Interaction of nucleotides with Asp(351) and the conserved phosphorylation loop of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase. (1/86)

The nucleotide binding properties of mutants with alterations to Asp(351) and four of the other residues in the conserved phosphorylation loop, (351)DKTGTLT(357), of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase were investigated using an assay based on the 2', 3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-8-azidoadenosine triphosphate (TNP-8N(3)-ATP) photolabeling of Lys(492) and competition with ATP. In selected cases where the competition assay showed extremely high affinity, ATP binding was also measured by a direct filtration assay. At pH 8.5 in the absence of Ca(2+), mutations removing the negative charge of Asp(351) (D351N, D351A, and D351T) produced pumps that bound MgTNP-8N(3)-ATP and MgATP with affinities 20-156-fold higher than wild type (K(D) as low as 0.006 microM), whereas the affinity of mutant D351E was comparable with wild type. Mutations K352R, K352Q, T355A, and T357A lowered the affinity for MgATP and MgTNP-8N(3)-ATP 2-1000- and 1-6-fold, respectively, and mutation L356T completely prevented photolabeling of Lys(492). In the absence of Ca(2+), mutants D351N and D351A exhibited the highest nucleotide affinities in the presence of Mg(2+) and at alkaline pH (E1 state). The affinity of mutant D351A for MgATP was extraordinarily high in the presence of Ca(2+) (K(D) = 0.001 microM), suggesting a transition state like configuration at the active site under these conditions. The mutants with reduced ATP affinity, as well as mutants D351N and D351A, exhibited reduced or zero CrATP-induced Ca(2+) occlusion due to defective CrATP binding.  (+info)

On the sweetness of N-(trifluoroacetyl)aspartame. (2/86)

A panel of tasters has found that the N-trifluoroacetyl derivative of aspartame is five times less sweet than the parent compound, contrary to the tenet in the literature, but consistent with sweet receptor models which require this nitrogen to exist in protonated form.  (+info)

Genetic taste responses to 6-n-propylthiouracil among adults: a screening tool for epidemiological studies. (3/86)

Genetically mediated taste responsiveness to 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) has been linked to reduced acceptance of some bitter foods. In this community-based study male (n = 364) and female (n = 378) adults enrolled in a self-help dietary intervention trial were screened for PROP taster status. Respondents, aged 18--70 years, were mailed filter papers impregnated with PROP or with aspartame solutions. They received instructions to rate taste intensity and hedonic preference using nine point category scales. Women rated PROP as more bitter than did men. Both sweetness and bitterness ratings were lower for older adults. Taste responsiveness to PROP was unrelated to body mass index in women or men. Higher bitterness ratings for PROP were weakly associated with higher sweetness ratings for aspartame, but were unrelated to sweet taste preferences. Successful administration of PROP filter papers by mail suggests new avenues for the screening of taste phenotypes in epidemiological studies.  (+info)

Whole nerve chorda tympani responses to sweeteners in C57BL/6ByJ and 129P3/J mice. (4/86)

The C57BL/6ByJ (B6) strain of mice exhibits higher preferences than does the 129P3/J (129) strain for a variety of sweet tasting compounds. We measured gustatory afferent responses of the whole chorda tympani nerve in these two strains using a broad array of sweeteners and other taste stimuli. Neural responses were greater in B6 than in 129 mice to the sugars sucrose and maltose, the polyol D-sorbitol and the non-caloric sweeteners Na saccharin, acesulfame-K, SC-45647 and sucralose. Lower neural response thresholds were also observed in the B6 strain for most of these stimuli. The strains did not differ in their neural responses to amino acids that are thought to taste sweet to mice, with the exception of L-proline, which evoked larger responses in the B6 strain. Aspartame and thaumatin, which taste sweet to humans but are not strongly preferred by B6 or 129 mice, did not evoke neural responses that exceeded threshold in either strain. The strains generally did not differ in their neural responses to NaCl, quinine and HCl. Thus, variation between the B6 and 129 strains in the peripheral gustatory system may contribute to differences in their consumption of many sweeteners.  (+info)

Application of the U and gamma' models in binary sweet taste mixtures. (5/86)

The U and Gamma' models of sensory interactions, successfully applied in olfaction for several years, are tested here using data from published studies on sweetness. The models are subsequently tested on new data obtained in studies of binary mixtures of four sodium sulfamates. The U model allows for the estimation of a global interaction, whereas the Gamma' model allows for the distinction between that which is due to an intrinsic interaction in the mixture itself and that which may be due to the power function exponents in the mixture. The models give satisfactory predictions for observed phenomena of sweet taste suppression, synergism or pure additivity. Additionally, they appear to be more suitable than other models recently applied in taste, particularly the equiratio model. Application of the models to the sulfamate mixtures, reveals additivity for sodium cyclohexylsulfamate (cyclamate)/potassium cyclohexylsulfamate and sodium cyclohexylsulfamate/sodium exo-2-norbornylsulfamate, respectively; whereas for sodium cyclohexylsulfamate/sodium 3-bromophenylsulfamate, the models revealed a slight hypo addition which is simply due to the dissimilarity values of the power function exponents of the components.  (+info)

The effect of various substances on the suppression of the bitterness of quinine-human gustatory sensation, binding, and taste sensor studies. (6/86)

The purpose of this study was to quantify the degree of suppression of the perceived bitterness of quinine by various substances and to examine the mechanism of bitterness suppression. The following compounds were tested for their ability to suppress bitterness: sucrose, a natural sweetener; aspartame, a noncaloric sweetener; sodium chloride (NaCl) as the electrolyte; phosphatidic acid, a commercial bitterness suppression agent; and tannic acid, a component of green tea. These substances were examined in a gustatory sensation test in human volunteers, a binding study, and using an artificial taste sensor. Sucrose, aspartame, and NaCl were effective in suppressing bitterness, although at comparatively high concentrations. An almost 80% inhibition of bitterness (calculated as concentration %) of a 0.1 mM quinine hydrochloride solution required 800 mM of sucrose, 8 mM of aspartame, and 300 mM NaCl. Similar levels of bitterness inhibition by phosphatidic acid and tannic acid (81.7, 61.0%, respectively) were obtained at much lower concentrations (1.0 (w/v)% for phosphatidic acid and 0.05 (w/v)% for tannic acid). The mechanism of the bitterness-depressing effect of phosphatidic acid and tannic acid was investigated in terms of adsorption and masking at the receptor site. With phosphatidic acid, 36.1% of the bitterness-depressing effect was found to be due to adsorption, while 45.6% was due to suppression at the receptor site. In the case of 0.05 (w/v)% tannic acid, the total bitterness-masking effect was 61.0%. The contribution of the adsorption effect was about 27.5% while the residual masking effect at the receptor site was almost 33%. Further addition of tannic acid (0.15 (w/v)%), however, increased the bitterness score of quinine, which probably represents an effect of the astringency of tannic acid itself. Finally, an artificial taste sensor was used to evaluate or predict the bitterness-depressing effect. The sensor output profile was shown to reflect the depressant effect at the receptor site rather well. Therefore, the taste sensor is potentially useful for predicting the effectiveness of bitterness-depressant substances.  (+info)

Formaldehyde-induced shrinkage of rat thymocytes. (7/86)

To test the possibility that micromolar formaldehyde, a metabolite of methanol derived from aspartame, exerts cytotoxicity, its effect on rat thymocytes was examined under the in vitro condition using a flow cytometer. Incubation of thymocytes with formaldehyde at 100 micro M or more for 24 h significantly increased the populations of shrunken cells and cells with hypodiploid DNA. The peak blood concentration of methanol in human subjects administered abuse doses of aspartame has been reported to exceed 2 mg/dL (625 micro M). It would increase the population of thymocytes undergoing apoptosis if formaldehyde at 100 micro M or more appears in the blood after administration of aspartame.  (+info)

Modified DNA aptamers against sweet agent aspartame. (8/86)

We obtained a modified DNA aptamer against sweetener, aspartame, by in vitro selection method. The modified DNA was prepared from dATP, dGTP, dCTP and a modified dTTP bearing a terminal amino group at C-5 position in place of thymidine by PCR using a hyper thermophilic DNA polymerase, KOD Dash DNA polymerase. The synthetic 102-mer DNA with a 60-mer random region was used as an initial template for the PCR. The PCR-amplified modified DNA library was applied to an aspartame-agarose column, and then the bound modified DNA was eluted from the column for the affinity chromatography selection. Repeating the procedure, we selected the modified DNA aptamer against aspartame.  (+info)

A List of Foods Containing Aspartame. Health concerns raised about the safety of aspartame, including increased cancer risk, have not been validated through research. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and American Cancer Society acknowledge that aspartame is safe for general use within a recommended intake. The FDA sets an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for aspartame at 50 milligrams per kilogram, equivalent to 21 aspartame sweetened beverages for a 165 pound person.. Aspartame is safe for use by nearly all healthy individuals, including those with diabetes. The one exception is people who have phenylketonuria (PKU). People with PKU are unable to metabolize phenylalanine, a component of aspartame. A warning statement on all products containing aspartame advises against consuming it, if you have PKU.. Some not so obvious foods and products contain aspartame. For example, condiments that typically contain sugar, such as ketchup, dressings, sauces and ...

Not only has my life been changed by aspartame in ways that are apparently never going to be reversed (my eyesight and my memory) but recently I had a very hard time acquiring health insurance. The insurance underwriter actually told my insurance agent that he ran across 6,000 cases like mine (people claiming aspartame made them sick) a month. Now I do not know how many people his location underwrites in a month, whether he meant 6,000 people a year, whether he was exaggerating or even whether my agent was being honest with me. It is just one more piece of my aspartame story and one more way it has left its ugly mark on my life. Now I know this is America and I am ultimately in charge of where I end up in life, but why, when we have a system in place to protect people, does that very system seem so hell bent on writing off aspartame victims as unreliable at the possible cost of more injuries ...

While there are a lot of products that contain aspartame, it is highly unlikely that one would consume enough aspartame to exceed the ADI in a 24 hour period. Additionally, it is important that the ADI has a built in safety factor of 100 fold, so even if the ADI were exceeded, the amount of aspartame consumed would not reach dangerous levels. Further, the amount of aspartame used is miniscule and used to sweeten foods and beverages to remove calories and provide a low-calorie product. In recent research there have been no links to aspartame causing neurological problems, worsening disease states, or causing increased craving for sweet food/beverages. Humans innately crave sweet tasting foods and beverages. There have also been no scientific studies that can prove any adverse side effects. It is important to keep in mind that while these studies may have shown associations between aspartame and these side effects, it is not a cause and effect model and is untrue to say that aspartame is the cause ...

People try the sweetener aspartame when they are trying to lose weight. The reasoning is that it has no calories and can be substituted for sugar which is high calorie. Dieters would be surprised to know that research has shown that Aspartame actually increases the weight and waistlines of its users [1].. Along with weight gain there are other serious health considerations involved with Aspartame. Aspartame has been associated with cardiovascular incidents. In fact, a decade-long study of 60,000 women has confirmed that drinking diet soda sweetened with aspartame is linked with a 30 percent increase in heart attack risk and a 50 percent increase in death risk. These findings were presented at American College of Cardiology [2] Italian studies by Dr. Morand Soffriti concluded that aspartame is a multi-carcinogenic agent in rats. Further its multi-carcinogenic effects were evident even at daily dose 20mg/kg b.w. much less than the current ADI of 50mg/kg b.w. (22, Sofritti et al)[3]. The daily ...

There are 92 documented symptoms of ASPARTAME, from coma to death. The majority of them are all neurological, because the ASPARTAME destroys the nervous system. ASPARTAME Disease is partially the cause to what is behind some of the mystery of the Dessert Storm health problems some of the soldiers are experiencing. The burning tongue and other problems discussed in over 60 cases can be directly related to the consumption of an ASPARTAME product. Several thousand pallets of diet pop were shipped to the Dessert Storm troops. (Heat can liberate the methanol from the ASPARTAME at 86 degrees F).

The FDA has completed its review concerning the long-term carcinogenicity study of aspartame, conducted by the European Ramazzini Foundation (ERF), located in Bologna, Italy. FDA reviewed the study data made available to them by ERF and finds that it does not support ERFs conclusion that aspartame is a carcinogen. Additionally, these data do not provide evidence to alter FDAs conclusion that the use of aspartame is safe.. Aspartame was first approved in the United States in 1981 and is one of the most widely used artificial sweeteners.

The EPAs recommended limit for consumption of methanol is 7.8 milligrams per day, but a one liter bottle of an Aspartame-sweetened beverage contains over 50 mg of methanol! Heavy users of Aspartame-containing products consume over 250 mg daily of methanol - thats 30 times the EPA limit!. In 2013, The IDFA (International Dairy Foods Association) and the NMPF (National Milk Producers Federation) filed a petition with the FDA to change the standard entity of milk plus 17 other dairy products so that they can ...

Mother, Teacher Describes Daughters Aspartame Symptoms And Recovery - Homeopathic AssociatesMother, Teacher Describes Daughters Aspartame Symptoms And Recovery - Homeopathic Associates
After years of experience as a mother and a teacher, I truly believe that all schools should be deeply concerned about their students consumption of aspartame, an artificial sweetener unfortunately found in a multitude of products.. Aspartame is found in many brands of diet soda and other diet drinks, gum, candy, flavored fizzy water and many diabetic foods. It is even in health drinks, yogurt, gelatins, puddings, wine coolers, cereals, breath strips and mints; some medicines and chewable childrens vitamins also contain aspartame.. Most students realize that illegal drugs and smoking are bad for them, but many dont know anything about the hazards of aspartame. With all the media attention on obesity these days, students will start using even more diet products.. Obviously, obesity is a serious problem! However, turning to artificial sweeteners in an attempt to lose weight or prevent weight gain is not the answer. In fact, artificial sweeteners have been proven to contribute to weight gain. ...

Only after longer aspartame usage does liver damage cause blood methanol levels to measurably rise because the liver mitochondria are so damaged that the liver no longer quickly processes either methyl or ethyl (drink) alcohol. Then the acute methanol poisoning is directly measurable from lab results, as the blood methanol level elevates. This entire sequence or toxic axis begins with your very first dose of aspartame. Both acute and chronic poisonings from this methanol toxic axis, and other additive and synergistic aspartame poisonings, steadily accumulate in the aspartame consumer. We continue to get reports of people dying of methanol poisoning. Charles Fleming died and his wife, a Sunday School teacher, remains in a prison in Virginia. The detective on the case said, Diane is innocent but because I was promoted I could not stop the indictment. Be warned no diabetic should ever consume wood alcohol. The FDA did no NOAEL on methanol.

Aspartame is also the number one source of side effect complaints to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with over 10,000 complaints filed and over 91 documented symptoms related to its consumption.. Most recently, studies are also starting to confirm lingering suspicions that artificial sweeteners like aspartame may play a role in the development of Alzheimers disease, a serious form of dementia that is now thought to kill over half a million Americans each year.. The key mechanism of harm appears to be methanol toxicity-a much-ignored problem associated with aspartame in particular.. In a previous interview, toxicology expert Dr. Woodrow Monte (author of the book While Science Sleeps: A Sweetener Kills), explained the links between aspartame and methanol toxicity and the formation of formaldehyde.

From Dr. Betty Martini, D.Hum. 6-15-7. Statement from Dr. Russell Blaylock, MD. Dear Betty,. My review of the first Ramazzini Study concluded that the study was one of the best designed, comprehensive and conclusive studies done to date on the multipotent carcinogenic potential of aspartame.. This second study is even more conclusive, in that it shows a dose-dependent statistically significant increase in lymphomas/ leukemia in both male and female rats exposed to aspartame. These two cancers are the fastest growing cancers in people under age 30.. Also, of major concern is their finding of statistically significant increases in breast cancer in animals exposed to aspartame. With newer studies clearly indicating that toxic exposures during fetal development can dramatically increase the cancer risk of the offspring, this study takes on a very important meaning to all pregnant women consuming aspartame products. Likewise, small children are at considerable risk of the later development of these ...

The artificial sweetener aspartame, a dipeptide with the formula Asp-Phe-me, is produced using a cloned micrcorganism [sic]. A DNA which codes for a large stable peptide comprised of the repeating amino acid sequence (Asp-Phe)n is inserted into a cloning vehicle which in turn is introduced into a suitable host microorganism. The host microorganism is cultured and the large peptide containing the repeating Asp-Phe sequence is harvested therefrom. The free carboxyl group of the large peptide is benzylated and then hydrolysed to benzyl Asp-Phe dipeptides. This dipeptide is methylated and then debenzylated to form aspartame ...

Aspartame. Aspartame is an artificial non-saccharide sweetener invented in the 1980s. It was commonly known through its popular brand names such as Spoonfuls, Sweetmate, and Equal. Aspartame is derived from amino-acids and it is metabolized and digested by the body just like food containing protein. Aspartame is about 200 times sweeter than sugar so only a tiny amount of this sweetener can satisfy your sweet cravings. Although aspartame comes very close to sugar in its taste profile, the taste still differs significantly in how it affects your receptors and how long it lasts.. Aspartame can be found in various types of products such as desserts, different kinds of snack foods, gums and candies, salad dressings, beverages, and breakfast cereals. Because of the way it breaks down, aspartame is not a good sweetener for baking and does not support a long shelf life of a product.. Aspartame is one of the most thoroughly tested food additives on the market. It is currently considered safe, although ...

An independent study done by European Ramazzini Foundation of Oncology and Environmental Sciences in Italy shows the intake of aspartame at far less than daily allowable levels is multi-carcinogenic (lymphomas and leukemias) in laboratory rats. Aspartame is marketed as Nutrasweet, Equal, and Aminosweet and commonly found in diet products such as diet sodas.. First Experimental Demonstration of the Multipotential Carcinogenic Effects of Aspartame Administered in the Feed to Sprague-Dawley Rats. Our study shows that APM is a multipotential carcinogenic compound whose carcinogenic effects are evident even at a daily dose of 20 mg/kg bw, much less than the current ADI for humans in Europe (40 mg/kg bw) and in the United States (50 mg/kg bw).. The results of carcinogenicity bioassays in rodents are consistent predictors of human cancer risks (Huff 1999; Rall 1995; Tomatis et al. 1989). The results of our study therefore call for an urgent reexamination of the present guidelines on the use and ...

New Aspartame Replacement - Cuddly Name, Harmful to Your Health. What if aspartame had a less ominous-sounding name, something dreamed up by marketing wizards that was designed to sound safe and harmless?.

Splenda is now being added to Diet Pepsi (along with a second harmful chemical well get to later), but it may not be much better for your health than aspartame after all.. While it was once marketed as a natural form of sugar with no calories, Splenda is actually the result of a five-part laboratory process that takes an original sugar molecule and adds three molecules of chlorine to the mix, turning it into something unnatural and foreign to the body, meaning your body has no way of properly metabolizing it..

The Aspartame, Lupus And Ms Connection - Health-Truth.comThe Aspartame, Lupus And Ms Connection - Health-Truth.com
By Michael Biamonte CCN.. In the keynote address by the EPA, it was announced that in the United States in 2001 there is an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. It was difficult to determine exactly what toxin was causing this to be rampant.. Now it appears that it is Aspartame. Marketed as Nutra Sweet, Equal, and Spoonful. When the temperature of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants. The methanol toxicity mimics, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus.. Many people are being diagnosed in error. Although multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, Methanol toxicity is!. Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers.

Cordell E Logan. Aspartame was discovered by accident in 1965 when James Schlatter, a chemist for G.D. Searle Co., was testing a drug for ulcers. It was approved for dry goods in 1981 and for carbonated beverages in 1983. However, in 1974 it was originally approved for dry goods, but neuroscience researcher Dr. John W. Olney put a hold on it. In 1985, Monsanto purchased G.D. Searle and made Searle Pharmaceuticals and NutraSweet Company separate subsidiaries.. The FDA reported that over 75% of adverse reactions to food additives are from Aspartame.. Aspartame is made up of aspartic acid (40%), phenylalanine (50%), and methanol (10%). Aspartic acid and glutamate are neurotransmitters. Too much of either one can kill certain brain neurons by allowing too much calcium to enter cells, which leads to an influx of free radicals that kill the cells. Excess of these amino acids can cross the blood brain barrier (BBB), especially in children. Problems include MS, ALS, memory loss, hormone imbalances, ...

Note: This information required a Freedom Of Information Act request to pry it from the reluctant hands of the FDA.. Nutrasweet (brand name for Aspartame) was not approved until 1981, in dry foods. For over eight years the FDA refused to approve it because of the seizures and brain tumors this drug produced in lab animals. The FDA continued to refuse to approve it until President Reagan took office (a friend of Searle) and fired the FDA Commissioner who wouldnt approve it. Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes was appointed as commissioner. Even then there was so much opposition to approval that a Board of Inquiry was set up. The Board said: Do not approve aspartame. Dr. Hayes OVERRULED his own Board of Inquiry. Shortly after Commissioner Arthur Hull Hayes, Jr., approved the use of aspartame in carbonated beverages, he left for a position with G.D.

The Truth About Aspartame Toxicity & Nancy MarkleThe Truth About Aspartame Toxicity & Nancy Markle
A. A brain tumor in adults can take many years or decades to become large and easily detectable. Aspartame couldnt have been the original cause of these brain tumors because it wasnt on the market long enough. However, it is known that certain less deadly brain tumors can transform into more deadly and larger forms in a shorter period of time. If aspartame was a brain tumor agent, that is what we would see first. Olney showed that in the most susceptible population group, there has been an enormous increase in these deadly types of brain tumors since within a few years after aspartame appeared on the market. Of course, there has been a corresponding decrease in the less deadly types of brain tumors during that time. That is why the *overall* brain tumor rate looks somewhat stable. So, whenever some government official talks about *overall* brain tumor rates, they clearly didnt read the Olney study ...

African Americans With Diabetes - Are Artificial Sweeteners Safe?African Americans With Diabetes - Are Artificial Sweeteners Safe?
Artificial sweeteners have been around for over 100 years, and people generally substitute sugar for artificial sweeteners for two basic reasons. One is to prevent weight gain and the other is to avoid the adverse effects of sugar is you are diabetic. Artificial sweeteners are known by many names but fall into three primary categories--saccharin SweetN Low), aspartame(Equal), and sucralose (Splenda). But what most people dont realize is that artificial sweeteners are chemicals that were never originally intended to be digested ...

Artificial sweeteners and other sugar substitutes - Mayo ClinicArtificial sweeteners and other sugar substitutes - Mayo Clinic
Artificial sweeteners have been scrutinized intensely for decades. Critics of artificial sweeteners say that they cause a variety of health problems, including cancer. Thats largely because of studies dating to the 1970s that linked saccharin to bladder cancer in laboratory rats. Because of those studies, saccharin once carried a warning label that it may be hazardous to your health.. But according to the National Cancer Institute and other health agencies, theres no sound scientific evidence that any of the artificial sweeteners approved for use in the U.S. cause cancer or other serious health problems. And numerous research studies confirm that artificial sweeteners are generally safe in limited quantities, even for pregnant women. As a result of the newer studies, the warning label for saccharin was dropped.. Artificial sweeteners are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as food additives. They must be reviewed and approved by the FDA before being made available for ...

According to a new study by the University of Sydney, more than half of us are exceeding the World Health Organizations recommended daily intake of added sugars, which is at 10%.. Sugar can be found in lots of food and, in a bid to improve your sugar intake, you might reach for that artificial sweetener instead.. Artificial sweeteners are chemical substances that are used as an alternative to sugar to sweeten foods and beverages.. Whilst they add fewer calories to your diet than sugar, consuming sweeteners can lead to side affects, such as diarrhoea.. Each brand of artificial sweetener consists of chemical sweetening ingredients.. Equal is probably the most common artificial sweetener; this contains the sweetening ingredients of aspartame and acesulfame potassium..

New Mexico at a Crossroads: Will the Attorney General Stand Up to Protect us?New Mexico at a Crossroads: Will the Attorney General Stand Up to Protect us?
This legal-authority question has been asked of the attorney general, Patricia Madrid, whose office is presently preparing a formal opinion as to whether our states boards can legitimately challenge a Food and Drug Administration-approved product like aspartame. The FDAs approval was flawed, if not corrupt, to begin with, as was made clear in the September 2005 Sun article Rumsfelds Disease. Therefore it seems incomprehensible that such a faulty FDA approval could not be questioned by a state board having heard a significant amount of evidence thus far. But this is just what corporate lawyers representing the Japanese firm Ajinomoto, the worlds largest aspartame manufacturer, would like the boards and the attorney general to believe. Ajinomoto is joined in this legal effort by an industry front group, the Calorie Control Council. They have both hired high-powered lawyers to silence the boards on the grounds that aspartame is safe and that, besides, no one but the FDA, Congress and the ...

Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase - WikipediaPhenylalanine ammonia-lyase - Wikipedia
Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (EC 4.3.1.24) is an enzyme that catalyzes a reaction converting L-phenylalanine to ammonia and trans-cinnamic acid. Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) is the first and committed step in the phenyl propanoid pathway and is therefore involved in the biosynthesis of the polyphenol compounds such as flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, and lignin in plants. Phenylalanine ammonia lyase is found widely in plants, as well as some yeast and fungi, with isoenzymes existing within many different species. It has a molecular mass in the range of 270-330 kDa. The activity of PAL is induced dramatically in response to various stimuli such as tissue wounding, pathogenic attack, light, low temperatures, and hormones. PAL has recently been studied for possible therapeutic benefits in humans afflicted with phenylketonuria. It has also been used in the generation of L-phenylalanine as precursor of the sweetener aspartame. The enzyme is a member of the ammonia lyase family, which cleaves ...

Humans have always had a fondness for sweets. During the world wars, saccharose, (common sugar) was obtained from sugar cane or beets. Saccharin, the first artificial sweetener, was synthesized in 1879, and was popular during the world wars due to its low production cost. After World War II, sugar became more affordable, and since the 1950s, the reason for using saccharin shifted to calorie reduction. However, the bitter after-taste of saccharin produced a growing need for improved taste of calorie-reduced substances. Artificial sweeteners are classified as first generation (saccharin, cyclamate and aspartame) and new generation (acesulfame-K, sucralose, alitame and neotame). Cyclamate was introduced in the 1950s, but the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned it from all dietary foods in 1970, due to suspicion that it induced cancer in experimental animals. Cyclamate is still used in other countries, especially in combination with other sweeteners. Aspartame (NutraSweet) was approved by the ...

Artificial Sweeteners May Lead To Obesity And Diabetes - Your News WireArtificial Sweeteners May Lead To Obesity And Diabetes - Your News Wire
In the Israeli experiment, 10-week-old mice were fed a daily dose of aspartame, sucralose or saccharin. Another cluster of mice were given water laced with one of two natural sugars, glucose or sucrose. After 11 weeks, the mice receiving sugar were doing fine, whereas the mice fed artificial sweeteners had abnormally high blood sugar (glucose) levels, an indication that their tissues were having difficulty absorbing glucose from the blood. Left unchecked, this glucose intolerance can lead to a host of health problems, including diabetes and a heightened risk of liver and heart disease. But it is reversible: after the mice were treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics to kill all their gut bacteria, the microbial population eventually returned to its original makeup and balance, as did blood glucose control.. These bacteria are not agnostic to artificial sweeteners, says computational biologist Eran Segal of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, one of the two scientists ...

Artificial sweetener - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaArtificial sweetener - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Studies done with animals have shown that artificial sweeteners cause weight gain. A sweet taste causes insulin to be produced. This will store some of the sugar in the blood in tissues, including fat. With artificial sweeteners, the amount of sugar in the blood does not increase. This means that there will be too little sugar in the blood. This is known as hypoglycemia. On the next meal, more food will be eaten to get the blood sugar level back to normal values. After a while, rats given sweeteners have steadily increased the amount of calories. This increased body weight, and adiposity (fatness). The natural response to eating sugary foods is to eat less at the next meal and to use some of the extra energy to warm the body after the meal. When using artificial sweeteners, this effect is lost gradually.[2] ...

When sugar-free beverages first became available, I was skeptical that they could really taste as good as the real thing. I quickly changed my mind. In fact, it seemed to me that the sugar-free versions actually tasted better than the real thing.. It seemed like a no-brainer. Sugar-free beverages had no calories and tasted better-maybe there is such a thing as a free lunch. Obviously, many people who also wanted to lose weight made the same switch. Were we right about artificial sweeteners?. Although short-term studies suggest that switching from sugar to no-calorie sweeteners can help, other research suggests it may actually promote weight gain. Writing in the December 2011 Harvard Health Letter, noted obesity researcher Dr. David Ludwig explores the possible connection between sugar substitutes and weight gain.. The FDA has approved six calorie-free sweeteners: acesulfame, aspartame, neotame, saccharin, Stevia, and sucralose. They are hundreds to thousands of times sweeter than table ...

The Weizmann Institutes Eran Elinav, Ph.D, who headed the research revolving around this study, believes that the mechanism behind this may be changes in the composition of gut microbiota brought on by artificial sweeteners. Even though artificial sweeteners do not contain sugar, the belief from the authors of this study is that they still affect the bodys ability to utilize glucose, leading to glucose intolerance, which in turn leads to adult-onset diabetes and metabolic syndrome.. The study itself involved giving mice water laced with three common artificial sweeteners in equivalent amounts to those permitted by the FDA, then repeating the process with different types of mice and amounts of sweeteners. In all cases, the mice developed glucose intolerance. The conclusion that gut microbiota played a role in this intolerance was based off of a previous hypothesis. In order to test this, the glucose intolerant mice were given antibiotics to wipe their microbiota, which resulted in a full ...

Did you find that the lemonade made with artificial sweetener was sweeter than that made with sugar? Did the original sugar lemonade taste almost as sour and bitter as the pure lemon juice?. Artificial sweeteners are synthetic compounds designed to produce the intense sweet taste you observed in the artificially sweetened lemonade. In fact, the sweetness of artificial sweeteners is many times that of sugar. This means that if you add equal quantities of sugar and an artificial sweetener, the drink with the artificial sweetener will taste sweeter.. If you completed the Extra challenge, you may have seen that it took several teaspoons of sugar to equal the sweetness of the artificial sweetener. Splenda is 600 times sweeter than sugar and saccharine, found in Sweetn Low, is 300 to 500 times sweeter. In the lemonade some of the sweetness is masked by the sourness of the lemon so you will not need to add 100 more teaspoons of sugar to get the same sweetness as one-quarter teaspoon of ...

Splenda is not Splendid Compiled by Ingri Cassel Since we have been sharing about the dangers of diet products containing aspartame and encouraging people to read The Artificially Sweetened Times [http://www.vaclib.org/news/astimes.htm], many have asked us about Splenda, thinking that sucralose doesnt have the same problems as aspartame, saccharine and refined white sugar. The following articles address the problems with Splenda according to a biochemist, a researcher and one mans personal experiences with the chemically altered sweetener. Splenda, the brand name for sucralose, is produced by chlorinating sugar (sucrose). This involves chemically changing the structure of the sugar molecules by substituting three chlorine atoms for three hydroxyl group atoms. Sucralose was discovered in 1976 by researchers working under the auspices of Tate & Lyle Ltd., a large British sugar refiner. In 1980, Tate & Lyle arranged with Johnson & Johnson, the worlds largest health care company, to develop ...

If you keep the total amount of glutamate in your body under control, you can prevent neurologic symptoms. One way you can do this is by eliminating gluten and casein from your diet. You also want to eliminate glutamate and anything that sounds like that, and aspartate and anything that sounds like that, from your supplements.. Glutamine is a frequently recommended supplement, but glutamate and glutamine change back and forth into each other. This means that the administration of glutamine, say for gastro intestinal support, actually increases the level of glutamate.. There is a neurotransmitter, which opposes glutamate, which has a calming effect. This is GABA, gamma amino butyric acid. It is an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Glutamate should be able to convert into GABA.. Glutamate is acted on by the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), but several factors may interfere with this conversion, and you get stuck at glutamate.. GABA is the neurotransmitter involved with this function. GABA is ...

By measuring contact angles it was shown that aspartame and potassium benzoate reduce the surface tension of water. Aspartame is a winner, and as an extra benefit clean up is much easier with Diet Coke than sugared Coke. The amount of caffeine however is too low to have any effect. The roughness of the Mentos surface was studied with special microscopes (see picture below). Fruit Mentos have smooth patches, but the coating is not uniform and contrary to the Mythbuster experiment normal Mentos and Fruit Mentos performed equally well with regards to foam formation. The roughness of the Mentos surface was inbetween that of rock salt and the Life savers which suggests that roughness is not a single factor determining the reaction.

Cell Metabolism, 2016 July 12;24(1): 75-90. Both flies and mice have the same pathways which are triggered by sucralose (Splenda) to make the body think it is starving and increase the desire to eat. Wang explains that a sweet taste without any calorie content creates the sensation of fasting and increases calorie consumption. It also promotes hyperactivity, insomnia, and glucose intolerance. All these problems are reversible by taking away the sweeteners.. Will it do the same for humans? Well, we do have genetic, hormonal, and neurotransmitter pathways very similar to both flies and mice.. NOTE: If you use any of the artificial sweeteners, experiment on yourself and see if you are hungrier at lunch when you put artificial sweetener in your breakfast coffee or when you use real sugar.. NOTE: Artificial sweeteners like sucralose, saccharin, and aspartame are not acceptable on the Feingold, the Paleo, or the Failsafe diets. They should probably be avoided by everybody else, too, as much as ...

Dr. Oz opens by saying he is talking about the substitutes we use to stay thin and healthy and the most common place we get them are diet sodas. Oz starts talking about artificial sweeteners and he says they will cause you to gain weight and are attributed to Metabolic Syndrome (MS). Two ladies are on the show now and they say they are addicted to artificial sweeteners and use it as a crutch because they get their sweet fix but it doesnt have the calories that regular sugar does..

Its energy value is 2 kcal/g, half that of sugars.[2] However, like most sugar alcohols, it carries a risk of gastric distress, including flatulence and diarrhea, when consumed in large quantities (above about 20-30 g per day).[1] Isomalt may prove upsetting to the intestinal tract because it is incompletely absorbed in the small intestine, and when polyols pass into the large intestine, they can cause osmotically induced diarrhea[3] and stimulate the gut flora, causing flatulence.[1] As with other dietary fibers, regular consumption of isomalt can lead to desensitisation, decreasing the risk of intestinal upset.[1] Isomalt can be blended with high-intensity sweeteners such as sucralose, giving a mixture that has the same ...
