Case reports of fibromyalgia chronic pain sufferers cured, by removing the artificial sweetener aspartame (Nutrasweet®) from their diets.
Aspartame-Induced Fibromyalgia
Doctor's Note
Below is an approximation of this video’s audio content. To see any graphs, charts, graphics, images, and quotes to which Dr. Greger may be referring, watch the above video.
Nontoxic treatments should always get precedence, and you can’t get much more nontoxic than removing processed foods from people’s diets! Alternately, many folks suffering with fibromyalgia symptoms may have been misdiagnosed, and are actually suffering from an easily treated vitamin D deficiency. What’s the best way to treat that? See Vitamin D Pills vs. Tanning Beds, one of my many other videos on vitamin D. I’ve got a bunch of other videos on sweeteners, including Is Nutrasweet® Bad For You? and Update on Aspartame. In Diet Soda and Preterm Birth, I address concerns about aspartame consumption during pregnancy.
