Aspartame: Sweet Poison

There are over 92 different health side effects associated with aspartame consumption ranging from abdominal pain to migraines, dizziness and hives.

Aspartame is a popular sugar substitute that can be found in diet soda drinks, chewing gum, fruit spreads and sugar-free products to name a few. It is also known by the brand names Sweet One, NutraSweet and Spoonful. The components of aspartame can lead to a number of health problems and the side effects can occur gradually, can be immediate, or can be acute reactions.

There is a seemingly endless list of side effects from aspartame ingestion. Adverse reactions and side effects of aspartame include:
