Is there an online source where this can be verified? Carol Ann ======================== ********Carol Ann......Five years ago, I drank a " regular " Dr Pepper at a picnic, as I had run out of my lemon water. Within 5 hours my shoulders were frozen, hands swollen, red and frozen, horrific headache, sweating in air conditioned house. I identified these side effects, as in 1981 I lost part of a lung, was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia ALL from my addiction to diet cokes/diet dr pepper. I called the friend, whose house I drank the dr pepper, to see if she still had the liter bottle. She assured me it was there and I went to pick it up. I then began calling Coke, as they are a distributor for Dr Pepper.....after 3 days of telephone calls I was able to speak to a chemist and she told me, that yes it had some aspartame in it, BUT it was less than 2%. I ask why it wasn't on the label and she told me they didn't have to put it on the label as long as it was less than 2%. Of course, I gave her a piece of my mind and hung up. Then right after that, I had the same reaction from eating Safeway " Select " yogurt. I immediately began calling ONLY to find out that the Yogurt Association had gotten approval to NOT label their packages, IF it was less than 2%.....Again, I had a " come to Jesus " conversation with her and hung up. Needless to say, I don't shop at Safeway anymore. *****I feel in one way I am blessed, as these DWEEBS are going to continue to put this DEADLY TOXIN in our foods and not label, that I react so violently to. Even though I read labels, I DO NOT TRUST THE LABELs, so I eat just a wee bit to see if I am going to react. Actually my sensitive taste buds can usually pick up on it the first taste. BTW, they hid it in corn syrup, artificial flavors and colors, and there are many more things they hide it in. *****People might think this is cruel to say, but quiet frankly I don't give a rats patooty if you believe it or not!!! I think you should buy all the toxic foods and drinks and drink to your hearts content. <BIG GRIN> Just don't come back complaining when you get sick. Oh yea, please run to the allopathic communities and find a doctor that agrees with you, so that they can prescribe MORE toxic drugs. Just please DON'T GO ON MEDICAID to help pay for your mistakes, as I feel those of us who suffer from these DEADLY TOXINS have suffered enough and should not be penalized with our taxes being raise to pay for your medical care. I'm tired of trying to bring awareness to folks about how deadly this toxin is...... :::::::::::::UpLOADING a truck full of diet products for you:::::::::::oh here, I forgot here's a case of chewing gum::::::::::: ******If you care to learn more, you can join an aspartame survivor list at::::::::: _WNHO-Aspartame-Information- _ (WNHO-Aspartame-Information- ) I have shared my response with the Executive Director/Founder of MISSION POSSIBLE INTERNATIONAL, an organization who has been helping to get rid of diet products for 20 years at HER OWN EXPENSE. NOW PLEASE SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR DR BOWEN......he knows as he became disabled from drinking diet Kool-Aid...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
