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.

Soda drink may actually trigger cravings, weight gain and even leukemia - Dr. Mercola.com

Live healthy and long

Repost from Dr. Mercola.com archive | July 24, 2013

Despite repeated advertising claims, diet soda (I used to drink plenty of Zero and Mega drinks) with aspartame actually cause cravings, weight gain, obesity and even diabetes.

In a Journal entitled Appetite  aspartame and saccharine caused more weight gain than sucrose.

As for the link between cancer and aspartame and cancer, aspartame has been found to induce cancer of the liver in male rats.  In a longest study between cancer and other causes, aspartame has been linked to Hodgkin's lymphoma and leukemia.  The study came out in 2012

For splenda (sucrolose), the rating for splenda (I shifted to splenda from aspartame) has been downgraded from safe to caution

Soda (softdrinks) is the leading cause of obesity

Live healthy and long

Reposted from Dr. Mercola archives | Jan 2013

Despite the ad campaign of a leading world maker of softdrink to "to come together and fight obesity" it is criticized for lack of candor.  Despite diet and zero calories variety of its products, the HFCS component of the softdrinks and sweeteners have been attributed to be the cause of obesity.

Some expert views:

1. Dr. Sanjay Gupta has told CNN that one of the leading causes of obesity is softdrinks

2.  Dr.  Robert   Lustig points out that fructose is isocaloric rather than isometabolic.  It is not burned but converted directly to FAT!

3.  Dr. Richard Johnson says that fructose turns on the fat switch.  He is the author of Sugar Fix,  and Fat Switch

Use of artificial sweeteners in sodas

Consumption of sodas has gone down but not those with zero calories and/or artificial sweeteners.  Use of sugar substitute did not result in better health.  As a matter of facts, studies in 2011 has shown that use of sugar substitutes resulted in waist size gain 6x than those who did not take same substance.  The use of aspartame has likewise shown that blood sugar levels has increased in diabetes prone individuals.

The risk of being obese taking these softdrinks with artificial sweeteners is as follows:

  • 36.5 percent for up to 1/2 can per day
  • 57.1 percent for more than 2 cans per day  ---->> much much higher
For regular soft-drink drinkers, the risk of becoming overweight or obese was:
  • 26 percent for up to 1/2 can per day
  • 32.8 percent for 1 to 2 cans per day
  • 47.2 percent for more than 2 cans per day
So we are not against softdrinks per se;  we are for good health and long life!

Milk Producers Petition FDA to allow sugar substitutes in milk

Live healthy and long

From Dr Mercola archives | March 13 2013 

Two large association of dairy producers in the US:  International Dairy Food Association (IDFA) and National Milk Producers Association have petitioned FDA to allow unlabeled inclusion of sugar substitutes in milk:  aspartame and sucrolose (splenda).  The idea/objective is to reduce obesity in children (a growing concern in USA) by providing low calorie alternative with sugar/sweetener substitute.

Aspartame, after a series of processes in the body can become methyl alcohol which becomes formalin after absorption in the brain contributing to Alzheimer's, cancer and multiple sclerosis

Why Splenda is not so Splendid for your health

Live healthy and long

From Wizard Stack blog on Splenda 

Splenda, sucrolose is an artificial sweetener;  it is not sugar.  Before I used to buy and consume a lot of Splenda.  They say aspartame is bad for the health.  Now splenda is also deemed unsafe.  It leaves the body unmetabolized.  It contains chlorine, just like, according to the experts, DDT.

The better alternative would be Stevia.  (I have stevia plant in my house and there is a large plantation in the PHL, I heard)

The bitter TRUTH about STEVIA (avoid this)

Subject: The bitter TRUTH about STEVIA (avoid this)

You already know that keeping your blood sugar from spiking is one of the KEY's to cutting flab and keeping it off...

...but sometimes, it can be tough!

After all, we all get our sweet cravings.

And up until now, there weren't many good options to satisfy those cravings AND keep your blood sugar in check.

If you wanted an alternative to sugar, you used to have one choice:

"Fake Sugars" like aspartame, sucralose and saccharine.

But as a reader of this newsletter, you know to steer well clear of these "diet
sugars" that can not only cause you to gain more weight, but have also been
linked to many diseases including cancer, heart disease and... ironically,
diabetes.

Did you know Aspartame was once listed by the Pentagon as a biochemical warfare agent?  Crazy but true! Anyway...

...you probably already know about one of my "go to" healthy sugar alternatives, the Stevia plant from South America.

And while many folks love replacing pancreas-pummeling sugar with it, some
people are disappointed by a distinct bitter aftertaste that can last for hours
when used too often.

The SNEAKY reason for Stevia's "Bitterness"?

The stevia plant has two parts to it: rebaudioside and stevioside.

While both parts can produce a bitter aftertaste for some folks, rebaudioside
contains the least, and is barely detectable.

Stevioside, by itself, can produce a much more bitter taste.

Problem solved?

Not quite.

It's hard work just extracting the good stuff from the stevia plant.

So to save money, many big brand companies simply use the entire plant, and
that's mainly why some folks are disappointed with the aftertaste.

Well, a few months ago I heard about a small company that was producing their
own version of Stevia, but ONLY using the non-bitter stuff.

That's why Kalen and I have added "Slimtevia" to our healthy sugar-alternative arsenal.

Healthy sugar-alternative with no bitter aftertaste... <<< Click here

Here's why we are loving Slimtevia and I think you will be too:

1. It's 3X Sweeter! Slimtevia is three times sweeter than sugar (so you use less of it)...

...of course it's also more healthful, and can help weight loss and fight
diabetes since it doesn't spike your blood sugar.

and

2. It's 19% cheaper! For a product that only uses the sweetest, most expensive part of the Stevia plant, Slimtevia is actually 19% cheaper than many leading Stevia brands, ounce for ounce. Bonus!

So you're ready to run out to your local health food store and try some of this
great tasting, fat-fighting stuff for yourself?

Not so fast, Kimosabe...

You won't find Slimtevia in your local supermarkets (not yet anyway), and not even the all-natural stores.

The only way to get it right now is directly through a partnership we have with the supplier (which keeps the price low, as there are no distributors involved).

Healthy sugar-alternative with no bitter aftertaste... <<< Click here

I don't have to tell you... sugar cravings can be HARD to fight...

...and sometimes if you fight them too hard, you can find yourself in the middle
of an all-out sugar binge way too often.

If you are looking to put an end to that without the chance of a bitter
aftertaste, I think you'll really love sweetening your day without the risks with a
little Slimtevia.

Enjoy and I'll be back soon with more fast fit tips,
Rob

Why this substance in your softdrinks is embalming you day by day

Live healthy and long

From Dr. Mercola archives

I used to buy cases of this softdrink and my ref was loaded with these cans to quench my thirst.  Whenever I go to a restaurant, even a fine dining restaurant, I order this type of softdrink.

Little did I know, that I am being embalmed everytime I drink this softdrink (or softdrink laced with this substance) I am sorry, big top Fortune 500 company for posting this.

The byproduct of this subtance as absorbed by the body is methanol which is transformed into formalin, an embalming substance.

The substance is aspartame.  My family physician used to tell me that it is not carcinogenic.  It is not, but it embalms my intestines every time I drink it.

This substance embalms you everytime you drink this

If you want to be refreshed:  drink water, pure water or fruit drinks.  Or fruits and water

3 things that can destroy your metabolism and make you fat

Live healthy and long

From Rob Poulos

There are three things that can spoil our metabolism and make you fat:

l.  Caffeine with lots of sugar.  Coffee is preferred not to be taken with fructose sugar.  Too much sugar make you insensitve to insulin causing your body to pump out more insulin.  Too much insulin makes for he lower production of pectin, your fat is not metabolized.  Eating liquid carbs and not real carbs make you crave for more food.

2.  Artificial sweeteners:   sucrolose (splenda) and aspartame (sweet and low, equal,) are tough on thyroid, and cause hypothyroidism.  It means low metabolism leading to more fats  Moreover, they cause more production of cortisol, and cortisol makes you retain fat even in a low calorie state. Try lemon, cucumber with water. or the latest:  stevia.

3. Are you listening to your body?

Your office work may lull you into inactivity and may ignore what the body is trying to tell you:  be active.  Some signs:  slumping, yawning,  feeling tense or anxious,

Read more on your body's metabolism and fat loss

3.  Little or no exercise

Is aspartame in your softdrink with Zero ill effect?

Live healthy and long

From Dr Mercola

It is called by various names when used in food preparation:  sugar free, sugar less, zero sugar, diet, light.  Its safety in food is assured by FDA, but various research says otherwise.

It is a synthetic sweeter, hardly natural or made of amino acid. It is composed of  aspartic acid, and phenylalanine, and held together by methyl ester bond.  The problem is that when ingested, the substance releases methanol which is also known as wood alcohol and passes through the blood brain barrier and becomes formalaldehyde and  formic acid which we know is used as embalming fluid.

Methanol damages the myelin sheath of the nerves, which are insulators for neuro conduction of impulses.  Formalaldehyde is toxic and carcinogenic.

Aspartame damages your brain and may cause craving contributes to obesity

Live healthy and long

From Dr. Mercola

This is about filmmaker Cori Brackett documentary "Sweet Misery:  a Poisoned World"  In 2002, Cori was diagnosed to have multiple sclerosis. She discovered that her MS was caused by aspartame  Much to her dismay, she found the modern medicine to have no answer/cure for her disease.

Many of the diseases fibromyaglia, tumors, lupus, nuerologic disorder come from poisoned food supply.  Across the country, there are people working hard to detoxify, remove toxic food supply

Widely Promoted to Help You Slim Down, But New Study Says it's a Flab-Making Nightmare










This product is advertised to contain no sugar and thus will help you slim you down.  But in reality, studies have shown this be false.  This product is supposed to decrease insulin sensitivity but in studies it does not.  Those who were fed this gained weight, and has the same GI as ordinary sugar.

The product is common in soft drink and heavily vaunted to be healthy. It is aspartame and found in most 0 calorie food and drinks
