Natural Alternatives Better Than The Artificial Poison Aspartame

Did you know that this poison (Aspartame) was approved in our Government , through a political favor, go figure . Just like everything else that gets passed . The federal Government refused to pass this for 16 years, until someone wanted to line there pockets.Now the big food giants are fighting to keep on the shelves and its in just about everything you buy relating to diet food .
Also, did you know that by consuming this fake sweetener , it can actually make you fatter.
just when you thought that you had the battle of the bulge beat . Its because it makes you crave carbohydrates , so there in turn you gain weight.
They are putting this poison in everything that they can and now it’s been linked to brain cancer, memory loss, impaired vision, hearing loss, joint pain, asthma, coma, seizures… ?
To qoute “Beyond a shadow of a doubt, aspartame triggers brain tumors”and, “therefore, by allowing aspartame to be placed on the market the FDA has violated the Delaney Amendment, which forbids putting anything in food that is know to cause cancer… And if the FDA itself elects to violates its own the law, who is left to protect the health of the public?”
You must be warned that the FDA has compiled a list of 92 yes 92 symptoms from Aspartame - even Death ! An endless list of complications , such as :
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… all because aspartame attacks your body at the cellular level , therefore it cancels out any medications you might be taking ,including antidepressants, Coumadin, cardiac drugs, hormones, insulin, vaccines, and many others.
It is a deadly neurotoxic drug masquerading as a harmless additive.
So buy using common sense and making a choice of natural alternatives like Stevia is a much better. Stevia is becoming so well known now that the big food giants are trying to bet in on the act . Replace your other artificial sweeteners with stevia .You can bake with it use it in your cereal . It comes in a Liquid for drinks and the like and powders or granulated .
When it comes to your health , you can make a difference , don’t let them feed you a load of crap like they are trying to do.
With our nation’s problem with obesity in any age of today, artificial sweeteners have a place for people who consume more calories than they should from sweets,” says Gans. “But artificial sweeteners should not take over your diet because that means you’re eating way too many processed foods.
One advantage Stevia has over others like Sweet N’ Low, Equal and Splenda is that it is not made artificially in a lab.
Stevia, is a sweetener made from the leaves of a South American shrub .Recently the Food and Drug Administration approved its use in December of 2008 to be classified as a sweetener (it was only a dietary supplement).
Though stevia is yet to get the official approval in Europe, the Japanese have been using it for the last 30 years.
So what does stevia have that the other sweeteners don’t? For starters, liquid stevia is 10 to 15 times sweeter than regular table sugar. Stevia gets its sweetness from glycosides - a combination of glucose (a form of sugar) and stevia. In the stevia plant, Stevioside has the largest concentration of glycoside. Stevioside constitutes nearly 10 percent of the dried stevia plant, and is nearly 300 times as sweet as sugar. Stevia has also one distinct advantage over other sweeteners- it’s a true blue natural sweetener.Stevia is a low calorie and natural sweetener, making it perfect for new age types, who want the zero calories without the chemicals.
You don’t have to wait for Coke or Pepsi to try stevia though, it’s inexpensive and available right now. Try the packets or liquid to sweeten foods and drinks.
Stevia is sweet, but if you use a lot of it, you begin to pick up a characteristic stevia taste, which is similar to licorice or fennel. It’s not unpleasant, but it does means that stevia works great in certain things - iced or hot teas, plus gingerbread and other spicey-sweet foods - but not so well in others, like coffee, cereals or protein shakes. For that, you should try other natural alternatives like xylitol or erythritol both of which are 100% natural and safe, both of which look and taste like sugar, both of which contribute only a small fraction of sugar’s calories and most importantly, have next-to-no impact on your blood sugar levels.
