Preservatives

More than one-third of the adult population in the United States is classified as obese!  Obesity is responsibile for more "preventable" deaths each year than any other cause.  Secondly obesity is on the rise like wildfire in the forest during a severe drought!  The cause of obesity has been linked widely to a few silent killers called preservatives.

One of the most dangerous and widely used preservative is Aspertame which to date is used in over 6000 food and beverage products.  Studies have proven that long-term side effects of Aspartame can cause symptoms that mimick Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes, Arthritis, Alzheimer's and severe depression.

Aspartame is also know to reduce and destroy gut flora in the digestive tract which makes us more vulnerable to disease and illness.

Aspartame contains methanol which when ingested will unfortunately bond with heavy metals currently in our body, become a feeding ground for dangerous viruses, and converts from methanol into formaldehyde at 86 degrees farenhyte.

Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen DKP (diketopiperazine) which has been proven in lab mice to cause brain tumors and other harmful growths.  Methanol also converts into Phenylalanine which can cause severe neurological problems and damage the immune system, making us vulnerable to harmful pathogens.

Aspartame is also known as "NutraSweet", "Equal", and "Spoonful" has been documented to cause users of the product to crave carbohydrates more than when consumers eat food without Aspartame.  Thus people who crave carbohydrates more usually gain on average 19 pounds more than those people who refrain from ingesting carbs in the forms of whats, pastas, rices, cereals, pastries, and candies.

In 1991 The NIH documented over 167 cases where Aspartame is a known neurotoxin and negatively affected long-term memory in people who regularly ingested foods with Aspartame.  There are a variety of other diseases linked to Aspartame use which are:

Diabetes, Obesity, Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, CFS, Migraines, Brfain Tumors, Birth Defects, and Alzheimer's disease.

The manufacturer of Aspartame recently changed the name to AminoSweet and trying to market it as a "natural" preservative!
