial sweeteners are POISON. A couple of weeks ago (I'm from the Netherlands by the way) I bought a pack of gum. At this time I had already heard of aspartame so i only buy gum without this crap. But some time later after chewing a muscle under my eye started to twich/vibrate. I couldn't stop this. After a lot of thinking about the possible cause i found out that i did not look carefully at the pack of gum, it contained ASPARTAME

@devmogra also understand companies who thrive on the thrashing of aspartame in their products are promoting their own products that use another dubious ingredient; sucralose. its food politics. look out for "industry conducted research" youre bound to find nothing but biased research processes and conclusions. ill give you credit though, the food that is on the market is an ingenious way of commiting genocide.

Okay so let's break this down in an attempt to find the truth... At 3:06 some guy starts quoting statistics - WHERE IS THE PROOF that these incredible figures are ACCURATE? Where is the public health information that clearly proves beyond and reasonable doubt that the number of diagnosed brain tumors jumped by 10%, and diabetes cases by 30%??? When this proof is provided, this guy will earn his credibility!

If Aspartame is so poisonous, I don't understand why it continues to be in products today, in 2011. I'm at a standstill here, I have aspartame containing products because I use the phenylalanine but am unsure of the methanol portion. Does it become toxic over a period of time or is it really dose dependent? Or are some people more at risk than others?

JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just started drinking diet soda and after watching this... well, lets just say I'm throwing all my fridge AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@4BIOLOGY or, aspartame is really dangerous, and you should avoid it. being a smart ass isn't going to save you.

[TYPHOOMASTER]

@4BIOLOGY methanol is poisonous, and compared to ethanol, has the same effect of making you drunk, but also causes blindness. You can't go against the facts, bro. Companies were sued in England for using methanol for vodka, instead of ethanol, as a cheap alternative.
