Keeping yourself healthy can be hard to do these days. Many factors can contribute to developing or worsening health risks, therefore awarenesss and proper care is essential. A lot has been said about the relationship between aspartame (NutraSweet) and fibromyalgia, but not everyone who has fibromyalgia gets better by giving up diet drinks. Four Florida women who had had both fibromyalgia and allergies for up to 17 years found that their fibromyalgia symptoms were nearly gone in three months when they quit consuming both NutraSweet and MSG. Taking a balanced B vitamin supplement containing cobalamin (vitamin B12) may speed up relief from symptoms, but the additional B vitamins work well only if NutraSweet and MSG are cut out of the diet.
