Hidden Dangers of Diet Soda

Beverage manufacturers have done such a great job deceiving consumers about diet soda that most of them think that diet soda is a healthier alternative to regular soda. This is an assumption that consumers will regret later on in life if they do not reduce their diet soda consumption, or stop drinking it. One of the most dangerous ingredients found in diet soda is artificial sweetener. Aspartame (also known as AminoSweet) and sucralose (also known as Splenda) are two of the most common artificial sweeteners found in diet soda.

This process is harmful to nerve cells because it can fry them or reduce their functions. Studies have shown that neurotoxins can shorten the life span of nerve cells and contribute to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s Chorea and Parkinson’s.

Aspartame: The Artificial Sweetener That Kills

There are currently more than a dozen artificial sweetener in the market but one of the most dangerous and widely used is aspartame. This sugar substitute is a synthetic substance made up of methanol (wood alcohol), aspartic acid and phenylalanine. When aspartame reaches the small intestine, it reacts to certain enzyme which causes it to release methanol. Methanol is considered very toxic to the human body and can cause blindness or even death. It is important to know that some fruit juice do contain methanol but they also usually contain ethanol, the antidote for methanol. Aspartame can also release a byproduct called aspartate which is an excitatory amino acid.

Amphetamine and Parkinson’s Disease

The drug amphetamine is classified as an excitotoxins by private drug researchers. They suggested that amphetamine stimulates certain nerve cells to death, which is why they believed it is a major contributor to Parkinson’s disease. The way amphetamine stimulates nerve cells cause them to deplete their ATP and phocreatinine faster. Excitotoxins such as amphetamine, MSG and aspartame (an artificial sweetener), destroy nerve cells similar to how power surges destroy electrical devices but just not as intense. Private drug researchers found that amphetamine can cause destruction to a group of neurons that is a part of the nigrostriatal system.

The Danger of Equal Sweetener

Equal, also known as Aspartame, NutraSweet and Spoonful, is one of the most widely used artificial sweetener in the United States. Found in more than 6,000 products nationwide, Equal is now a part of our daily lives. Even though the FDA confirmed that Equal is safe, independent researchers claimed that it is not and can cause: cancer, obesity, diabetes, headaches, blindness, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, and seizures. So, which one should you believe? The FDA or independent researchers? My advise is to trust the independent researchers more than the FDA because independent researchers are not influenced by the money from food and drug companies.
