Are Diet Foods Healthy? Let us hear the one major
answer, after first asking another question.- How many so-
called Diet Foods contain 'aspartame'? 4,000 , maybe
6,000, of the food and drink items offered thru-out an
average large grocery supermarket. Now, let us keep this
little article 'dangerously sweet and low to the point'.
What is aspartame? Some know it by the name of Equal,
NutraSweet, Spoonfull, or another dozen or so, made up,
safe and healthy sounding diet promoting superlatives. But
here is what it really is made up of: 3 chemicals, and they
are 'aspartic acid', 'phenylalanine', and 'methanol'.
Thus, I would most definitely call it a Chemical Poison.
Without great technical detail, it is by far the most
dangerous food additive placed in our grocery / food supply
today. Aspartame causes over 70% of adverse reactions to
food additives reported to the U.S. FDA,- including
headaches, siezures, nausea, numbness, depression, fatigue,
hearing and vision loss, anxiety, breathing problems,
memory loss, joint pain, and believe it or not, weight
gain. Ha! But not funny at all. Some chronic illnesses that
can be worsened or triggered by eating aspartame include:
epilepsy, brain tumors, chronic fatigue syndrome, M.S.,
lymphoma, birth defects, fibromyalgia, Sjogren's Syndrome,
diabetes, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's. The amino acids,
aspartic acid, and phenylalanine, ingested in much quantity
can cause serious problems alone. But what of the
ingredient 'methanol'? Methanol-(wood-grain alcohol), is
a deadly poison! In the body it breaks down into 'formic
acid' and 'formaldehyde'- a deadly neurotoxin! Why is
this allowed to be placed in so much of our food supplies?
Is it really safe? Of course not. What is going on here,
that our Federal government and the Food and Drug
Administration would allow this? Imagine,- cancer;
diabetes; birth defects; emotional and serious mood
disorders; autoimmune disorders, etc. The findings and
proofs are out there. And, artificial sweeteners will not
only NOT help you to lose weight, but will actually make
you fat! Yes, maybe a very few diet foods may be o'k, but
safe? At least not the money pumping adulterated Aspartame
foods. Most people do not associate their symptoms with the
long-term use of aspartame, and since I am trying to be
brief this time, anyone seeking more information or
directions to the facts and findings, may contact me. How
aspartame was approved is a lesson in how chemical and
pharmaceutical companies can manipulate our government
agencies and health related organizations. It might be best
if we tried to eat more natural live foods, unprocessed,
and without the poisonous fantasyland additives, which
actually destroy proper health maintenance. - (gorillas-
