Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Hi everyone, I realize this is a topic of debate. I'm personally not so sure that aspartame **CAUSES** MS, but aspartame poisoning does indeed mimic the symptoms of MS. I've worked with many women in perimenopause and menopause with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptoms that were virtually eliminated when all artificial sweetners were discontinued. This is an interesting PDF on the subject, for anyone interested. http://www.aspartame.ca/epidemic-s3.pdf Michelle www.holisticmenopause.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 The " experts " don't know what causes MS. I was diagnosed with 8 years ago (1997) and I've been showing symptoms since 1972, age 16. Paula .......... in Michigan I used to have super powers but my therapist took them away I realize this is a topic of debate.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 MS has been around long before aspartame ever came about. I have had ms and Fibro since I was 14 and am now 39. I have never used aspartame unless it was in something I ate and was not aware of it. Granted you can be allergic to aspartame or have a reaction to it like my 15 year old son. He broke out in big red blotches once after having diet soda at a relatives house. After a dose of benadryl it went away.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Hi Veronica, As I wrote in my post -- I realize this is a topic of debate. I'm personally not so sure that aspartame **CAUSES** MS, but aspartame poisoning does indeed mimic the symptoms of MS. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My reason for sharing this wasn't to suggest that it was aspartame that has **caused** her symptoms but rather that her symptoms COULD be aspartame poisoning and not MS at all. Just another one of many things to consider without the advantage of knowing more. I have no idea... maybe this woman has never had a diet soda in her life! Wouldn't it be wonderful though if it really were just a reaction to aspartame and nothing more?! Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
