Re: News About Water & Artificial Sweeteners You Might Not Know!

[Guest guest]

you are entitled to your own opinion just as everyone else

is :0) . If we didn't share our knowledge how would any of us learn?

Its good to challenge to the norm, it gets everyone's brain working.

Everyone will interpret things different as well. You do what feels

right for you. Maybe the next time you come across something that

raises your eye brow you can ask for peoples input on the info you

have heard/seen? For me I'm more worried abt what harm my Splenda is

doing to my body long term than a fat cell,lol I wish I could give

it up. Its always in the back of mind. I have been using Splenda for

a yr now.

Keep your chin up!

My thoughts were only to question what you hear not to bash anyone or

yell at anyone. , please don't be upset, I just wanted to ask

if anyone could verify this as fact.

Thanks for everyone's comments and input.

In a sense, that's true for the artificial sweetener aspartame but not

in a bad way. Aspartame breaks down into methanol and 2 amino acids,

aspartate and phenylalanine. Methanol, or its metabolite, formate, is

toxic in large quantity. However, to put that in perspective, it would

take 600 cans of aspartame sweetened soft drinks consumed all at once

to produce a toxic level in the blood. Research shows that formate

production is balanced by excretion, so blood concentrations of

formate do not change. Aspartate and phenylalanine are two of 20 amino

acids commonly found in animal tissue. Phenylalanine is found in dairy

products, nuts, beans, etc. It would take 28 canned drinks sweetened

with aspartame consumed all at once to equal the phenylalanine in a

glass of milk. Aspartate is found in dairy, beef, poultry, etc. The

aspartate from aspartame can be incorporated into other amino acids in

body tissue just as for other dietary sources of aspartate. In that

sense you might say that this artificial sweetener, or rather its

metabolites, gets " stored as fat " (perhaps better phrased as

" incorporated into body tissue " ), but it's a natural biological process.
