This documentary attempts to look at what is definitively known about aspartame and discovers that the label "hoax" in this case is a dangerous misconception. This controversial documentary is sure to open eyes to the possible dangers of what lurks in our food. Review: Get it! Enough said. - You may be able to find a free version of the video on Google Videos if you search the title. If not, buy it off of desertcart and it'll be well worth it. It's an extremely telling documentary that really made me think twice about the ingredient Aspartame / Nutra Sweet (Crystal Light) and other artificial prococessed / fake sweeteners. The only thing I don't like is it has more of a scare tactic vibe to it, but the professionalism of the videography gives it a lot of integrity for making a serious effort not to come across as biased. Review: Not an expert, but experienced - I'm not a dietary scientist. I'm not a doctor. I'm not an expert. I even need a spell check to write this. But I know what I've seen and heard from close friends and relatives. A daughter-in-law was having occasional, unpredictable, and unexplained seizures. Doctors put her on all kinds of medications, but she kept having them. She also was a heavy Diet Coke drinker and imitation sweetener user because of a concerned weight problem. When someone suggested getting away from Aspartame, she gave it a try. The seizures quit and the only ones she's had in the eleven or so years since were mild ones occurring after visiting Las Vegas where Aspartame might be in some of the foods without her knowing it. A close friend is overweight and diabetic. At a doctor's advice she went on a lose-weight effort and substituted artificial sweeteners with Aspartame. Her blood sugar readings went wild. They didn't correlate to what she ate. She felt miserable nearly all the time and some of us wondered if she was considering suicide. My wife suggested eliminating the artificial sweeteners. Her "recovery" was almost immediate and her blood sugar readings became correlated to what she was eating and has remained so for a year or more. I didn't know that Splenda has Aspartame in it. Some years ago I started drinking Splenda sweetened drinks by Talking Rain in an effort to lose weight. I had an extremely painful kidney stone attack. The doctor asked what I had done differently. I told him I was drinking the Splenda Talking Rain drinks. He insisted that couldn't be the cause. The kidney stone resolved itself but I quit the Splenda drinks for about a year. When I resumed drinking them, I got another kidney stone attack in about two weeks time. It too eventually passed and I quit the Splenda drinks for good. I haven't had another attack since. As for Donald Rumsfeld being less than candid, that's consistent with his declaration that the war he was orchestrating in Iraq was not about oil, but that Iraq's oil profits that the war would give them control over would be used to pay for Iraq's restoration that they (he along with our tax money, and Cheney affiliated industries by no-bid contracts) were getting paid enormously to both destroy and restore. These are the people who want to privatize government, eliminate safety controls, complain that government controls take away their "freedom," and claim that the free market will solve all problems--not to mention that they control the free market. I'm not a scientist, doctor, expert, or certified anything but a person who so far as I know can still put a few puzzle pieces together and see what sort of picture is consistently formed.

How about you? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent DVD - definitely thought provoking... *by G***Y on March 27, 2008* Lately, I've been researching Aspartame as I am concerned that I am having some side effects from consumption and every day I am seeing it popping up in more and more of the products I have been regularly consuming. First it was my Diet Coke, then my minty Listerine breath strips, then my Wrigley's spearmint chewing gum and it's not even the sugar-free kind! I went to my local drugstore and I see that Aspartame is in the ingredients of all sorts of other medicinal products I didn't know it was in... Even in Children's fruit flavored chewable vitamins! After seeing this movie, I will not eat or drink anything before carefully reading the ingredients list to make sure that Aspartame is not present. I highly recommend this DVD if you want to know more about Aspartame and how our own FDA may be failing in adequately warning us of the risks. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2617915-sweet-misery-a-poisoned-world](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2617915-sweet-misery-a-poisoned-world) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
