The dangerous artificial sweetener, aspartame, used commonly under the label NutraSweet is now being re-branded as AminoSweet. Watch out! This sweetener has an uncertain history.
Many people believe that artificial sweeteners are more healthy than all natural sugars or honey but don't correlate to years of mounting evidence. Artificial sweeteners are created to taste sweeter with fewer calories, but over time this comes with an enormous cost to the consumer's health.
Raw, natural sugars like honey are better for the body than artificial sweeteners.
Wikipedia Experience has taught us that anything artificially made in a laboratory is probably going to be difficult for the body to process and remove. This often causes serious health issues as well as weight gain because toxins found in the sweeteners or their metabolic by-products cannot be easily chelated or removed. This is especially true of foods labeled as diet or "sugar-free".Anything labeled as diet or “sugar-free” should typically be avoided at all costs. These include:
- Instant breakfasts
- Pharmaceuticals, including over-the-counter medicines, cheap supplements
- Breath mints
- Shake mixes
- Cereals
- Soft drinks
- Sugar-free chewing gum
- Tabletop sweeteners
- Cocoa mixes
- Tea beverages
- Coffee beverages
- Instant teas and coffees
- Gelatin desserts
- Topping mixes
- Juice beverages
- Wine coolers
- Laxatives
- Yogurt
- Multivitamins
- Milk drinks
