I feel an obligation to my readers to share what I've learned about aspartame, and a new name manufacturers will be listing it under, Neotame. Aspartame is found in 1000's of products we use everyday, and with the new changes being allowed in ingredient labeling laws, we may not see it on the ingredients except under "natural flavors". Carmel coloring is another deadly ingredient that is listed as a natural flavor on many products including all cola beverages. You may want to read recent findings about it here. Carmel Coloring and Cancer
People, this is scary. Aspartame was originally named Neotex-II and was formulated for a chemical weapon. The chemist who developed it accidentally discovered it tasted sweet when he licked his finger. Aspartame is 40 times sweeter than sugar and is cheap to make. This poison causes brain tumors, birth defects, blindness, infertility, miscarriages, and tons of other breakdowns to the human body. It's a poison!!
Below is a video from Truther Girls, "Neotame: Chemical Weapon in your Coffee" that spells out the truth about what is in your diet beverages, and most all processed foods. It's time we all take responsibility for what we put in our bodies. You are better off using regular sugar but I caution you here, as well. The fact of the matter is that sugar, and high fructose sweeteners made from corn, are in my opinion, and many other natural health specialists, another form of "white death", too. If you are pregnant DO NOT use Aspartame. Do not consume or give your children chewing gum or diet drinks. Please read your labels and eat more real food. There's a reason they call it Die-t food.Neotame: Chemical Weapon in your Coffee
For more information and sources to read, Truther Girl has a post, "Neotame, a Sweet New Poison" you can check out for yourselves (below) about how this has been allowed in our foods and is killing us. It is eye opening, and I beg you to read it, and watch the video above. Please feel free to link back to me about this, and post this on your blogs or facebook pages. I welcome your comments and experiences with this white death masquerader.
"Neotame, a Sweet New Poison"
Thanks for posting this; you can't even chew a piece of gum nowadays without ingesting aspartame. Neurotoxin and carcinogen all rolled into one!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this.I have reactions to any sweetener but sugar, I get stomach craps and a burning in my stomach and throat .So thankfully I try to stay away from any products with this garbage in it. People didnt believe me & when I would eat something, that didnt even say had a artificial sweetener on the front of the container, I could tell. Even if it was a trace amount.They think if you cant taste it then it doesnt count. Well my body knew it was in there. I would flip the product over, read the ingredients and yup...there is was :(
ReplyDeleteOMG Crazy Squirrel Lady, me too!! Word for word. No one believes me, and tells me I just "don't like" diet soda or whatever. I am SO glad I've listened to my body instead of anyone else. I had no idea it was this bad for you... scary scary stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting. I already know this but it is good to have it verified by you. Eat the real thing and not much of it is my motto. Real butter, real sugar real anything...but in complete moderation.
ReplyDelete~Sue, You are so right! Just think about the children that have been given this crap by unsuspecting parents that think they're doing a good thing by not giving their kids real sugar. Thank you!
ReplyDelete~Crazy Squirrel Lady, Thank you for sharing this with us. The readers really identified with you about how it made you feel. Always, ALWAYS, trust your gut instincts about things like this. Hugzz!
ReplyDelete~Rachael, I'm so happy you read this! I'm happier that you listened to your body!! Everyone should educate themselves on what they're putting into their precious bodies. Kiss that sweet angel for me! Ummmm the big one, too. LOL
ReplyDelete~Healing Woman, Yep, you are so right! Moderation and Real is the key! If margarine won't melt off your knife after you've run hot, hot water on it, how do we expect it will melt inside our bodies? It won't, it'll just junk up the pipes.
ReplyDeleteThank you for putting good eating into a simple step!
LMAO I know I shouldn't laugh in this post because I believe in the seriousness of it but I just noticed that I wrote 'stomach craps' in my 1st post instead of stomach craMps...amounts to the same though :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks lille for addressing this important issue.Im going to post about this as well on my site now that you got the ball rolling.I hope you don't mind me posting a link to your site in my post :)
((( hugs )))
Wow. That's scary. And it's hard when we (and by "we" I mean "me") want to feel like we're eating better so we eat "diet" and "lite" foods. I know those chemicals are just toxic, toxic, toxic! But it's so hard to get away from them, especially being a pepsi junkie like I am...
ReplyDeleteSigh.
I need to make a better effort.
Thank you for sharing this. I read the labels but it is good to know there trying to change the name again, so will watch out for this one. Have jsut got my mum off sweetners and have been nagging her about for months. Trying to tell her she's taking poison.
ReplyDeleteThe food industry should be ashamed of themselves!
Hi Lille,
