Later I saw my family doctor who sent me to two specialists who could not help me. Then I read the letter in your column from the lady whose mother had identical problems. After discontinuing taking aspartame she became her old self again. I subsequently found aspartame is now in Equal. I stopped taking it three weeks ago and now feel wonderful. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

DEAR READER:
Frankly, I have been amazed at the number of my readers who have had unpleasant reactions to aspartame. The sugar substitute can cause a wide range of medical problems, including life-threatening reactions.

I would feel more comfortable — as I’m sure you would — by eliminating any product that contains aspartame and substituting pure fructose, FruitSweet or similar products instead. Better still, drink that coffee black. You’ll be amazed how quickly you come to enjoy the true taste of tea, coffee, or other products to which you previously added sweeteners.

DEAR READER: The cause of Alzheimer’s remains a mystery but much active research is in progress. To my knowledge, Alzheimer’s is not related to aspartame. Some individuals are sensitive to aspartame and may experience symptoms from ingestion of it.

To give you related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Alzheimer’s Disease”. Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed, stamped number 10 envelope and $2 to Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title.
