Aspartame/Nutrasweet
For those of you that haven't been following the Coke V's Water thread I thought you
would like to know about these. It is taken from this website
http://joi.ito.com/archives/2002/10/...d_for_you.html
Just confirms what a lot of us know or suspected for a long time.
Aspartame is poison!
Aspartame/Nutrasweet is not very sweet in itself, that may be why Equal
puts Dextrose (sugar) and maltodextrin as the first ingredients, so that it
tastes sweet.
Aspartame/Nutrasweet is a brain drug that stimulates your brain so you think that the food you're eating tastes sweet. If you pay attention you'll notice that when using Aspartame/Nutrasweet, everything you eat at the same time also tastes sweet! This may be why Aspartame/Nutrasweet causes you to crave carbohydrates. Hence, you won't lose weight using it.
BTW, cyclamates got pulled off the market in the 70's in the US (but not Canada or the rest of the world) because the sugar industry saw too much
of their market disappear.
Aspartame/Nutrasweet (aspartylphenylalanine-methyl-ester) breaks down
to its poison constituents at 86 degrees (Aspartic Acid 40%,
Phenylalanine 50%, and Methanol 10%). Remember your stomach is at 98.6 degrees!
Therefore you should never use Aspartame/Nutrasweet in hot beverages or cooked foods
such as Jello. How the FDA allows this remains a mystery. There is mounting evidence that the "Burning Mouth Syndrome" experienced by the Desert Storm troops was actually
Methanol poisoning from the Diet Coke they drank lots of, after being exposed to desert temperatures.
Aspartame/Nutrasweet's 10% Methanol appears in the body quickly and is the same alcohol (wood alcohol also in lacquer thinner), that your mother correctly warned you could make
you blind. Many skid-row alcoholics had major problems with this cheap but deadly form of alcohol.
Aspartame/Nutrasweet's 40% Aspartic Acid is an "excitotoxin" in the brain and excites
neurons to death, i.e. it kills brain cells and causes other nerve damage.
Aspartame/Nutrasweet triggers Migraine Headaches This even happened to me!.
The Usenet is filled with posts by people who have pinned their migraines down to aspartame/Nutrasweet consumption.
Aspartame/Nutrasweet's breakdown products attack the bodies tissues and create Formaldehyde which builds up in the tissues forever. Remember the smelly, eye watering
fumes from the frogs you dissected in school? They were preserved with Formaldehyde! Formaldehyde is thought to cause cancer.
The American Bottlers Association did not want the FDA to approve Aspartame/Nutrasweet because of what the test report showed. But the FDA approved it anyway!
Airline pilots stay away from Aspartame/Nutrasweet because they are well aware of the documented dangers.
Aspartame/Nutrasweet also breaks down to diketopiperazine [DKP] which is proven to cause Brain Tumors! Brain Tumors used to be rare. Several of the rats in the original study formed brain tumors during their Aspartame/Nutrasweet exposure. The researchers surgically
removed the tumors and returned the rats to the study and discounted the tumors.

Thanks for posting this Andi ...
It amazes me the number of folks that have never heard anything about this and also how the Monsanto company that produces them manages to get these "drugs" through the loopholes to poison us and our children.
There should be more information - ie warnings on the cans/bottles etc at least that would be a start.
my spelling sucks ie edits groan
Answers:
I agree and don't know how these so called foods were ever passed as safe. I would rather have rotten teeth than cancer, so refuse to buy anything that contains any of these artificial sweeteners. They fact that they taste so horrible must be the body's way of telling us to avoid them.

Thanks for reminding people Andi.
I agree with all the above.
To think this poison is in so many products.. even chewing gum....and we all know how teenagers love the stuff.

It's like the awareness programme's say... even if one person that reads this or anything that is posted that they were unaware of, and they decide to act upon it then that's all that matters. We each have our own agenda and own wants/needs... but at least it doesn't have to be in ignorance :)
Answers:
Yes June, that stuff tastes flipping horrible! How people can stick it, I do not know! If I am going to eat something sweet, I'd much rather have natural cane sugar, not some form of chemical 'soup' that's masquerading as sugar!
Ugh!
Love, Pats.

Answers:
I avoid all artificially sweetened things like the plague anyway (give me REAL sugar anyday).
I have the same aversion to magarine. I've heard that some of them are akin to plastic spread in a tub!
I have wondered for a long time whether there is a conspiracy in the diet foods industry to suck in vulnerable people wanting to lose weight with products that actually make you want to eat more. Could they benefit more from their products not working (and being eaten and eaten and eaten) and working (and not being needed again)?
Answers:
Nothing would surprise me anymore with regard to the food industry. If you want a really good margarine though Lyssa, try Sainsbury's organic olive oil spread. It is really tasty and also dairy free.
