Before you reach for another sugar free "diet" drink, read this:
Aspartame is considered the most dangerous food additive on
the market today. Aspartame's main compounds are Aspartic Acid, Phenylalanine,
and Methanol. These combine to kill neurons in the brain, poison the body and
are linked to an enormous amounts of health effects. In any other scenario this
substance would be considered poison and recommendation for non ingestion would
be made on the bottle. But because this poisonous substance has been approved
by food and drug associations, its legal. And we all know why ;)
Some comments I found:
The worst is
"sugar free". Diabetics and and parents with children always fall
victim to it. Diabetics for obvious reasons, and young children because their
parents think they are cutting back on sweet things. You could blind fold me,
and I would be able to tell you right away what the product has, or hasn't been
sweetened with. There are many alternatives to sweetening foods you cook and
serve yourself. Like honey, or natural sugars.
My aunt had a nervous
breakdown due to drinking lots of diet soda with aspartame, and the doctor's
first question was not are you feeling depressed, but do you drink lots of diet
soda?
Aspartame gives me
enormous migraines. I hate when you go to get a sugar drink at a drive through and they give you diet instead of regular. It puts me out for 2
days!
It is well established
since 1985 that it is linked to obesity; it soaks up added water in the fat cellls,
MIGRAINES, sleep disturbances, unspecified allergic dermamtitis, unspecified
weight gain, etc...
In 1987 I was suffering
so badly from Migraine headaches that my family doctor didn't know what to
do...he sent me to The Cleveland Clinic Foundation (Cleveland, Ohio) for
diagnosis and treatment. The FIRST thing they told me to do was STOP USING ASPARTAME!! Then trademarked primarily as Nutrasweet. I
have been aspartame-free for 24 years and feel much better than when I used it
daily. ALSO...I would much RATHER use good old natural sugar---granulated or
sugar in the raw than any artificial sweetener BECAUSE the USDA allows a POISON
like Aspartame! **A friend of my mother-in-law told me that aspartame has also
been linked to LEARNING DISABILITIES! I doubted it, until my oldest son was diagnosed
with them...
While sugar--or too much of anything is not good for us, we must learn some MODERATION! I use very little sugar. My coffee creamer has enough in it, therefore I do not add more to my coffee. I regulate the in-take of sugar consumption, fruit is still sugar---sugar by any other name is still sugar---fructose, lactose etc yep---still sugar! I'll take that over something manufactured in some plant somewhere that is poison to us.
