With all I hear on TV and what I've seen here makes me wonder again how many things in ready made foods, antibiotics given to animals ,contamination of our water and air we breath,etc..... And why they insist on puting Aspertame in products we eat and drink knowing it's bad for us! I just saw TV commercial telling me to watch their news Monday to hear about possible chemical made in can filled with BABY FORMULA! I have seen what Aspertame has done in my husbands family; his granmother and dad both shake from using it and my husband's head was shking until he stopped using it! Thank God he listen to me before he had permanant damage! His family are in denial, they never seem to take any warnings we give them seriously! They barely listen to their Doctors! The only way to get companies to stop using aspertame is for us to stop buying the products with it in it! Just imagine if we could find that it was things we ate and drank that caused all of our illnesses we wouldn't have to spend our lives in misery at the Drs. taking drugs with crappy side effects that we have to pay for with money we don't have ! It's bad enough we do and eat in excess as it is! If you read this , PLEASE PASS IT ON! God bless all of you! :)

boy, i am so with you on this one today. i remember years ago when they started to put bgh [bovine growth hormone] shots into cattle. i told my husband then that there would be side effects later down the line. he argued of course but now it is true. the kids are all bigger and look like 20 year olds and they are only 12!!! its in the paper every once in awhile. we dont use it on our farm but the large farms do so the cows give a lot more milk. some of the milk even has bgh stamped on the label so you know it before you buy it. people never read labels any more!!! the goverment allows all of these additives to be placed in our food and no one does anything to get it stopped. its like slow poisening of us all. i have not done any research myself on aspertame but this afternoon i will look it up on the computer and maybe it will have a listing of some of the foods that it is in. i really do agree with you, i think a lot of the things we eat are giving us health problems and cancers. i know a lot of folks will disagree with my comment but that is how i feel. the doctors get enough of our money as it is...read labels friends and stop buying these products and go organic!!! yes it is a lot more expensive but is better for you in the long run of your life. loved your journal!!!! gave me something to really think about today. hugs, judy
I couldn\'t agree with you more!!! I was raised Vegan because of all the extra ingediants my mother didn\'t want us eating..I can remember my first cheeseburger was not intil the age of 17 just because my mother knew about all the junk they would use. Even the milk she was Rice milk because of all the chemicals. And that was 36 years ago. Now that I am a mother and having been deprived so to speak on many thing, I do the same things she did while I was growning up. She still has the garden that she fed us while we were gowing up, that I get alot from still today. My children espeicaly the older ones look there age 17 and 16 and when I look at other children I always think to myself wow what is wrong with my child why do they look like they are 14 and 12. Your article inspired me to say Hey it\'s not my kids that are to small for there ages!!
Thanks
