A 43-year-old nutritionist and health educator suffered intense depression within one week after consuming ten or more glasses daily of an aspartame soft drink. It recurred after one retest trial.
"I was depressed (sad, crying, etc.) for no reason. I was on vacation at the time and having a good time. I started drinking aspartame on vacation because of thirst. I do professional counseling. My clients also have experienced depression and vision problems with aspartame."
Case VII-B-5
A 26-year-old woman experienced severe depression, suicidal thoughts, and marked personality changes after consuming aspartame sodas. All began to improve within one day after stopping them, and disappeared in ten days.
"I went from a fun-loving, carefree person to -- as I would like to refer -- a monster. My appearance changed, my personality changed, my life changed. At that point I really began to believe I was truly insane."
Case VII-B-6
This woman had consumed saccharin-containing soft drinks until they were no longer available. She then drank two to three cans of diet cola daily. Within a week, she experienced severe depression that had not been experienced previously. She wrote, "One day, I was so distraught and crying continuously that I decided to get in my car and find a bridge to drive off. Fortunately, I passed a doctor's office before I found one, and just walked in -- crying and carrying on. The doctor agreed to see me on the spot." He prescribed an antidepressant, which only sedated her.
While in bed praying for help, "A voice told me to stop drinking these sodas. (No, I don't normally hear voices.) Within 24 hours of stopping, I felt much better. Within 48 hours I felt like a brand new human being."
