Did you know Aspartame is a Neuro-toxin? Aspartame is made of the two naturally occurring amino acids, phenylalanine and aspartic acid, which are also components of proteins in our body and in food. The phenylalanine in aspartame has been slightly modified by adding a methyl group which gives aspartame its sweet taste. As a neurologist-toxin, it basically “excites” your brain cells to the point of death.
although Aspartame being labeled by IARC as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” does not mean that aspartame is actually linked to cancer. The FDA disagrees with IARC’s conclusion that these studies support classifying aspartame as a possible carcinogen to humans.However, certain people with the genetic disease phenylketonuria (PKU), those with advanced liver disease, and pregnant women with hyperphenylalanine (high levels of phenylalanine in blood) have a problem with aspartame because they do not effectively metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine.
In fact, Several studies link aspartame to weight gain, increased appetite, diabetes, metabolic derangement and obesity-related diseases. This artificial sweetener, has also been linked to behavioral and cognitive problems. Possible neurophysiological symptoms include learning problems, headache, seizure, migraines, irritable moods, anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
Yet, every week I see people load their grocery carts with these beverages and it hurts my heart. If folks only knew the damage they were doing to their bodies using this artificial sweetener. Unexplainable, crippling symptoms ALL have a root cause and this could be your cause of inflammation and pain. Try switching to a more natural sweetener
