With the mass worship of thin and fit bodies (quite often impossible to attain) the craze for “fat free” and “diet” products have never been so desirable. Even toothpaste claims to be sugar free along with every other kind of food you can buy.

What is now quite horrifying is that these diet products often claim to be – and are accepted – as a “healthy” way to live – sweet without sugar.

Aspartame (Nutrasweet) is the chemical that has allowed every food and beverage manufacturer to make this claim, (and most people believe that if the FDA allows it, it can’t possibly be harmful, especially if it is plastered all over the package.)

Well, the bad news is out, and there is no surprise that the media is not covering the story, after all, the advertisers are paying their bills – you should never bite the hand that feeds you!

The truth is making itself heard nonetheless, and according to Dr. Eric Herman from “Liberty Chiropractic and Holistic Medicine”,  and www.sweetpoison.com, the following symptoms may occur from aspartame poisoning:

blindness in one or both eyes
