  • Ebi created a new topic ' Harmful effects of sweeteners specially ASPARTAME' in the forum.
    Hello Doctor:


    I read in an article, about the results of a research study done on 3000 women, by women's hospital in Boston, over the period of 11 years. Those women who had more than 2 glasses of pops containing sweetener ASPARTAME, had double the risk of developing kidney disease or failure.
    This article is written by Dr. Parviz Ghadirian who has a PhD in Cancer Epidemiology from McGill University and a PhD in Nutrition from University of Montreal.

    As a man with type 2 diabetes, I have been using sweeteners everyday, and wonder, how safe are these sweeteners?


    Thank you

    Ebi

The Verres needle we have in our centres (actually across England) comes just in one part so it is not to separate the inner part and pass the guidwire through it. Most of my colleagues regrettably stopped using t...
