Not the right category but still posted it for the benefit of the members. Will be very happy if you can make wide publicity of such products.
What is common in all Diet Soft Drink? ASPERTAME - a not -so-good chemical that is being used as sweetening agent Why it is being used to replace sugar? Because we feel sugar is having higher calorie and so it is toxic to our body. Aspartame is several times sweeter than sugar having fewer calories in it BUT several times more toxic than sugar.
Aspartame can be compared with Cyanide and Arsenic. Only difference is it is sweet and does not kill instantly. It will suck slowly and take the life out of the body. Artificial sweeteners like Equal, Sugar Free contain this Deadly Chemical.
How it works?
*One of the toxic ingredients of Aspartame is Methanol also called as wood alcohol. This wood alcohol in the Aspartame is converted into formaldehyde, when temperature of Aspartame exceeds 30 degree Celsius or 86 degrees F, and then to formic acid, and the problem continue. Smaller quantity of Formaldehyde, a declared Carcinogen, will remain in the body. According to the literature available to me Aspartame contain phenylalanine. Phenylalanine in the Aspartame breaks down the seizure threshold and depletes Serotonin, and out come of this is Manic depression, Panic at tacks, Rage, and Violence.”
What happens?
*Aspartame is marketed through out the world as a diet product. However, in the contrary it is not a diet product. In reality, you may gain weight because you will consume more carbohydrates due to its characteristic. Weight gain is a not a very serious consequence in most of the cases but people suffer from very serious health problem due to consumption of this chemical. One can imagine what will happen to a person with diabetic disorders after consuming a Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi or anything having Aspartame. Methanol produced from Aspartame is nothing but a slow poison for him. Everyday we watch lot of advertisement of Sugar Free tablets that encourage viewers to replace sugar due to high calorie in it. This Sugar Free is free from sugar but loaded with Aspartame. So when you add a tiny tablet of Sugar Free in your tea or coffee it gets converted to some chemicals that are not at all suitable to any human being. There are many reputed brands in this category. Equal, Spoonful are few names that contain Aspartame. Aspartame consumers may suffer from diseases like Fibromyalgia symptoms such as spasms, shooting pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, joint pain, depression, anxiety at tacks, slur red speech, blur red vision or memory loss. There are several diseases that may be due to Aspartame Poisoning. Consuming Aspartame during pregnancy can cause birth defects.
The Aspartame attacks the nervous system and it does not allow the unborn child to develop properly. Do you remember Gulf War Syndrome? According to literature, symptoms were identical to that of Aspartame victims. Huge quantity of Aspartame was sent to the Gulf for the armed forces who were fighting for a cause. At a higher temperature in Gulf this compound might have decomposed before consumption and the poor consumers suffered miserable life while they were in the battlefield. Very few have suffered from Iraki Bullets but many of them suffered because of Aspartame. Please remember, these guys were one of the fittest persons on the earth both physically and mentally but still could not resist the ill affect of Aspartame.People suffering from Diabetics, Parkinson disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Migraine Pains should avoid this product by all means.
My Worries*
How do I know the presence of Aspartame in my food? This is a big problem. I will not be surprised to know that Aspartame is being used in one of my favorite soft drink or biscuit or any sweet product or even in some medicines. There is no rule in this country to declare Aspartame contain in such products except medicine. It may be the case in many other countries. Aspartame is being used widely even in countries like US and it is being manufactured there only. I am disturbed and feel sorry for those innocent growing kids who go for several kinds of sweet products available everywhere. Who knows the content in such food products? Knowledgably parents are also helpless.
Only Solution
*1. Stop consuming Aspartame contained products
In some case people have to switch over to Saccharine that is also not very friendly
Reduce or Control Sweet Intake so that one need not depend on Aspartame or Saccharine in future. Too much of carbohydrate intake may effect a person.
Create awareness so that people stop using it. More important is educating the Kids.
If you are a Physician or Nutritionist, please check the diet plan of your client.
