Transcript

OK, everyone on your feet… First up: New research pertaining to pregnant women and aspartame, nutrasweet, what’s typically in diet sodas. How many think the latest data suggests aspartame is harmful??? How many think the latest data suggests aspartame is harmless??? Anyone think they actually found some benefits—helpful??? So harmful that leading scientists are petitioning the FDA to pull it from the market. So anyone voting harmless or helpful, please sit down and we’ll go onto our next round.

To see any graphs, charts, graphics, images, and quotes to which Dr. Greger may be referring watch the above video. This is just an approximation of the audio contributed by Dianne Moore.

    is this JUST a concern for pregnant woman?

      Toxins are not just a concern for pregnant women.

    Toxins, this is absolutely not an issue soley for pregnant women. Everyone should be concerned about aspartame and its effects on our bodies. Please look at Dr Greger’s other videos on the subject. You will see that this lab created compound (accidentally discovered while making an anti-ulcer medicine) has no place in our food and beverages.

      I only say this because the video starts out in regards to pregnant woman.

    Is it true that aspartame can cause seizures in people with epilepsy?
