Aspartame Our desire for sweetness and for thinness gave way to the development of a huge artificial sweetener industry. Non-calorie sweeteners like aspartame appeared in everything from soft drinks to potato chips. The most widely used artificial sweetener, and perhaps the most controversial, is aspartame. It is marketed in 6,000 products in 90 countries as a low calorie sugar alternative. The anti-aspartame contingency is large. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola aspartame accounts for more than 75% of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA. According to Dr. Mercola some of these symptoms include headaches, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, depression, fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision problems, hearing loss, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain.
