"Your body can't tell the difference." (corn syrup

Post Reply New Topic

Inulin is insulin according the corn syrup lobby....(Not really Mr. Literal, it's just a pun, a bad one at that.)

What exactly are you insulinuating?

(inulinuating?...)

You have some lovely choices here....

The pink packet stuff is a proven cancer agent. (Saccharin, sold as Sweet'n Low.)

The light blue packet stuff is a neurotoxin. (This is aspartame, sold under brand name Equal.)

The yellow packet stuff causes GI issues. (Splenda, the newest of artificial sugars, chemists literally took a sugar molecule and replaced HO groups with Chlorine atoms.)

Guess who was in charge of Searle when they pushed aspartame approval through FDA? Donald effin Rumsfeld. Look it up.

I'm not sure how the food and drug industry can claim your body doesn't know one kind of sugar from another and, at the same time, openly make money off people who are lactose intolerant. Or is that such a totally different issue that I've just made myself sound really ignorant and silly?

Not a chemist or biologist here. Sorry...

That's actually quite false.

Sugars are worse for you than aspartame.

Not at all true, where did you see or read this?

I learned this in nutrition class. For aspartame to be harmful you would have to digest more than an average human digests in a lifetime.

Right. Someone I knew refused to eat Aspartame (same someone would eat entire chickens as snacks and at 27 was on cholesterol medication, but I digress) and when asked why, he couldn't find any reason except a study done on rats that found if you forcefeed them enough aspartame for their stomachs to rupture, apparently, they die. The smear campaign has been debunked several times by health orgs and independent researchers.

Now, that's worth considering. If people can be sensitive to soap residue on dishes, maybe concentrated pesticide residue is either a subtle taste sensitivity trigger or the cause of some sort of stomach reaction. I don't know. I'd say that might be something to look into.

My number one reason for avoiding artificial sweeteners? No artificial "sweetener" tastes sweet to me.

That doesn't make it worse than sugar. Sugar has calories, the source of energy in food. Aspartame and other artificial sweeteners have no calories and are just molecules of junk!

Is there such a thing as low fructose corn sugar?

Ok, here I go: the aspartame industry spends HUGE amounts of money to lie to the public about its product. Nutrition classes in a publicly funded (or even private) school would likely not know or tell the truth. There are TONS of scientific studies showing that aspartame, under all its names, is neuro-toxic and linked to all kinds of medical problems, especially blurry vision, seiziers, weight gain, and MS like symptoms. When the chemical was originally produced, it was considered by the Defense Department as a possible biological weapon. In fact, it is being used as such by being added to our food supply backed up by a steady stream of Industry lies. Why would they do such a thing? Mass capitalism cares only for money. Get people to pay to feed themselves poison, expecialy a slow acting one, and you make money at both ends, second time when they go to the doctor for drugs, most of which are other types of poison to create new problems that can then be "treated" with other, expensive (profitable) drugs.

When I worked in the nutrition field, my boss was addicted to diet soda. She tried and tried to quite but couldn't. Aspartame is addictive. One day she had a seizier in the office. Doctor could find no cause. Then one day she told me that when she was at University there was a professor who was documenting the dangers of aspertame and his house burned down and all his documentation was lost.

Google: Mission Possible, Betty Martini. She is a brave and self-less soul who has created a web-site where this information is available, including links to the 100s of studies that show this chemical to be poisonous. In one meta-analysis (a study looking at the results of a bunch of studies) EVERY study on the safety of apsertame NOT funded by industry showed deleterious results. EVERY study funded by the FDA or aspertame industry showed that it was safe.

Here is a link to Dr. Betty Martini's web site on the dangers of aspartame:

It is a treasure trove of truth on the subject.

Aspertame gives me bloody diarrhea, as do most artificial sweeteners. Sugar doesn't. I'll decide for myself which is more harmful.
