Aspartame Poison Century
Thalidomide is 90 years of aspartame, a.k.a. NutraSweet, Finn, Zero Cal, and other trademarks. The text of the American researcher Barbara Alexander Mullarkey was aired on the Internet by Betty Martini and his original can be found in http://www.dorway.com. This is a free radical for the Portuguese, made by me, Beatriz Medina in July 1996.
Aspartame can be considered thalidomide 90s. With names NutraSweet, Finn ZeroCal and other trademarks, sweeteners with aspartame are extremely dangerous because they are present in todaparte in dietetic foods, supposedly healthy, and even children's vitamins, medicines, puddings, gelatin and softening the more innocent coffee.
It is also found in Diet Coke and other diet sodas. Aspartame is a neurotoxin, i.e., a drug that destroys the brain and nervous system. The molecule has three components: aspartic acid, phenylalanine and methanol. Has been shown that aspartic acid causes brain lesions in animal experiments.
The existing phenylalanine in aspartame is neurotoxic when isolated from other amino acids in proteins. Facilitates the occurrence of seizures and blocks the production of serotonin, which is one of the substances on the brain to regulate sleep. Low levels of serotonin, and insomnia, causing depression, anxiety, moodiness and even symptoms of paranoia.
Finally, methanol poisonous wood alcohol that has blinded and killed thousands of converts after ingestion of formaldehyde and formic acid (the main component of the venom of the sting of fire ants). Formaldehyde, a deadly neurotoxin that is stored in adipose tissue, particularly in the hips and thighs, is used to embalm corpses and violent is a carcinogen.

Until 1996, the FDA received over 10,000 complaints from consumers against NutraSweet. This corresponds to 80% of all complaints on food additives, but the FDA does nothing to alert the public, which assumes that a product advertised as healthy as it should be safe. Not the first time the FDA approved a drug harmful.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) observed 80 people who suffered brain seizures after eating or drinking products with aspartame. The Community Nutrition Institute declared: "These 80 cases which fit the FDA definition of imminent risk to public health, which requires the FDA to immediately withdraw the product from the market."
NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure are all brand names for aspartame, a low calorie sugar substitute used in more than 90 countries to sweeten foods and beverages. Aspartame is a synthetic chemical that is created through the combination of the amino acids phenylalanine and aspartic acid, and a small amount of methanol. Aspartame can be found in several products, such as soft drinks, over-the counter drugs, vitamin and herb supplements, instant breakfasts, candy, breath mints, cereals, sugar-free chewing gum, coffee, juice, and tea beverages, tabletop sweeteners, and gelatin desserts. This product may have seemed like a dream come true when it was first invented in 1981 because its use can substantially lower the number of calories in food and beverage products by substituting the place of sugar. Despite its desirable qualities, the use of aspartame has been controversial since its creation due to its negative side effects that have been linked to the use of the chemically produced sugar.
...rthrate in infants are all over the packages. Most medicines list a whole plethora of possible side effects of the medication. Yet coffee cups to this day have no mention of the ramifications of spilled coffee. Maybe someday McDonald’s and other fast food chains will print on their cups “Can cause life threatening burns. Handle with care.”
...n potential death. What the FDA should do is support funding for more advertising, encouraging all citizens to be more aware with the potentially hazardous products they consume. I’m sure if people without food allergies were more aware of the potential harm their daily snack could cause to someone else, they would start to use a lot more caution.

There was many of opinions against, however, to call for a new law expanding the FDA's authority. This argument was changed by the thalidomide tragedy, in which thousands of babies were born with messed up heads or bodies after their mothers took thalidomide which was put on the market for treatment of nausea during pregnancies. Thalidomide had not been approved for use in the U.S. because of the concerns of an FDA reviewer, Frances Kelsey about thyroid toxicity. However, thousands of samples had been sent to American doctors during the investigation of the drug's development, which at the time was entirely unregulated by the FDA. Individual members of Congress cited the thalidomide incident in lending their support to expansion of FDA
I have had friends who were having symptoms, had all kinds of tests and were taking all kinds of medications and when they stopped consuming Aspartame, the symptoms disappeared. Written by Lisa Zak Physician Credentialer University Pediatric Associates, Inc. Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo:
First, the main ingredients in diet soda, and why they are so harmful. The main ingredients that are in diet soda are aspartame and saccharin. Aspartame is an artificial sweetener, and it is a protein produced from aspartic acid. Aspartame is used in any different foods and drinks because it is about 200 times sweeter than sugar, so that means much less of it can be used to give the same amount of sweetness. When aspartame is digested, it breaks down into aspartic acid, phenylalanine and methanol. These components are also used in a selection of foods such as milk, meat, dried beans, fruits and vegetables, but much greater amounts are used in diet soda. Another reason Aspartame is terrible for you is that when Aspartame gets to a certain temperature it is known as rat poison. Also, 10% of aspartame is made up of methyl ester bond which includes methanol. After a few hours of ingesting aspartame, this methanol is released from the aspartame and begins roaming through the body through the blood. After the methyl ester is unglued it separates into wood alcohol. The conflict with this methanol is that it easily passes through your blood-...
Patent Protection: NutraSweet owned several crucial patents in the U.S. and other regions. Among them were the use/mix patent for aspartame and their manufacturing process patent.
...involuntary twitching of muscles. The mechanism underlying the toxic effects is that physostigmine targets the acetylcholinesterase and inhibits its activity, which inhibits the hydrolysis of acetylcholine, so increased acetylcholine will be useful to treat cholinergic disorders. Physostigmine, as a tertiary amine and can easily crosses blood-brain barrier. It is a soluble lipid and able to cross-placental barrier mainly by passive diffusion. It is rapidly absorbed from GI tract, subcutaneous tissues and metabolized largely destroyed in body.
On the fox news program publish March 06, 2014 mentions how energy drinks effects the organs.
It is found that the consumption of caffeine among the adult US population is 80% in the form of food or other medication. A common term is used for the allergic reaction to caffeine and is known as anaphylaxis. During this condition, one feels nervous and agitated. This caffeine anaphylaxis results in collapse of the blood brain wall and brings about toxic dementia.
Most big corporations only want to make money and sell a product; they do not care about what is going into their products. You may think a big brand you buy from is trustworthy, but you never really know for sure. In order to know what is actually going into your food, you need to research what chemicals the company is using if they’ve ever been in a big scandal when it comes to chemicals, and where the ingredients in the food are being farmed or raised. The company that makes the food you are putting into your body have the most power when it comes to putting toxic ingredients into your food, so you should always be cautious of
Although there is very few data that caffeine containing energy drinks may temporarily improve alertness, but they enhance strength and decrease power (National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health). Excessive intakes of beverages lead to adenosine receptors prone to feeling increased anxiety. Energy drinks cause insomnia, which is effect of caffeine. Lack of sleep has been seen to cause impaired body function. They also cause some people to shake and be anxious. This can cause emotional issue. Where people used to take energy drinks regularly they eventually become addicted, which is one of the serious psychological effect. Beverages are the cause of increase in stress hormone, which leads to stress among consumers. In general, other psychological effects are impaired cognition, risky behavior, stress and nervousness.
Safety: The risk information has been very clearly mentioned on the container. A separate ‘Allergy Warning’ has also been given in detail along with an elaborate nutrition information
