Come join Certified Holistic Health Counselor and Founder of Artemis in the City, LLC, Danielle Heard, MS, HHC in an evening of fun and discussion as we watch this outstanding documentary film on aspartame, an artificial sweetener that is also known as Equal and NutraSweet.
"Sweet Misery - A Poisoned World" is a must see for those that are unaware of the dangerous affects this chemical additive can have on your health.
This film covers such topics as filmmaker Cori Brackett's own personal experience with aspartame and its affect on her health, the chemical composition of aspartame and its affect on the body's nervous system and brain, how aspartame became approved by the FDA, testimonials of people who share their personal experience with aspartame and other important information regarding this dangerous excitotoxin.
Aspartame is really a drug that was accidentally discovered in 1965 by a chemist at G.D. Searle who was testing for an anti-ulcer drug. Aspartame consists of three components: 50% Phenylalanine, 40% aspartic acid and 10% methanol. High levels of Phenylalanine, is known to cause neurological symptoms and even brain damage. Aspartate is an excitotoxin that is known to cause neural cell damage by exciting the neural cells to death. The third component of aspartame is methanol or wood alcohol. Methanol further breaks down into formaldehyde a known carcinogen that the body cannot eliminate. There are over 92 different documented symptoms reported as reactions to aspartame which include migraines, seizures, joint pain, fatigue, and depression.
There has also been an unexplainable increase in brain cancer diagnosis which began in 1984 just six months after the approval of aspartame for carbonated soft drinks. By 1988 – 80% of consumer complaints that were volunteered to the FDA had to do with products containing aspartame.
Over 6,000 consumer products are made with aspartame. The primary reason why we consume products with aspartame is to reduce calorie intake. But we need to ask ourselves if fewer calories are worth the potential long-term mental and physical damage or even death this drug can do.
Come and learn about aspartame and how you can make better health choices, prevent disease and live the healthy life you want for yourself and for your family. This film will be shown in a large theater like setting on a large projection screen.
