Guest guest Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hi everybody, You may have noticed in my previous post " Seven foods to avoid " one of those seven items was Aspartame. Below here is more light on that particular item. Read the following article, it is really alarming not only for Fibro patients but for all human being. --------------------------------------------- Americans spend about 90 percent of their total food budget on processed foods - and we wonder why we have a health care crisis. Besides being enzyme deplete, processed foods are often crammed with chemicals, including colors, flavors and preservatives. Apparently, many people don`t think twice about filling themselves and their children with chemicals, so let`s look at the effects of just a couple of them. Aspartame Aspartame is common in diet sodas; it`s also found in chewing gum, sweets, and diet foods. It`s even sold in packets as chemical sweeteners and placed on most restaurant tables. Actually, aspartame is found in about 6,000 foods on grocery store shelves. The fact that aspartame was once listed by the Pentagon as a biochemical warfare agent should be all the information you need to avoid it. But if you need more, have a look at these rats fed aspartame daily. http://myaspartameexperiment.com/index.php?page=3 (Copy and paste the link on your browser window) This experiment was done by a woman concerned about the amount of aspartame her family was consuming. Each day, she fed 108 rats the amount of aspartame in two-thirds of an 8-ounce serving of diet soda, when adjusted for size. In less than three years, 37 percent of the female rats developed tumors. The pictures speak for themselves. Of course, this begs some serious questions. If this woman was getting these results at home just by putting aspartame in the rats` water, what does it say about the scientists who tested aspartame for safety before it inundated the food supply - or about the government agency that approved its use? In addition to tumors, aspartame is associated with brain damage and nervous system disturbances; it also affects brain development in fetuses. --------------------------------------------- I hope above information is helpful for us.
