Japan’s Ajinomoto, a leading Aspartame producer, is launching a new initiative that will brand the sweetener AminoSweet.
Aspartame was discovered in 1965 and is also known as NutraSweet and Equal. Equal is more easily recognized as the ‘little blue packets’ found on nearly every restaurant table in the U.S.
There have been more reports to the FDA for aspartame reactions than almost all other food additives combined. The product never should have been approved by the FDA. (It was a political power play) Symptoms from aspartame toxicity can mimic numerous chronic diseases.

If you are looking for a sugar substitute without all the dangers of aspartame than ‘stevia’ may be your answer.

Ajinomoto’s signature product, monosodium glutamate (MSG) is another product you should avoid.
