Aspartame (was Adrenal failure)

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

 

Aspartame can most certainly cause weight gain and/or stop weight loss.

Apparently it messes with the pancreas in some way... which is really

bad for healthy folks but even worse for someone with diabetes.

Aspartame is a dangerous poison and causes many, many health problems

besides weight. Other countries are getting wise to this and have

either banned Aspartame or never approved its use in the first place.

Maybe if people complain and boycott and draw more public attention to

this problem, we could succeed in banning it in the US and getting it

out of all our food and drinks.

 

Please, if you are still consuming this toxin, try to eliminate it from

your diet as much as possible and as soon as possible.

 

Peace,

Dieting Without Aspartame?

 

In a cruel and ironic twist, aspartame may actually cause weight gain.

Phenylalanine and aspartic acid, found in aspartame, stimulate the

release of insulin. Rapid, strong spikes in insulin remove all glucose

from the blood-stream and store it as fat. This can result in

hypoglycemia and sugar cravings. Additionally, it has been demonstrated

to inhibit carbohydrate induced synthesis of the neurotransmitter

serotonin, which signals that the body is satiated. Inhibition of

serotonin leads to food cravings, increased carbohydrate consumption

and, ultimately, weight gain. In a recent study, a control group

switching to an aspartame-free diet resulted in an average weight loss

of 19 pounds.

that women who drank diet pop gained more weight than those who didn't. And,

that the more diet pop they drank, the more weight gain they had.

also eat more processed " diet " foods that often advertise as being " low fat " but

often have more sugar and empty calories than non-diet versions.
