Are Diet Foods Healthy? Let us hear the one major answer, after first asking another question.- How many so-called Diet Foods contain 'aspartame'? 4,000 , maybe 6,000, of the food and drink items offered thru-out an average large grocery supermarket. Now, let us keep this little article 'dangerously sweet and low to the point'. What is aspartame? Some know it by the name of Equal, NutraSweet, Spoonfull, or another dozen or so, made up, safe and healthy sounding diet promoting superlatives. But here is what it really is made up of: 3 chemicals, and they are 'aspartic acid', 'phenylalanine', and 'methanol'. Thus, I would most definitely call it a Chemical Poison. Without great technical detail, it is by far the most dangerous food additive placed in our grocery / food supply today. Aspartame causes over 70% of adverse reactions to food additives reported to the U.S. FDA,- including headaches, siezures, nausea, numbness, depression, fatigue, hearing and vision loss, anxiety, breathing problems, memory loss, joint pain, and believe it or not, weight gain. Ha! But not funny at all. Some chronic illnesses that can be worsened or triggered by eating aspartame include: epilepsy, brain tumors, chronic fatigue syndrome, M.S., lymphoma, birth defects, fibromyalgia, Sjogren's Syndrome, diabetes, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's. The amino acids, aspartic acid, and phenylalanine, ingested in much quantity can cause serious problems alone. But what of the ingredient 'methanol'? Methanol-(wood-grain alcohol), is a deadly




poison! In the body it breaks down into 'formic acid' and 'formaldehyde'- a deadly neurotoxin! - - Why is this neurotoxin - Aspartame allowed to be placed in so much of our food supplies? Is it really safe? Of course not. What is going on here, that our Federal government and the Food and Drug Administration would allow this? Imagine,- cancer diabetes birth defects emotional and serious mood disorders autoimmune disorders, etc. The findings and proofs are out there. And, artificial sweeteners will not only NOT help you to lose weight, but will actually make you fat! Yes, maybe a very few diet foods may be o'k, but safe? At least not the money pumping adulterated Aspartame foods. Most people do not associate their symptoms with the long-term use of aspartame, and since I am trying to be brief this time, anyone seeking more information or directions to the facts and findings, may contact me. How aspartame was approved is a lesson in how chemical and pharmaceutical companies can manipulate our government agencies and health related organizations. It might be best if we tried to eat more natural live foods, unprocessed, and without the poisonous fantasyland additives, which actually destroy proper health maintenance. - 'Peace', - Joe Ward (naturopath / herbalist) - p.s.- and remember: "Gorillas-Dont-Cook"
