According to the European Food Regulatory Authority, the artificial sweetener aspartame is safe. Experts from the European Food Safety Authority came out with the opinion that the use of aspartame does not pose a danger to human health.
Aspartame, known as E951, contains aspartic acid, phenylalanine and negligible amounts of methanol. Aspartic acid is a natural amino acid that is responsible for creating new DNA and acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain. Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid that acts as a stimulant for the synthesis of tyrosine and neurotransmitters.
Aspartame was synthesized by Jim Schlatter in 1965. The substance he discovered is about 200 times sweeter than sugar. Since the early 80's began to invest heavily in the production of soft drinks, food, fruit juices and various confectionery, especially those that are defined as dietary.
A number of clinical studies have questioned the safety of the widespread use of aspartame in the food industry. Aspartame is thought to cause more than 90 different types of disease and, in some exceptional cases, death.
The FDA (Federal Medicines Agency) side effect monitoring system reports that aspartame is responsible for about 75 percent of side effects caused by dietary supplements.
A number of independent studies have shown that aspartame can cause a number of ailments that can be mistakenly attributed to daily stress and fatigue at work.
Regular consumption of foods or beverages containing aspartame can lead to headaches, fatigue, dizziness, depression, nausea, weight gain, rashes, hearing and vision problems, anxiety, heart problems and difficulty breathing, memory problems, loss of taste, impaired speech, dizziness and lightheadedness, etc.
Healthcare professionals recommend that you do not consume foods and beverages containing aspartame if you suffer from multiple sclerosis, brain tumors, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and autism, because these diseases can be exacerbated by the use of this artificial sweetener.
According to experts from the European Food Safety Authority, aspartame does not pose a health hazard, as long as the recommended daily doses are not exceeded.
A safe daily dose is about 40 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, which is approximately 2800 mg per adult. The dose in children under 3 years of age should not exceed 600 mg.
