Aspartame

 

Despite being promoted for weight loss, foods and beverages with artificial sweeteners have never been proven to help weight loss. In fact studies that look at this actually find artificial sweeteners promote weight gainResearch has also demonstrated that aspartame worsens insulin sensitivity to a greater degree than sugar, posing a hidden health threat to diabetics who follow the recommendation to switch to diet sodas to manage their condition.

 

To combat the bad publicity, Coca-Cola has resorted to fake “infomercials” that look like public service announcements touting the “scientifically proven” safety and benefits of aspartame for those struggling with their weight.

 

The most comprehensive and longest human study looking at aspartame toxicity found a clear association between Aspartame consumption and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and leukemia.

 

Ditching ALL sweetened beverages can go a long way toward reducing your risk for chronic health problems and weight gain. Your best, most cost effective choice of beverage is pure filtered tap water.

 

Soda and other sweetened beverages have been pinpointed as some of the primary culprits in the obesity epidemic.Recent research1 also suggests that regular soda consumption may increase aggressive behavior in young children.

 

The study found that each incremental increase in daily soft drink servings resulted in a corresponding rise in aggression scores.In an obvious effort to save the beverage industry, companies like Coca-Cola have rolled out glossy ads touting the myth that you simply need to exercise more to burn off the extra calories. This "conventional wisdom" has been firmly debunked by science. Not all calories count equally...

 

Furthermore, recent research has also demonstrated that Aspartame worsens insulin sensitivity to a greater degree than sugar, making it a hidden threat to those trying to manage their diabetes. Artificial sweeteners of all kinds have been found to wreak havoc in a number of different ways.

 

Aspartame, for example, has a long list of studies indicating its harmful effects to you and your family, ranging from brain damage to pre-term delivery.  Unfortunately, most public health agencies and registered dietitians in the United States still recommend these toxic artificial sweeteners as acceptable and even preferred alternatives to sugar, which is at best confusing and at worst seriously damaging the health of those who listen to this well-intentioned but foolish advice.
