Aspartame…Super Sweet Poison!

6 January 2010

There is so much evidence against this chemical that it is unbelievable that the FDA ever allowed it. Oh wait…they approved Splenda and Acesulfame K too didn’t they?

Well, anyway, about Aspartame, I can’t think of a better way than to show you some videos about it.

A short video about the negative effects of Aspartame

Aspartame Concerns On 60 MInutes

It is interesting that one researcher looked at 164 studies on Aspartame. 74 of the studies were funded by nutrisweet scientists or people who would benefit from the sale of the product. Every one of those 74 studies found only good things about the chemical. Of the other 90 independent studies not conducted by those people who had a vested interest in finding good things about the chemical, 83 found problems.

Aspartame was approved in the face of 3 independent scientific studies recommending that it not be approved and 2 in house studies recommending the same.

I have learned that I can trust whatever Monsanto says about any safety of any chemical just about as far as I can throw their building, but their sweet spokeswoman always does her best to assure us that all is well.

Please get as many people as you can to view these videos. Our health really is being impacted by Aspartame and the other artificial sweeteners on the market today. We need to insist on a corporate culture that puts people and their health and safety before their insane profits.

Thank you for writing this blog post. There are so many people that use this poison that it blows my mind. There are different ways to sweeten if you do not choose sugar.
I just started using Agave. I’m a fan of it now. Stevia didn’t agree with me, but my family uses it.
I also tried date sugar in cooking something and it worked pretty well.

I still cannot wrap it around my brain how so many people out there are using these insane products. I’m passing this on because I forget that people are not in the “know.” Thanks for saving a little portion of the world with this blog.
Regards, Donna

Hi Donna,
What also blows my mind is that so many people simply don’t want to hear about it They prefer to make excuses as to why they need to use this such as having diabetes. The truth of the matter is that using artificial sweeteners can actually worsen diabetes, not help alleviate it. They make it way harder to lose fat in a weight loss program as well.

I just hope enough people will see this and pass it on so we can help more andmore people.

Thanks for your comments,
Sandy

Thanks Val. My passion is to help people to be healthy and to teach about nutrition and the reasons to protect the environment so that their own health is less impacted. Whether we humans are responsible for the global changes we see happening or not isn’t the point…the point is that by making sure that we not only eat right without eating toxins, but that we breathe clean air to help prevent any number of illnesses and drink pure water for the same reasons. We must do what we can to stop polluting our earthly home so we can live well on it.
