Sweet'Ner Dearest: Bittersweet Vignettes About Aspartame [Anglais] [Broché]

This book qualifies as "must" reading for every consumer, parent, and health-nutrition professional. The discussions of "fear of fat" among children and young women, misleading advertising, and the current flood of new foods and additives that were insufficiently tested on humans (as was the case with aspartame) illustrate its enormous scope. Other serious issues raised by Dr.Roberts must be addressed. For example, is the massive consumption of aspartame-sweetened products contributing to the dramatic rise of migraine, depression, and even Alzheimer's disease and brain tumors?

Many regard H.J. Roberts, M.D. as the foremost "aspartamologist" because of his extensive pioneering studies and publications in this field. Numerous letters of appreciation from persons afflicted with Aspartame Disease pleaded for more information. He now honors these pleas with an updated clear overview of the problem, coupled with scores of instructive vignettes and humorous cartoons. There is a minimum of medical and technical terms. As a bonus, Dr. Roberts' familiarity with history, politics and literature, as well as his expertise in medicine, science and nutrition, can make Sweet'ner Dearest a unique adventure in reading.

The serious public health, scientific and political ramifications of this 'expose' could be unprecedented. The FDA's continued approval of aspartame products in the face of THOUSANDS of volunteered complaints from consumers --including hundreds of cases of epileptic disorders--warrants expressions of outrage. Consumers and consumer advocates who have involved themselves in the problem of reactions to aspartame products can attest to the magnitude of corporate denial, professional indifference, and publisher intimidation....After a frustrating ordeal, one school teacher who had reacted to tea containing aspartame suggested, 'What we need is another Boston Tea Party'.
