The suits allege that the food companies committed fraud and breach
of warranty by marketing products with the full knowledge that
aspartame, the sweetener in them, is neurotoxic.
According to the plaintiffs, aspartame is a drug masquerading as an
additive. It interacts with other drugs and is a chemical hyper-
sensitization agent. Aspartame, it has been alleged, causes headache,
memory loss, seizures, vision loss, coma and cancer. In addition, it
worsens or mimics the symptoms of such diseases and conditions as
fibromyalgia, MS, lupus, ADD, diabetes, Alzheimer's, chronic fatigue
and depression.
Experts have been quoted as saying that aspartame liberates free
methyl alcohol. The resulting chronic methanol poisoning affects the
dopamine system of the brain causing addiction. Methanol, or wood
alcohol, constitutes one-third of the aspartame molecule and is
classified as a severe metabolic poison and narcotic. Further, the
consumption of aspartame can cause sudden death brought about by the
damage it inflicts on the cardiac conduction system.
