OK, I found something. Finally!
>Of equal concern is observation that we know that about 10% of the population >(based on autopsy studies of elderly) have MS lesions without ever developing >the full blown disease, a condition called benign MS. A diet high in >excitotoxins, such as aspa
rtame, can convert this benign, subclinical condition >into full-blown clinical MS.
This comes from a book by Russell Blaylock, "Excitotoxins: The Taste
That Kills."
The original quote from Phil is a corruption of something that showed
up Online about 1997 by a "Nancy Markle." S/he who must not be named
has claimed authorship of the post.
The rest of the info I found agrees with what you said: aspartame does
not cause MS, but mimics it. I agree with that, too.
Aspartame makes my MS symptoms worse, but did not cause it.
There is something going on with aspartame and the CNS; what, I don?t
know. But I haven?t intentionally used it for over 8 years. Someone
who used to post here gave me the idea of kicking it. (Hi, Cyd!)
NOW, if I could just convince my sister of this! Last time she was
here, I almost had it out with her over this, but I let it go. If she
thinks her pure and holy diet is protecting her from getting MS, let
her. If you guys on this NG think I'm opinionated. . .you haven't met
my sister!
