Sweet and Evil- why it is bad for you
So, I might rant about the harms of artificial sweetener, but what is the big deal? What kind of negative affects are actually caused by using the stuff? And this is probably all in this girl’s head, right?
So lets leave it to the doctors to decide. My personal experience is only one very small reason why people should stop using artificial sweetener. There are countless studies that prove the substances harmful and addictive. I have listed a few websites in this post for you to go look at for even more validation.
Consider this:
- James Bowen M.D: “Splenda/sucralose is simply chlorinated sugar; a chlorocarbon. Common chlorocarbons include carbon tetrachloride, trichlorethelene and methylene chloride, all deadly. Chlorine is nature's Doberman attack dog, a highly excitable, ferocious atomic element employed as a biocide in bleach, disinfectants, insecticide, WWI poison gas and hydrochloric acid.”
- Dr. Joseph Mercola: Aspartame accounts for over 75 percent of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA. Many of these reactions are very serious including seizures and death.(1) A few of the 90 different documented symptoms listed in the report as being caused by aspartame include: Headaches/migraines, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, depression, fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision problems, hearing loss, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain.
