People aren't healthy because they don't eat healthy but sadly, eating healthy is illegal.

Read Moody Bitches: The Truth About the Drugs You're Taking, The Sleep You're Missing, The Sex You're Not Having, and What's Really Making You Crazy by Julie Holland

"As women, we learn from an early age that our moods are a problem. Bitches are moody. To succeed in life, we are told, we must have it all under control. We have to tamp down our inherent shifts in favor of a more static way of being. But our bodies are wiser than we imagine. Moods are not an annoyance to be stuffed away. They are a finely-tuned feedback system that, if heeded, can tell us how best to manage our lives. Our changing moods let us know when our bodies are primed to tackle different challenges and when we should be alert to developing problems. They help us select the right tool for each of our many jobs. If we deny our emotionality, we deny the breadth of our talents. With the right care of our inherently dynamic bodies, we can master our moods to avail ourselves of this great natural strength.
 
Yet millions of American women are medicating away their emotions because our culture says that moodiness is a problem to be fixed. One in four of us takes a psychiatric drug. If you add sleeping pills to the mix, the statistics become considerably higher. Over-prescribed medications can have devastating consequences for women in many areas of our lives: sex, relationships, sleep, eating, focus, balance, and aging.  And even if we don’t pop a pill, women everywhere are numbing their emotions with food, alcohol, and a host of addictive behaviors that deny the wisdom of our bodies and keep us from addressing the real issues that we face.

Dr. Julie Holland knows there is a better way. She’s been sharing her frank and funny wisdom with her patients for years, and in Moody Bitches Dr. Holland offers readers a guide to our bodies and our moodiness that includes insider information about the pros and cons of the drugs we’re being offered, the direct link between food and mood, an honest discussion about sex, practical exercise and sleep strategies, as well as some surprising and highly effective natural therapies that can help us press the reset button on our own bodies and minds.

In the tradition of Our Bodies, Our Selves, this groundbreaking guide for women of all ages will forge a much needed new path in women’s health—and offer women invaluable information on how to live better, and be more balanced, at every stage of life."

Feeling Intense Emotions Doesn’t Make You Crazy — But That’s Not What Big Pharma Wants You to Think byby Allegra Kirkland

"In 2014, a great deal of ink was spilled about the need to stop calling women crazy. Though dismissing women as emotional and irrational is hardly a new phenomenon, a Washington Post op-ed by dating coach Harris O’Malley provided the fodder for a thousand blog posts on the subject. As O’Malley writes, “It’s a form of gaslighting — telling women that their feelings are just wrong, that they don’t have the right to feel the way they do.”

Snippet of interview with Julie Holland

AK: There’s a long history of women being medicated and even institutionalized for invented illnesses like hysteria and frigidity. Do you see the high rates of psychiatric drug prescriptions for women as part of that historical continuum or is this something new?
JH: What I’m starting to see more and more are these ads. There are great websites for ads from the ‘50s and ‘60s, not just targeting women. Remember at that time Big Pharma could only advertise to doctors. So they’re advertising to doctors basically saying, If this patient is calling you too much and bugging you, here’s a medicine that will get her to stop.
The ads now feature everyday women with everyday problems. First of all, there was 9/11, and there’s no question that led to an increase in money spent on advertising, targeting women who were scared, who are having a normal response to an unnatural event. The ads were completely targeting them. There was one that just read, “Millions can be helped by Paxil.”

Children’s Tylenol maker to plead guilty for knowingly selling tainted drugs from RT

"ohnson & Johnson subsidiary McNeil Consumer Healthcare ‒ which makes Infants' and Children's Tylenol and Children's Motrin ‒ agreed to pay $25 million to resolve the case, the Associated Press reported, citing court documents. The deal came at a plea hearing Tuesday afternoon.

"The proposed criminal resolution is sufficient to punish McNeil for its past failures and to deter McNeil from violating" federal law in the future, prosecutors wrote in a memo to the judge overseeing the case.

Are Your Medications Safe? @ Slate

"It’s not just one study, either. The FDA found major problems with sites involved in the other three clinical trials that were used to demonstrate rivaroxaban’s safety and effectiveness. RECORD 2, for example, was nearly as awful as RECORD 4: Four out of 10 sites that the FDA inspected showed evidence of misconduct, or other issues grave enough to render the site’s data worthless—including clear evidence of data falsification at one site. In aggregate, these problems raise serious doubts about the quality of all four key rivaroxaban studies—and, by extension, doubts about how seriously we should take the claim that rivaroxaban is safe and effective. The FDA is keeping mum, even as wrongful-death lawsuits begin to multiply."

The Big Fix: How The Pharmaceutical Industry Rips Off American Consumers (Publicaffairs Reports) by Katharine Greider

"As the pharmaceutical industry invests more and more in the development of new drugs, true breakthroughs are few and far between. Into the breach comes a panoply of product-line extensions and me-too drugs aimed at grabbing market share. The industry plows its high profits back into research, but invests an equal or greater sum in flogging its products in every imaginable venue. Research studies are designed to support marketing claims. Many doctors all over the country get their first information about new drugs from a salesperson. And, increasingly, prescription drugs are pitched to consumers on TV and the internet with images of hope, terror, or chic. Evidence-based practice guidelines, which endeavor to get the right medicines to those who will benefit most, can't be heard over the din.

Having created an unprecedented number of "megabrands"—blockbuster drugs with huge sales—and undergone an extraordinary wave of consolidation, some drug companies now find themselves in a precarious position. Patents are expiring on flagship products. In order to sustain the growth Wall Street has come to expect, these companies must produce billions of dollars worth of new revenue—fast. But can Americans continue to bankroll Operation Grow Big Pharma? Must we swallow the bad with the good?"

Big Bucks, Big Pharma: Marketing Disease & Pushing Drugs

Who is Susan Powter? /Stop The Insanity...

Notes: Working out for health is not the same as working out for weight loss. Everyone should work out regardless of body type or size.  Exercising limits a sedentary lifestyle and promotes happiness and is a great stress reliever.

Healthy eating is not the same as eating for weight loss. It’s all about calories vs how much you burn. This is promoting healthy eating. Everyone should eat healthy,organic,homemade food as opposed to processed junk that is passed off as “food.”

"Susan Powter (born 22 December 1957) is an Australian-born motivational speaker, nutritionist, personal trainer and author, who rose to fame in the 1990s with her catchphrase "Stop the Insanity!", which was the centerpiece of her weight loss infomercial. Photos of an overweight female served as a backdrop to her stage presentation, and while they appeared to represent Powter in earlier years, they were generally considered somewhat unrecognizable as Powter, leading to accusations of fraud.

She hosted her own talk show The Susan Powter Show in the 1990s.Powter is author of several books, three of which became New York Times best-sellers in the 1990s. In 2002, she returned to writing with The Politics of Stupid, a stream-of-consciousness, self-published manifesto encouraging women to take control of their brains and bodies from food manufacturers, corrupt governments, and fitness/diet industries.

Powter's website reported that she would host a radio show beginning in May 2006 and a cooking show entitled Taste My Broth within the year. She also puts out The Monthly Flow, a subscription-based multi-media e-zine.

In November 2007, Powter re-launched her fitness and wellness blog."

Smoking Weed with The President by Prince Ea

"[Verse 1: Prince EA](Obama impersonator)

Mr. President, I come to you on behalf of my generation

To talk to you about this little plant situation

See, a lot of politicians hate it

But I'mma break it down and demonstrate to you

Why it's not as bad as they make it sound

See, you're the president that I believe can handle this

Heck, ya campaign slogan was ''Yes, we cannabis''

Just kidding, but seriously

Let's examine this subject truthfully, dawg

Look, so you taught constitutional law at Harvard, right, in 96?

Well, you should know the Declaration of Independence was drafted outta hemp

So were the sails that pushed our ships on the path to the colonies

So was the fuel used for Henry Ford's model T

So in a sense, you could say that pot has actually driven American history

(Please, it makes you lazy and underachieve)

But how can that be

When some of the most successful people smoked weed?

From Walt Disney to Milton Fried(man)

From Stephen King to Steve Jobs

The apple didn't fall far from the tree

You get it?

Steve Jobs, apple, trees

Jobs created the Apple computer high off weed

See, people believe that this plant is sinful

But let's go back in time and find out exactly where these beliefs came from

Cause before the 1930's, you could blaze up

But after the 1930's, things changed up

Cause that's man President Hoover commissioned a man named Harry J. Anslinger

As head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics

His middle name's ironic

Cause he was the main guy attempting to demonize marijuana

Ummm, I mean cannabis sativa

See, the name ''marijuana'', he created as propaganda

For the people to make it sound more dirty

And a little more evil

Figured if he scared the public enough they would want it illegal

He teamed up with newspapers, who had their own motivations

(Like what?)

Google decorticator

The newspapers printed fake stories

About how every puff destroys your brain

Making you crazy insane, prone to murder and rape

The used race and then said again

That weed makes white women get pregnant

By Negroes and immigrant Mexicans

And based off of no research and investigation

Congress rubber stamped that legislation

And then poof, there was a law around it

So we accepted it and never thought about it

But, let's get smart about it

Lies and greed are the real reasons that it's illegal

And the reason you got that look on your face

When I talk about it

[Hook]

Smoking weed with the president, with the pres

Smoking weed with the president, with the pres

Smooking weed, smoke smoke smoking weed with the president

Getting high, getting higher than I ever been

Smoking weed with the president, with the pres

Smoking weed with the president, with the pres

Smooking weed, smoke smoke smoking weed with the president

Getting high, getting higher than the deficit

[Verse 2]

(Mr. EA, marijuana's illegal for public health reasons

We don't want the American people

Breathing that stuff in and smoking it

Ain't nothing wrong with a little game day buzz

But marijuana is a dangerous, useless gateway drug

And you want me to legalize?

So the kids can get it easier? Ha ha

Well, what can I say

Either that's something to laugh at

Or bro, you're more of a jackass than Kanye)

A jackass? Ok, how about we talk about this rationally

Every 6 seconds a person dies from tobacco

And every 13 from alcohol

Guess how many died in the last ten thousand years from weed?

None at all

That's zip zero nada, no chance to overdose

Not one case in history, and no, I am not blowing smoke

Don't be a coward, just regulate and control it

Take the power from the drug dealers who contaminate, sell it and own it

See, they love the laws the way they are because they make millions

When drug lords support your laws, it's time to amend them

As for the kids, yeah, I'd agree except

It's easier for kids to buy weed today than to buy beer or cigarettes

Is that surprising?

Think about it, Sir, how many drug dealers you know ask to see ID?

And stop saying it's a gateway drug

Something so strong that you can't break away from

Big homie listen, quit being a politician

Studies show it's non addictive

And gateway theory is a lot of fiction

A contradiction, and you can quote me for it

You said marijuana was a ''useless'' drug?

Hold up a moment

Medical tests and evidence show it's proven to treat

Glaucoma, cancer, asthma, multiple sclerosis

It could do so much if it was legal

But if it was legal a lot of pharmaceutical drugs wouldn't be needed

I did my research and it seems that

(What? So what did you find out?)

Big pharma gave you a millions of dollars

So if weed became legal they would lose a lot of profit

And you would lose funding

So tell me Mr. Presidential

Is it really public health or is it special interest?

Are you worried about the kids, or the private businesses?

Only a few years back, you was against lobbying and corporate robbery

You campaigned for ''change'', well dammit, now demonstrate it in policy

Cause if you really wanna stimulate the economy

And mitigate the problems that emanate from poverty

It's time to legalize this billion dollar commodity

Harvard professor Jeffrey Myron estimated

9 billion dollars generated in taxes from regulation

Plus another 11 will be saved from law enforcement resources and incarcerations

That's 20 billion total every year

You saying this country don't need that kind of paper?

Put it towards environment, invest in education

Infrastructure in conjunction with job creation

Or maybe a combination, just stop laughing at this situation

And give it serious consideration

It ain't a joke, ain't nothing funny

The country's broke and its people need money

It's simple economics

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

You did it, Bush did it

Clinton did it, Lincoln did it

And now you throw people in prison for this crime that ''we'' committed?

Mr. President, if it's such a sin

Then why don't you and the men I just named turn yourselves in?

I beg your pardon

See, I don't wanna hear that circular logic, we ain't in that oval office

Let's be honest

If you got caught with marijuana the day you smoked there wouldn't even be an Obama

No Barack at that prestigious college of Harvard

Getting his speeches polished with honors

Cause today, you can't get a student loan if caught with one weed cigarette

But you can have a rape conviction on your record and still get a check

From the government, yo, what the fuck is this?

Do you not see injustice when

It's people suffering sick dying of cancer

Who's only relief is a plant proven to ease pain

But, that will mean handcuffs

That will mean being called a criminal

That will mean thrown behind bars

Pitiful, Mr. President this ain't political

It's commonsensical

Millions in prison for something that's never killed a single individual

But you make deals with prescription drug advocates

When just last year more Americans died from prescriptions in they cabinets

Than heroin, terrorism, murder and traffic accidents combined

Mr.President, open your eyes

And see the blood on the wall

These companies wouldn't care if the country was coming apart

They sharks, they only care about how much it'll cost

Ain't been a disease cured in 60 years

Why? Cause a patient cured is a customer lost

Well, I say enough is enough

It's time for us to fix this

It's time to get away from the pharmaceutical interests

Forget about the stigma

Forget the opinions of politicians

Cause collective ignorance don't mean wisdom

Forget about pandering to the system

Cause when the system's wrong, Sir, it's your duty to go against it

I urge you to re-read that 9th amendment

And have courage and conviction and remember your commitment

To the people, cause what if it was Malia?

What if she needed a drug that was illegal to survive

Would things change? Would they be a little different?

Would policy remain, put yourself in that position

And no, I'm not wishing that on you, just illustrating

The consequences of this little plant situation

Cause a lot of politicians hate it

But I just broke it down, it's up to you to step up, Sir

The time is now

I say the time is now

I hope you step up, Sir

The time is now"

'My gastric bypass ruined my life - now I can only eat ice cubes'

If you can decide to get the gastric band or bypass, just decide to lose the weight. Or, exercise more and eat organic foods (homemade kale chips are delicious) . If you can't eat less, eat healthy! yes, it IS that easy. Knock-off Doritos can be made at home,, knock off Twix can be made at home using organic ingredients. If anything, they taste better than the real thing.

 Get hypnotized, or even the HGC diet because you can stop it at any time you feel sick or uncomfortable.'

"Miss Wall said: 'My GP said he was really worried - that I would need to start losing weight as a matter of urgency.
He referred me to a consultant who recommended that I have a gastric bypass through NHS funding.
'I knew it was a drastic step, but I'd tried every diet under the sun without any success, so the idea of being able to make a lasting change was very appealing.

'I thought of myself running around in the park with the children, and was drawn to the idea.'
Miss Wall asked advice from her mother Muriel and her partner Marley, 40, a painter and decorator.
She said: 'My mum warned me to have a serious think about. She said she would prefer it if I didn't go through with it, because she knew it was a major operation which carried major risks.
'Marley was unsure too. He'd met and fallen in love with me when I was at my biggest, and was happy with the way I was. He said all he cared about was whether I was happy, so if I really wanted to do it, he would support me.'

After weighing up her options, Miss Wall went under the knife in April 2008. Within two months she had lost 3st.
She said: 'I could barely eat any food. Whatever I did manage to swallow made my stomach turn. I felt sick all the time.'
In the summer of 2010 Miss Wall discovered that she was pregnant with her third child.
She said: 'Carrying a child having been through the operation was a huge challenge. Marley and I were ecstatic but it was a really tough pregnancy and I was sick morning, noon and night.
'Instead of being full of life I was tired all the time. I tried my best to carry on but it was extremely tough.'

Following the birth of Theo in April 2011, Miss Wall calculated that she had lost a huge 10st - and the weight loss showed no signs of slowing.
As she settled into her new figure, Miss Wall began to struggle with the permanent effects of the surgery.
She said: 'All I could manage was the tiniest portions at dinner time.
Marley was concerned - he thought there was no way I could eat as little as I was and still be healthy.
'There were times when all I could manage was sucking on a ice-cube because I felt so unnaturally full.
'My energy dipped to practically zero and simple pleasures, like spending time alone with Marley and chasing around after the children, became a huge chore.'I used to love having hot baths, but I had shrunk so much that lying in the bath became too uncomfortable as the enamel pressed against my spine. Sitting on hard seats was excruciating.'
Now weighing just over 8st and having shrunk from size 24 to a tiny size 6, Miss Wall has found that she struggles to buy clothes which properly fit her.
She said: 'I buy a few bags of ice cubes and eat a pint of them throughout the day. It's the best compromise I can find to keep my mind off food, since most food makes me feel extremely nauseous.
'I can't go out for meals with Marley any more and worst of all, my dream of being active with the children seems further away than ever.'
Doctors are currently reviewing Miss Wall's situation and she is hopeful that she will one day find a solution to allow her to each proper meals again.
She said: 'It's important that people realise that gastric operations come with significant risk. My life has changed out of all recognition.
'I completely regret having the gastric bypass. I wish I'd never done it. It's just such a shame that I had to get to this point to realise that I was happier when I was overweight.' "

Making a Killing: The Untold Story of Psychotropic Drugging - Full Movie (Documentary)

CCHR: The Psycho/Pharmaceutical Industry with Shane Ellison

My gastric bypass ruined my life - now I can only eat ice cubes'

• "    Kim turned to food as a comfort after losing a baby when she was 18
•     After the birth of her three children, her weight reached its highest of 24st
•     Was warned by doctors her size was a danger to her health
•     Having tried many diets, decided to take the NHS gastric bypass on offer
•     Kim's surgery saw her drop from size 24 and 24st to 8st and a size 6
•     However has left her barely able to eat anything and with no energy
•     Wants other women to think carefully before going under the knife

A mother-of-three says losing a massive 16st in weight has ruined her life.

Kim Wall, 40, suffered crippling pain, nausea, fatigue and low self-confidence after undergoing a gastric bypass operation.

She is now warning other women who are considering undergoing bariatric surgery to think carefully before committing to life-changing procedures.

Miss Wall, of Rochdale, said: 'I had the surgery because I dreamed of being more energetic for my children, but it didn't work out that way at all.

'I've gone from being too fat to move to being weak and undernourished. I thought the operation would give me the life I'd dreamed of - but it turns out I couldn't have been more wrong.'
Miss Wall, a former hairdresser who has three children, Jack, 16, Tia, six and Theo, three, reached 24st after she turned to food for an emotional crutch after she lost a baby when she was 18 years old.

She said: 'I turned to comfort eating and it got the point where I didn't know how to say no.

'Having my first two children and experiencing the weight gain and cravings just made the situation worse. I could eat a multi-pack of crisps without even thinking about it.'
By her late thirties, Miss Wall was officially classed as clinically obese and was starting to experience mounting health problems.

She said: 'The children had loads of energy, but I struggled even to get out of a seat. Even the gentlest movement would leave me gasping for breath.

'I wasn't unhappy with my build, but I was devastated every time I couldn't join in with an activity the kids were doing. I felt guilty to see their disappointment.'


At an appointment in the spring of 2008, her doctor made it clear that unless she changed to her lifestyle, she would become seriously ill.

Miss Wall said: 'My GP said he was really worried - that I would need to start losing weight as a matter of urgency.

He referred me to a consultant who recommended that I have a gastric bypass through NHS funding.

'I knew it was a drastic step, but I'd tried every diet under the sun without any success, so the idea of being able to make a lasting change was very appealing.

Empowering your health: Beyond Monsanto, Rockefeller and the AMA

"When your doctor tells you your prescription is approved by the American Medical Association (AMA), it’s intended to give you confidence. But what it really means is that the drug or procedure is endorsed and funded by the same corporations that endorse and fund Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and other products that are harmful to your health. In fact, the AMA is in part financed by Pfizer, which owns Monsanto, the company that manufactured controversial and proven-to-be-dangerous products such as the insecticide DDT, PCBs, Agent Orange, and recombinant bovine somatotropin (a.k.a. bovine growth hormone) and is now the largest manufacturer of genetically modified seeds and the herbicide glyphosate, which GMO’s require. This is only one of the insidious connections between the AMA and corporations that cause, and prosper from, your ill health.

Here’s how it works:

Founded in 1847, the American Medical Association is the largest association of physicians and medical students in the United States. Its stated mission includes “…lobbying for legislation favorable to physicians and patients, and to raise money for medical education.”

The AMA spends big money on lobbying. One of the AMA’s top lobbying firms, the McManus Group, also lobbies for PhRMA, Eli Lilly & Co, Merck and Pfizer. According to OpenSecrets.org, the American Medical Association comes in second in overall money spent on lobbying in the last 10 years with over $264 million. The health industry as a whole trumps all other industries including energy and finance in lobbying expenditure.

The AMA looks to legitimize its agenda through its Journal of the American Medical Association, JAMA, which is the most widely circulated medical journal in the world. JAMA receives major funding through its advertisers, many of which are pharmaceuticals. In addition, the American Medical Association has been accepting money from the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations from as early as 1910. In World Without Cancer, G. Edward Griffin makes the argument that the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations began to support the AMA in an effort to control the medical schooling establishment and to gain power over this “large and vital sphere of American life.”
We are whole and integrated beings and therefore require whole-system, integrated health care solutions.

•     Get educated and take responsibility for your own health.
•     Ask your own health care providers to disclose the source of their information regarding their prescription choices and knowledge updates, if they know who funds the research they are relying on, and ask if they have any interactions with drug companies whose products they prescribe.
•     Create small community-based health clinics, including home visits for individual patients as well as health education and promotion for whole communities.
•     Encourage more whole-system education throughout all schools.
•     Make Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) part of mainstream curriculum — not as something to be learned in addition to medical training, but rather as a valid body of knowledge to be integrated at all levels.
•     Create a campaign to make integrative medicine a mandatory part of curriculum in U.S. medical schools through the American Commission for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the Liaison Committee for Medical Education (LCME).
•     Join a campaign to protect alternative health practices.
•     Support naturopathic medical colleges in the U.S. with enrollment and funding.
•     Lobby to make alternative therapies accessible to everyone. Currently most alternative therapies in the U.S. are not covered by health insurance and alternative treatments are rarely accessed by low-income individuals. Fabulous work on this is being done by Dean Ornish. Follow and support his work.
•     Educate yourself and bring awareness of new energy technologies and health devices based on Rife and other current inventors work out into the open. If you have financial resources, help support their development and dissemination.

As people are waking up, Monsanto has been removed and banned by Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, Madeira, New Zealand, Peru, South Australia, Russia, France, and Switzerland. Monsanto is currently the target of effective resistance in the US as well. This same organizing can happen with pharmaceuticals, as we gain an understanding of the connection between them and the agribusiness companies and the medical establishment.

Next time someone says “It’s approved by the AMA”, ask them if they understand what that really means, and share this information."

How sweet it is: Monsanto sells their aspartame business to Pfizer

"In 1985 Monsanto purchased G.D. Searle, the chemical company that held the patent to aspartame, the active ingredient in NutraSweet. Monsanto knew of aspartame's past, including a 1980 FDA Board of Inquiry, comprised of three independent scientists, which confirmed that it "might induce brain tumors."

The FDA banned aspartame based on the findings, only to have Donald Rumsfeld (13th Secretary of Defense from 1975-1977) the Chairman of G.D. Searle (1976) vow to "call in his markers," to get it approved.

On January 21, 1981, the day after Ronald Reagan's inauguration, Searle re-applied to the FDA for approval to use aspartame in food sweetener, and Reagan's new FDA commissioner, Arthur Hayes Hull, Jr., appointed a 5-person Scientific Commission to review the board of inquiry's decision.

One common complaint of persons suffering from the effect of aspartame is memory loss.

It soon became clear that the panel would uphold the ban by a 3-2 decision, but Hull then installed a sixth member on the commission, and the vote became deadlocked. He then personally broke the tie in aspartame's favor. Hull later left the FDA under allegations of impropriety, served briefly as Provost at New York Medical College, and then took a position with Burston-Marsteller, the chief public relations firm for both Monsanto and GD Searle.

Aspartame is the technical name for the brand names NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure, made up of three chemicals: aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol.

Aspartame accounts for over 75 percent of the adverse reactions to food additives including seizures and death. Just like fluoridated water, aspartame is literally a poison and is present in almost all our processed foods.

The deadly artificial sweetener NutraSweet is produced by feeding fossil fuel oil to ecoli that are genetically modified to defecate aspartame as feces.

According to researchers and physicians studying the adverse effects of aspartame, chronic illnesses can be triggered or worsened by ingesting aspartame: Brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, mental retardation, lymphoma, birth defects, fibromyalgia, and diabetes.
The risk to infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly and persons with certain chronic health problems from excito-toxins are great.

Ninety-two other dangerous side effects come from a commonly used artificial sweetener with a very sordid history of poor research, cover-ups and the usual 'money means more than people' mentality by US manufacturers.

That still hasn’t stopped this toxic poison from being allowed to invade the thousands of different foods and beverages we buy and eat and serve our families every day. "
