Aspartame and Your Mental Health
In 1965, a chemist working to develop an ulcer drug accidentally discovered a substance 200 times sweeter than sugar. The FDA initially shunned this substance because it caused seizures and brain tumors in lab animals. In 1981, the FDA allowed this brain tumor and seizure-causing substance to begin both sweetening and poisoning our food supply, pharmaceuticals, and children's' vitamins. Banned in children's products in Europe, the chemical, aspartame, is now a big part of America's diet craze. This is despite the fact that it accounts for more than 75% of the complaints reported in the FDA's Adverse Reaction Monitoring system. (http://www.aspartame.ca/page_a3.html and http://www.dorway.com/jwnoasp.html) Aspartame, once in the body, breaks down into various chemicals. One is the same toxin you get from a fire ant bite. Another is the smelly formaldehyde in which your science teacher stored animals to dissect. Yet another is methanol, the same main ingredient as in Prohibition Era moonshine - the same moonshine that was notorious for causing blindness. How many mothers, who would never think of giving their children moonshine, have stocked their cabinets with any of the now 5,000 products that contain aspartame? (http://www.dorway.com/betty/environ.txt) For those of us who struggle with anxiety or depression because of low serotonin levels, aspartame is especially bad news. This chemical additive wreaks further havoc by depleting tryptophan levels. Tryptophan is necessary in the production of serotonin. Without it, you will suffer more frequent attacks and more severe depression!

How To Make Health Insurance Plans More Affordable And Still Protect Against...
There are different types of health insurance plans available for both individuals and families. Some people are fortunate enough to have health insurance offered through their employer. This is known as Group Health Insurance and it's normally much less expensive than buying a health insurance plan in the open market because of the power of multiple people buying insurance from one company. Unfortunately, many small businesses are not unable to offer health insurance to their employees any longer simply because the costs have become so high that they can no longer afford it. This has forced many people into the private sector, where they're being forced to pay more for coverage.
