The Top 10 Worst Sources of Aspartame

From: NaturalNews Millions of Americans still have no idea that many of the beverages and foods they eat on a regular basis are contaminated with a neurotoxin posing as a sugar substitute. So to help raise awareness about the pervasive presence of toxic aspartame in the American food supply, Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, has released a helpful infographic that identifies the top ten worst sources of aspartame.

The infographic highlights the use of aspartame in chewing gums, tabletop sweeteners, flavored water products, sugar-free foods and beverages, diet sodas, drink flavoring products, cooking sauces, children's medicines, yogurts, and cereals. And while these are not the only sources of aspartame in the food supply, they are among the most common.


You can also learn more about the dangers of aspartame by watching this powerful interview between Mike Adams and Dr. Russel Blaylock, the foremost authority on aspartame and other excitotoxic additives:

"At every point in the fertility process aspartame destroys, beginning with the gleam in Mom and Pop's eyes: it ruins female sexual response and induces male sexual dysfunction," wrote Dr. James Bowen, a neurologist and chemist. "Beyond this, aspartame disrupts fetal development by aborting it or inducing defects. And if a live child is born aspartame may have heinously damaged the DNA of the baby, cursing future generations."

This is just one of the many side effects of consuming aspartame, of course, but it is one of the most serious. Millions of people think that using aspartame instead of sugar will help them safely lose weight, when in fact aspartame is far more harmful than even processed sugars like high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS).

"Both amino acids in aspartame freely enter the arcuate nucleus (at low dose), cause inappropriate release of hormones, and at high dose actually destroy these regulatory neurons," says Dr. Madelon Price, another aspartame expert. "This is why sexual dysfunction is associated with aspartame."

Contrary to the claims made by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and others that aspartame is safe, a wealth of independent research has verified that aspartame is linked to causing autism spectrum disorders, neurological problems, birth defects, and gastrointestinal problems, among other things.

 

Toxic Splenda Essentials Falsely Marketed to Health-Conscious Consumers

Executed as a tactic to trick consumers, the Corn Refiners Association in 2010 decided to rename high-fructose corn syrup to ‘corn sugar’ as it would appear on food labels. The change was contrived by the organizations in response to millions of consumers recognizing the negative health consequences associated with the ingredient. Now, another sinister product is being marketed to the public differently, also because millions of consumers are recognizing the harm surrounding its consumption.

Splenda has been sold as a no calorie sweetener for years, and for years those who use it have been suffering from health consequences. Sucralose, sold under the brand name Splenda, is nothing but chlorinated sugar. While sugar itself is leading to numerous health complications, chlorine is employed as a biocide in bleach, disinfectants, and insecticides. Needless to say, consuming this chlorocarbon is ruining your health.

Instead of Splenda rightfully discontinuing their toxic creation, they have decided to make it sound even better for consumers. Splenda Essentials, a product being pushed on ‘health-conscious’ individuals, is packed full of vitamins and nutrients such as B vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. Unfortunately, you would need to consume inconceivable amounts for any positive health impact. Even if you were to benefit at all from the added vitamins, you are still consuming the highly toxic sucralose.

According to a Duke University study, Splenda has been shown to cause digestive imbalance by altering the microflora in the intestine while exerting other adverse effects. Nearly 200 studies have been conducted on Splenda, but only 10 percent (15 studies) looked at safety. 13 of those studies were funded by the creators of Splenda.

In “The Lethal Science of Splenda, a Poisonous Chlorocarbon,” Dr. Bowen explains how chlorocarbons like sucralose can cause cancer, birth defects, and immune system destruction. He goes on to say:

“Any chlorocarbons not directly excreted from the body intact can cause immense damage to the processes of human metabolism and, eventually, our internal organs. The liver is a detoxification organ which deals with ingested poisons. Chlorocarbons damage the hepatocytes, the liver’s metabolic cells, and destroy them.”

Unfortunately there is a high chance that you could fall victim to these negative health consequences even if you don’t use Splenda. Sucralose has been shown to be contaminating much of the nations waste water, surface water, and ground water. To determine the degree of its presence, researchers analyzed water samples from 19 US drinking water treatment plants (DWTP) which serve more than 28 million people. Sucralose was found in source water of 15 out of 19 water samples, finished water of 13 out of 17, and distribution system water of 8 out of 12.
