Alert to Sweetener users

I have to separately mention this thing, because of the importance of the matter. If you know anyone who is using alternate sweeteners, kindly go through the following facts.

Most of the Sugar alternatives available in the market contain an ingredient called 'Aspartame'. But those manufacturers conceal the side effects of it. (or even lie about it.) A famous chef from a big star hotel appears on the ad and says something, and many people fall for it. They don't know what they are after. Horrible !!!

PLEASE NOTE:These are not my own version or comments. These information have been collected from various sources including few websites. (http://www.sweetpoison.com/ and few other websites.)

Aspartame Side Effects

The components of aspartame can lead to a number of health problems, as you have read. Side effects can occur gradually, can be immediate, or can be acute reactions.

According to Lendon Smith, M.D. there is an enormous population suffering from side effects associated with aspartame, yet have no idea why drugs, supplements and herbs don’t relieve their symptoms. Then, there are users who don’t ‘appear’ to suffer immediate reactions at all. Even these individuals are susceptible to the long-term damage caused by excitatory amino acids, phenylalanine, methanol, and DKP. Adverse reactions and side effects of aspartame include:

Eye
blindness in one or both eyes
decreased vision and/or other eye problems such as: blurring, bright flashes, squiggly lines, tunnel vision, decreased night vision

Aspartame may trigger, mimic, or cause the following illnesses:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Epstein-Barr
Post-Polio Syndrome
Lyme Disease
Grave’s Disease
Meniere’s Disease
Alzheimer’s Disease
ALS
Epilepsy
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
EMS
Hypothyroidism
Mercury sensitivity from Amalgam fillings
Fibromyalgia
Lupus
non-Hodgkins
Lymphoma
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)

These are not allergies or sensitivities, but diseases and disease syndromes. Aspartame poisoning is commonly misdiagnosed because aspartame symptoms mock textbook ‘disease’ symptoms, such as Grave’s Disease.

Aspartame changes the ratio of amino acids in the blood, blocking or lowering the levels of serotonin, tyrosine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and adrenaline. Therefore, it is typical that aspartame symptoms cannot be detected in lab tests and on x-rays. Textbook disorders and diseases may actually be a toxic load as a result of aspartame poisoning.

So, what next?

Well, the above information may be scary but it is true. Isn't there any safe sweetener available, other than sugar? YES. There is one herbal sweetener available. It is VESTIGE STEVIA. This has been used by many countries traditionally. This sweetener has been observed for 2 years by USFDA before approving it. It is one of the safest sugar alternatives available now. And VESTIGE STEVIA costs almost the same as other sweeteners. (Actually the cost is 30% more, but the sweetness is 50% more. So, you will be using lesser quantity than other sweeteners.)

VESTIGE STEVIA What is Stevia? A south american native sweetener plant of sunflower family Stevia rebaudiana, commonly known as sweet leaf, sugarleaf or simply stevia, is the only natural sweetener. Used as a sweetener and sugar substitute, stevia's taste slowly sets in and stays longer than the taste of sugar. Stevia is the only natural sweetener which does not have any side effects. Stevia extracts are usually 300 times sweeter than sugar and are preferred as a very low calorie substitute to sugar. It is believed to reduce the calories from the food which makes it a suitable option for the calorie conscious as well as diabetics. Vestige Stevia is a preferred choice over other Stevia extracts as it does not have a bitter after-taste. Diabetes Diabetes is one of primary reasons for adult blindness, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), gangrene and amputations. Obesity, sedentary lifestyles, stress, tension, lack of exercise and family history increase the possibility of diabetes. Diabetes might also lead to kidney failure, cardiovascular problems and neurological disorders. Diabetics are 4 times more likely to have coronary heart disease and at the risk of heart stroke. Also, Gestational diabetes is risky for pregnant women and their foetus. Obesity Obesity is a growing medical condition these days where excess body fat accumulates to an extent leading to an adverse effect on health, reduced life expectancy along with a number of health problems like osteoporosis, heart diseases, immobility etc. Obesity increases the possibility of various diseases like type 2 diabetes, breathing difficulties during sleep, snoring, certain types of cancer, and osteoarthritis. Benefits of Vestige Stevia: 100% natural sugar substitute. Safe for diabetics and weight conscious. Calorie free. Fat-Free. Carbohydrate free. Helps in regulating blood sugar. 100-300 times sweeter than Sugar. No ASPARTAME. No side-effect. No bitter after-taste.
