Aspartame contains the following ingredients: Aspartic Acid (40%): This acid kills neural cells in the brain especially more susceptible individuals such as infants, children and the elderly. Phenylalanine (50%): This causes emotional disorders and depression because it decreases the amount of seratonin in the brain. Methanol (10%): Methanol is wood alcohol, which is a deadly poison. It can cause misty vision, headaches, ear buzzing, dizziness, nausea, and more. Infants, children, the elderly and those suffering from various weakening health conditions can have a weak blood brain barrier. These people are more susceptible to the dangers of aspartame because the ingredients can bleed through the barrier and cause serious damage to the brain. Aspartame can kill neural cells and cause diseases such as MS, Alzheimers, dementia and more.
