A scientific study of the effects of aspartame on long term health, which has run over 22 years, has revealed that there is a clear association between aspartame consumption and non-hodgkins lymphoma. This was the longest ever study on aspartame consumption and despite this over ruling evidence, manufacturers continue to misleadingly describe this artificial sweetener as being safe.
Aspartame produces methanol, which although this is naturally present in fruits and vegetables, when consumed through aspartame it does not bond to pectin meaning it can not safely pass through the digestive tract. The methanol is free to break down into a toxic form of formaldehyde and formic acid. Formaldehyde will cause in the short term, headaches and nausea and in the longer term as this study has proven can be linked to cancer and other life threatening diseases.
Keep your consumption of sugary soft drinks to a very minimum or if possible none at all and substitute them with fruit, herbal teas, of fresh fruit and vegetable juices.
