Each molecule of NutraSweet, when it reaches a
temperature of 86 degrees F (recall that the
body’s normal temperature is 98.6 and warehouses
in the summer’s sun can reach temperatures far
higher than that)) breaks down into its two amino
acids (a molecule each of phenylalanine and
aspartic acid, both excitotoxins) and a molecule
of methanol (wood alcohol!) which then
metabolizes into formaldehyde (embalming fluid
and a known carcinogen), formic acid (the acid
that causes the intense itching from the prickles
of burning weed) and diketopiperazine (a known carcinogen).
