Aspartame - deadly neurotoxin

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-mercola/aspartame-health-risks_b_668692.html

stop drinking diet soda!

 

My sister was diagnosed with Nerve Palsy. Amazing how all of her symptoms went away when she cut out aspartame and now has 100% full range of motion again.

I'm not gonna lie, I will have a diet dr pepper once a month or so, but neither my husband nor I bring any type of soft drinks into our home anymore.

 

If it is not fat and calorie fortified, I won't eat it.

 

most people will die of cancer anyway

 

A very good/informative thread!!

 

AW, SHIT! NOT AGAIN!:coffee:

that article is a crock of 100% pure grade bullshit and; IT STINKTH HORRIBLE!uke:

the article is by a guy who, at one time was a real doctor... he is now a certified snake oil doctor, and here is my proof,

www.quackwatch.org/11nd/mercola.html

from quackwatch.org go to the national insitute for health website and, look up the all the research
studies that, have been published on aspartame to date from around the world.
i doubt, if there has been any major changes, in the scientific evidence from, a couple of weeks back when, i was last over at that website.
here is the link,

www.nih.gov

how many times must i have a hissy fit rant on you people learning critical thinking skills!:toetap05:

where to start with you all?

ok, i'll start with laedi.

what do you mean by 'nerve palsy'? that term covers one hell of a lot of disorders!
i'm going to play a hunch here. by 'nerve palsy,' i have the gut feeling your refering to mononeuropathy.
my, that is such a big word too!
mononeuropathy is a neurological disorder, that clears up in most cases on it own. it can last from anywhere to a few days to years or, for life.

'correlation is not causation.'
just because your sister quit consuming aspartame does not prove that is what cured her. that, needs, to, be, checked, out.

it is your turn now dope.

if it does not have calories and fat to it, you won't consume it?
HOLY SHIT! WHAT IS YOUR SECERT TO STILL BEING ALIVE?
your telling us you never, ever, consume water?
water has neither calories or fat.
quite a few fruits and veggies have no fat to them.
you have never consumed an apple, cherry, or orange?
me thinkth you strech your claime a little bit to much dope.


now i get to have my wicked way with raz!
don't worry raz. i know it is your first time, and i will be gentle with you.

your in error on the point you made raz.
most people in first world nations die from heart disease.
cancer is ranked something like number 2 or 3 as cause of death in first world nations.

in third world nations most people die from animal or insect related diseases.

 

:icon_bs: :iamwithstupid:

 

Fall back in line, sheeple. I don't have time for anyone who kisses the FDA's ass.

 

WTF? i don't kiss fda ass! the fda has alway been a political football!

I DID NOT GIVE ONE REFRENCE OR LINK TO THE FDA!
the charter of the fda does NOT give the fda the funds or, authorty to run independent testing on anything or, to recall any dangerous products on the market either!

it can only accept and evaluate the documentation given it, by whomever wants somthing on the market. the fda CAN NOT accept or evalutate studies from any independted groups.
the fda has ALWAYS been a weak tool, and that is because of pro-corporate politicians.

the only link i gave was to the national institute of health. THE NIH IS NOT THE FDA! they are independent of each other.

the nih collects ALL published scienctific studies from all over the world. not just studies from corporations, but all studies from sorces that are not corporation front groups too.

as for corporations. that does include corporations like whole foods, traders joes, ben and jerrys, and so forth that are publicly traded on stock markets. all of those so called "hippie" corporations are every bit as shitty as mainstream corporations such as wal-mart or con agra are.
the "hippie" corporations, play the same kind of political games with the fda as mainstream corporations do.

some people are just unwilling to learn how to reason.
the function of reason, is to alert us when we need to broaden or change our models of reality.
oh, and, reason is NOT the reasonable either.
if you don't understand the difference between two... well, that proves who is the sheeple, and whom is not.

 

For years the FDA refused to say that Aspartame was safe for human consumption. When Donald Rumsfeld (CEO of Searle, manufacturer of Aspartame) joined Ronald Regan's staff he appointed an FDA commissioner that would approve aspartame.

Do YOUR homework, asshat.

 

Also, you linked quackwatch. It doesn't get much more FDA asskissing than that.

 

well mr. reason, have you followed the money trail behind these studies? just curious how far you have researched this.

 

Analysis Shows Nearly 100% of Independent Research Finds Problems With Aspartame

An analysis of peer reviewed medical literature using MEDLINE and other databases was conducted by Ralph G. Walton, MD, Chairman, The Center for Behavioral Medicine, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine. Dr. Walton analyzed 164 studies which were felt to have relevance to human safety questions. Of those studies, 74 studies had aspartame industry-related sponsorship and 90 were funded without any industry money.

Of the 90 non-industry-sponsored studies, 83 (92%) identified one or more problems with aspartame. Of the 7 studies which did not find a problems, 6 of those studies were conducted by the FDA. Given that a number of FDA officials went to work for the aspartame industry immediately following approval (including the former FDA Commissioner), many consider these studies to be equivalent to industry-sponsored research.

Of the 74 aspartame industry-sponsored studies, all 74 (100%) claimed that no problems were found with aspartame. This is reminiscent of tobacco industry research where it is primarily the tobacco research which never finds problems with the product, but nearly all of the independent studies do find problems.

The 74 aspartame industry-sponsored studies are those which one inveriably sees cited in PR/news reports and reported by organizations funded by Monsanto/Benevia/NutraSweet (e.g., IFIC, ADA). These studies have severe design deficiencies which help to guarantee the "desired" outcomes. These design deficiencies may not be apparent to the inexperienced scientist.

 

Its obvious that aspartame is a toxin. Look at all of the thousands and thousands and thousands that have severe reactions to it. Thats not even including the ones that have reactions and don't attribute it to aspartame for whatever reason.

 

thanks for all the responses, perhaps aspartames harmful effects isn't fully established, there is a lot to suggest it is. why even take that chance with your health? high fructose syrup is pretty bad for you to so you guys should avoid soda anyway

 

Yes I have some family members who wont listen to me who I think are having problems due to this crap.... THEY KEEP DRINKING IT AND WONT LISTEN TO ME... They are so brainwashed by doctors who say its safe..... Its very sad......
