According to Natural News, over a
billion people consume aspartame in their foods and beverages across the world,
believing it to be a safe ingredient, but what they probably don't know is that
aspartame currently accounts for over 75% of all side effect complaints
received by the FDA's Adverse Reaction Monitoring System (ARMS) for the past four
years. It is banned by health-conscious countries all over the world, especially
where there is a national healthcare system in place.
Aspartame is best known by the
brand names NutraSweet, Equal and Spoonful. Aspartame is a synthetic chemical
combination which is comprised of approximately 50% phenylalanine, 40% aspartic
acid and 10% methanol. Aspartame is found in thousands of foods, drinks, candy,
gum, vitamins, health supplements and even pharmaceuticals.
Each of the three ingredients in aspartame
poses its own dangers, and each is well documented as causing a long list of
side effects and dangerous health conditions. Watch for the ingredient acesulfame
potassium, which is another artificial sweetener similar to aspartame.

Monosodium glutamate, better
known as MSG, is a form of concentrated salt added to foods to enhance their
flavor. This salt version of glutamic acid is an amino acid that the body can
produce on its own, but the MSG we find on store shelves is processed and comes
from fermented sugar beets. Because this kind of MSG is processed, it can cause
many adverse reactions, including skin rashes, itching, hives, nausea,
vomiting, migraine headaches, asthma, heart irregularities, depression and even
seizures (http://www.msgtruth.org/migraine.htm).
Since MSG acquired its infamous
reputation for causing migraines, the food industry has given it new names and
new forms, including autolyzed yeast, yeast extract, maltodextrin, hydrolyzed
protein, sodium caseinate, monopotassium glutamate and textured protein.
Consumers who are watching out for monosodium glutamate in long ingredients
lists usually don't know the aliases, but they should.

Many gluten-free foods still
contain MSG, aspartame, sorbitol, sucralose, maltodextrin, GMO corn sugar and
other genetically modified additives that pollute and clog up the digestive
tract and cause central nervous system disorders and ailments. The buck doesn't
stop with the term "gluten-free." Consumers need to read the labels
and know the food toxins that still invade these so called "healthy
food" diets. Yes, gluten-free is a good start for people who have
digestive issues, especially people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS),
Crohn's, diverticulitis, acid reflux, constipation and celiac disease, but
there is much more to it than just filtering out gluten. Let's take a look at
what gluten does to the body and then take an inside look at how the media
downplays it.
Take for instance Quaker's
"Popped" rice snacks - specifically, the "sweet chili"
flavor. The ingredients list includes hydrolyzed soy and corn protein,
monosodium glutamate, maltodextrin, soy sauce, yeast extract and sucralose,
just to list the GMO ingredients! MSG and artificial sweeteners can damage the
central nervous system and are all genetically modified. Synthetic food warps
your cells and fuels cancer and tumor development. Pesticides and herbicides in
the soy and corn protein (like Monsanto's RoundUp) break down the human immune
system by eliminating good gut bacteria; this is the number one cause of
disease and disorder.
