Overview

How safe is aspartame? Found in packets of NutraSweet(R) or Equal(R) in most restaurants, the artificial sweetener is ingested by an estimated 200 million worldwide. It is found in more than 6,000 consumables, including sodas, juices, candies, coffees, teas, pharmaceuticals, vitamins, and dairy products. Concerned about the health of family members drinking large quantities of diet soda, author Victoria Inness-Brown took a remarkable step. She raised 108 rats, giving 60 of them NutraSweet-laced water for 2 1/2 years. While the majority of her 48 controls stayed healthy, the aspartame-drinking group suffered grossly observable tumors, thinning fur, paralysis, and eye and skin disorders. Even more shocking, this addictive additive, meant to curb weight, actually caused weight gain in two of the rats! The content of Are Your Diet Sodas Killing You: Results from My Aspartame Experiment are extracted from Inness-Brown's ground-breaking book: My Aspartame Experiment: Report from a Private Citizen, where she discusses and exhibits photos from her experiment that show the synthetic sweetener to be harmful. An astonishing 20 out of 30, or 67%, of her females on aspartame developed grossly observable tumors! This provocative work contradicts everything the FDA and aspartame industry have been reporting regarding the safety of the sweetener. Power packed with personal stories from aspartame sufferers and supported by scientific research and painstaking documentation, My Aspartame Experiment: Report from a Private Citizen targets the scientific community. It provides full details about her protocol and how it compares to those of aspartame industry safety studies; a complete analysis of her rats' environment; exhaustive references; a comprehensive index; and all steps of her calculations. In comparison, Are Your Diet Sodas Killing You? Results from My Aspartame Experiment is a slimmed down, more affordable color version of Inness-Brown's report aimed at those most interested in her photographic results. If you or anyone you care about is addicted to aspartame, this book is for you. According to Inness-Brown, we are the rats of the pharmaceutical and chemical companies that liberally spread their synthetic chemicals worldwide. No one fully understands the long-term effects-especially the complex interactions from intermixing thousands of toxic chemicals within the plant and animal kingdoms sustaining our planet.
