Guest guest Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 The Sweetest Scandal in the History of American Health (BALTIMORE, JULY 2007) The shocking truth of how a political " favor " got the government to approve this poison -- and why aspartame is making us sicker and fatter than good old sugar ever could! Ever wonder what our former Secretary of Defense did before he got into politics? He was the leader of a company called GD Searle Corp. that developed a " miracle sweetener " called aspartame. For years, this company tried in vain to get aspartame approved. But no one wanted to go near the stuff! The FDA refused to approve it for 16 years. In fact the late Dr. M. Adrian Gross, a former senior FDA toxicologist, stated in his testimony before Congress: " Beyond a shadow of a doubt, aspartame triggers brain tumors " It gets worse... In the early '80s, " Rummy the Magnificent " moved into the political arena. And one of the first moves he made was to appoint a new FDA commissioner. And guess what he did? In 1981, the new appointee approved aspartame for the good old boys back at GD Searle...despite the clinically proven dangers. Before long, aspartame was everywhere, from soda to salad dressing! Now let's look at what it's " contributed " to America's health... Some of 92 reasons why aspartame makes sugar look like a " good guy " ... For starters, medical authorities estimate that aspartame has brought more complaints to the FDA than any other additive. In fact, it's responsible for as many as 75 percent of such complaints to that agency. And, after receiving some 10,000 consumer complaints, the FDA compiled a list of 92 symptoms linked to aspartame -- including death. Headaches, memory loss, seizures, vision loss, coma, and cancer. It also appears to worsen or mimic the symptoms of such conditions as fibromyalgia, MS, lupus, ADD, diabetes, Alzheimer's, chronic fatigue, and depression... Why so many? It could be because aspartame attacks your body at the cellular level so it can negate all kinds of medications Americans take, including antidepressants, Coumadin, cardiac drugs, hormones, insulin, vaccines, and many others. It is a deadly neurotoxic drug masquerading as a harmless additive. And to add insult to injury... Aspartame could makes you hungrier and fatter! One medical investigator, Dr. H. J. Roberts, even concludes that aspartame has caused our obesity epidemic. He gives evidence that this " guilt-free " sweetener secretly makes you crave carbohydrates which, of course, make you gain weight. How? Possibly it may trigger or over stimulate the stomach's production of ghrelin, also known as the " hunger hormone. " If this hypothesis turns out to be correct, it will help to explain why all those " diet " sodas have never been much help in weight reduction. (In fact, just the opposite!) So why is the media mum? Simple. Because professional organizations and their publications have all been bought off. By who? The food giants. They all use this inexpensive imposter in huge quantities for their colas, desserts, candies, and other junk foods. And they're the ones who have financed a raft of studies " proving " the safety of aspartame. So what's safe and actually TASTES GOOD? SUGAR: A spoonful once in a while is fine, but in time, too much sugar can lead to diabetes, which will lead to heart disease, renal disease, peripheral vascular disease, diabetic retinitis (blindness), diabetic peripheral neuropathy and the list goes on and on. (Even so, next to aspartame, sugar looks almost attractive!) SUCRALOSE: A very dangerous new chemical -- because in order to make sucralose, chlorine is added to sugar! Ever spilled chlorine bleach on your skin? No wonder that research by the Sucralose Toxicity Information Center showed that years of sucralose use can lead to serious compromise of the immune system and neurological disorders. SACCHARINE: Yuck. Despite those famous animal studies, I actually don't count saccharine as much of a cancer threat to humans. But face it, saccharine tastes like the chemical experiment it is. Enough said. STEVIA: Yes, it's natural. Yes, it's safe. But no, it tastes nothing like sugar. Okay for some, but not in my coffee! XYLITOL: Almost gets a perfect score. Natural, tastes like sugar, good for your teeth, doesn't spike blood sugar. On the down side, it gives some folks the trots. Erythritol is natural, virtually calorie-free, tastes like sugar, doesn't affect blood sugar or insulin levels, reduces dental plaque -- and unlike xylitol, has no laxative side-effects. Organic Erythritol is a pleasant tasting bulk sweetener, which is suitable for a variety of reduced calorie and sugar free foods. It is present in a wide range of micro-organisms, plants, and animals. It is also present in the human body as well as being found in many foods as a naturally occurring substance. Erythritol has been part of the human diet for thousands of years due to its presence in fruits such as pears, melons and grapes as well as other foods such as mushrooms, wine, cheese and soy sauce. For many years, erythritol has been commercially produced and added to foods and beverages to provide sweetness as well as enhancing their taste and texture. Erythritol is a white crystalline powder that is odorless, with a clean sweet taste that is similar to sucrose. It is approximately 70% as sweet as sucrose and flows easily due to its non-hygroscopic character. BENEFITS OF ERYTHRITOL: • All Natural - Organic – GMO Free • Free of gluten, wheat & soy • Product of the USA • Zero Calories • Great for low carb diets • Safe for diabetics – Erythritol does not affect blood serum glucose or insulin levels. Zero glycemic index • High digestive tolerance – Erythritol is rapidly absorbed and eliminated from the body within 24 hours. Laxative side effects, sometimes associated with excessive polyol consumption, are unlikely when consuming foods containing erythritol. • Does not cause tooth decay – Inhibits plaque formation and cavities Remineralizes tooth enamel – controls S. Mutan bacteria • Tastes Great – Erythritol has a pleasant, clean taste with no aftertaste. • Does not encourage the growth of yeast, including candida albicans *Great for chocolate, baked goods, beverages. Can be mixed with other sugars. http://www.google.com/search?q=erythritol & sourceid=mozilla-search & start=0 & start=0 & ie=utf-8 & oe=utf-8 Radiating UNCONDITIONAL LOVE & Truth To ALL who share our circle, our universe, our love, our trust.
