Review
This book qualifies as "must" reading for every consumer, parent, and health-nutrition professional. The discussions of "fear of fat" among children and young women, misleading advertising, and the current flood of new foods and additives that were insufficiently tested on humans (as was the case with aspartame) illustrate its enormous scope. Other serious issues raised by Dr.Roberts must be addressed. For example, is the massive consumption of aspartame-sweetened products contributing to the dramatic rise of migraine, depression, and even Alzheimer's disease and brain tumors? -- Senior Life (May 1995)
From the Publisher
Many regard H.J. Roberts, M.D. as the foremost "aspartamologist" because of his extensive pioneering studies and publications in this field. Numerous letters of appreciation from persons afflicted with Aspartame Disease pleaded for more information. He now honors these pleas with an updated clear overview of the problem, coupled with scores of instructive vignettes and humorous cartoons. There is a minimum of medical and technical terms. As a bonus, Dr. Roberts' familiarity with history, politics and literature, as well as his expertise in medicine, science and nutrition, can make Sweet'ner Dearest a unique adventure in reading.
