Yes, the last test in 2005 was on rats and the FDA still confirm that you could get cancer from the stuff, but there was nothing about getting poisoned, etc... I did find and watched a TV program actually on Aspartame a couple days ago and apperently aspartame was tested by human in China and other countries and at lest 7000 complaints came back with many side effects and poisoning. I also learned that even after the test in 2005... in 2006 someone had died from aspartame poisoning. So with all that evidence, I should probably not listen to the FDA.

I also might add that I had a 500ml coke yesterday along with a few packs of gum and within a matter of minutes, I started to feel pains in my system and I had extreme trouble breathing, in fact I almost stopped breathing. I had to run outside of the school to get air. This breathing trouble... Could this be caused at all from when I had gum and coke together?


and as a side question... since it was almost 200 sticks of gum in 2 and a half days... should I go to hospital and have that checked out? A few people said it would be a good idea because I had breahting issues....

and not that I want to but... I am currently living with a violent person and with this whole aspartame issue... I've been gaining nothing but extreme depression and it's been scaring me lately because I've been getting horrible thoughts. What should I do about this?

When you say 'Don't doubt this' does it mean that I may have a possible minor poisoning or you don't think I do?

And I don't have diet drinks, they're gross but the coke I did have was a real coke, with caffeine (non-diet) and I got a reaction from that when it mixed with 200 sticks of gums worth of aspartame in my system right away.

Even today... my head was really numb, I had extreme dizziness to the point where I could not walk for a few hours at all, my head was numb and my eye sight decreased a little by blurring and my left eye hurt badly to.

SorkStar - I am saying that you are reacting to aspartame, no matter where it is coming from, and a minor source, such as gum, means little when it contains a toxic chemical. That said, sugar-free gum with aspartame and the other diet chemicals is more toxic than you think. Digestion begins in the mouth because enzymes  within your saliva begin breaking down what you are chewing in the mouth. So, you are breaking the aspartame in the gum down as you chew and swallow. For the length of time that you are chewing your gum, you are poisoning yourself swallow by swallow. So, you are getting a very chronic hit of toxic gum chewing. And you chew a lot of it.

Gnarlodious is right; you have hit a saturation level, and until you stop adding more toxins to your already present toxic level, you are simply adding fuel to the fire inside of your body. No wonder you are reacting more and more as time goes on. You need to stop all the diet stuff, detox, and restore the nutrients these chemicals are robbing from your body.

I relize now that Aspartame poisoning is more serious than I thought it was and reason I say this....

Well, I'm not going to lie. Last Monday I think I had far too much Aspartame in my system and the reason I say this is because I had a pack or 2 more of the gum in 1 night simply because I was upset and just wanted something to do, to take my mind off of it. Before I go further, I want to point out that I've had some depression for the past couple months simply do to minor issues but when I was having all this aspartame, the depression doubled.

I can't really remember much that happen on Monday but talking with some friends online, they became concerned when they learned that I never stopped the aspartame, after the drug store told me to. As a result... that night I got really upset over a situation that occur'd and I heavily broke down and I didn't know what I was doing. Online, apperently the way I talked to these friends and or people I dont know, they took it all the wrong way and kept telling me to call 911 as if I was going to harm myself. I am not one to be going to a hospital so I never bothered so as an alternitive, they suggested I go to sleep so I would stay out of harms way, which was 8 at night. So I done that and the next day, I told a friend of mine what had happen on Monday night, so at lest 1 person is aware and now she is just kind of helping me through to stay off the aspartame, etc. I even showed her the previous messages posted on this topic to. So now I am 3 or 4 days without aspartame, and I am hoping to continue and hopefully will never get another product containing aspartame again, for a real long time.

Thank you for your assistance everyone, it is well appreciated.
