Publisher's Note "An important & timely expose by The expert." Aspartame has become the most popular low-calorie sweetener since its controversial approval in 1981, with particular reference to brain tumors. The 4,200 products containing this "most tested additive in history," especially "diet" sodas, are being consumed by 200 million persons. Although "Aspartame Disease" is widespread, it remains cloaked in pathetic secrecy, or ridiculed by physicians & corporate interests. 80 percent (!) of complaints about food & additives received by the FDA involve aspartame products (FDA Consumer, October 1988). They include severe headaches, confusion, memory loss, depression, convulsions, dizziness, insomnia, impaired vision, nausea, diarrhea, rashes, hypoglycemia ("low blood sugar"), loss of diabetes control, & even weight gain. Many regard H.J. Roberts, M.D. as the foremost "aspartamologist" because of his extensive pioneering studies in this field & international reputation as a clinician & researcher. His clear summary of this perceived major public health threat is coupled with many informative encounters & profound warnings for all consumers, parents & health professionals.
