But, what is it? Is the public in the habit of just ingesting foods because everyone else does, or because it tastes good. If one sees 0 calories, is it assumed that it has to be healthier for you?
Read labels: If you do, you will find that aspartame is commonly listed as an ingredient in not only sodas/soft drinks, but in everything from breath mints to even medications. Children consume it through many cereals, fruit flavored drinks, dessert toppings, candy, etc. And, fetuses can be affected by aspartame during gestation.
This chemical concoction, made up of aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol, was discovered over 50 years ago. Watch this little video. It is under 7 minutes long. The video will give you a bit history on aspartame that has known side-effects from headaches and memory loss, to more serious health conditions, many of which were covered up in the original studies.
.
Once ingested, it has been found that the methanol is converted by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) enzyme into formaldehyde, which can cause havoc on your DNA and proteins. Sounds like the embalming process is being slowly begun way before it should be.:)
Again, read labels, and live naturally.
More news next time...
In health,
