Aspartame and health care DANGER ...

[dedeleco]

It is an evolution by natural selection, many deaths, like oxygen, a very very large harmful pollutant, photosynthesis, 2 billion years ago, was recovered for our multicellular life, there is 580 million years !!! !!!

Life in its evolution occupies all possible niches, even living with arsenic or hydrogen sulfide, life older than ours !!!

First two words on aspartame:

- in Japan it has been banned since 1969 and Australia has also banned it ...

A blog favorable to aspartame, he lifts the veil without knowing it on the 'truth'?
The author of the article given by Lietseu "would not be reliable" according to this one ...> even as it reveals - taken from the links - very interesting capital official information because it is very contradictory: thus the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), took up the file in 2005/2006, and it reveals stupefying remarks in the introduction to its report:

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has been mandated by the European Commission to assess the carcinogenicity study carried out by the European Foundation for Oncology and Environmental Sciences of Bologna (ERF) on aspartame, an artificial sweetener, which was reported in publications in 2005 and 2006. The ERF considered that the results of their [long-term] study indicated that aspartame was a " pluripotent carcinogen Based on increases in the number of animals carrying malignant, lymphoma / leukemia (mainly in female rats), transitional carcinomas of the renal pelvis and ureter, also in female rats, and malignant schwannomas of the peripheral nerves.

EFSA then asked its scientific group on food additives, flavorings, processing aids and materials in contact with food (AFC) to examine this study with high priority.

Despite the warnings of the European Foundation for Oncology and Environmental Sciences, and on the opinion of a Scientific Committee, the European Authority would judge aspartame as a harmless sweetener:

I find it weird!

How do scientists come to contradict other scientists on such a serious subject, when it comes to the health of hundreds of millions of consumers who consume this sweetener integrated into thousands of different products / presentations, and while we talk about "malignant tumors»On experiments carried out on our genetic cousins, rats: that leaves me speechless!

— Rebelotte in September 2007: new study from the European Oncology (published in "Environmental health perspective", demonstrated the risk of increased cancer linked to aspartame impregnation during fetal life, via the feeding of rats.
- Again the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), gave a scientific opinion on this study in March 2009 and concluded:

[...] "There is no indication of any genotoxic or carcinogenic potential of aspartame and there is no reason to revise the previously established ADI for aspartame at 40 mg / kg bw / day." [...]

Frightening isn't it? This is all the more so since Dr Laurent Chevallier protests:

"What if this product had undiscovered side effects, especially when used in combination with other chemical molecules? We have very little perspective in terms of public health. Will it take a generation to give job precautions? "

The practitioner does not hesitate to quote in his book " Food shams and truths " Charles Wart, chemist in the food industry in Belgium, France and Switzerland, for whom "Excess aspartame destroys neurons by causing an increase in free radicals. The risk is increased for infants, pregnant women, the elderly or those with chronic illnesses. One of the most common complaints among sufferers of the disease. aspartame is memory loss. "

One thing is sure and certain chemically speaking: the methanol contained in aspartame, necessarily turns into formaldehyde in a boiling drink! So we can't say ex abrupto that it is harmless when we know the reaction, without the need to test it! So never put it in tea or coffee (as much as possible). Let us remember that the glues in chipboards contain it and have been widely banished today because of its known carcinogenic effect.

This is why, at least for use in hot drinks, aspartame cannot be recommended! It is therefore difficult to arrive at the conclusion that it would be completely harmless, as the European Authority claims ...

Personally, when I consume something that contains it, I don't feel too well. And I can even have some feelings of vertigo (light drink ... just talking about it, ... pewh!). I note that it contains what is considered by the medical profession as a poison: methanol (but present in the same amount in ... wine ... so ...)

So I'm not concerned because I consume very little ...

Thank you for this info.

it is sad to see trials that are not followed up.
