Artificial sweeteners - Eat as much as you want and not gain weight!!

I just want to make this post because a loooot of people on this site are eating a lot of artificial sweetener and believe it is a sugar alternative that has no consequences.

Saccharin (Sweet N Low, SugarTwin): recognised carcinogen but warning label has been removed by most areas. Legal amount has recently increased in Australia. Saccharin is synthetic powder and is 350 times as sweet as sucrose. It has absolutely no nutritional value and it not easily digested.

Aspartame (Nutrasweet, Equal, Spoonful, Equal Measure): bonded phenylalanine & aspartic acid. Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid that must be consumed daily for good health & aspartic acid is also used by the body. Neither of these are harmful, but it when they are forced to bond to create an artifical sweetener, they become harmful. One is naturally able to cross the blood brain barrier and one is not. Since they are joined, one drags the other across the blood brain barrier where it is NOT meant to be. This causes neurological issues in human beings. The process causes neuronal death.

"On the day of his inauguration as president in 1981, with Mr Rumsfeld on his transition team, Ronald Reagan personally wrote an executive order suspending the head of the US Food and Drug Administration's powers on aspartame. One month later Mr Reagan appointed a new head of the regulatory authority, Arthur Hayes, who granted a licence for the sweetener."

Interesting, huh?

Sucralose (Splenda): discovered while trying to create a new insecticide. The product is made fom sugar, but it is treated with so many other chemicals that it is considered completely unnatural. Lack of long term studies on humans. High levels of chlorine.

The issue with research and safety of these products is that it is funded by intities who receive personal profit from products containing these artificial sweeteners. It is in their best monetary interest to state the safety of these products. Please just think about it, because a lot of people are practically living off these products.
