Want to lose weight safely? Well don't use Monsanto's artificial sweetener aspartame (AminoSweet, NutraSweet, Equal, NatraTaste, Canderel, Spoonful, Equal-Measure). The approval of the artificial sweetener aspartame (E951) was the most contested in US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) history. The approval was not based on any scientific grounds but was granted due to political and financial pressure. The FDA finally approved aspartame in 1981, even though scientific research had clearly shown that aspartame caused brain tumours in lab animals, therefore poses a real cancer risk to humans as well.
How did this happen? According to the documentary 'The World According to Monsanto', the story starts in the White House, where Monsanto often got its way by exerting disproportionate influence over policymakers via the “revolving door”. One example is Michael Taylor, who worked for Monsanto as an attorney before being appointed as deputy commissioner of the FDA in 1991. While at the FDA, the authority that deals with all US food approvals, Taylor made crucial decisions that led to the approval of GE foods and crops. Then he returned to Monsanto, becoming the company’s vice president for public policy.
Aspartame (E951) is now being used in over 6000 products and millions of people worldwide use the sweetener on a daily basis. In addition to potentially causing cancer, aspartame also causes many other health problems including epilepsy, migraines, diabetes, obesity, brain disorders, ADHD, ADD, MS, etc.
Aspartame is used in any of the following products: Sugarfree, Light, Diet, Zero (Coke, Sprite & Fanta), Coke 007, Pepsi Max, Crystal Clear, Low-Calorie, Crystal Light, No Sugar Added, Smint, Stimorol Ice, Stimorol Fusion, Freedent, Mentos, Sportlife, etc.
Aspartame breaks down into three toxic components:
1. Methanol, a poisonous alcohol. In the body, methanol breaks down into formaldehyde, which is a poison.
2. Phenylalanine. This decreases the amount serotonin in your brain, which leads to mood swings (depressions) and an increased appetite! That is why aspartame is one of the main causes for the current obesity epidemic.
3. Aspartic acid. This is a neurological toxin comparable to MSG.
Thank you for sharing. I think there are a lot of people out there that don't have a clue to this. It needs to get out to people, wake up world, go back to your roots. Fruits, Veggies and nothing chemical~
ReplyDeleteI agree. I have been reading labels for forty years. Aspartame has been on labels for years, yet continues to enter more and more products. Why do we eat and drink products when we can see that chemicals and unknown substances are in our food? Become apart of the "Just Label It organization who sent this to me today:
ReplyDelete"At any point, the FDA may approve genetically engineered salmon, which would be the first genetically engineered animal on supermarket shelves in the United States. It's engineered to produce growth hormones year-round to make the fish grow at twice its natural rate! But without labels, we don't have the ability to decide what's best for our families."
What will it take for people to stand up for the Earth and the wholesome food we need for a healthy life? Please become aware and care.
