Aspartame
The sweet and deadly deception!

Like most people, in my younger years I reached for a sugar substitute, mainly aspartame, because I believed what I'd been told; it's harmless, safe and FDA approved and it would save you from the massive weight gain caused by sugar, and that it would even help you with your efforts to lose extra pounds. It was a badge of honor to always order diet soft drinks...it showed anyone who was interested that you were concerned about your health, our weight (never mind having it with a burger and fries!)

But we've been duped by crafty advertising and the real effects of this and other artificial sweeteners is still in it's experimental phase... with the mass experiments being conducted on us the public. So in an effort to set the record straight, know this; Aspartame is one of the most dangerous substances ever added to food. Not only has aspartame been proven to make you fatter, it's been proven to cause some pretty serious diseases, not the least of which are cancer and neurological diseases, vision distress.

And the proof is on file already. Aspartame has brought more complaints to the FDA than any other additive-ever. It's responsible for a full 75 percent of the complaints the agency gets. From 10,000 consumer complaints, the FDA compiled a list of 92 symptoms, including death. The food industry darling that's sure to increase your appetite, your waistline, and your medical bills The marketing geniuses would have you think it's harmless, and even health food, but the truth paints a very different picture. Over the years, various reports have implicated aspartame as causing:

• headaches
• memory loss
• seizures
• vision loss
• coma
• cancer

  It also appears to worsen or mimic the symptoms of such conditions as:

  • fibromyalgia
  • MS
  • lupus
  • ADD
  • diabetes
  • Alzheimer's
  • chronic fatigue
  • depression

    Aside from these risks, now there's even more proof that these toxins are MAKING US FAT! Some recent research conducted at Purdue University shows that a group of test subjects fed artificial sweeteners subsequently consumed THREE TIMES THE CALORIES of those given ordinary sugar.

    Please do some homework on this product and other artificial sweeteners…the key word here is artificial. If the body does not recognize it as food…you shouldn’t be ingesting it. As always, eat as close to the earth as possible; boxed, canned, frozen, pre-made, pre-packaged, artificial is never as good as fresh.

    Dr. Oz recommends this sweetener, and so do I. It is wonderful, I use it in anything and everything that needs a bit of sweetening. It doesn’t raise blood glucose as fast as honey or raw sugar and it enhances the flavor of what it is sweetening… give it a try.
