Consumers Warned on Aspartame Side Effects

There is a growing concern regarding aspartame side effects. Just recently, Natural Health Sherpa, a prestigious natural health site that brings the latest news on health information just recently advised consumers to avoid consuming products that contain aspartame. Research studies of the Food and Drugs Authority show that 75% of the adverse effects due to food additives come from aspartame. This form of artificial sweetener is also believed to be the culprit in the development of various diseases and medical conditions like Parkinson's, brain tumors, Alzheimer's disease and cancer. Despite the dangers of aspartame side effects, it can be noted that it is a food additive that is commonly used in weight loss products. It has become a popular artificial sweetener found in sugar free products and other weight loss drinks. When used as a sweetener substitute at a safe threshold, aspartame poisoning can be avoided but there is still the danger of getting intoxicated when used beyond this safety threshold.
