Dr Mercola reviews study on Aspartame and Blood Cancers
Story at-a-glance The longest ever human aspartame study, spanning 22 years, found a clear association between aspartame consumption and non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and leukemia in men Leukemia was associated with diet soda intake in both sexes The study was done out of Harvard but after caving to pressure from industry, a press release was issued that minimized the impact of the study The long-term nature of this study is crucial as one of the primary tricks companies use to hide the toxicity of their products is short-term tests of a few weeks. The longest study prior to this one was only four and half months, far too short to reveal any toxicity from chronic exposure Another trick, especially with aspartame, is to use animal models and not humans. This is problematic because animals are protected from methanol toxicity, unlike humans Another recent study found that compared with sucrose (regular table sugar), saccharin and aspartame caused greater weight gain in adult rats, and this weight gain was unrelated to caloric intake
Remember, nobody can go back to the very beginning and make a brand new start, but anyone can start here and make a brand new end.
There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results."

Here's list of the FDA's 92 symptoms of *complaints* against asparatame aka symptoms of aspartame poisoning.
Note Weight Gain, Increased Hunger, and Death are on the list.
I am researching online a more current list, and will overwrite this post with a more current one if found. I'm trying to find out who recently filed a FOIFA, Freedom of Information Act request, within the last 5 years or so. (Since the FDA declines to voluntarily give out this info, filing a FOIFA is required.)

"What To Do If You Have Used Aspartame" By Dr. Russell Blaylock, board certified neurosurgeon www.wnho.net/wtdaspartame.htm

Excerpt: Let’s let the experts tell us if we should be concerned about aspartame and diabetes:
According to research conducted by H.J. Roberts, a diabetes specialist, a member of the ADA, and an authority on artificial sweeteners, Aspartame:
1) Leads to the precipitation of clinical diabetes.
2) Causes poorer diabetic control in diabetics on insulin or oral drugs.
3) Leads to the aggravation of diabetic complications such as retinopathy, cataracts, neuropathy and gastroparesis.
4) Causes convulsions.
In a statement concerning the use of products containing aspartame by persons with diabetes and hypoglycemia, Roberts says: "Unfortunately, many patients in my practice, and others seen in consultation, developed serious metabolic, neurological and other complications that could be specifically attributed to using Aspartame products.
This was evidenced by:
"The loss of diabetic control, the intensification of hypoglycemia, the occurrence of presumed 'insulin reactions' (including convulsions) that proved to be Aspartame reactions, and the precipitation, aggravation or simulation of diabetic complications (especially impaired vision and neuropathy) while using these products."
"Dramatic improvement of such features after avoiding Aspartame, and the prompt predictable recurrence of these problems when the patient resumed aspartame products."
Roberts goes on to say:
"I regret the failure of other physicians and the American Diabetes Association (ADA) to sound appropriate warnings to patients and consumers based on these repeated findings which have been described in my corporate-neutral studies and publications."
Dr. Roberts realized Aspartame was a poison when it was approved because his diabetic patients began going blind, being confused and their blood sugar could not be controlled. He testified before Congress and in his first press conference said that if something was not done then in 5 or 10 years we would have a global plague on our hands. Indeed, it was Dr. Roberts who declared aspartame disease to be a global epidemic and published the 1038 page medical text on it: Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic.

The Team Founder, TLESTROGEN, who we hope comes back, has provided these links, which I'm re-posting here for easier access:
www.sweetpoison.com/ Dr. Janet Hull cured herself of Aspartame poisoning after being misdiagnosed with MS, and Graves thryoid disease. She has great information including a list of side effects and detox information (PS--you don't need to purchase a detox program)

The first link below gives the big-picture overview, for those of you who didn't know much about aspartame or how it got approved, etc. We will go into depth about that later with other links, the whole Rumsfeld story, big pharma, FDA, Blaylock, Betty, etc.
Edited to add: removed link as the video has been removed from the internet.
