Re: Artificial Sweeteners Cause Fat to Stay
I found the below at
"One liter of an aspartame-sweetened beverage can produce about fifty-six milligrams of methanol, or thirty-two times the EPA limit." - Carol Simontacchi, The Crazy Makers: How the Food Industry Is Destroying Our Brains and Harming Our Children
Benzene is a clear, colorless aromatic liquid. It is a carcinogen & it is highly flammable. Benzene, a chemical linked to leukemia, can form in soft drinks containing two ingredients: Vitamin C, also called ascorbic acid, and either of the two preservatives sodium benzoate and potassium benzoate.
The five brands listed by the government were Kraft {Crystal Light}, Cadbury Schweppes {Crush}, Safeway, Giant Food, & Meridian Beverage Co. which makes AquaCal.
Products Made Using Benzene
Precursor in production of drugs
Building block for making plastics, rubber, dyes, resins and synthetic fabrics like nylon and polyester
Industrial solvent
No longer used as an additive in gasoline
Solvent in printing, paints, dry cleaning, etc.
Usually made from other compounds present in petroleum
A natural constituent of crude oil
"Cola drinks can interact adversely with antacids, possibly causing constipation, calcium loss, hypertension, nausea, vomiting, headaches, and kidney damage.
"Aspartame contains methyl or wood alcohol, which can affect fetal brain development.
"Saccharin is a noncaloric petroleum derivative estimated to be three hundred to five hundred times sweeter than sugar… It's used in diet soft drinks… Studies done in the 1970s linked saccharin ingestion to bladder cancer in laboratory animals.
"Soft drinks can decrease the antibacterial action of penicillin and ampicillin." - Dr. Earl Mindell Earl Mindell's New Vitamin Bible
Natural fats from old-fashioned grass-fed animals such as
butter, tallow, lard, and palm and coconut oils have been relegated to the garbage heap.
Cooking oils, pressed from seeds, are made by treating oils with corrosive base, corrosive acid, and bleaching clays. This is done to remove 'minor' ingredients,which have major health benefits, but shorten the shelf stability of the oil.
Hydrogenation increases shelf-life and creates trans-fatty acids, which replace healthy brain & cell-wall fats.
The body needs those 'minor' fats - "Essential Fatty Acids" or EFA's - & include Omega 3's & n-acetyl choline from lecithin. They are what the brain needs for neuro-transmitters; help dissolve excess cholesterol & fats; heart health; health of the meylin sheath;
You might find some information you can use at
Here is some info FYI:
Be sure to read about "Real Milk" & "Fat."
Please remember that when plants are processed to be made into
supplements, the company has to know how tokeep the original
benefits intact by not using chemicals to extrude the nutrients.
Also high heat causes supplements to be de-natured and toxic.
I completely trust Mannatech and Shaklee for their "soy" supplements.
They will actually quit selling something if the product has been
found to have chemicals, e.g. farmers they buy from starting to use
pesticides etc.
I hope this provides help for you. I like and often
use <- don't buy his "chlorella." He changed brands
and the brand he sells now made me very ill.
Thanks for writing back. - Mary
