10 Threatening Aspartame Side Effects

Search for Articles Here >>

Nearly 180 million Americans regularly use some form of artificial sweetener. This includes aspartame. The problem with this is that while these artificial sweeteners are touted as being a safe alternative to using sugar and even that they promote weight loss is actually a myth. In fact, from the beginning the story of aspartame has been deceitful.

Aspartame was first discovered in the 1960s and approved by the FDA in 1974 based on studies conducted by G.D. Searle & Company. A scientist from the FDA did point out several shortcomings of the studies that were used to help the FDA make their decision. However, his issues with the studies were largely ignored. Since being approved by the FDA there have been serious inquiries into whether or not aspartame is safe for consumption by humans. Here are 10 side effects of aspartame that you may not have known.

1. Headaches and Migraines

There have been several studies that have been completed that show that people who suffer from frequent migraines could be making them worse by consuming products that contain aspartame. This information is backed up by reports of many people who suffer from what was referred to as “Chinese Restaurant Syndrome.” This is when headaches occur after eating a meal that contains glutamates.

Glutamates are a byproduct of aspartame. If you suffer from frequent headaches and consume products that contain aspartame on a regular basis, cutting it out of your diet may help to resolve these issues for you. While there may be other underlying causes of your headaches and migraines, aspartame use may be the leading on. Try cutting back on the diet soda and other foods that contain aspartame and see if your headaches become less frequent. If they do, the aspartame may be the culprit.
