Dear Chairman Dr. Green, Vice Chairman Mizuno, and members of the Hawaiian House Health Committee:

As an aspartame user for well over 20-years, I know firsthand what this chemical can do - vision problems, memory difficulties, severe headaches, mood swings, weight gain, rigors, anemia, dehydration, and addiction.

After taking aspartame out of my home and life, I have started to regain my health and the headaches have virtually disappeared. I no longer use anything with this deadly chemical and commend you for taking the same stand. If not for people such as this committee, people living and visiting Hawaii would go on to have the many ailments or even death. What better way to let the Hawaiian population know that you truly care about their health and well-being than to literally save them from undue pain and suffering? I can think of no better.

Thank you for your time and this great effort.

Regards,
