Just how safe is the artificial sweetener aspartame (more commonly known as NutraSweet), currently used in some 6000 products and consumed by hundreds of millions of people? You may be surprised to learn that a number of medical problems are likely to be adverse reactions to products containing aspartame. Author H.J. Roberts, MD, a board-certified internist with impressive credentials, first became suspicious of aspartame when he encountered an increasing number of patients with a wide variety of symptoms, such as headaches, mood swings, memory loss, dizziness, depression, insomnia, diarrhea and anxiety, among others. Based on hundreds of case studies, Roberts concluded that these unexplained symptoms were actually reactions to products containing aspartame. The book not only looks at the clinical picture of aspartame, but also describes how it received FDA approval without undergoing testing in humans, and how the United States Senate allowed this well-financed chemical additive to sail through the official government channels.

The enormous consumption of vitamin E by health-conscious Americans continues to escalate. This phenomenon represents both an act of faith and "seduction by authority." Physicians and "nutritionists" who preach the virtues of large doses of vitamin E for treatment and prevention emphasize the "virtual" absence of harmful side effects. Highly publicized reports of the purported value of vitamin E in preventing coronary heart disease and dementia have caused sales to skyrocket.For a quarter century, H.J. Roberts, M.D. has described many clinical problems attributable to excessive vitamin E. Unfortunately, his warnings continue to be overlooked, ignored or suppressed by health professionals, researchers and the wellness press as the list of alleged indications lengthens.Dr. Roberts presents the fruits of his extensive clinical observations and the pertinent researches by other investigators with a minimum of medicalese. He discusses the nebulous concept of "free radicals" that is often usedto justify taking vitamin E as an "antioxidant."Dr. Roberts also elaborates upon the significant biological effects of vitamin E, the flawed protocols and omissions in many studies cited for promotional purposes, the failure of physicians to ask patients who present with serious problems (for example, thrombophlebitis; hypertension; breast tumors) about vitamin E intake, and the widespread denial or trivialization of such problems.
