153 Mike HalleyI have been off this posion a month...not as hungry, feel better.although very thirsty..I use to chew lots sugar free gum and drink gallons of diet soda..crystal light..not anymore..I'll never touch it again,,, It is truly sickening the power of lobbyists and how the government FDA..congress has the information of how bad this is and still allows it for the almighty buck!..21 billion dollar diet industry?  the medical costs..obesity....How many have lived or are living in misery or worse because they believed our government and the FDA? Imagine the lawsuits...the shockwaves through the country..its amazing that Japan uses Stevia in all thier sugar products..a natural herb no calories taste like sugar..300 times more sweeter...no calories....but no...do want to disruptive the status quo...and lose that cash cow for sucralose..splenda..In closing. you our elected officials that have had knowledge of this...you make me sick..how do you sleep at night?

164 AnonymousMy daughter,in her twenties, experienced numbness in her arms and hands, foggy thinking, excessive tiredness and many other symptoms. She thought she had MS. I found a message board regarding aspertame and read all of the side effects to her and she had MANY of them. She stopped ingesting aspartame and they all went away!!!

169 Jan SchroederI totally agree that these artificial sweetners are dangerous! I have had problems with my hair thinning all my life and finally figured out that these sweeteners are causing it.

172 keith jI Have a hard time walking using a crutch..at first I Thought maybe just from a hit and run back in 1988 20 years ago..but now I Find out that the ARTHRITIS I have could have been possible prevented had I never started drinking diet sodas about 15 or so years ago..On top of that eating ice cream recently alot .more when I moved back to my HOME STATE than I did when I Lived at a homeless shelter..in CALIF...TAKE ASPARTAME off the market before they KILL MILLIONS and get sued for every penny..not just the makers of it but sue the GOVERNMENT for not taking it off the market too..
173 CHERYL A. PEMBERTONI found out about 20 years ago tht every time I drank a diet soda, my tongue would sting; my stomach would hurt, throat would sometimes burn, and I just felt awful after drinking them. So I quit. Whenever I come across a person giving out samples (especially 'diet' or lo-cal' drinks) at Costco, I just tell them that I am allergic to artificial sweeteners, and ask them to check the labels; most of the time they say no, and when I check it for myself - not that I don't TRUST them - I find that it does, indeed, have artificial sweeteners. I NEVER consume ANYthing that has ingredients that have more than five syllables -LOL!
174 Vivian MillerI cannot consume any product made with Aspartame, splenda , Sucrolose or sorbitol. I get terrible stomach pains from all of them. I am morbidly obese, but refuse to "diet" with any of these products.
175 Paul JustiIt's time for full ethics in all branches of our Gov't. Asparteme is a horrible poisen many MD's ahve confirmed. Take this garbage off the market.

178 Aquilla Yoderaspartame is poison! We need it taken out of our food supply!

180 AnonymousI have been told the same thing about aspartame. It is like drinking poison.

184 AnonymousI dont usually drink diet soda but the artificial sweeteners are in alot of the flavored water i drink. Who knows what else it is in.... i am not very good about reading nutrition labels and if aspartame is dangerous it should not just be sitting on shelfs where innocent people who are not aware can become victims of its side effects! My friend has also experienced some of the side effects ( she is a diet coke drinker) I want to help but signing this petition i dont think products with aspartame should be on our grocery store shelfs!
185 Lauren PooleThis is a terribly dangerous product that I will never again use after researching it. It should never have been approved for public consumption. Please ban aspartame.
186 Heather Junior
187 DannetteI am in the same situation as you. Recently stopped drinking diet soda after drinking it exclusively for 10 years. Lets get this crap off the market.
188 Brenda Melville

193 Kay FrohardtMy daughter has had the same thing, quit using these products, but they are in over 5000 products including toothpaste, gum, mouthwash etc. I could go on and on. She almost died 2 years ago from Kettle Corn, I did not see the artificial sweetener in the ingredients list. It is criminal what all it is in. She has had this problem with seizures since she was 17, she is now 40. This should all be banned from the market. Think of all of the children ingesting this junk. It is also in tons of medications, over the counter as well as prescribed.

195 Christine BallardI gave up diet drinks years ago when I suffer many of the same symptoms as others.
196 AnonymousI am discontinuing usage of any product with aspertame as of Sept. 2008. A Dr. told me his wife died from consuming aspertame.

198 Chris WilsonI have suffered the same symtoms using Splenda, my hair turned completely white, I have a chronic cough and developed arthris in my wrists, knees, shoulders and hips. I started using natural sugar in moderation. I agree aspartame is bad for us!
199 Geraldine RubinI notice my daughter was a young child she was getting a lot of headaches. I wondered what could be causing this. Then I realized that aspartame was a new item that was showing up in foods, soda etc. Once we stop letting her have anything with aspartame the headaches stopped. This was years ago.
200 Jane OberheimI used to drink a lot of diet coke. I had a chronic cough for over a year, when someone suggested it could be caused my Aspartame in Diet Coke. I gave up Diet Coke immediately and within a week my cough had completely gone. I now avoid Aspartame the best I can. I really think this substance should be banned and I think it is terrifying how many products it is found in including some cough medicines!
