Aspartame tampers with your amino acids, decreasing levels of crucial hormones such as dopamine, tyrosine, adrenaline, seratonin, and norepinephrine. Therefore it is harder for the cause of the effects to be found in blood tests, because it is causing the symptoms to occur seemingly naturally. So the next time you go to the doctor with symptoms that can’t be explained, you can blame it on something like aspartame that is in your diet. I suggest you read the labels before you buy anything and make sure you are not ingesting Aspartame AT ALL. If you find out you are using products that contain Aspartame, THROW THEM OUT AND DON’T USE THEM ANYMORE. The effects caused by Aspartame are SERIOUS, and if you choose to consume Aspartame daily then you should do so on your own discretion.
