Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Which is why Canada uses actual sugar instead of fake sugars.

It is not a myth. It is a fact (about them being bad for you) :( fake sugars actually make you gain weight. Your body expects sugars but gets none so makes you eat more and crave more. Lots of bad stuff besides the fake sugars too.

I drink blood, is that bad?

Aspartame is made of the two amino acids, (phenylalanine and aspartic acid, which are even made and used in the body naturally) and the alcohol, methanol. All of the health concerns regarding this sweet supplement are a result of what those three things can do to the body.

It was found to have the same calories as sugar but taste 180x sweeter so we can use less of it. Intaking too much of anything can kill you, even water. That doesn't mean you should all just avoid water though.

As reported before, Aspartame has been shown time and again in studies (the ones not commissioned by the industry) to be bad for you.

Now yet another new study, this one published in the journal Redox Biology, has concluded what lots of other research over the past decades has shown time and again — aspartame, the popular sweetener in over 6,000 grocery store items, including everything from soup mixes to carbonated beverages to chewing gum — can essentially program your brain cells to kill themselves.

Key study findings include:

Aspartame administration alters the functional activity in the brain by elevating the antioxidant levels.
Chronic aspartame consumption altered the neuronal function and neurodegeneration in brain.
Observed changes may be due to the methanol or its metabolite.
Long-term FDA approved daily acceptable intake (40 mg/kg bwt) aspartame administration distorted the brain function and generated apoptosis in brain regions.

Apoptosis is defined as, “the process of programmed cell death in multicellular organisms. Biochemical events lead to characteristic cell changes and death.”

So even at the FDA acceptable levels, consuming this chemical is just not good for you, no matter what the mega food corporations and their lobbies say.

The average glass of wine can have up to 329 mg/l of methanol and your quoting a survey saying


So why aren't you warning people wine is programming their brain cells to kill themselves?

I'm sure many would love to be your pomme de sang!

i think we had this conversation before...but we both read the same series that i'm thinking of right?
