ZERO CALORIE SWEETENERS:
One of the sneakiest and most harmful substances in your kitchen is aspartame.
Aspartame is a sweetener that is much sweeter than sugar but has fewer calories. Aspartame can be found in diet sodas, coffee and yogurt. While aspartame products, such as NutraSweet and Equal, are deceptively packaged as a healthier alternative to sugar, there are a lot of harmful side effects and potential for poisoning. The symptoms of aspartame poisoning can impact your psychological and physiological functioning and may even lead to death.
"Natural flavors" is a sneaky way to hide aspartame on the labels of many of your favorite health foods. They sneak it into everything. Yogurt, diet foods, diet drinks, sauces, and condiments.
It causes problems in every bodily system.
