My Dragon's Lair Sharing is the reason for my being...: Learn all about Aspartame & Splenda !

I have been saying since these products came out for artificial sweeteners, that if it kills the lab rats it will kill us. Now there is proof that there was even a small amount adminstered that caused death. Including brought one animal back to life as a case study, and then died again. No it is that fraud was part of the process of getting aproved. This is a very detailed report of why you should not feel that it is some harmless, other form of safe sugar. Please read and take action. Don't open the little packages, and try to choose products without it included! This includes years of study and information you should not miss learning about. We need more people to get the Truth out to the Public! LI

Aspartame Sweetness Disguised as Disease or Death?
Also Known As Equal®, Nutrasweet®, or Spoonful® September 7th, 1996

UPDATE June 25, 2007 CSPI Urges Consumers To Avoid Aspartame

The CSPI, the Consumer Science Protection Institute issued a warning to consumers today in a press release. Full CSPI Story

As a result of the new study Ramazzini Foundation, the CSPI downgraded aspartame with their warning to consumers from "use caution" rating to "everyone should avoid aspartame." The CSPI also urges everyone to avoid the artificial sweeteners acesulfame potassium an saccharin. It rates sucralose, also known by the brand name Splenda, as safe, which I do not agree with. Later on, I'll tell you why Splenda is not safe as well...why? It is basically made from chlorine.

The Ramazzini Foundation new study published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, found statistically that aspartame significantly increases lymphomas and leukemias in rats. The rats were fed as little as 20 milligrams of the sweetener per kilogram of body weight which is an amount of what some people consume. The new study is superior to a similar one released in 2005 which exposed rats to aspartame before their birth.

This is a significant move by the CSPI who finally is joining those of us who have informing consumers for over the last ten years not to consume aspartame.

UPDATE 4-29-07 DOES A NEW STUDY SHOW THAT ALTERATIONS ON GENES
IN VARIOUS ORGANS IN ANIMALS OCCUR WHEN ANY AMOUNT OF ASPARTAME INGESTED?
YES ! The following study below was published January, 2007 in the Hungary VIVO Jouarnal. The study was performed by the Institute of Public Health in Hungary and can be found on the National Institutes of Health website. It is a very significant study that shows that aspartame ALTERS genes in various organs, especially, lymphoreticular organs, bone-marrow and kidney organs in rats receiving aspartame. Lymphoreticular organs are your immune system, lymph nodes etc. This shows that aspartame ALTERS the genes in these organs, thus, this can result in disease. Any time a gene is altered by any source, chemical, radiation or food allergies, it can cause diseases.

Dr. Janet Starr Hull, PhD UPDATE 10-1-2005 NEW BOOK JUST PUBLISHED ON SPLENDA®
September 2, 2005 Splenda®: Is It Safe or Not? Dr. Janet Hull has a new book that was just published on September 1st, 2005. Splenda® is just as deadly as aspartame. (below)

What is the chemical makeup of Splenda®?

SPLENDA ® Sweeteners Get SPLENDA ® Sweetener Products . A Delicious Alternative To Sugar. Will not open for important notice at the bottom.

Sucralose also known as Splenda® is synthesized by this five-step process: Poisons!

What foods have had complaints from having this added. With the warning: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Since 1970, more than 100 research studies have confirmed serious adverse reactions to Aspartame. Yet...aspartame was given approval by the FDA for limited use on July 26, 1974 as a free flowing substitute, tablets for sweetening hot beverages, ( this is deadly because heat creates the neuro-toxin methanol ), cereals, gum, and dry bases.

An 11 year old girl repeated an experiment

MOST IMPORTANTLY - JENNIFER'S STUDY SHOWED: The aspartame contained in diet soda stored over time breaks down into formaldehyde and DKP, two very dangerous poisons. Taste tests revealed a noticeable difference among tasters as well. The higher the heat of storage, the worse the taste.

Formaldehyde Is A Deadly Neurotoxin! Formaldehyde a known carcinogen. It is known to cause Squamous Cell Carcinoma in experimental animals. It causes retinal damages, interferes with DNA replication and causes birth defects. Formaldehyde stores itself in fat cells, particularly on the hips and thighs. It is potentially toxic to the retina and optic nerve. These organs are highly vulnerable to metabolic disturbances and neurotoxins because of their unique metabolic requirements. Methanol and its by products cause swelling of the optic nerve and degeneration of ganglion cells in the retina. Repeated exposure to low doses of formaldehyde are shown to cause a wide range of health problems, ( John 19194, Liu 1991, Molhave, 1986, National Research Council 1981, page 175-220, Sirvasta 1992

Posted by: butch at March 2, 2005 Your article is an inspiration to more carefully choose which 'foods' to buy and consume. I'll spread the word.
Posted by: Patricia Brummel at March 4, 2005 Very informative and very interesting. An article worth passing along.
Posted by: Dr. Janet Starr Hull at March 13, 2005 Thank you for the support. I, like most of us, was hoping Splenda would be a solution to the toxic aspartame travesty responsible for deteriorating the health of young and old over the past twenty years. When I began my research into Splenda over 2 years ago, I was disappointed to learn that it is just another chemical "trick" to support the modern-day chemical food dependencies of the sugar-free lifestyle. Wouldn't it be nice to see marketers promote true healthy products? But, unfortunately it's not with Splenda.
Posted by: highschoollifter at April 14, 2005 *here's my opinion. Even if sucralose is a carcinogen, the amount one would need to digest is beyond our capability of consuming! I have read numerous reports documenting that ounces and ounces of splenda would have to be consumed daily for yrs in order to have somewhat of a risk. Sadly people abuse articficial sweetners these days, especially crazy atkin dieters. When used correctly, (such as a BRIEF diet period and not consumed everyday like too many people do), sucralose is a great diet aid, but not a miracle
Posted by: Natilie at April 18, 2005 THANK YOU SO MUCH for this very helpful and extremely informative information! I am doing a research proposal for my psych' class and you have put into plain words what other studies and web sites have not, plus you stated obvious concerns that should be at the front of all of our minds when it comes to consuming artificial anything!!! Thanx again, hopefully I will get an A+!
Posted by: Dr. Janet Starr Hull at April 26, 2005 I wish everyone was so disciplined, but most are not. It is easy to slip into the habit of drinking a 12 pack of diet cola while at work every day. And, then there's the sweetener blends, where you get two or three diet chemical sweeteners in one product. What a chemical cocktail! And, if you are sick, ill or weak with kidney disease or bladder problems, MS or Parkinson’s, for example, these chemicals only weaken the body more. Diabetics tend to use way too many chemical sweeteners trying to maintain what they think is a normal diet. And children – wow! They are learning that there are no limits to what they want - eat and drink all you desire with no penalty. (Hence, childhood obesity is off the charts!)

I think one of the biggest issues here is the lack of good communication about the downside of these products and exactly how and when to use them while maintaining a whole foods diet.

Totally unintentional to use someone's Broadband. They say I used their broadband by linking to their photos. So I have removed them and gotten them from elsewhere. Which is a good thing cause this is of course not your only source to finding this information. I posted this So you have this information which is so important! We are being ruthlessly sabataged, mamed, suffer at the hands of big business for profit. Does it make sence to kill off your way to have a living. I guess it could be looked at a population control plan? Give us Cancer and we die. Thus helps with the world problem of feeding and housing us? Oh that is my twisted way of looking at why people (companies) would deliberately poison human beings. Boycott things that are bad for you! As you'll see there is very little it takes to cause sickness and death. Glad I found proof to what I have been saying all along! People's work is very valued and respected by LI. And when there is something very important to share I believe it is what the consumer needs to be given access to and why they should follow a link!
