Equal a sugar substitute ( Aspartame) is said to KIll Ants?
Got an Ant Problem? Use Aspartame
For all the dire health problems associated with aspartame -- the worst of them being cancer -- the original "anything-but-sugar" substitute may have an ideal purpose to exist, not as a food additive, but as an ant poison
Already aware of aspartame's origins as a toxic chemical, a health-conscious consumer with an ant problem emptied one packet of aspartame in the corner of each of her bathrooms two years ago. The "sweet" solution worked brilliantly, as she's seen no signs of carpenter ants crawling around for the past year.
Aspartame may be just the thing for getting rid of fire ants (impervious to many poisons) too, although this solution takes a bit more effort. Initially, fire ants ignored their aspartame treat until a light rain moistened it. After the rain, however, the fire ants came back with a vengeance, taking the aspartame back to the mound by the hundreds. Within two days, any evidence that fire ants existed at all, save for an empty mound, vanished.
No mystery aspartame works like a pesticide, as the asparctic acid contained in this toxic product is a well-documented excitotoxin that causes specific brain cells to become excessively excited to the point they quickly die, just as both kinds of ants did.
Makes you wonder if aspartame is a far safer, better alternative to getting rid of lawn and home pests than the average toxic pesticides found at your neighborhood hardware store ...
If you ever wanted a painless way to find out all the dangers of aspartame you will certainly want to view Sweet Misery. If you are a natural health care practitioner you might want to consider showing this in your reception area.

I never touch anything with artificial sweeteners in it. Not a health nut, but the stuff leaves a nasty taste in my mouth, second would be the stuff it's rumored to do...

I agree--- leaves a bad after-taste in my mouth and makes me feel "off" for quite awhile. The product of this type I least notice this happening is "Splenda" but that still has noticable after effects. All this crap they're selling as sugar substitutes should be investigated thoroughly. F**k the FDA, they're useless. It'll end up being some huge BS conspiracy to rip off unsuspecting, uninformed "guinea pigs" like us just to make a billion or two. If it's not natural, then it's crap and probably unhealthy!

Splenda is just as bad for you, from what I read it has clorinated(poison) bi-products in it. And is a percurser to Diabetes, in simple terms, it fools your body thinKing that the sweet taste is a type of surgar, and after awhile the betabolic response shuts down the pancreas production of insulin.

So if you have diabetes type 2(like me) and are already on glipizide, metformin,,etc. And your using a sugar suplement, you may very well be worsening your already complicated health.

Try Stevia Rebaudiana, it's 15 times sweeter than common table sugar and completely natural.
