 For example, dietary influences like aspartame or things that might promote migraines -- or is that a danger zone?
Teitelbaum: I suspect there's some hanky panky with aspartame ever being approved. Stevia is a good natural sweetener, but get one that's filtered so it tastes good. I tell people you need to cut out sugar, and I always have the three magic words: Except for chocolate. So -- you know -- you want to keep pleasure. Pleasure is good for you.
Mike: Now, let's talk about some of the products that you have helped formulate or you're an advisor on. |

 Absorption in primates is hastened considerably if the methanol is ingested as free methanol as it occurs in soft drinks after the decomposition of aspartame during storage or in other foods after being heated. Regardless of whether the aspartame-derived methanol exists in food in its free form or still esterified to phenylalanine, 10 percent of the weight of aspartame intake of an individual will be absorbed by the bloodstream as methanol within hours after consumption."

 Methanol (wood alcohol) in aspartame is released when temperature exceeds 86°f (30°c), and converts to formaldehyde and formic acid, both of which are potent poisons. When aspartame is ingested, this always happens because normal body temperature is 9-8.6°f (37°c).
Common table salt, sodium chloride, is salt that has been refined, processed, and depleted of its minerals. It is toxic and addictive to the body. Refined salt is a chemical compound that contains no food value. It cannot be digested or assimilated. |

 Russell Blaylock, MD, author of Health and Nutrition Secrets, writes: "Diabetics who drink large amounts of aspartame-sweetened drinks are more likely to go blind. aspartame is composed of the excitotoxin aspartic acid; phenylalanine; and methanol, a known eye toxin."

| Walton, medical director of Safe Harbor Behavioral Health, had to abruptly stop his own human clinical trial on aspartame when some of the subjects had serious reactions. One participant, the hospital's administrator, suffered a detached retina and went blind in one eye. Another had bleeding of the eye and others reported being poisoned.4 Walton says that "Aspartame is a multipotential toxin and carcinogen," which also lowers seizure thresholds, produces "carbohydrate craving," and in vulnerable individuals, can cause "panic, depressive, and cognitive symptoms. |

 This is also the same corporation that promoted aspartame to the world by purchasing a company called Searle, whose CEO was a man named Donald Rumsfeld. He strong-armed the FDA to get aspartame approved as "safe," and we've seen alarming increases in brain tumors and neurodegenerative diseases ever since.
I believe there is no natural law that evil corporations led by greedy men will not violate in order to increase their own power or profits. |

| Roberts, author of the medical text, aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, in aspartame the amino acids are isolated and in a dangerous configuration (L. stereoisomer). In addition, they interact with free methyl alcohol. These factors make the amino acids particularly harmful. Roberts says the isolated phenylalanine lowers the seizure threshold and triggers psychiatric and behavioral problems, as well as other symptoms and diseases. |

 Avoidance and then noting changes to one or more of these key areas is a reasonable strategy to help establish personal problems with aspartame.
The American Dietetic Association would like all pregnant women to think aspartame intake is perfectly fine. Do you trust their advice? The Surgeon General has warned against any alcohol intake during pregnancy. Alcohol detoxification and methanol detoxification from aspartame share the same common aldehyde-based detoxification pathways in human metabolism. |

 The Italian researcher found aspartame increased cancer risk at 20 mg per pound of body weight. The researchers say: "On the basis of these results, a reevaluation of the present guidelines on the use and consumption of aspartame is urgent and cannot be delayed."

 Actually, the part about aspartame and food additives is, indeed, a joke with really bad taste, but since aspartame degrades into trace amounts of formaldehyde, a common biological preservative, it was begging to be mentioned here...)
Anyway, this exhibit is fascinating if you have any interest whatsoever in human anatomy. But at the same time, it's also a bit creepy. Personally, I couldn't stand the smell. |

 But for goodness' sake, don't reach for aspartame instead of sugar: It contains an amino acid called phenylalanine, which also has the potential to be a migraine trigger. (I won't even get into the whole aspartame story—let's not go there. Suffice it to say, I don't recommend it even if you don't suffer from headaches.)
I wish there were an easy formula for determining what your individual triggers are, but there isn't. But make like Columbo and do some good detective work. If you systematically note what triggers, e.g., environmental, food, interpersonal, etc. |

Things have just continued on a downward spiral ever since. Before long, NutraSweet was everywhere, from soda to salad dressing. All thanks to a no-good, know-nothing businessman-turned-politician that we've STILL got making big decisions for this country.

 The list of such ingredients that should be banned from the food supply -- but won't be -- include MSG, processed sodium, refined white sugar, refined white flour, aspartame, saccharin, hydrogenated oils, artificial colors, chemical preservatives, color fixer chemicals and homogenized dairy fats (which cause heart disease). By screaming "China!" to the U.S. press and pointing the finger at dangerous Chinese-made products, the Food and Drug Administration diverts scrutiny from its own lousy lack of meaningful food safety enforcement with U.S. manufacturers.

 Even creating pro-consumer safety standards such as banning aspartame, sodium nitrite or hydrogenated oils can be deemed a violation of international trade agreements. Product sales, you see, are the No. 1 priority, even when nations are being decimated by the products manufactured and exported by American companies.
Poor nations with undereducated populations suffer enormously under western economic imperialism. |

 These are poisons like hydrogenated oils (heart disease and cancer), high-fructose corn syrup (diabetes and osteoporosis), genetically modified corn (kidney failure), processed sodium (high blood pressure), MSG and yeast extract (obesity, migraines and worse), aspartame (neurological harm), artificial food colors (behavioral disorders), and hundreds of untested chemicals used in cosmetics, body care, laundry and home cleaning products. |

 Synthetic sugars: aspartame, saccharin, and others.
Natural sweeteners: fruit juice, raw honey, organic maple syrup, molasses, barley malt syrup, dehydrated organic sugarcane juice. Avoid even these if you're diabetic or sugar intolerant.
Refined flours: white, bleached, unbleached, and enriched flour and products containing these flours.
Organic whole grains: heirloom varieties, which aren't genetically altered, are best—such as Kamut, quinoa, amaranth, and spelt. People with gluten intolerance or celiac disease may tolerate these better. |

 Processed foods: Processed foods not only lack the nutrition necessary for healthy nervous system function, they're also typically loaded with excitotoxins like MSG, aspartame and yeast extract. These substances damage the functioning of the nervous system, making any practice of the Law of Attraction virtually impossible.
Fragrance products: All fragrance products based on artificial chemicals impair the healthy functioning of the nervous system by dulling the senses and limiting sensory acquity. |

| The FDA compiled a list of 92 symptoms from the more than 10,000 consumer complaints they received about aspartame. These included four kinds of seizures, blindness, memory loss, fatigue, change in heart rate, difficulty breathing, joint, bone, and chest pain, speech impairment, tremors, change in body weight, lumps, blood and lymphatic problems, developmental retardation and problems with pregnancy, anemia, conjunctivitis, male sexual dysfunction, and death. Roberts' medical text also identifies neurodegenerative disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and sudden cardiac death, among others. |

| MSG, aspartame and fluoride. It took years just to get consensus on the fact that trans fatty acids are dangerous to health, and even then, the FDA still refuses to ban them from the food supply, kow-towing to the interests of giant food corporations who insist they need hydrogenated oils to ensure longer shelf life for their food products (which guantees more profits).
There is currently no effort underway to ban known cancer-causing chemicals from the food supply, even when the science is very clear about the damage such chemicals are causing to the U.S. public. |

 The manufacturer of aspartame has produced data demonstrating that aspartame does not cause headaches. One double-blind study using carob candy as a placebo for chocolate found that women with recurrent migraines were no more likely to develop headaches when given chocolate than when given placebo.332 This news was greeted with relief bordering on glee in some circles.

 It wasn't long before stories about tumors related to aspartame started popping up. Jokes abounded about which sweetener you used — the one that causes cancer or tumors? Not long afterwards, marketing spin was created for a new chemical "derivative of sugar" called sucralose, branded as Splenda®. Did you fall for this one like I did? |

 If you have cancer or wish to prevent it, make certain to avoid the following things: Chlorinated water; fluoridated water; pesticides and other chemical toxins as found in non-organic foods, commercial beauty products, chemical hair dyes, chemical shampoos and skin lotions; unnatural makeup products; artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and Splenda; exposure to ionizing radiation (X-rays, mammograms, etc.); alcohol; cigarettes; sunscreens; microwave ovens; pharmaceutical drugs. (Almost all drugs are toxic for the body and can contribute to or directly cause cancer. |
