As with everything, moderation is the key. It doesn’t matter if you are comsuming carbs, fats, or artificial sweetners, if you do so in moderation and in a well balanced way, it should have little or no affect on your overall health.

As far as I’m concerned, there is a greater risk of harmful side affects from driving in rush hour traffic with my window down for “fresh air”…

Why would you trust the FDA? It is an agency run by corrupt leaders.

As described at naturalnews.com

According to Byron J. Richards, author of “Fight For Your Health: Exposing The FDA’S Betrayal of America,” the FDA is in a position to change the health and wellbeing of all Americans, but are set to steer that change in the wrong direction, “straight over a cliff.”

The root of this problem, Richards says, is the involvement of the pharmaceutical industry — also known as “Big Pharma” — in the FDA decision-making process.

“The top two positions at the FDA are now headed by Big Pharma representatives,” Richards says. “The Bush-appointed new FDA leadership is intent on removing any brakes being applied to the drug approval process, quite happy to turn ill Americans into human guinea pigs.”

The foods and drugs approved by the FDA have killed millions of Americans every decade. Most Americans are not aware of this because the mainstream media refuses to cover them. Trusting the FDA is like trusting a crook with the key to your safe.

For example, refined sugar is not all “natural.” The true natural sugar found in organic plant-based food is unprocessed and accompanied by certain natural substances that are needed for our bodies to safely break it down into blood sugar.

When we eat a fruit, we are not just ingesting sugar and water, but also synergistic components, such as mineral activators, enzymes and co-vitamin helpers, and fiber. These components have specific roles to play for helping our bodies to safely and effectively utilize nutrients.

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener. It is created in lab. A great portion of aspartame is made with the help of genetically modified bacteria. It is actually the feces of the genetically modified bacteria. Visit the link below for more info.

Sucralose (Splenda) is also an artificial sweetener. It is created in lab and is a chlorinated compound. Sucralose was accidentally discovered while trying to create a new insecticide. In other words, it is basically an insecticide.

The only alternative sweetener I would recommend is stevia. However, purchase stevia that is as close to its natural state as possible.

If you want to learn more about the toxic effects of artificial sweetener, I recommend reading EXCITOTOXINS: The Taste That Kills by Russell Blaylock, M.D. He is one of the top leading neurosurgeon in the world.

The above website says artificial sweeteners are not even truly artificial and that they are fine even for pregnant women! So, obviously now I am confused. Who do I believe???
