I’d quit
artificial sweeteners years ago, when I gave up cola and such – or so I
thought. In retrospect I find that a
form of aspartame was in my magnesium supplement, the brand that I took twice
daily for 12 years. I’m in week 3 of detox now.
The
well-known nutritional supplement company repeatedly changed
their product labels. I think that many companies were/are masking ingredients
in their products to make them seem warm and fuzzy (Oooh, what CUTE toxicity! Aww…).
I always check
product labels, but somehow this one got past me. For years, the supplement should
have been clearly categorized as “Magnesium Aspartate” on the front of the bottle but it wasn’t. The
company occasionally changed/re-worded the ingredient label. Last month I noticed
“Aspartic Acid” listed in the ingredients (added in 2003 the company says).
Aha! This
would explain the mysterious brain fog, chronic pain, insomnia, fatigue,
depression etc etc. What a mindf**k!
I’m now looking
at legal remedies - I am not hopeful.
I’ve been
away from my blogs for a while – I’d like to thank those of you who are in my
network, and who email me at afbattershell @ g mail dot com. I plan to spend
time blogging, once again.
