5 out of 5 starsSweet Poison to the rescue! , 2008-11-23
This is an amazing view of truth about our artificial chemicals in our food and why we are so sick these days. Hull uncovers the truth from hidden research and research that was played down to get approval for aspartame. It is absolutely toxic for everyone! Many will be shocked about the sickness they have had over the last few decades that can be linked to that little blue or pink packet..

5 out of 5 starsExtremely Helpful and Informative, 2008-02-06
The highly toxic sweetener known as Aspartame (pronounced 'as-PAR-tame' in Standard English) urgently needs to be banned worldwide. It's unfit for human consumption and has no business being in the food chain.

When warning of its dangers there's a risk of being perceived as some kind of zealous missionary who's hell-bent on 'proselytising' one's family and friends. You can be perceived as someone with a 'hang-up' about one particular additive. A friend of mine visited his niece's house and was offered a fizzy drink. When he started to read the ingredients on the bottle his niece remarked, "Oh no, you're going to lecture me about that sweetener that [this reviewer] is always on about!" Janet Starr Hull to the rescue! This excellent, well researched and tastefully produced book is all the ammunition you'll need. The subtitle alone sends shivers down people's spines.

The standard retort is, "well why is it 'officially approved' if it's so unsafe?". The sweeping of chimneys by 8 year-olds was once 'officially approved'. Did that make it safe? Or right? Even today, many unenlightened societies 'officially approve' workplace smoking. This exposes MILLIONS to the risks of lung cancer and ischemic heart disease. Governments who approve workplace smoking on the grounds of "civil liberties" are only buying themselves time. It's a stay of execution, no more. Some 30 years hence the next generation will marvel that we even debated such an open and shut case.

In 2008, Aspartame is probably where tobacco was in the mid-1970s. People are starting to wake up as the campaign to ban this deadly poison finally gathers momentum. Martin Luther King said "human progress never rolls in on the wheels of inevitability". Janet Starr Hull is a champion and a heroine. If Amazon allowed it, I'd have given Sweet Poison SIX stars out of five!

5 out of 5 starsIt's really true!, 2007-03-16
I changed over to diet Coke and diet Dr. Pepper about a year ago to try and loose weight.

At first I continued to loose weight and all was well...

But then my weight loss stopped, and I started having a hard time concentrating. I thought I was just getting older when I started having trouble seeing at night. Then I noticed I started dropping things and bumping into walls etc. And I started having headaches.

I didn't think it could have anything to do with the aspartame in the soft drinks I was consuming even though I was up to about two liters of soda a day.

Then I talked with our Pastors wife who had almost died from aspartame poisioning and she said you need to stop right away.

I felt really bad the first two days of not drinking or consuming any aspartame products. Plus I wasn't consuming any cafeeine either. I was going to bed and sleeping for 16 hours.

But in the next three days I started feeling clearer headed and just better all around. My night vision is coming back every day and I no longer drop things.

5 out of 5 starsMust Read Book!, 2007-03-08
Everyone should read this book and understand the dangers of aspertame. It is far worse than people realize. I have stopped using any foods or drinks with it in, and I know I feel better, and have less headaches. A book for everyone!

5 out of 5 starsVery helpful, worth the read., 2006-08-02
I was having thryoid problems after my second daughter was born. I was drinking Diet Dr. Pepper for an energy boost every day. This book caught my attention because of the author's thryoid disfunction. I read the book and stopped using aspartame.

My hair is no longer falling out, and my engergy and thryoid levels are back to normal.

My 3 year old daughter is epileptic, and several months before reading this book her seizures took a sudden turn for the worst. She started having 15-30 seizures a day, and even had 2 grand mal seizures. I was terrified by the increase in seizure activity and wondered what had caused the change.

Reading about how aspartame can cause seizures/grand mal seizures, I checked the vitamins I was giving my daughter.

Because it was fall, and I wanted her to be healthy during cold and flu season,I had started giving her several fruit flavored vitamin c chewables and 1 chewable multi vitamin. Checking the labels I discovered they all had aspartame as an ingredient.

It was hardly coincidence when I realized the increase in seizures was around the same time I started these vitamins. I threw out both bottles. It has been 6 months and my daughter has not had another grand mal seizure, and her seizures dropped from 15-30 a day down to 0-3 on a typical day. I was also able to drop 2 of her 3 seizure medications.

Aspartame is very dangerous, I had no idea.
