Artificial Sweeteners - Sweet Deception?

Are artificial sweeteners good for you? Here's one clue: ARTIFICIAL. There is nothing healthful about them. The truth is they are far from healthy. You need to know the facts. Splenda is an artificial, chlorinated substance.Once ingested, for example, it does not leave the body in a timely manner, and the following symptoms have been noticed within a 24-hour period after consuming Splenda products: Itchy skin, hives, wheezing and tightness in the lungs, a c ough or shortness of breath, headaches or migraines, stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, red bloodshot eyes, bloating, diarrhea, heart palpitations, joint aches and pains, anxiety, dizziness, and depression.

Regarding Sweet-N-Low , it is anything but good for you. It has Dextrose, which can upset the stomach, and it has an anti-caking agent called Calcium Silicate. Just not natural.

Equal and the brand name sweetener, Nutrasweet , have aspartame which can contribute to many problems including headaches and even swelling of the brain. Aspartame has been linked to Multiple Sclerosis, brain tumors and brain cancer.

We must be very careful to read food labels. There are so many foods and beverages on the market today that we, as well as our children, consume daily that contain aspartame. Some on the list are: diet soft drinks, over the counter drugs and prescription drugs, yogurt, instant breakfasts, candy, breath mints, sugar free gum, cocoa mixes, coffee beverages, frozen desserts, juice, laxatives, milk drinks, shakes, tea beverages, topping mixes, wine coolers, and the list goes on. Many people make the mistake of not checking labels, and continue to poison themselves and their children, unknowingly.

So what should you use instead? Use raw wild honey or agave nectar instead. They are both nutritious and natural and will add nutrient value to your life instead of substracting from it.

I'd like to challenge you to take the 60 day aspartame test. Give up all aspartame for 60 days and note the improvements in your health!
