An Aspartame Experiment

An Aspartame Experiment

• invisiblechef 16 years ago
  At first I was thinking how horrible it was for these rats to be 'tortured' like this. And I do think that still, as they are not willingly putting this into their mouths as so many people are even when they know it's not good for them, what is wrong with the FDA?
  
  Aspartame is not just in diet soda as you will read on the first page, this experiment was done by a women whose family was addicted to diet soda and she wanted to see for herself just how bad it was for her and her families health.

  I decided a long long time ago when these products first came around that I would never consume any artificial sweetener and now that you have enlightened me. I am glad I adopted this policy.
  
  The FDA approved DDT along with many many strange harmful drugs and herbicides, pesticides all for prosperity for the American farmers. It all lead to soil erosion and a toxic environment that produces a huge amount of poisonous food, through out the entire food chain.

  I was standing in line at the grocery store and noticed they have this new gum I think from Dentyne and on the front it says " now with Xlyitol" but when I turned it over aspartame was still listed toward the bottom as one of the ingredients, why? I can only find one gum that just has peppermint and xlyitol and that is in the health food isle of my store. And another thing I'm upset about is they ( I'm not sure who they would be" but I"m going to look into it, took away Zingers to go! it was the one flavored tea powder that I could find in the store made with Stevia, I can only find it on Amazon but the price for shipping it is crazy. I'm going to talk to my grocery store manager and find out what happened, it's not even at Super Supplements.
  
  You know in Japan they have been using Stevia for over 20 years in their products, much as we use aspartame here, why aren't we? There are no side effects, it's actually been known to regulate blood pressure. I'm going to post some information on sugar substitutes through a new topic. I already did a bunch of research for another group I go too that wasn't too happy about me sharing this information on aspartame, so to make them feel better I added alternatives- I should have done that here too and will.

  I meant to say "known to regulate blood sugar levels" and is safe for diabetics too.

  I try to use natural alternative and avoid chemical substitutes of any kind. Stevia so far has not bothered me, they sell it in bulk form to use for baking , in packets and as a liquid form at my health food store. To be honest I have yet to use it for baking yet.
  
  Marie you do a lot of research and post a lot of information if some people are upset then that is on them. There are many many people who grab up what is popular to save on calories and to them that is there goal period. They do not give a hoot if there are consequences down the road health wise. If the weight comes off That is all they care about and when I try to tell them they tell me their doctor told them tu use those products and that I am not a doctor or a nutritionist.
  
  Everyone has to make their own choices in life, I choose what I see as healthy and some one tells me it is not a good way to live. They are usually the same ones that are on ten different medications and out sick every month.
  I trust you more than I trust them, however I still look things up even when recommended by doctors.
  A chance of stroke to me is not a side effect. which was stated on one of the medications another was " May cause suicide" that was on an anti-depresent , to me. a side effect would be. You may feel better in the morning.
