The fact that it accumulates with each dose, indicates grave consequences among those who consume diet drinks and foodstuffs on a daily basis. That is over twice the level necessary to cause irreversible genetic damage in humans and several times the level shown to cause chronic neurological, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and other symptoms in long-term industrial exposure research. The damage caused by formaldehyde from aspartame may be worsened by other aspartame breakdown chemicals, especially the aspartic acid. In animal research where formaldehyde is given to the animals to cause damage and pain, amino acids such as aspartic acid and glutamic acid are given at the same time to worsen the reaction. The amino acids from aspartame are absorbed suddenly unlike the protein-bound amino acids found in food.
Independent research finds problems with aspartame .
Dr. Walton analyzed 164 studies which were felt to have relevance to human safety questions. Extremely large number of reported toxicity reactions to aspartame . Clearly, regular exposure to a toxic substance such as formaldehyde may worsen, or in some cases contribute to the development of chronic diseases. I would be glad to share scientific information with independent researchers and physicians who are interested in the subject of aspartame toxicity. Most of them have read the key research related to aspartame at the time they wrote their views.
