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: In October of 2001, a friend's sister started getting very sick. She had stomach spasms and she was having a hard time getting around. Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get
Aspartame has been known as one of the most famous sweeteners and additives to food. Since its discovery in 1965-1969, it has now been developed into a commercial product in which several products use it to enhance its sweetness and taste. Because of this, it has also been a very prosperous commercial product where its company developers get much profit on. Nonetheless, it has been the subject of issue and controversy. Several reports and studies rebuke the suitability of it being a food product
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
Intro Aspartame, also known as E951 on food labels, has been a very controversial food additive for decades. It is used to replace sugars in foods such as diet coke, desserts, and chewing gum. Many people fear it due to its bad reputation as being a “chemical” and unnatural, coupled with claims of side effects ranging from headaches to cancer. Its no wonder many people refuse to take even a hint of Aspartame!p But how bad is Aspartame? Are any of these claims true? History Aspartame is an organic
Summary The Holland Sweetener Company versus NutraSweet is company’s competing in the aspartame industry. Aspartame, a low-calorie high intensity sweetener, can be used as a substitute for sugar because it is sweeter and does not cause tooth decay, but has been found to cause other health hazards. My analysis will describe the aspartame market and the strategies of the Holland Sweetener Company to enter into the European and Canadian markets. One key player and dominance of the market is acquired
period, NutraSweet had successfully built several barriers to entry as a means to protect their leadership within the industry and thwart new entrants. Manufacturing: Aspartame manufacturing required a high initial capital expenditure (plan construction costs $100M), and long lead production time (2-3 years to bring aspartame production to speed). The facility needed to be run at or near design capacity and experienced MES of 2,000 tones annually. Also, as the first mover, NutraSweet had the
of paper ... ... foods are reduced in calories from aspartame. Aspartame is created by joining aspartic acid and phenylalanine, and a little bit of methanol. Aspartic acid and phenylalanine are naturally found in many foods and. Aspartame is digested just like any other protein. Aspartame breaks down into its basic components and is absorbed in the blood. Aspartame does not build up in the body over time. The FDA has concluded that aspartame is safe for the general public, including people with
Side Effects of Artificial Sweeteners 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
Saccharin is one of the most disputed sugar substitutes in the United States today. Since 1977, it has been regarded as potentially carcinogenic (“Saccharin”, 1999). The sweetness of saccharin compared to sugarcane is utterly amazing. When measured up to sugarcane, saccharin is 550 times as sweet in its pure state. Also, it is estimated to have a sweetening power of 375 times that of sugar (“Saccharin”, 2000)! This drug may be amazing, but some people say that it causes a dangerous disease, cancer
purpose of this experiment was to study the reactions of amino acids and aspartame. Several solutions were prepared and used in TLC analysis. A permanganate test and a ceric nitrate test were also performed. The summary of the results is shown below. TLC Analysis/Rf Values • Plate I o Solution 1: Aspartame Rf: 0.571 o Solution 2: Phenylalanine Rf: 0.571 o Solution 3: Aspartic Acid Rf: 0.217 o Solution 4: Base-hydrolyzed Aspartame Rf: 0.498 • Plate II o Solution 5: Beverage A Rf: 0.519 o Solution
would think. Diet drinks contain aspartame, which has rarely been spoken about. What is aspartame? How does it affect a person’s body? Aspartame is the artificial sweetener commonly found in “sugar-free” sodas. This artificial sweetener was discovered by James M. Schlatter, a chemist at G.D. Searle and Company, in 1965, according to “What is Aspartame?” by Napala Pratini. Schlatter was composing
you have, trust me, you’re not the only one. I too have wondered how this compound was first discovered and how it was first used. But did you know that there are more sugars than the one we know? There are four known types of sugars: Saccharin, aspartame, sucralose and sodium cyclamate. Not many people take interest when it comes to finding out the history of things. But it is really important where the things we consume come from and if they are healthy for us. In this document, I will be providing
many of them that do different things and have different standards of sweetness. Some are so sweet that they make you gain weight. And some are so thick they take two days just to fully leave your mouth these are four of these sugars. Saccharine,Aspartame,Sucralose,and Sodium Cyclamate. Saccharin is an artificial sweetener. The basic substance, benzoic sulfilimine,has effectively no food energy and is much sweeter than sucrose,but has a bitter or metallic after taste especially at high concentrations
Aspartame, or more commonly known as NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful and Equal Measure; was discovered purely by chance in 1965 by a chemist named James M. Schlatter, who was testing an antacid drug (Prantini; 2014). The commercial industry believed that “a wonder product” had been discovered, which stood to revolutionise the food industry as an artificial sweetener. Aspartame is an artificial sweetener which is found in many of our foods and beverages universally. Aspartame is two-hundred times sweeter
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
beverages, but table sugar is not the only sugar there is. There are many artificial sugars that many people now-a-days aren’t aware of. In this research paper I will be identifying four different types of synthetic sugars which are: Saccharin, Aspartame, Sucralose, and Sodium cyclamate. Synthetic sugars, or artificial sweeteners, have both positive and negative effects that can either make a big impact in our body or a small impact. Synthetic sugars can be used in many ways but are most commonly
An example is the Aspartame found in diet soda. Focusing on diet soda, it is shown that it is linked to even more diseases and causes more side effects than regular soda. Furthermore, “Numerous studies over the past several years have reported links between diet soda and weight gain, diabetes, heart problems, and other health issues. Most recently, headlines sounded alarms about a higher chance of dementia and stroke among diet soda drinkers” (Is Drinking…). The aspartame that is used in the
The test are showing astonishing results that the makers of aspartame do not want to get out to the masses. A test was conducted by a well-established Italian cancer institute, Ramazzini Foundation (CSPI). It was comprised of a long term study linking the effects of aspartame on lab rats. The rats develop an increase rate in lymphomas, leukemia, and breast cancers (CSPI). The Center for Science in the Public Interest
sugar-sweetened drinks by drinking beverages filled with artificial sweeteners such as aspartame to avoid weight gain. However, studies have shown that the adverse neurological and visceral effects of aspartame demonstrate that artificial sweeteners are more harmful than helpful; therefore, artificial sweeteners, especially aspartame, should not be ingested. Aspartame can cause neurological effects that are hazardous to humans. Aspartame is metabolized into 50 percent phenylalanine, 40 percent aspartic acid, and
substitutes that many people use to maintain their weight and diabetes. But, what many people do not understand is that some specific artificial sweeteners are not all they are cracked up to be. According to who consume diet coke, which contains aspartame, on a regular basis will be fatter one year from the time they began drinking diet coke. Many artificial sugars are in the everyday items that people eat/drink including soda, chewing gum, energy drinks, granola bars, cereal, and much more. There
