Artificial Sweetener: The Sweet Misery

If you are consuming artificial sweetener, or thinking to change from sugar to artificial sweetener, let me warn you: you’re escaping from tiger’s mouth to crocodile’s mouth.

Artificial sweeteners, even how tempting the slender model looks on the package, are doubtfully benefiting your health. There so much controversy around artificial sweeteners, and while numerous studies were conducted, they are still at large, being consumed by millions of uninformed diabetic patients or weight watchers all around the world.

The general conclusion is that the benefit-to-risk ratio of artificial sweeteners is pretty much unclear. And too add confusion, major health governing bodies allow its usage. How can something be unsafe when FDA has approved it? Well’ that’s the mystery.

A great deception

I am very much against the use of dangerous chemicals over the health of general public. Let’s look at a scenario. An elderly gets diabetes and turn to artificial sweeteners, influenced by the low calorie claims and sometimes even doctor’s prescription. But little that the old man knows that the artificial sugar does more harm than good. Other health issues starts to appear and this is where the sick gets sicker, and the sicker gets to die early. All in the name of a great deception!

Look behind your sweetener’s innocent case. Or maybe chewing gums. There are thousands of products using these sweeteners. Look out for these names and beware!

SUCRALOSE

NEOTAME

CYCLAMATE

SACCHARIN

ASPARTAME

ASPARTAME especially enjoys widespread usage. It is very dangerous for diabetics. It drives the blood sugar out of control, so diabetics may suffer acute memory loss due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are neurotoxic. Thus it passes the blood brain barrier and deteriorates the neurons of the brain, causing in various kinds of brain damage, seizures, depression, manic depression, panic attacks, rage, violence.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
