Stay Away From "Sugarless" Sweateners and Big Industry

The problem with big industry is that they are are huge money making juggernauts that not even the people in the industry can easily influence - the companies take on a life of their own that controls everyone in it and even those outside of it.

Here is one example: the story of the sugar alternative. It is really worth watching.

The drug in question is called aspartame. Other names for aspartame: Equal, Nutrasweet, Sugar Twin.

And the story involves Donald Rumsfeld, somebody who seems to always crop up around nefarious situations involving large amounts of money and human suffering.

What was Donald Rumsfeld doing before he collaborated with George Bush and Dick Cheney to invade and destroy Iraq (and the US economy and military in the process?)

As CEO of G.D. Searle, he pimped for a chemical called “aspartame.”

For eight years, even the highly corrupt FDA refused to certify aspartame as safe because it produced seizures and brain tumors in lab animals.

Then Ronald Reagan became president and removed the FDA commissioner who was blocking its acceptance.

Rumsfeld’s company followed up by presenting the FDA “new and improved” studies showing the additive to be safe. The data presented was later proven to have been falsified.

Sound familiar? This is not the first time a drug has been pushed through the FDA illegally. But this story serves as a great example of how that process works and how it effects people.

Aspartame is everywhere

Take the time to watch this video if you or loved ones consume aspartame. It is a dangerous substance that causes cumulative damage to the brain and immune system.

The following products often have aspartame in them:

* Breath Mints
* Carbonated Soft Drinks
* Cereals
* Chewing Gum
* Flavored Syrups for Coffee
* Flavored Water Products
* Frozen Ice
* Frozen Ice Cream Novelties
* Fruit Spreads
* Gelatin, Sugar Free
* Hard Candies
* Ice cream Toppings
* Ice Creams, No Sugar Added or Sugar Free
* Iced Tea, Powder
* Iced Tea, Ready to Drink
* Instant Cocoa Mix
* Jams & Jellies
* Juice Blends
* Juice Drinks
* Maple Syrups
* Meal Replacements
* Mousse
* No Sugar Added Pies
* Non-Carbonated Diet Soft drinks
* Nutritional Bars
* Powdered Soft Drinks

* Pudding
* Soft Candy Chews
* Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup
* Sugar Free Cookies
* Sugar Free Ketchup
* Table Top Sweeteners
* Vegetable Drinks
* Yogurt, Drinkable

Bottom line: eat food that is as close to its original source as possible. Stay away at all costs from food that has ingredients you do not recognize. Do you know what homogenized corn oil is? Neither do I. I do know it is one at away from plastic (or something like that, I don’t care enough to research it, I stay away from it).
