aspartame

I went to a health fair yesterday. I was quite humored to find they were giving away a high fiber cereal. It contained of all things aspartame. If you are not familiar with this product it is a poison. I can't beleive it was lurking in a breakfast cereal. A healthy whole grain cereal. I threw it away as soon as I looked at the ingrediants. I can't tell you what cereal it is right now. If I find another one lurking around then I will post it. Aspartame is in many low fat or diabetic foods. It causes aspartame poisoning. If any doctor tells you or someone you know that their liver and /or kidneys are shutting down, and they don't know why, ask them if they drink diet soda. It has aspartame in it. The unfunny thing about aspartame is doctors tell diabetics that it is a good thing. It doesn't have sugar. What they fail to say is it raises and drops their glycemic index. It could also kill you. A diabetic could use stevia a natural sweetener found at a health food store. It has a low glycemic index. An even better alternative to stevia is Agave Nectar. It doesn't have a glycemic index. Aspartame is even in bottled water. My advice is drink regular water. Selter water with grape juice,or some juice or a flavoring. You are better off drinking something with sugar instead of aspartame. If it causes tumors in labratory mice after their 30 day or 90 day experiments are over you know their just isn't something right about this product. It also caused fertility problems. Do you think this is a good product to market? If they weren't making so much money off of this product do you think they are going to say it is bad?
snippet for the day---Why is it that when someone tells you something is bad for you, your reply is usually," Oh, but that doesn't affect me?"

  1. I like using SweetLeaf Sweetener Stevia. I understand it is the only stevia brand or sweetener on the market with 0 calories, 0 carbs, and a 0 glycemic index! Stevia also has great health benefits!
