<< Does anyone feel this theory is valid? >>

This theory is totally and fundamentally bogus and invalid - but it is based

on correct and valid observations that SOMETHING is going on with aspartame

and it does bother a lot of people.

Personally I suspect that aspartame bothers the people who have " subclinical "

heavy metal tox. But regardless it does do something nasty to a lot of

people. I doubt it is the root cause of the problem though.

Does anyone remember about 15 or so years ago when it was widely reported on

the news--not the internet--that aspartame could cause all kinds of problems

with children? I was young and in college at the time, so I didnt pay much

attention except to make a mental note to never give aspartame to any child.

It was a few years after the report that sacchrine might cause cancer.

I remember it also and have never given it to my children. A few times I have

accidentally ingested some and ended up with a headache. Kathy -Northern

formaldehyde from 11% methanol part of aspartame or from red wine

causes same toxicity (hangover) harm: Murray 2006.05.24

Dark wines and liquors, as well as aspartame, provide

similar levels of methanol, above 120 mg daily, for

long-term heavy users, 2 L daily, about 6 cans.

Within hours, methanol is inevitably largely turned into formaldehyde,

and thence largely into formic acid -- the major causes of the dreaded

symptoms of " next morning " hangover.

Fully 11% of aspartame is methanol -- 1,120 mg aspartame

in 2 L diet soda, almost six 12-oz cans, gives 123 mg

methanol (wood alcohol). If 30% of the methanol is turned

into formaldehyde, the amount of formaldehyde, 37 mg,

is 18.5 times the USA EPA limit for daily formaldehyde in

drinking water, 2.0 mg in 2 L average daily drinking water.

Any unsuspected source of methanol, which the body always quickly

and largely turns into formaldehyde and then formic acid, must be

monitored, especially for high responsibility occupations, often with

night shifts, such as pilots and nuclear reactor operators.

i was also surprised to find most gums i saw on the checkout lane had

aspartame. i never really looked for gum w/sugar tho. there should

be SOME kind of gum that's " all natural " or at least uses sugar. but

then again, when the hype is " cleans while you chew " ... i doubt you're

gonna find a gum that has sugar.

i did a quick search on gum:

~~~~~ Yeah, sure, but if they are ALSO using xylitol, sorbitol, manitol

(whatever-the-heck THAT is), why in the name of All That Is Holy would they

feel any need to add aspartame???

Knotheads.

Okay, I went to that site - I wonder if you could substitute another type of

sweetener for the sugar and corn syrup? First of all, aren't they

redundant? And secondly, if you're adding corn syrup (a liquid), couldn't

you use agave nectar? It wouldn't be calorie free, but at least it would be

low GI.

I wouldn't mind making my own gum! Wotta hoot!

Thanks!I've already resigned myself to getting my gum when I run into town, as opposed to doing the regular grocery shopping.

But seriously - WHY are the manufacturers allowed to use that junk??

And I saw several familiar brands that use xylitol. Along with sorbitol, manitol AND ASPARTAME.

Makes no sense to me, at all, at all.

Ev

Next time I'm at the co-op I'll pick up some so I can remember the name, but I know they have gum with xilitol (sp). It has been rated as actually being able to prevent cavities. It's out there, just not at your conventional store.
