Dr Russell L. Blaylock, a professor of Neurosurgery at the Medical University of Mississippi, recently published a book thoroughly detailing the damage that is caused by the ingestion of excessive aspartic acid from aspartame. (amherstburgchiropractic.com)
The excess aspartate and glutamate in the blood plasma shortly after ingesting aspartame or products with free glutamic acid (glutamate precursor) leads to a high level of those neurotransmitters in certain areas of the brain. (livingwaterhealthsolutions.com)
Methanol4
Methanol is gradually released in the small intestine when the methyl group of aspartame encounters the enzyme chymotrypsin. (livingwaterhealthsolutions.com)
Humans are seven times more sensitive to the toxic effects of aspartame or methanol than animals because they lack a couple of key digestive enzymes (such as pectin esterase) to release methanol. (turningpointnutrition.ca)
HFCS also consists of glucose and fructose, not in a 50-50 ratio like cane sugar, but a 55-45 fructose to glucose ratio in an unbound form. (catharzine.com)
But when it comes to invert sugar s pecifically , it's better to tread lightly: the fructose within invert sugar is unbound, which means it could be slightly more detrimental to health. (isitbadforyou.com)
Sucralose1
Independent researchers, particularly inEurope, have found popular sweeteners such as sucralose and aspartame to be harmful to human health. (turningpointnutrition.ca)
Poison1
The book, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, by James and Phyllis Balch, lists aspartame under the category of "chemical poison. (amherstburgchiropractic.com)
Free2
Taken in its free form (unbound to proteins) it significantly raises the blood plasma level of aspartate and glutamate. (livingwaterhealthsolutions.com)
In this unbound or 'free' form, the body breaks aspartame down rapidly into the toxic by-products formic acid (an irritant found in red ant venom), and DKP (aspartylphenylalanine diketopiperine), an agent linked to gene mutations. (turningpointnutrition.ca)
Research2
It was originally approved for dry goods on July 26, 1974, but objections filed by neuroscience researcher Dr John W. Olney and Consumer attorney James Turner in August 1974 as well as investigations of G.D. Searle's research practices caused the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to put approval of aspartame on hold (December 5, 1974). (amherstburgchiropractic.com)
Aspartame has been around for several decades now and for the most part, millions of its users have no idea of how dangerous this food additive is. (amherstburgchiropractic.com)
Aspartame accounts for over 75 percent of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). (amherstburgchiropractic.com)
Until 1999, people were unaware that Monsanto, the GM food giant, used genetically engineered bacteria to make aspartame for theUSmarket. (turningpointnutrition.ca)
Makes1
According to research, because aspartame is absorbed this way, it makes aspartame a far worse poisoning than if given or injected intravenously. (tribune-intl.com)
Form2
The intact Aspartame molecule and its diketopiperazine form are vastly worse poisonings than any of the other poisonings which arise from it during digestion, and liver processing of the digestive blood, which is delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. (tribune-intl.com)
In its unbound form, L-glutamic acid is gives off the taste known as umami, which is a rich and savory flavor tasted at the back of the tongue. (fooding.com)
