Aspartame is extremely poisonous, and here is why. One of the toxic
ingredients of Aspartame is wood alcohol. When the temperature of Aspartame
exceeds 86 degrees F, the ***wood alcohol*** in the Aspartame is converted to
formaldehyde, and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic
acidosis.
Sergio Santoro (X)
