Book excerpt: As a longtime advocate for banning the common food and beverage additive aspartame as an "imminent public health hazard," this Florida physician informs doctors and consumers about a multiplicity of patients' adverse reactions to it. Based on case studies and responses to a questionnaire (which is included), such reactions include neurological, psychological, and immunological symptoms and disorders. Dr. Roberts also discusses aspartame consumption, its biochemistry, high risk groups, and obstacles to regulation, but does rely on controlled studies. Appends his 1987 Senate testimony on Nutrasweet/Equal, and opinions regarding the risks of aspartame for specific patient populations.
