come to think of it i recall now reading health articals on worldnetdaily concerning cancer and what the scoop is with sugar--------any sugar white or whatever--------if you have cancer stop eating all sugars period because they feed the cancer cells-----we need to be eating lots of broccoli/cabbage to keep the bowels regular and there are enzmes in broccoli that fight cancer and something in tomatoes,onions and garlic that helps fight cancer also.

Actually, fine.

Here, attack the sources all you wish. Here's one from 2007...

www.aboutaspartame.com...

And from the National Cancer Institute...

“The conclusions presented by the Ramazzini Foundation are simply wrong,” said Dr. Richard H. Adamson, scientific consultant to the American Beverage Association. “The first Ramazzini report was widely discredited worldwide for poor scientific methodology and there is no reason to think this report will fare any better. Furthermore, presenting data in such an unethical and unusual way—by going around the widely accepted practices of scientific peer review and releasing information directly to the media—does nothing but cause unnecessary alarm among consumers about an ingredient that has repeatedly been confirmed as safe by regulatory agencies around the world.”

“The bottom line is Ramazzini’s studies are flawed and are conducted on rats that are not pathogen free, while the National Cancer Institute study focuses on humans,” Adamson said. “It is the extensive human studies—as well as the breadth of research on aspartame—that should give consumers complete confidence in aspartame.”

The data presented by Dr. Mirando Soffritti of the Ramazzini Foundation, and its lack of support from the scientific community, stands in stark contrast to the study by the National Cancer Institute – a highly reputable institution that carried out a long-term, peer-reviewed study. And it stands in contrast to hundreds of other peer-reviewed studies affirming aspartame.

But I'm sure all that will follow, is an attack on the source, followed by sarcasm far superior to "playground" level, and maybe an attack on my muscles....it's just getting boring.

I've always been cautious with man-made sweetners, it's just not natural... anyone know of any gum with pure sugar instead of aspertame?

Yeah. I am addicted to diet coke. I know that aspartame can't be that good for you. I am sure your body has no idea what that stuff is. Who knows. But it tastes good to me (some people can't stand it). To my knowledge, there have never been any long-term tests on the effects of aspartame..and it may effect different people differently. But something called aspartame...I mean, that can't really be good.

I switched to Spry chewing gum. It's sweetened with Xylitol which is shown to reduce tooth decay by up to 80 percent. You can find it at most health food stores and you can buy it online.

Aspartame is a toxic substance that was on the congressional list of biowarfare agents until it got approved by the FDA because Donald Rumsfeld was the president of the company that owned the patent on it.

Why would you want to ingest it?

Dude, it was discovered in 1965 and FDA approved in 1981! That does not qualify as 'very new' in my eyes. It is made from two building blocks of protein, is one of the MOST widely tested substances, and the studies that scared everybody were flawed. Read the link I posted above, it states the studies were NOT peer reviewed, they used non-pathogen free rats, etc. Have you ever had a rat as a pet? If you have, you know that after about 1 and a half to two years, they usually get cancer and die. I never fed my rats ANY aspartame. It was a sham.


It is all our individual decisions whether to trust the Food and Drug administration, or to trust our own gut instincts.


Right, trust your own gut instincts. But don't let a small number of flawed studies be your gut instinct. Does your gut tell you not to eat chicken, fish, etc.? What about tomatos? They all contain the same substances aspartame does. It's not some crazy chemical, it's amino acids, which your body NEEDS.


My own gut instinct tells me that if it has to be separated from the rest of the ingredients, and I'm not as fat as a walrus, I am going to eat sugar and keep myself eating a bit more naturally. It is your decision if you choose not to.


Well, as long as it's your own, cool. I'm not some rabid fan of aspartame, I like Splenda (sucralose) better, but it's becoming the subject of the SAME baseless scarelore. The only reason I like either is because sometimes I want a soda without the insane amount of calories in the sugary versions. The irony is, sugar is subject to the SAME scare tactics...

Sugar is without question one of the most dangerous substances on the food market today.

What we are talking about here is sucrose, the white crystalline sugar refined from cane or beet juice by stripping away all its vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, water, and other synergists.

White sugar is an industrially processed chemical not found in nature, and it is not fit for human consumption.

www.hps-online.com...


It even blames violence in prison on sugar...

In a recent study conducted by Dr. C. Keith Connors of the Children's Hospital in Washington, DC, a 'deadly' link was established between the consumption of sugar with carbohydrates (such as breakfast cereal, cake, and biscuits) and violent behaviour, hypertension, and learning impediments.

In other studies, chronic violence in prisons was remarkably reduced simply by eliminating refined sugar and starch from prison diets. Singapore in 1991 banned sugary soft drink sales from all schools and youth center's, citing the danger that sugar poses to the mental and physical health of children.


Seriously, ANY substance you can imagine has a group of people frothing at the mouth to alarm you and make you believe it is the MOST deadly substance a human can ingest, either to sell a book or just cuz they like to scare people. It's ridiculous.

Sorry jd, you keep posting this message "small number of flawed studies" and then post a small number of industry sponsored PR exercises to support your belief that aspartame is safe.

Here's one list of over 100 studies for you to be getting on with. Of the 7 reports that support Aspartame in this list, 6 of them are from Rumsfeld's mates at the FDA.

Now, either individually rebut the entire list as flawed, or stop using that misleading statement and have the decency to be honest about the extent of the valid, intelligent and authoritative research about the dangers of aspartame.

HOLY MOTHER. When I was 6, I took flinstone vitamins with aspertame. I GOT TWITCHES AND RANDOM COUGHS FOR 2 YEARS!

How can I join this law suit?

Hi people here is a copy of a recent bulletin post I put on My MySpace site

"PLEASE READ THIS FOR 5MINS....
Hi friends, every so often i will post a bulletin of the dangers of artificial sweetener- Aspartame (E951).
But I have now my own proof of the toxicity of this additive, my girl has had headaches for over 6 years, some days really bad, tablets, cool patches, dark room treatments etc. The local doctor (pharmaceutical salesman) gave her migraine tablets,more tablets and more tablets to no effect even anti-depressants!! which lasted 2 days after i saw them before they met the bin.
It would annoy me so much I could do nothing for her, then around 3 years ago, i found the truth circuit and got pretty interested in the food side too, I first came across Aspartame in David Icke's books as he had some chapters in some of his books and told of the history and warned of the dangers there. I then came off any sweeteners and cut down on most additives in my foods.
To convince the girlfriend was hard, but i tried to no avail.
I then saw Sweet Misery and was totally shocked of the evidence the film portrayed of the history and dangers of this product, and also bought the book- Health & Nutrition Secrets that could save your life by Russell L. Blaylock M.D (who gave evidence on Sweet Misery). Then that was it, I would print out mainstream documents of the dangers of this product and place them in front of her every so often trying my best to explain the evidence i brought forward, I even made her sit and watch Sweet Misery, showed her/read to her from the above book and that just got her slightly aware where i was coming from. Then this year was the ultimatum I would have no more Aspartame in the house, I would buy no more for her at shopping time and would nag her every time I saw her with an Aspartame product, then after this years holidays and agreement was made, no more after we came back.
Well she stuck to her word, every label was read, every drink was checked.
This was 4 weeks ago-
No Headaches since the day of extraction, let me repeat that
NO HEADACHES (that have lasted 6 years!!) SINCE THE DAY OF EXTRACTION.
I/she was totally knocked back at this result and she felt such a fool to ignore my preaching.
I can honestly say this Excitotoxin is one of the most dangerous products in our foods today, it can create brain nerve damage, cause swelling and finish off with fatal tumors as Excitotoxins do.
Please take heed at this post, research yourself and any people especially those with children who are unaware, make them.
I will be writing to my and her doctor and produce a copy of Sweet Misery to them and would like them to explain themselves on these results and findings."

I am sure that water is probably still the best and safest thing for the body. I am not a scientist or expert but aspartame just doesn't seem quite right to me. I gave diet coke up for a couple of weeks and actually had some mild withdrawal symptoms (headaches, etc.). I seemed to feel a little better after awhile.

Water is boring...but it is the best thing going.
