Aspartame, Sweet Deception - Killing a Healthy Diet

Because aspartame is still in so many products - 1 is too many - we have to continue to report this in order to inform those who have not read it or don't know, and to remind those who have read it be need a refresher. It's bad! - as are most artificial sweeteners. One trusted source on sweeteners is Dr. Mercola, who claims to have had 5 doctors working full-time for about 5 years to report on sweeteners. Here's a quick excerpt of what he has on the subject --

Sold commercially under names like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, Equal-Measure and Canderel, aspartame can be found in more than 6,000 products, including:

  • Diet sodas, juice drinks, and flavored waters
  • Chewing gum
  • Table-top sweeteners
  • Diet and diabetic foods
  • Breakfast cereals, such as Fiber One
  • Fiber supplements, such as orange flavored Metamucil
  • Jams
  • Sweets

It’s even found in vitamins, as well as prescription and over the-counter drugs such as Alka Seltzer Plus, and some Tylenol medications. 

Food For Thought

Juice Plus+ is made by juicing 17 different fruits and vegetables into a vitamin supplement all in a capsule form. A cup of other vitamins and a tablespoon of apples and many other fruits, all for health. When you start with a juice from a fruit or vegetable, and then you add others, you get a healthy mix of nutrients with the water and sugars removed. But when you dry the mix, you are left with the nutrients and that is what goes into a Juice Plus+ Capsule. Juice Plus. The sugar and water are removed through a drying process that leaves you with all the healthy nutrients. Do you know the juices from which the fruit juice plus blend is made? Apples, oranges, pineapples, cranberries, peaches, cherries, and papaya juice - and that's just the fruit juices! Add the vegetables with carrots, parsley, beets, kale, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, and tomato and you've got the vegetable juice plus product, that is a healthy product that supports your health! It helps you get nutrients you need. When I have fresh fruits and vegetables, I feel good, but I don't always get enough.

Like our Weight loss plan that is a doctor approved diet plan, this is a healthy choice. A diet and weight loss plan that is endorsed by healthy dieters around the world, you can always lose weight, but are you doing it the healthy way? Oprah's Dr. Mehmet Oz knows that a diet is temporary but a healthy lifestyle with a healthy diet plan in place is for good. Even Juice plus+ is made from the juice from an orange, a lot of orange juice, that gives it a lot of nutrition when a cup of results and lemon is added. Add fountain water without some breville and juice fountain, although fruits and other juice is the convenient way to get nutrients but many convenient even if you have apple juice. When I can't have those healthy and fresh products, I use juice plus vitamin, and juice nsa plus is a way to get healthy with juice plus vitamin, so if you are a distributor juice plus, then the gummies juice plus is juice plus supplement. The juice plus scam that we see does not hold much credence, but it is a problem. You may have read a juice plus review that is similar to acai juice plus. If you are interested in any juice plus product and you want to learn if there are any benefits, then look at the juice plus research. Breville fountain juice plus is not one of the things that is available, but a complete juice plus line can be found at www.jpsupplement.com. There is another common product by Breville -it's a fountain of juice products that have health benefits.

Every single ingredient juice plus has fiber juice plus and can be found in the capsules. Don't get ebay juice plus because you can't be sure of the quality.

One 12 ounce diet soda contains about 180 mg of aspartame, or 15 mg of aspartame per ounce, which equals approximately 4.5 packets of NutraSweet.

According to the industry-run Aspartame Information Center website – a propaganda masterpiece, if I ever saw one -- the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI), as set by the FDA, is 50 mg/kg. That equates to about 20 cans of 12-ounce diet soda if you’re a 150 lb. adult, or six 12-ounce cans for a 50-pound child.   

The ADI for tabletop sweeteners is 97 packets for adults, and 32 packets for children.  read more...

Comment: As we try to reiterate over and over, the natural untouched and unprocessed form is always better than man-made (99% of the time - i.e. filtered water over tap). As we reported with raw milk - a favorite decades ago that is now only seen on tables of families with farms - juice drinks (i.e. not from concentrate), breads made with bleached, enriched flour; and countless other products, the natural way is the best way. Not just labeled 'natural' but the actual item straight from Mother Nature is the healthier way.
