About Aspartame

Artificial sweeteners, especially aspartame, have gotten a bad wrap over the years - most likely due to studies showing they can cause cancer. In order to avoid the stigma, Ajinomoto, the company that produces Aspartme, has changed the name to AminoSweet. It has the same toxic ingredients. The only difference is a healthier sounding name. And if you or your children happen to be allergic to Aspartame, well don't take it personally. It's just business.
Despite the evidence gained over the years showing that aspartame is a dangerous toxin, it has remained on the global market . It continues to gain approval for use in new types of food despite evidence showing that it can cause neurological brain damage, cancerous tumors, and endocrine disruption, among other things.
Most consumers are oblivious to the fact that Aspartame was invented as a drug. And that upon the discovery of its sweet taste, it was magically transformed from a drug to a food additive. HFA wants to warn our readers to beware of a wolf dressed up in sheep's clothing - or in this case Aspartame dressed up as Aminosweet.
