5 Things You May Not Know About Aspartame

Aspartame is a nasty chemical that’s sold as a zero-calorie healthy sweetener. But did you know that it’s technically not calorie-free? Not a lot, only about 4 calories per gram. [1] That isn’t a lot, and it’s not a big deal. But it’s one weird fact you probably didn’t know about aspartame. Let’s take a look at a few other points about aspartame that rarely get discussed. 1. Aspartame is Made from Bacteria Poop The chemical aspartame is made from the waste product of E. coli bacteria. To be blunt, it’s made from bacteria poop. As if that’s not bad enough, the poop is then benzylated and hydrolyzed, and the result of that process is then methylated and debenzylated. [2] Are your eyes crossed from […] Read More

The Toxic Truth About Diet Coke and Slimline Tonic!

Health conscious individuals are usually very particular about their diet and what they prefer to eat and drink. Low fat or sugar free food and drink is the order of the day. Likewise, those who have difficulty controlling their weight and waistline also opt for “slimline” foodstuffs and “diet” drinks in an attempt to rein in blubbery bellies and bulging bums. Those that prefer a good old fashioned cuppa instead of soda will most likely dump the sugar in favour of artificial sweeteners, in an endeavour to lose a few pounds and keep their weight in check.

The Two Most Dangerous Artificial Sweeteners

Artificial sweeteners were initially designed to be sugar substitutes and a helpful tool for the battle against the bulge. Unfortunately, the state of obesity in the world has gotten worse, and artificial sweeteners are clearly not helping. You can find sugar substitutes in diet sodas, yogurt, and a host of other food products. These artificial sweetener additives mimic the flavor of sugar but offer no useful energy and may in fact be toxic.

Of the five main artificial sweeteners, sucralose and aspartame are the most pervasive and dangerous substitutes found in products on store shelves today. Sucralose This additive is […] Read More

2006: New Cancer Study Obligates FDA To Recall Aspartame

From Dr. Betty Martini, D.Hum 2-28-6 OPEN LETTER TO FDA – VIA CERTIFIED MAIL DELANEY AMENDMENT: If a product causes cancer in animals it cannot be put in food! The late FDA Toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross, testified to the Senate: “In view of all these indications that the cancer-causing potential of aspartame is a matter that had been established way beyond any reasonable doubt, one can ask: What is the reason for the apparent refusal by the FDA to invoke for this food additive the so-called Delaney Amendment to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act? Is it not clear beyond any shadow of a doubt that aspartame has caused brain tumors or brain cancer in animals? “Given that this is so (and I cannot see […] Read More

2004: Diet’ Soft Drinks – Suicide On An Installment Plan

Crumpled Coke Can Poetic Justice 12-14-4 The photo of a crumpled can of Diet Coke told the story in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, 30-1-2000, Coke’s hometown paper. Fitting, poetic, just, but tragic for the company once rated “The Most Admired Business in the World”. Today Coke wouldn’t even make the list. Sales are down, profits collapsing, and 6,000 employees soon will be gone. (To make room for 6,000 defence attorneys?) The tragedy is stupendously larger than 6,000 jobs; it affects hundreds of millions of unwarned, innocent, afflicted consumers across the broad face of planet earth. * This crisis can’t be solved by belt tightening, greater efficiency, more advertising, etc. It’s so bad Coke can’t say the word; to pronounce it will bring instant cataclysm. That […] Read More

WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE USED ASPARTAME

By Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D. (c) 2003 Web Site: http://www.russellblaylockmd.com The most important starting point of any detoxification program is to stop exposure to the toxin or toxins. This means avoiding even small amounts, since once sensitized to the toxin even minute amounts can produce full-blown toxicity. This is especially so with accumulative toxins, such as aspartame. It has been shown conclusively that the metabolic products of methanol breakdown, formaldehyde in particular, accumulates on the DNA and cellular proteins. Once you have cleansed your diet of the toxin, removal of the toxin and its metabolic products from your system will begin. Central to this process is the body’s detoxification system, which exist in all cells of the body, with the bulk of detoxification taking place in […] Read More

Splenda

by author Sandra Tonn, RHN With increasing awareness about the dangers of chemical sugar substitutes such as aspartame, consumers are searching for a replacement.What about Splenda???? they ask me, hoping to receive some assurance from a nutritionist that they can enjoy their sweets without calories or adverse health effects.

The patented multi-step process starts with cane sugar. Three hydrogen-oxygen groups on the sugar molecule (sucrose) are replaced with three chlorine atoms, resulting in an artificial compound that is approximately 600 times sweeter than sugar. This compound, which was named sucralose, is chemically stable and, therefore, […] Read More
