To get this topic started-
Vocabulary
Aspartame: (AKA NutraSweet, Equal, or Spoonful) a sweetener used instead of sugar in "sugar-free" foods, such as diet sodas and other foods.
Formaldehyde: an absolute toxin used primarliy to preserve tissue specimens.
I read an interesting article that will make some of you flinch....it made me think i don't want to drink diet again............
the article started off with the author describing her mother and how she was extremely sick. her mother had undergone several tissue biopsies and other surgery because she was so sick even walking was a major chore. she was in extreme pain all the time and doctors thought she has MS (multiple sclerosis). turns out, her daughter read an article on "sugar-free" products such as diet soda that contained ASPARTAME and how it is effecting people and causing MS symtoms. well the woman stopped drinking diet soda and within 32 hours was feeling better. in fact, she could walk a bit more easily. a study was done on MS patients to see if they drank diet or consumed other "sugar-free" products....turned out, most patients with MS drank it. after taking patients off diet soda and regular soda completely, it was found symptoms were relieved.
this lead to a study that affects most of us.........
the science and health community has wondered what other affects the aspartmae has on people. they looked into diet soda further. here's the scoop:
Aspartame is dangerous because when the temperature of the sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in aspartame converts to fermaldehyde and then to formic acid (the poison found in strings of fire ants), which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. the methanol toxicity mimics multiple sclerosis, as well as other conditions. many peopler were diagnosed in error.
*(ENGLISH TRANSLATION: fermaldehyde is a compound, if you will, that destroys the liver. it is a bad chemical that will harm the body. metabolic acidosis:A condition in which the blood is too acidic. It may be caused by severe illness or sepsis (bacteria in the bloodstream). you will notice things like shooting pains in the arms and legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, tinnitis, joint pain, depression etc.) )
HOW IT MAKES US GAIN WEIGHT IN ADDITION TO THESE OTHER NICE HEALTH RISKS:
Diet soda is NOT a diet product. it is artificial. it is chemically altered and aspartame containing products actually contain sodium (though on most diet it says 1% sodium) and causes cravings of carbohydrates. it is far more likely to make you gain weight. diet soda and other products containing aspartame contain fermaldehyde, which stores in lipid (or fat) cells, particularly in the hips and thighs due to the nature of their storage. a study involving the removal of diet products from a normal diet with NO INCREASE in exercise found that patients lost 19 pounds on average.
so....bottom line.....don't drink diet. the health problems are rediculous and not worth it.
