Volgens onderzoekers en artsen, die de nadelige effecten bestuderen, kunnen de volgende chronische ziekten teweeggebracht of verergerd worden door het innemen van Aspartaam: hersentumoren, multiple sclerose, epilepsie, het chronische vermoeidheidssyndroom, Parkinson, Alzheimer, verstandelijke achteruitgang, lymfoom, geboortebeschadigingen, fibromyalgie en suikerziekte.
Als artsen dat zeggen laten ze zich leiden door de media en niet door het wetenschappelijk onderzoek op dit gebied.
Bij deze een quote uit een review over de risico's van aspartaam:
Nonetheless, additional research, including evaluations of possible associations between aspartame and headaches, seizures, behavior, cognition, and mood as well as allergic-type reactions and use by potentially sensitive subpopulations, has continued after approval. These findings are reviewed here. The safety testing of aspartame has gone well beyond that required to evaluate the safety of a food additive. When all the research on aspartame, including evaluations in both the premarketing and postmarketing periods, is examined as a whole, it is clear that aspartame is safe, and there are no unresolved questions regarding its safety under conditions of intended use.
Er zijn zelfs verhalen bekend van mensen die veel producten van aspartaam gebruikten, en niet meer konden lopen, toen ze stopten met het gebruik van aspartaam, ging het steeds beter en deze mensen lopen inmiddels weer. Maar goed dat zijn verhalen, ik ken deze mensen niet
Dat klopt inderdaad. Ik heb het de abstract van het onderzoek hieronder gequote:
We report for the first time an unusual musculoskeletal adverse effect of aspartame in two patients. A 50-year-old woman had been suffering from widespread pain and fatigue for more than 10 years leading to the diagnosis of fibromyalgia. During a vacation in a foreign country, she did not suffer from painful symptoms since she had forgotten to take her aspartame. All of the symptoms reappeared in the days following her return when she reintroduced aspartame into her daily diet. Thus, aspartame was definitively excluded from her diet, resulting in a complete regression of the fibromyalgia symptoms. A 43-year-old man consulted for a 3-year history of bilateral forearm, wrist, and hand and cervical pain with various unsuccessful treatments. A detailed questioning allowed to find out that he had been taking aspartame for three years. The removal of aspartame was followed by a complete regression of pain, without recurrence. We believe that these patients' chronic pain was due to the ingestion of aspartame, a potent flavouring agent, widely used in food as a calorie-saver. The benefit/ risk ratio of considering the diagnosis of aspartame-induced chronic pain is obvious: the potential benefit is to cure a disabling chronic disease, to spare numerous laboratory and imaging investigations, and to avoid potentially harmful therapies; the potential risk is to temporarily change the patient's diet. Thus, practitioners should ask patients suffering from fibromyalgia about their intake of aspartame. In some cases, this simple question might lead to the resolution of a disabling chronic disease
