Aspartame – It puts the DIE in Diet Soda + 6000 other products
Aspartame: Is the sweet taste worth the harm? www.foodmatters.tv You can't imagine how hard soft drinks sweetened with Aspartame are on your body. A must-see for anybody with a sweet tooth, this exposé reveals the dangers of Aspartame consumption. Americans constantly obsess over the latest diet fads and skinny trends, yet we're one of the unhealthiest nations on the planet. According to the US Surgeon General, obesity plagues more than 30% of Americans, killing over 300000 people every year! Heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are also all on the rise, with one of the main culprits in this disturbing trend being sugar. Almost 20% of our daily calorie intake comes from refined white sugar. That works out to about 150 pounds of sugar per year! Consumed in small amounts, sugar actually helps your metabolism and supplies a quick boost of energy. In excess, sugar adds nothing but empty calories to your body. Many people have recognized this and now opt for sugar free alternatives, allowing for the rise of the artificial sugar industry. The most prevalent artificial sugar in our food supply today is called aspartame, which is also recognized as NutraSweet or Equal. Aspartame has made its way into more than 6000 products including almost all diet sodas, chewing gum, frozen desserts, yogurt, and even vitamins and cough drops. 200 times sweeter than sugar, aspartame is a combination of two amino acids: aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Even though the safety of aspartame has been ...

@visualkeirockstar I’m not saying that it’s not sweets or junk food, I just thought you might be very surprised about dairy products too! For me and my son it was dairy.

Learn how to pronounce phenylalanine and maybe I’ll take this message seriously.

Dont use aspertame products…go to my site and click the link on an alternative using stevia…I ve lost 30 pounds since I cut back on sugar/chemical sweetners and started using some of the healthy products on my site

@visualkeirockstar A lot of junk food can cause acne and you’re body is very sensitive to the chemicals in it, from what you’re saying. Some people eat in moderation and have no troubles or side effects from any of these chemicals in our food but some are very sensitive to them.

@thedancetuber Yea, I won’t fall for it being that I’ve never taken vaccines and it wasn’t forced, at least not in California.

@cosmosgod Sugar can be found naturally in fruits and other foods but more so Fructose(sugar from fruit), you don’t need all of these chemicals. They’re(artifical sugar) just cheaper to make and can get people hooked to buy their products. You’re better off using real sugar.
June 15th, 2010 - 03:38
@UMakeTheConnection Stop consuming sugars, natural too? What about sugar found in fruit, Fructose?

@HybridD91 thanks

@HybridD91 There is a good video out titled “Sugar – The Bitter Truth” If you ever have the time, it’s worth watching. Fructose is NOT good when consumed in processed products. Our body doesn’t know how to handle fructose without the fruit itself.
This is the link to the video…. it starts out dry, but believe me, it is very informative.

Thank goodness I was never much of a diet soda lover. Right now I almost never drink soft drinks except when I go to the movies, but even then, I’ve been wanting to cut that out, too.

soon as she said chewing gum i spit mine out…..eww its in everything
August 6th, 2010 - 02:13
@AzulDiamond93 It`s in ALL chewing gum whether is says so or not… If you can find double bubble it has high fructose corn syrup. You can`t win… unless you can find GLEE – ALL NATURAL GUM. Health food stores only. What has this world come to where everything we put in our mouth is toxic in on form or another.
Eat lots of fruits and vegs in it`s natural form… keep it simple and clean and pure and you will be far healthier than most ;o) Hugs and cheers DD

USE HONEY.
USE RAW SUGAR; it has Chromium in it which helps digest the sucrose.
Try to avoid refined sugar, but if it is a choice between sugar and Aspartame/Nutrasweet, ALWAYS go with the sugar.
I’ve been following Aspartame story since around 1980. At that time I saw reports that it causes brain lesions. The next month they renamed it NutraSweet.
The stuff is NASTY.
ALWAYS look on the packaging to see what the sweetener is.
Also avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup.

A friend showed me the ingredients on a jello box..In dark letters at bottom it said it contains Phenylaline..did a check on it, this ingredient is used to treat depression, attention deficit disorder, Parkinson’s disease..I was shocked. I also learned it being in gum, I just threw out my pack. They’re killing us folks!

@UMakeTheConnection Chewing gum fools your digestive system and it starts digesting food that isn’t there! You seem aware. Do you still eat tortured dead animals? I like road kill! lol I put the little squirrels in my blender and drink them while they are still FRESH! LOL Actually, I am over 30 year veggie, and over 5 year vegan/raw foodist. I NEVER GET SICK,(over 14 years) AND I HAVE 1,000 X THE CONSCIOUSNESS of most DRONES!
August 17th, 2010 - 18:43
@HybridD91 EXACTLY!!!! EAT 100% RAW/LIVING FOODS. NO DEAD ANIMALS!!!!

well for at least 2 years i use to drink huge amounts of diet coke, a few times 6 cans in one day
i was a teen and I’m definitely more health conscious since then
but does this mean i’ve pretty much ruined my long term health?
