Aspartame, MSG
What aspartame has done to the family is a crime.  If someone does get pregnant Dr. Bowen points out that aspartame is an abortifacient and also a teratogen (causes birth defects).  And if a live child is born he says aspartame may have heinously damaged DNA for generations to come.  DNA damage was proven on the Trocho Study in l998, and also showed that the formaldehyde accumulates in the cells with most toxicity in the liver but substantial amounts in the kidneys, adipose tissue (reason for obesity -fat cells), retina and brain.  Aspartame also ruins female response and trigger male sexual dysfunction.

There are currently still some one million patients trapped in addiction and another million disabled by withdrawals. The big tranquilliser cover-up by Margaret Bell

MORE than 50,000 babies a year are at risk of brain damage or death because they are poisoned by tranquillisers in the womb...The effects on the infants, who absorb the drugs through the placenta,. are even more devastating than those of heroin.

Janet Kerr, 62, said her son Charles was was born "in real distress" and doctors thought he would die.
