My Worst Fears Came True With This One!

By Trisha From Michigan on April 26, 2006

Format: DVD Verified Purchase

I have been reading many different articles and books about Aspartame, but nothing really came close to this expose. We cannot trust our government in any way, shape or form. We are nothing but experimental animals to them. Money is the bottom line always, and the body count doesn't matter. The American Public should be very, very afraid after seeing this DVD!

Not an expert, but experienced

By Old Guy on January 9, 2011

Format: DVD Verified Purchase

I'm not a dietary scientist. I'm not a doctor. I'm not an expert. I even need a spell check to write this. But I know what I've seen and heard from close friends and relatives. A daughter-in-law was having occasional, unpredictable, and unexplained seizures. Doctors put her on all kinds of medications, but she kept having them. She also was a heavy Diet Coke drinker and imitation sweetener user because of a concerned weight problem. When someone suggested getting away from Aspartame, she gave it a try. The seizures quit and the only ones she's had in the eleven or so years since were mild ones occurring after visiting Las Vegas where Aspartame might be in some of the foods without her knowing it.

A close friend is overweight and diabetic. At a doctor's advice she went on a lose-weight effort and substituted artificial sweeteners with Aspartame. Her blood sugar readings went wild. They didn't correlate to what she ate. She felt miserable nearly all the time and some of us wondered if she was considering suicide. My wife suggested eliminating the artificial sweeteners. Her "recovery" was almost immediate and her blood sugar readings became correlated to what she was eating and has remained so for a year or more.

I didn't know that Splenda has Aspartame in it. Some years ago I started drinking Splenda sweetened drinks by Talking Rain in an effort to lose weight. I had an extremely painful kidney stone attack. The doctor asked what I had done differently. I told him I was drinking the Splenda Talking Rain drinks. He insisted that couldn't be the cause. The kidney stone resolved itself but I quit the Splenda drinks for about a year. When I resumed drinking them, I got another kidney stone attack in about two weeks time.Read more ›

Incredible!

By D. MacDonald on August 5, 2007

Format: DVD Verified Purchase

I was a big diet coke drinker until I saw this documentary! They do a very thorough job of uncovering the timeline and key people involved in the FDA's approval of aspartame... can you believe that Donald Rumsfeld was the president of the company that manufactures asparatame when it finally got FDA approval!!! Lots of political information and background. I highly recommend this!!!

Excellent DVD - definitely thought provoking...

By George Levy on March 27, 2008

Format: DVD Verified Purchase

Lately, I've been researching Aspartame as I am concerned that I am having some side effects from consumption and every day I am seeing it popping up in more and more of the products I have been regularly consuming. First it was my Diet Coke, then my minty Listerine breath strips, then my Wrigley's spearmint chewing gum and it's not even the sugar-free kind! I went to my local drugstore and I see that Aspartame is in the ingredients of all sorts of other medicinal products I didn't know it was in... Even in Children's fruit flavored chewable vitamins!

After seeing this movie, I will not eat or drink anything before carefully reading the ingredients list to make sure that Aspartame is not present. I highly recommend this DVD if you want to know more about Aspartame and how our own FDA may be failing in adequately warning us of the risks.

An engaging video

By Michael Czajka Jnr on April 20, 2007

Format: DVD Verified Purchase

It's a very interesting video which explained the facts behind aspartamine in an easy to understand manner.

I was a little disappointed it didn't go into the chemical composition very much... as that's central to understanding the problem... but if you know the hazards of methanol and formaldehyde you will appreciate the toxic effects of these substances.

A few illustrations of methanol poisoning from news reports wouldn't have gone astray... as most people aren't familiar with it's effects.

It took two viewings before it all clicked.

Despite this the message is quite clear... a problem exists with this sweetener.

This video also puts a spotlight on the political machinations that are driving organisations like the FDA.

If you've got family and friends who use aspartamine... get them to start using something safer.

This video gives you some useful facts which you can use to convince them.

:-)

A comprehensive and thoroughly damning expose of FDA complicity in marketing a known toxic substance to an unsuspecting public.

Eyes opened wide!

By Gabby on November 17, 2009

Format: DVD Verified Purchase

This book will rock your world. It opened up the workings of the FDA and how back room deals are wreaking havoc on our lifestyles and bodies. If you consume artificial sweeteners, I recommend you read this book. Even if you are not "dieting", you need to read your labels, because this stuff is EVERYWHERE. You will put those pretty little packets in the trash after you do. It has changed how I eat and shop. It gives the history of "sweet" and why we crave what our bodies in nature would reject. Read this book!

A "Must See" for anyone who cares about health!

By Johanna Alley on September 17, 2007

Format: DVD Verified Purchase

For many years now I have been telling my yoga students in the many countries I have lived about the dangers of Aspartame. But not until I saw this video did I realize just how dangerous it really is and how corrupt some government agencies and companies can be. This DVD painfully points out that Big Business is not interested in our health--it's the bottom line that counts. If you care about your fellow man, you will keep a copy of this DVD handy to show anyone you know who uses any aspartame products.
