Quality living does not include arthritis, asthma,
mental illness, obesity, hypertension, and/or diabetes. Even though the mortality rate for cancer
has decreased by 17% since 1950, the lung cancer death rate for women alone
has risen more than 500% over the same period. All the while, the food and beverage
industry is working feverously to have us consume their respective stuff
faster and more of it. But, are they
to blame for the illnesses?
Product makers like to make stuff that hits our
taste palate trio, consisting of fat, salt and sweet. Most often, food producers maximize the
sweet taste to capture the largest audience.
Unfortunately, the sweet satisfier used too much is aspartame,
the most dangerous substance on the market.
Aspartame is a chemical compound, accounting for over 75% of the
adverse reactions to food additives reported each year to the Food and Drug
Administration, including seizures and death.
Science reports that diet sodas containing
artificial sweeteners increase a craving for sweets, distort appetite,
and even damage brain cells.
Especially aspartame as when it is ingested will often and routinely
cause dreadful reactions in the body, which is why some want it banned. There are researchers and physicians studying
the adverse chronic illnesses effects it triggers or worsens such as, brain
tumors, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, parkinson’s
disease, alzheimer’s, mental retardation, lymphoma, birth defects,
fibromyalgia, and diabetes.
Aspartame serves to replace processed sugar that everyone
understands to be a serious obesity maker.
However, nearly every low-calorie product sold uses aspartame as a
sweetener including soft drinks, chewing gum, dessert mixes, puddings &
fillings, frozen desserts, a variety of yogurts, tabletop sweeteners,
mouthwashes, some vitamins & sugar-free cough drops, breath mints, cereals, flavored syrups for
coffee, flavored water, frozen ice crème novelties, fruit spreads, gelatin,
sugar-free hard candies, iced tea, instant cocoa mix, jams & jellies,
juice blends & drinks, maple syrups, mousse, no sugar added pies,
nutritional bars & drinks, pudding, soft candy chews, sugar-free
chocolate syrup, sugar-free cookies, sugar-free ketchup, table top sweeteners,
and even vegetable drinks.
Although a lot people do not even know why or how
they are getting sick, as ingesting aspartame causes people to have
headaches/migraines, dizziness, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain,
rashes, depression, fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision
problems, hearing loss, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety
attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss, and
joint pain.
Mainly, it is something about those diet sodas being
extremely deceptive beverages.
Drinking them can actually be putting on the pounds versus taking them
off as desired. Particularly those
aspartame-filled products without a doubt have a direct effect on causing
poor health. For that reason, beverage
producers that use it should add the Latin phrase on the label, ‘Caveat Emptor’—let the buyer beware.
