Aspartame is one of the most carcinogenic chemicals commonly used today, and you will find it in drinks such as diet colas and the artificial sweeteners you find in supermarkets in the sugar section. Aspartame is more toxic than some narcotic drugs, yet it is legal. Aspartame is used in more than 9000 products yet it has been linked to asthma, cancer, multiple sclerosis symptoms, anxiety, impotence, Parkinson’s disease, seizures, and more. In fact, it is linked to at least about 18 serious diseases or conditions and many other minor ones. More than 9,000 different foods and pharmaceuticals now contain aspartame and they do not even mention this on the label. The story of aspartame and its creation is very interesting in a twisted way. If you look on the Internet, you will find numerous articles and scientifically published papers that clearly show the dangers of aspartame. Today, the places where you find aspartame most commonly are in the diets drinks such as diets colas, and in artificial sweeteners such as Nutrasweet and Canderel. The reason why aspartame raises so much concern and also causes so many problems and illnesses is because aspartame is actually, scientifically speaking, a member of a group of chemicals that are called excitotoxins and what this group of chemicals does is that it stimulates the neurons and nervous system and makes it fire excessively. When used in sufficient quantities, these chemicals fatigue and kill the nervous system by making it fire excessively. And that is why it is listed as such a dangerous chemical. Aspartame is actually composed of the ingredients a methyl ester, aspartic acid, and phenylalanine. Now listen to how dangerous these three ingredients are. Once it gets into the body, methanol is always converted to formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is that chemical that you find in laboratories that is used to embalm and preserve dead bodies. Now when you split aspartic acid and phenylalanine, you get a neurotoxin. The phenylalanine itself also carries some damage that includes the depletion of serotonin, increased mood swings, and the lowering of the seizure threshold. When it breaks down, aspartame also releases a chemical that is a brain tumor promoter. Okay, time for a pop quiz. Which is one of the companies that is involved in producing and marketing aspartame to the public? Monsanto. What else is Monsanto known for? Monsanto is one of the world’s biggest producers of genetically modified foods, and it is a large producer of many other kinds of chemicals that go into foods and food production. What else is it known for? Pesticide production! Ok, which is one of the biggest soft drink markets in the world? Diet drinks. Diet drinks are one of the biggest revenue producers for food companies on this planet. And you cannot have diets colas without a sweetener. And so they mainly chose aspartame (and the labels usually don’t say). It is such a multibillion dollar business that a lot of power and money are involved and yet again you see a reason why something that is otherwise insane has become so widespread and with very little information being passed on about it. The government actually protects the companies that produce these toxins. The FDA, based on questionable "evidence", approved it. Aspartame has actually been seen to contribute to the weight problem even though it is used in diets colas. Although it does not cause overweight issues in the same way that sugar does, it causes it by introducing very harmful toxins to the body. Excess toxins are often stored in the body in fat, and this is what contributes to the excess weight issues.  TopBack Next Your comment |
