Aspartame, the artificial sweetener found in many diet sodas and used as an ‘alternative’ sweetener, has been found recently to have detrimental – specifically, cancerous – effects.
A study performed by researcher Victoria Innes-Brown, after mounting concerns with how much diet coke her family members seemed to consume daily, showed that of 48 rats experimented on up to 67 percent of all females developed tumors roughly the size of golf balls or larger. The male population didn’t do too well either: 21 percent of the males developed similar cancerous growths.

For the course of her two-and-a-half-year study, Innes-Brown used a dose of NutraSweet (found on shelves in food stores across the nation) comparable to that of 14 cans of diet soda for her 24 female test subjects and 13 cans for her other 24 male subjects; both the amount approved by the FDA (a 50mg per kilogram ratio) as a reasonable dose, and the amount consumed by some likely uninformed individuals.
Though it may seem as news to some readers, aspartame has been a known carcinogen for quite some time.
Artificial sweetener aspartame (NutraSweet) still included in countless products despite tumor link
Aspartame researcher Dr. Soffritti did a similar pair of studies to Innes-Brown’s. The first study found that consumption of the equivalent of 4 to 5 bottles of diet soda per day yielded high rates of cancerous growths among many of his subjects; the highest dose producing 25 percent of females with cancerous cell growth, compared to 8.7 percent of the control group females. With this study, Soffritti concluded that aspartame at a ratio as low as 400 parts per million (ppm) was considered carcinogenic.
Initially these findings caused quite the controversy and sparked mass denial and nay saying worldwide. Now, after over 900 published studies on the health hazards of the sweetener the nay saying has been curbed substantially.
Such studies have indicated that aspartame is nothing more than a bond of two amino acids found in our own amino acid profile, with a disproportionately large quantity of each bonded together with a known poison. Metabolized in the body, aspartame can yield other more dangerous chemicals such as Methanol and Formaldehyde.

and taking vitamin e increases our chances of getting prostate cancer by 17%. maybe we don't need about 90% of the crap on the supermarket shelves.
ReplyDeleteBilly - I want freedom of choice.
ReplyDeleteBut I like to warn people like "Hey, look, this stuff causes cancer, I'm not going to use it, but you can if you want to."
I sure don't want some government(with genocide on their agenda) to limit my supply of vitamins. The U.S. news has really started citing (questionable) studies saying how dangerous vitamins are. That's to get people psychologically ready for "vitamin control" in my opinion.
The NWO says "Useless eaters" don't even deserve food, much less vitamins!"
