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

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)

WARNING: Yellow packet sweetener contains CHLORINE (same as in your swimming pool)

What is this?  Sucralse.  Splenda.  Same chemical composition as DDT. (Is DDT toxic?)

Its known side effect is interfering with the good bacteria in the gut.  An imbalance of bacteria in the gut can cause a host of health problems.

The good news is that this can be treated with probiotics.  We have plenty:   balaw balaw, atsara, Kimchi

Subject: WARNING: Yellow packet sweetener contains CHLORINE (same as in your swimming pool)

Splenda, also known as sucralose, is an artificial, chemical sweetener.

Despite advertisements stating "Made from Sugar, so it Tastes like Sugar", which attempt to confuse consumers, Splenda is not natural and contains no elements of natural sugar.

The name sucralose, very similar to the natural sugar sucrose, is also extremely confusing to consumers...just one more way "big pharma" tries to pull the wool over your eyes into thinking this chemical sweetener is safe.

Fact is, there have been no long term studies done on surcralose and Splenda and there is no telling what devastating side effects could be in store for those who continue to put this unnatural chemical in their bodies daily.

You may also be surprised to learn that Splenda contains chlorine. Yes, the same chlorine that goes in swimming pools. And here's the worst side effect:

Just like chlorine kills off micro-organisms in swimming pools, Splenda and sucralose kill off healthy bacteria that lives in your gut -- healthy bacteria that is vitally important to virtually every aspect of your health.

Recently, a study at the University of Duke confirmed this very finding. Not only is sucralose a heavily-processed, chemical artificial sweetener, but it's also damaging to your gut health, which goes on to affect every other aspect of your health.

Here's a direct quote from that study:

"Splenda suppresses beneficial bacteria and directly affects the expression of the transporter P-gp and cytochrome P-450 isozymes that are known to interfere with the bioavailability of nutrients. Furthermore, these effects occur at Splenda doses that contain sucralose levels that are approved by the FDA for use in the food supply."

Did you know that over 80% of your immune system finds it's home in your gut? In fact, there are more than 100 TRILLION living bacteria in your gut that control many aspects of your health, and due to things like the ingestion of artificial sweeteners like Splenda, most folks have created a massive bacterial imbalance in their body.

But, it doesn't just stop with the use of Splenda or other artificial sweeteners. Here are some other common items that are contributing to the bacterial imbalances that BILLIONS of folks are silently suffering from all around the world:

*Antacids
*Diet beverages and food items (remember, sucralose is added to MANY foods, beverages, and supplements as a sweetener beyond just those little yellow packets that you may use in your coffee)
*Ibuprofen
*Antibiotics
*Laxatives
*Alcohol consumption
*Processed, packaged foods
*Certain brands of mouth wash, chewing gum, dishwasher detergent, and toothpaste
*Non-organic fruits and vegetables
*Non-organic meats
*Non-organic dairy products
*Sugar

If you are in contact with any of these items, it could be contributing to a serious imbalance in your gut bacteria and an overall decline in your health.

What's more, if you suffer from irregular bowel movements, constipation, gas, bloating, acid reflux, indigestion, skin problems, overall sickness, bad breath, fatigue, urinary tract infections, sugar cravings, and/or an inability to lose weight, these symptoms are a near telltale sign that your gut bacteria is ALREADY severely imbalanced and has literally become a ticking time bomb.

But even worse, here are some of the more serious consequences that can result from gut imbalances left unaddressed:

*Severe irritable bowel syndrome and extreme daily discomfort
*Serious skin disorders like eczema and psoriasis
*A constant battle with ongoing fatigue and low energy levels
*A life full of chronic sickness and pain due to a declining immune system
*Cirrhosis and cancer of the liver
*Metabolic syndrome
*Diabetes

Fortunately, you can correct imbalances in bad bacteria by supplementing with "good" bacteria known as probiotics. In fact, research is now suggesting that supplementing with a quality probiotic supplement every single day just may be even more important for your health and longevity than taking a daily multivitamin...the problem is finding a quality product that overcomes the pitfalls of most probiotic supplements.

You may not know this, but more than 93% of the probiotics found in traditional probiotic products will be dead by the time they reach your gut (the "final destination" that they must reach alive and well in order to provide you with their beneficial properties).

Because probiotics are living organisms, they are also very fragile and sensitive to light, heat, and the extremely acidic environment of your stomach, leaving you with very little live probiotics to benefit from once they reach their home in your intestinal track.

To combat this massive problem, at BioTrust nutrition we developed an extremely unique micro-encapsulated probiotic product called Pro-X10 that protects each probiotic cell through a wide range of environments to ensure that you get what you pay for - live, active probiotic cells that can make all the difference in your health.

But, it gets even better. Also included is Actazin, an extract of the New Zealand Kiwifruit and one of the most powerful probiotic support nutrients of all time. Actazin supports the natural growth of "good" bacteria in your gut, helps keep your bowel movements regular, and assists in maintaining long-term digestive health including the restoration of damaged intestinal lining.

Beyond that, we've included a number of unique probiotic strains in Pro-X10 that provide additional benefits like oral health, constipation relief, and immune defense, easily making Pro-X10 the #1 probiotic on the market.

And even better, when you decide to invest in Pro-X10 today, we're going to give you a special "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" deal along with a free copy of the ultra-successful 7 Day Rapid Fat Loss Diet.

Why you should NEVER use Splenda (dangerous health warning)

I used to buy Splenda by a boxful (500 packages) being a confirmed diabetic.  However ever sincle learning that it is sucralose and akin to DDT, I am avoiding this like a plague.  So it is entirely sugar free diet (no sugar) or little brown sugar.  Would you believe this write up on Splenda?

Stevia would be better choice now.

Fwd: Do Zero Sweeteners Make you Fat?

                             
                                  

This is a post from Truth About Abs.com of Mike Geary.

The question being posed is about 4 artificial sweeteners -  do they make you fat?

What are they?

                                  

> Aspartame  (made from excreta of E.coli bacteria)

>  Saccharine

>  Splenda (sucralase)  (it is a compound synthesized from carbon and chlorine, which is a light pesticide)

>  Acesulfame Potassium (Acesulfame K)

The battle between High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) and artificial sweetener is a battle between two evils!!


Since they are artificial molecules devoid of calories, they actually make you crave for reall calories, and cause you to gain weight.

Aside from that, the following are attributed to these substances:

                         


l.  GIT problems,

2.  may cause cancer

3.  cause more food cravings

4.  negative effects on kidney, liver and other organs

5,  head aches

6.  embryonic development


                                  
              

The article recommends the use of Stevia, which 200-300 times stronger than natural sugar.  Or honey or maple syrup, or sorghum sugar.  In the Philippines, there is coconut sugar

Hey there, it's Mike Geary here with your latest Lean-Body Secrets Ezine.

Today, I wanted to talk about artificial sweeteners today because I've noticed that there's a lot of confusion and misconceptions revolving around these non-caloric sweeteners. Artificial sweeteners and the huge list of products sweetened with them are marketed to you relentlessly as "healthy foods" or "healthier" than sugar or corn syrup sweetened products. But are they really?

Read today's article below:
