BITTERSWEET VIGNETTES ABOUT
ASPARTAME (NUTRASWEET®)*
Aspartame Disease, so designated by
H. J. Roberts, M.D., has become a major medical and
public health problem. More than 80 percent of
complaints about foods and additives previously received
by the FDA over a decade ago, involved
aspartame-sweetened products ( FDA Consumer,
October 1988). Thousands of outraged consumers have
volunteered information about their severe reactions
(including convulsions) to this agency, which still
chooses to label them as "only anecdotal." The
author's database now exceeds 1,300 aspartame victims.
Frequent complaints attributed to
this "most tested additive in history" are severe
headaches, confusion, memory loss, impaired vision or
blindness, insomnia, behavioral changes, depression,
dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea,
rashes, and even weight gain! Patients with
hypoglycemia ("low blood sugar attacks") and
diabetes are often adversely affected by using these
"diet" products to avoid sugar.
In SWEET'NER DEAREST, this foremost
"aspartamologist" describes aspartame disease
with a minimum of medicalese coupled with scores of
instructive case reports and many humorous cartoons.
Beatrice Trum Hunter (The Sugar
Trap & How To Avoid It) commented: "With
wit, charm and obvious medical expertise, Dr. Roberts
informs and cautions the general public through these
'bittersweet vignettes.'"
