It is particularly hazardous to fetuses and infants.
According to Dr. Russell Blaylock, a retired neurosurgeon who has written three books about the health dangers of excitotoxins (which includes aspartame), Dr. Adrian Gross, the FDA's toxicologist who examined the aspartame research initially presented to the FDA for approval by G.D. Searle, was "absolutely shocked" at the evidence showing an enormous increase in tumours, particularly brain tumours, associated with the intake of aspartame.
More recently, a study published in 2010 found that aspartame induced cancers of the liver and lung in male mice. It was also carcinogenic in male and female rats. Another study of great importance was published just last year. It's the most comprehensive and longest human study ever conducted, spanning 22 years, that has ever investigated aspartame toxicity. The study evaluated the relationship between aspartame intake and cancer, and found a clear association between aspartame consumption and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and leukaemia.
To date over 900 different independent studies have been conducted regarding the adverse side effects of aspartame intake. Every single one of them corroborated its damaging effects.
But here's the kicker..... The majority of diet soda drinkers or artificial sweetener users do so in the belief that it will help reduce that burgeoning waistline, or help control debilitating diabetes. There is a misguided conviction that substituting sugar intake with a calorie-free alternative will help with weight loss and slimming, or assist with insulin sensitivity. However, numerous studies have confirmed that the use of sugar substitutes actually has the opposite effect.
