Episode 25:50 This Stuff Can Ruin Your Health!!! 15 Reasons Why You Should NEVER Ingest Aspartame (NutraSweet) Did you know that the artificial sweetener Aspartame (NutraSweet) was originally designed by the pharmaceutical company G.D. Searle to be a drug for stomach ulcers? It was, but it failed miserably. However, despite its inability to treat or prevent ulcers, there WAS something about Aspartame that the researchers found interesting: It had a sweet taste to it. This sweet taste intrigued the researchers and inspired them to look into making Aspartame a sugar substitute. Why? Because an artificial sweetener would make them, and the company, a ton of money!!! Unfortunately, there was a problem: In research studies performed on rats, Aspartame was shown to cause tumors: Brain tumors, pancreatic tumors, uterine tumors and breast tumors. That's not good… and SHOULD HAVE prevented Aspartame from ever getting approval by the FDA for human consumption. So, what happened? How did Aspartame get approved? It's a fascinating, and disgusting, story… one I share on this week's episode. I also share 15 dangerous side-effects of Aspartame… each providing a reason why you should NEVER consume it. PLEASE give this episode a good listen and then share it with everyone you know… especially those who like to consume "diet" foods and drinks that contain Aspartame (NutraSweet).
