In Sweet Poison, Hull, a certified nutritionist, reveals disturbing facts about aspartame —facts hidden since the 1970s —including documents contradicting product safety and the disturbing reality that aspartame was originally approved as a drug, not as a food additive. Hull, who discovered aspartame poisoning was to blame for her life-threatening illness, tells her own gripping story as well as experiences of children, pilots and others who suffered seizures, strokes, blindness and deformities because of their use of aspartame and unveils startling evidence of a cover-up.
