ASPARTAME MAKES YOU FATTER!

Position Statement from Cabot, M.D.,

I have been a medical doctor for 23 years and have clinical and research

interests in the liver and metabolism. I have authored several best selling

health

books including the " Liver Cleansing Diet " , " The Body Shaping Diet " , " Don't

Let Your Hormones Ruin Your Life " , " Women's Health " , " Menopause and Natural

Hormone Replacement Therapy " and I lecture internationally on these subjects. I

have been consulted by thousands of patients with weight problems, hormonal

imbalances, fatty liver, sluggish metabolism and chronic ill health. I have been

an advocate and practitioner of nutritional methods of healing for 30 years. I

regularly appear on national television and broadcast on many radio stations

to educate people about the importance of a healthy liver in achieving good

health and weight control!

In the interests of public health I am making a position statement concerning

the use of the artificial sweetener called aspartame and sold most commonly

under the names of NutraSweet and Equal. One must ask, " why do millions of

people ingest a toxic chemical like aspartame everyday " ? To me it appears

ridiculous and I believe that it is because people have been brainwashed into

thinking

aspartame will keep their weight down and is good for health. It also shows

me that we have lost touch with our own natural senses and instincts.

After having been consulted by thousands of overweight people suffering with

problems concerning the liver and/or metabolism I can assure you that

aspartame will not help you in any way, indeed it will help you to gain unwanted

weight. This has been my experience, and there are logical reasons to explain

the

fattening and bloating effects of aspartame. When you ingest the toxic chemical

aspartame it is absorbed from the intestines and passes immediately to the

LIVER where it is taken inside the liver via the liver filter. The liver then

breaks down or metabolizes aspartame to its toxic components - phenylalanine,

aspartic acid and methanol. This process requires a lot of energy from the liver

which means there will be less energy remaining in the liver cells. This

means the liver cells will have less energy for fat burning and metabolism,

which

will result in fat storing. Excess fat may build up inside the liver cells

causing " fatty liver " and when this starts to occur it is extremely difficult to

lose weight. In my vast experience any time that you overload the liver you

will increase the tendency to gain weight easily.

Aspartame also causes weight gain by other mechanisms ---Causes unstable

blood sugar levels, which increases the appetite and causes cravings for

sweets/sugar. Thus it is particularly toxic for those with diabetes or epilepsy.

Causes

fluid retention giving the body a puffy and bloated appearance. This makes

people look fatter than they are and increases cellulite.
