Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World Trailers

Narrator Cori Brackett had a strange cause-and-effect experience with the diet cokes she was drinking and quickly found herself disabled and diagnosed with MS. Slowly able to walk and speak again, she believes her illness is linked to aspartame. She is a co-owner of a video/film production company. After 7000 miles, and 25 hours of footage, "Sweet Misery" will reveal one of the most pervasive, insidious forms of corporate negligence since tobacco.

I have watched this production many times now, often with friends. Cori has done something that 60 Minutes and other major news programs did not have the courage to do. She was the very first to point out the the King was wearing no clothes. She took on big business, big politics and big food when it wasn't the thing to do. In this series of vital interviews she captures the essence of what is wrong with the Food and Drug Administration. In the process she has saved countless lives from the tragic effects of a long slow poisoning from a additive that was forced into the worlds food supply by unscrupulous politicians and a powerful industry lobby. Cori travels the United States to interview not only those who suffer from Aspartame disease but also scientists, doctors and legal scholars who could see what was coming and did what they could to stop it. This is a beautifully done and heart warming story of the courageous fight of a small band of good people who have been and continue to warn neighbors against the biggest and most cowardly affront on our country since Pearl Harbor. This is a must watch for everyone.

As always I hear repeated the same thing. U did even listen...It was said that methanol in normal food is not the same as in Aspartame. And its truth. Methanol in food is harmless. Along with Fluoride in toothpaste its reason why cancer causes now 1/3 of deaths when 50 years back caused about 1/30. Just a coincidence ? Of course not.Besides... does anyone thinks big Companys care if its causing cancer? Comon... sure they don't. Important is just ca$h.Wake up ! Truth will prevail !

Unfortunately, unlike many other conspiracy films, this one isn't even interesting. We eat and drink far more natural sources of methanol and our bodies create and dispose of formaldehyde in much larger doses than Aspartame creates. The film is just a series of a few anecdotes and specialists working outside their fields. Much the same as the ID crowd works.The movie creator at the very beginning of the film establishes a cause for her own MS and spends the film trying to prove her suspicion is correct. It's sad she has MS, but the film just seems like she is looking for somebody to blame.If your tired of the assault on science, avoid this film.

The issues raised in this documentary are scary and enlightening. Although I was not 100% convinced that many of those interviewed in the film were experts in their field, there was more than enough convincing evidence shown in the film to damn aspartame as a sweetener. Purely from the perspective of content, the documentary was successful. However, much of the film was poorly edited. The narrative style was choppy as Ms. Brackett strongly took the reins in some sections and seemed to disappear entirely in others. In addition, given the quality of the graphics throughout the film, a better job with the occasional green-screening would have been nice. Overall, this documentary is worth the time and the content is easily interesting enough to distract from the film's faults. I highly recommend this film who includes aspartame in their diet.
