From Doctor Al Sears webpage:

Dear Health Concious Reader,

When you reach for a packet of NutraSweet or Splenda, you feel relieved that
you're dodging the evils of sugar. But did you know that these artificial
sweeteners make good ant poison.

I just read a story from a lady who had a problem with carpenter ants. After
spending thousands of dollars on professional exterminators and industrial
poisons, she dumped 2 packets of NutraSweet in the corners of her bathroom
and it killed the ants.1

It's perhaps less of a surprise if you know that aspartame - the active
ingredient in NutraSweet - was classified as a neurotoxin before it was
approved by the FDA as a sugar substitute in the early 1980s.

But what does that mean when you eat ice cream, candy, or a diet soda that's
sweetened with NutraSweet? Or any of the other 5,000 products that use
aspartame?

Aspartame accounts for 75% of all side effects reported to the FDA's Adverse
Reaction Monitoring System (ARMS), with 10,000 complaints in 1994 alone. By
the FDA's own admission, only 1 percent of those who experience side effects
actually report them. That makes the real number closer to one million.

The FDA is so defensive about their stance on aspartame; it took a Freedom
of Information Act request to get the full list of 92 recognized symptoms
the FDA linked to artificial sweeteners that use aspartame.

Here's just a few of the 92 reactions you may experience:

Anxiety Attacks
Arthritis
Asthma
Chronic Fatigue
Death
Diarrhea
Insomnia
Memory Loss
Nausea or Vomiting
Seizures or Convulsions
Vertigo
Weight Gain

The threat of seizures and vertigo is so strong; pilots are routinely warned
about the dangers of aspartame. Both the Air Force's magazine Flying Safety
and the Navy's Navy Physiology have published articles warning pilots of
these side effects.2

About 12 years ago, a hotline was setup for pilots suffering from acute
reactions to aspartame. In the first year alone, over 600 pilots reported
symptoms - some of whom actually suffered grand mal seizures while in the
cockpit of their airplanes.2

What's worse, most people have no idea that aspartame is causing their
symptoms. Doctors usually link the symptoms to other diseases like multiple
sclerosis, arthritis, Lyme disease, or even Alzheimer's.

A recent study published by the Cancer Research Center in Italy found that,
once inside your body, aspartame breaks down into very dangerous components.
(One of these components is formaldehyde - a very dangerous toxin you may
know as 'embalming fluid.')

A alarming number of rats fed NutraSweet died from various cancers including
leukemia. The increase in cancer rates was 62%. Aside from cancer and the
symptoms listed above, aspartame they discovered, can also lead to sudden
death.3 How does this experiment relate to the amount of aspartame you
consume?

The FDA set the Acceptable Daily Intake, (ADI) for aspartame at 50mg per
kilogram of bodyweight (mg/kg). Lawyers for the FDA said in court that the
average American averages 30mg/kg a day but often goes over the limit.

What's disturbing is that the Italian scientists noticed markedly increased
cancer rates in rats that consumed only 40% of this ADI. Rats eating only 8%
of the ADI also had increased cancer rates. This means that many Americans
are consuming more than this dose comparatively.

Russell Blaylock, MD is a well-known neurosurgeon and one of the leading
authorities on the dangers of aspartame. He said, "This study strongly
indicates that drinking a single diet cola sweetened with aspartame every
day could significantly increase one's risk of developing a lymphoma or
leukemia."4

If you suffer from any of these symptoms and consume any aspartame, stop
consuming products that have aspartame for at least 60 days. Instead of
relying on sodas, drink liquids that occur naturally:

Water - Filter purified or spring water. (This is your best bet when
you're thirsty.)
Milk - If you can find a good local source, raw is your best choice.
Tea - Real tea, green or black, with no artificial additives.

To Your Good Health,

Al Sears, MD

This is complete nonsense, spread by anti-artificial sweetener maniacs on
the web. It was NEVER an ant poison, is one of the most tested consumer
products of all time--won't hurt you. And won't kill ants! I prefer
nature's sugar, myself, but I hate these bogus stories.
