Aspartame (now called amino sweet) causes Lupus, seizures, brain tumors? Beware of aspartame?


Sweet Poison by Rhonda Gessner

Side effect of aspartame in humans by Cili Health Chatter

 



Causes MS, brain tumors, seizure.


Rizal  Philippines |   December 4, 2013

I had earlier made posts on this regarding HFCS, and artificial sweeteners.  Dr. Mercola has been vocal against aspartame and  other artificial sweeteners.  I have been an avid drinker of 0 diet drinks, but after reading Mercola, I avoided the 0 drink because I may end being 0.   I will have a student whose job is a manufacturing official of this softdrink company.  I have believed that this emerging trend in healthy living is an ecosystem that old manufacturer must consider.  It is a part of external environment that impacts their sales, and outcomes, and must not ignore this

The post mentions about a lady who was on verge of serious illness, and was sent an article by the author, Rhonda Gessner, about the serious side effect of aspartame.  When she stopped drinking the softdrink, the diet soda,  after only 32 hours, she stopped having the convulsion

The diet drinks have been linked to patients with lupus, or multiple sclerosis.

Sodium and aspartame makes you crave for more carbohydates (therefore are not diet products) 

Aspartame is neurotoxic, and contains formaldehyde which are preservative of human flesh in embalming





Here is an excerpt of the article:

Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. The victim usually does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues it’s use; irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a life-threatening condition. We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic, once taken off diet sodas.
In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, most of the symptoms disappear. We’ve seen many cases where vision loss returned and hearing loss improved markedly.
This also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia. During a lecture, I said, ‘If you are using ASPARTAME (Nutra Sweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting, pains, numbness in your legs,
Cramps,
Vertigo,
Dizziness,
Headaches,
Tinnitus,
Joint pain,
Unexplainable depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss you probably have ASPARTAME poisoning!’ People were jumping up during the lecture saying, ‘I have some of these symptoms. Is it reversible?’
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
STOP drinking diet sodas and be alert for Aspartame on food labels! Many products are fortified with it! This is a serious problem. Dr. Espart (one of my speakers) remarked that so many people seem to be symptomatic for MS and during his recent visit to a hospice; a nurse stated that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence!
Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is a chemically altered, multiple SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containing product that actually makes you crave carbohydrates.
It is far more likely to make you GAIN weight!
These products also contain formaldehyde, which stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. Formaldehyde is an absolute toxin and is used primarily to preserve ’tissue specimens.’
Many products we use every day contain this chemical but we SHOULD NOT store it IN our body!
Dr. H. J. Roberts stated in his lectures that once free of the ‘diet products’ and with no significant increase in exercise; his patients lost an average of 19 pounds over a trial period. Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics. We found that some physicians, who believed that they had a patient with retinopathy, in fact, had symptoms caused by Aspartame. The Aspartame drives the blood sugar out of control. Thus diabetics may suffer acute memory loss due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are NEUROTOXIC when taken without the other amino acids necessary for a good balance.
Treating diabetes is all about BALANCE.. Especially with diabetics, the Aspartame passes the blood/brain barrier and it then deteriorates the neurons of the brain; causing various levels of brain damage, Seizures, Depression, Manic depression, Panic attacks, Uncontrollable anger and rage. Consumption of Aspartame causes these same symptoms in non-diabetics as well. Documentation and observation also reveal that thousands of children diagnosed with ADD and ADHD have had complete turnarounds in their behavior when these chemicals have been removed from their diet.
So called ‘behavior modification prescription drugs’ (Ritalin and others) are no longer needed. Truth be told, they were never NEEDED in the first place!  Most of these children were being ‘poisoned’ on a daily basis with the very foods that were ‘better for them than sugar. ‘It is also suspected that the Aspartame in thousands of pallets of diet Coke and diet Pepsi consumed by men and women fighting in the Gulf War, may be partially to blame for the well-known Gulf War Syndrome.
Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects, i.e. mental retardation, if taken at the time of conception and during early pregnancy. Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and should NEVER be given artificial sweeteners.
There are many different case histories to relate of children suffering grand mal seizures and other neurological disturbances talking about a plague of neurological diseases directly caused by the use of this deadly poison.’
Herein lies the problem: There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was included in 100 different products and strong objection was made concerning its use. Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, and still nothing has been done. The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets.

Deadly aspartame



Aspartame is a crystalline protein that is derived from two amino acids: phenylalanine and aspartic acid.

The FDA refers to aspartame as a food additive, never a drug. A drug on the label of a Diet-Coke might discourage the consumer.

Since aspartame is classified as a food additive, adverse reactions are not reported to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).



Characteristics

Aspartame is 200-300 times sweeter than sugar. Just as sugar, it has its list of adverse reactions and side effects, which include:
  • Anxiety
  • ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder)
  • Candida Albicans (yeast infections)
  • Obesity
  • Headaches
  • Hyperactivity
  • Tooth decay, and
  • Diabetes
The list of adverse reactions and side effects include, but is not limited to:
  • Brain lesions
  • Headaches
  • Mood alterations
  • Skin polyps
  • Blindness
  • Brain tumors
  • Insomnia
  • Depression
  • Various cancers, and
  • Short-term memory loss
Aspartame is economically cheaper and sweeter than sugar, which is very appealing to soda beverage companies. It is also very appealing to weight watchers who are seeking to lose weight because of its low calories.


Aspartame Converts to Formaldehyde

What most diet soda beverage drinkers don't know, is that aspartame, once inside the human body, converts into formaldehyde!

Biological and medical knowledge lets us know that the natural human body temperature is 98.6, which means that any time you consume a substance made with aspartame, the aspartame in those substances is going to convert into formaldehyde as a chemical by-product.

Aspartame is found in over 1,200 food products as a so-called food additive, including diet soda beverages, chewing gum, non-dairy creamer, and candy. It is most popularly referred to as Nutra-Sweet.


Alternatives

One would be wise to get off of all synthetic sweeteners such as Splenda, Equal, Nutra-Sweet, sucrose (white table sugar), and brown sugar. Instead, there are many natural sweeteners that curb the craving without the negative side effects, such as:
  • Maple syrup (Grade B or C)
  • Agave nectar
  • Stevia (plant, should be green)
  • Fruit
Though DHerbs does not recommend honey as a natural sweetener or for food consumption purposes, however, honey is far better and safer alternative than any man-made chemical sweeteners.


Solutions

To detoxify your body from the harmful effects stemming from the residues of using harmful sweeteners, DHerbs offers these solutions:

Food Revolution led by Ocean Robbins starts today

Live healthy and long

From Huffington Post Repost | April 26, 2013

Some 60,000 joins the Food Revolution summit starts today.  And the headline of the article claims the chemical giant hates this summit for this.  The article claims the chemical giant spent $46 million to defeat the proposition 37 (GMO labelling) in California.

The summit advocates vs pesticide, GMO and for organic food and changes in food and nutrition fair trade and health and nutrition.  This is getting out of the box....of current food processing activities

Genetic Engineering - Boon or Bane to Food Supply?

Live healthy and long

 From Dr. Mercola

Genetically engineered plants and animals are supposed to enhance human survival and longevity.  However, observes Dr Mercola, corporate greed, desire for excessive profits, marketing competition has forced many companies, which includes pesticide and seed company to engage in unethical activities.  The giant company being referred to here frequently is  Monsanto and their round up seeds and herbicides.

This is mostly observed in GM corn and soya where round up insectides are being used routinely.  The resistance of the crops to insectides and the genetic composition of the plants alters:  soil fertility, the gut flora of the fowls, cause horizontal transfer of DNA to other organisms in the soil

However the sweeping generalizations on GMO is unfair since some genetically modified organisms are good, yield good harvest, are packed with more minerals and vitamins (why the Proposition 37 lost?)

The articles of Dr. Mercola on GMO have been most enlightening.

Subject: Good News and Great Resources in the GMO Struggle
To: Jorge Saguiinsin <jorge.saguinsin@gmail.com>



The Food Revolution Network
Hi Jorge,
Good news for food revolutionaries: Yesterday Monsanto was denied in their request to be guaranteed 2.6 million gallons of water per day in Hawaii. It takes a lot of water to irrigate GMO crops, and Monsanto's push to take a big chunk of Hawaii's water to grow their genetically modified seeds was rejected
Now a great resource is being offered for Food Revolution Network members! You can watch and share a free streaming of the short version of Genetic Roulette—The Gamble of Our Lives, with a special message from Institute for Responsible Technology founder Jeffrey Smith, now through January 2nd, 2013. This provocative film has been viewed by more than 2 million people, and it has audiences changing their diets before the credits roll. It makes a great resource to share with your family over the holidays.

Check it out here.

Institute for Responsible Technology (IRT) has produced many other powerful resources, too. They've put together a footnoted compilation of Health Risks of GMOs, as well as an overview of Dangers to the Environment, and their Buy Non-GMO toolkit. You can also join IRT's Tipping Point Network of organized advocates who are making a difference.

IRT Makes a Great End-of-Year Charity
If you're looking for a good cause to support at the end of the year, you might want to consider IRT. You can support IRT's critical education efforts which not only help people protect themselves, but are also building huge momentum towards the tipping point of consumer rejection of GMOs. Your support can enable translations of Jeffrey Smith's life-changing documentary, Genetic Roulette—The Gamble of Our Lives, to reach people all over the world; support efforts in 30 states to introduce bills or ballot initiatives for labeling; enable the development of new tools for outreach; and help bring IRT's message to healthcare practitioners, patients, parents, schools, and religious groups.

Glyphosate, active ingredient of Monsanto Round up, now found in urine of city dwellers

Live healthy and long

From Dr. Mercola archives

The active ingredient of Round up, a potent herbicide used by Monsanto in connection with its GMO seeds, is now found in city dweller's urine.  Round up can kill weeds in a matter of days by  inhibiting the enzyme EPSP synthesase and causes defects in embryos of frogs and chicken.  Malformations occur in face, skull, developing brain, and spinal column.

There is now growing number of glyphosate resistant weeds, and is not washed away in crops.  What more, the seeds/plants to which glyphosate is sprayed is  resistant to the herbicide.  How can your body metabilize such a molecule without causing toxic reaction?

That is why there is the proposition 37 which is being voted in California.

GMO, glyphosate, Monsanto, and Proposition 37

Quarter of a million Indian farmers driven to suicide

Live healthy and long

From Dr. Mercola

Over a quarter of Indian farmers have committed suicide for the last l6 years (that is about one every 30 minutes) for having been driven to debt by ever increasing cost of seeds, fertilizer, and pesticide of genetically modified seeds.  That is from the latest movie on trilogy.  From Bitter Seed.  by Teddy Bear Films.

GMO labelling, Proposition 37 will be on vote in California on November 6, 2012

Live healthy and long









From Dr. Mercola

There is an initiative to place on vote on November 6, 2012 Proposition 37 which will require the labelling of Genetically Modified Organism (food) that are being marketed as natural.  Yet companies, led by Monsanto, which was voted the Worst Company, and other which even sell natural foods are objecting.

Yet GMO labelling is practiced in 50 countries through out the world

Monsanto threatened to sue state of California if such a measure/proposition is passed.

It is disturbing to note that glyphosphate, the chemical used in Round up Chemical of Monsanto has been found in France to cause organ damage and tumor in rats.

Fw: The Lies from 4 Big Industries can make You Sicker

                         


                            


This is a feed from Dr. Jose Mercola.

l.  On the lies from big 4 industries:   chemical, pharma, biotech processed food industries

                                        



                
                 


                         
                       USA has highest level of PBDE
                                              
     Fire retardants  -   PBDE -  polybrominated diphenyl ethers, show up in very high concentration among women (because they are used heavily in furniture and electronics equipment) causing them to have thyroid problems (linked to fetal deaths) and altered fertility.

    Biotech  -  elsewhere we have mentioned the Round Up Soy by Monsanto that are resistant to glyphosphate.  That means these soy have been sprayed with glyphosphate and are toxic.














                       
                                     Many deaths have been attributed to Vioxx

                            
                                   Hmm opportunities for lawyers

   Pharma -   Merck has been slapped with lawsuit and fines on Vioxx which had many deaths linked to its usage.  It has a $6 billion worth of Vioxx recall, l00,000 cardiac events and 60,000 deaths.





                             


While marijuana, heroin, codeine are banned, there is the hydrocodone,  synthetic heroin, and once you take it, you are hooked -  legalized prohibited drug pushing by pharmas, eh.  Hydrocodone comes in combination with analgeiscs and other pharma  preparation.   And then what....

    USA is highly drugged, where every citizen takes an average of ll prescription giving rise to phenomenon called polypharma.   The pharma industry is at $800 billion industry and is expected to grow to $l.l trillion.  If were to compare the drug market ot GDP of nations, pharma would rank No. l5.

The main point here is that pharma is not concerned with wellness but with profit and sales, to the detriment of the patient.  The pharmas mindset would need overhauling

The public sector on the other hand, its officials, being helped by big Pharma and Industry lobbyists and campaign funds naturally simply do not regulate what these companies are doing ot harm the customers/consumers/patients.
