Hmmm sounds great....reading the labels....
"Fat Free"
"100 Calories per Pot"
"Rich in Calcium (31%RDA)"
"NO ARTIFICAL COLOURS OR PRESERVATIVES"
Oh some more to read..........
"ASPARTAME...contains a source of PHENYLALANINE"
So how F***ng Long has ASPARTAME been non artificial:mad:
See how easy it is to manipulate and hoodwink???
Cursory glance would suggest that its really good for you, but reality is that you are just about to eat a Proven Neurotoxin, that when heated produces formaldehyde in the body.
In the bin.

I also noticed this on a Danone yogurt which I got from work the other day & promptly put in the bin!! WTF is going on here, why are they not using 'natural' sugars? They're sneaking this aspartame shite into everything these days, gggrrr!!!:mad:

Yeah the average cosumer is easily lulled into a false sense of security by reading "NO ARTIFICAL COLOURS OR PRESERVATIVES", which doesn't include "ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS"!! Sneaky marketing ploy eh!:rolleyes:

You are right. Keep reading the labels people. This stuff suddenly turns up in foods that didn't have it in, and no-one's saying anything.

Blaylock - What To Do If You Have Used Aspartame
By Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, MD
3-8-8
The most important starting point of any detoxification program is to stop exposure to the toxin or toxins. This means avoiding even small amounts, since once sensitized to the toxin even minute amounts can produce full-blown toxicity. This is especially so with accumulative toxins, such as aspartame. It has been shown conclusively that the metabolic products of methanol breakdown, formaldehyde in particular, accumulates on the DNA and cellular proteins.
Once you have cleansed your diet of the toxin, removal of the toxin and its metabolic products from your system will begin. Central to this process is the body's detoxification system, which exist in all cells of the body, with the bulk of detoxification taking place in the liver. The detoxification system is divided into two components called phase I and phase II, which work in tandem. Toxins pass through phase I and then pass to phase II where they are further detoxified and made water-soluble for eventual disposal. It is now known that you can significantly enhance the body's ability to detoxify these substances through the judicious use of specific supplements. Of the two systems phase II is most important and most often impaired.
The following is a list of nutrients that enhance detoxification:
* Indole-3 carbinol-100 mg twice a day. This natural substance enhances phase II. It is extracted from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussel's sprouts and cauliflower. It can be purchased as an extract.
* Taurine 500 mg a day- This is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is used by the liver for sulfonation reactions. It is to be taken between meals.
* Milk Thistle (silymarin) 175 mg. Take two twice a day. This extract has been shown to substantially enhance liver detoxification and is also a very powerful antioxidant for all cells.
* Curcumin- 500 mg three times a day with olive oil. This is an extract taken from turmeric. It is an extremely powerful antioxidant, enhances both phases I and II detoxification, is a radioprotectant, enhances bile flow, inhibits cancer growth, and is a very powerful anti-inflammatory. Also enhances DNA repair enzymes.
* Panthethine 250 mg Take one capsule 3X a day- This vitamin is the enzyme form of pantothenic acid. It plays a vital role in enhancing the aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme. (For formaldehyde detoxification)
* Thiamine- 100 mg. Take three a day. (Vitamin B1) This vitamin plays a major role in protecting nerves as well as the brain. It is commonly depleted with pesticide exposure.
* Pyrodoxyl-5 phosphate 50 mg- Take one a day. This is the functional form of vitamin B6. People exposed to chemical toxins frequently have low levels of this vitamin. When vitamin B6 is deficient, taurine is also low. It plays a major role in protecting against glutamate and aspartate toxicity.
In addition to detoxification, other nutrients play a more direct role in protecting cells and in promoting their recovery from toxicity. These include:
* Magnesium- 750 to 1000 mg a day. (Magnesium citrate/malate) Magnesium plays a major role in cell protection, especially against excitotoxicty. In addition it protects against strokes and heart attacks.
* Selenium- 200 ug a day. This mineral also plays a role in protecting cells from toxins, especially mercury. It plays a major role in protecting against free radicals.
* N-acetyl L-cysteine (NAC)- 750 mg a day. This is a substance that in cells is converted to glutathione. Glutathione is your cell's major protection against free radicals produced by toxins such as aspartame.. In addition, NAC removes mercury. NAC also enhances detoxification.
* Multi-"B" vitamins- This should be a multivitamins that contains 25 to 50 mgs of each of the B vitamins. The multivitamin should not contain iron. Take one a day.
* Vitamin E (as mixed tocopherols) 400 IU twice a day. A powerful antioxidant, prevents heart attacks an stokes and the gamma-tocopherol is a powerful anti-inflammatory.
* Vitamin C (as magnesium ascorbate) 2000 mg twice to three times a day. Plays a major role in cell protection against oxygen stress, protects the nervous system and enhances tissue repair.
* CoQ10 100 mg twice a day. This is a major energy molecule and protects the brain against excitotoxicity.
* DHA 200 mg a day. This is a component of omega-3-fatty acids. It plays a vital role in membrane repair and repair of synapses.
In addition to avoiding aspartame you must avoid other toxins as well. This includes MSG, pesticides, herbicides, bug sprays, fluoride, mercury, cadmium, aluminum and the many other toxins found commonly in the environment. Many of these toxins act synergistically, that is, when combined they have toxic effects that exceed their additive effects.
In addition, you need regular, moderate exercise (never aerobic), avoid soy products, cheese, and vegetable oils. Do not smoke or use drugs. All of these things increase free radical damage and prevent tissue repair. You should eat a diet high in vegetables and with some fruits, no sugar (or honey), moderate complex carbohydrates and pure water free of contaminants, including fluoride. Do not use fluoride toothpaste, mouthwashes or receive fluoride treatments. If you follow these principles you will notice quick recovery from your toxic encounter. More serious toxic encounters may take several months for recovery.

Yeah I know what you mean, you can taste how disgusting it is. I've almost eliminated it from my diet now (although I'm sure it sneaks in with some things without me noticing:rolleyes:). My 6yr old son is VERY anti-aspartame & goes around telling all his mates & their mums about the dangers of it too, bless :)
I also noticed that when you've consumed something containing lots of MSG that it makes you feel really icky afterwards. I should cut that out completely too, but I still get the odd urge for crisps now & then & I also love marmite/vegemite which I believe both contain MSG (but taste soooo good!)

Yup I noticed that too, its something like 50c a packet I think. The fact is on the continent it is hard to find salt that doesn't contain flouride, also most processed foods are made using fluoridated salt. If they can't put in the water they will find some way of making people ingest it.

If everyone boycotted it would get their attention, but then again 90% of people don't have a clue how bad aspartame is for you. My flatmate drank 3 bottles of powerade. I told him wtf it has aspartame in it ffs. He said it tore up his stomach. I told him that will be the phenylalanine.

That would be good kriss_crow, but so far I haven't found one. Maybe someone does have a list though which would be great to see.
I get my son the Belvoir Fruit Farms cordial (mainly elderflower, but they do other flavours too). They're available in most supermarkets & only contain cane sugar, get that CANE SUGAR & not aspartame, wow, lol!!:D Also look out for organic ones, which are also quite good.
I do sometimes buy Robinsons High Juice (Apple, Strawberry & Lychee) which contains glucose-fructose syrup, sugar & "flavourings". But I'm not too sure whether that 'flavourings' bit may contain aspartame (I bloody hope not with all those other sugary things in it though!:eek:)

I would've thought that aspartame was in ALL fizzy drinks, but good that people are noticing this. Best thing to do is to not drink them at all imo, although it's stopped me enjoying a nice bacardi or vodka & coke now & then though - but I make up for it with wine & beer instead, lol!:p

me and my kids drank diet drinks for a long time, thinking it was healthier! I sent my son to get some non-diet squash and even that has aspartame. I then checked on all the fizzy drinks at morrisons, nearly ALL of them contained aspartame so i had a word with the manager. I told him that most people would avoid the diet drinks if they wanted to avoid aspartame but wouldnt think that non-diet drinks would contain it. I said there should be a notice up, he said to me that they probably want the drinks sweeter so i said then they can add more sugar! Most people dont have the time to read labels and the writing is so small anyway. Its hard to get drinks that are free of flouride these days, i get fruit juice not from concentrate, i just hope thats still ok!!!
As for a non-flouride toothpaste, morrisons do euthymol, its an old-fashioned paste that tastes of germolene, (disgusting) failing that, superdrug do a fennel flavour one (not nice) but boots do smile toothpaste, only 99p!

We talked here about aspartame, but recently
I found that acesulfamine k - very "popular" sweetener in
many products is as poisonous as the first one
"From the book SAFE FOOD by Michael F. Jacobson, Ph.D, Lisa Lefferts and Anne Garland
"Acesulfame K, sold commercially as Sunette or Sweet One, was approved by the FDA in 1988 as a sugar substitute in packet or tablet form, in chewing gum, dry mixes for beverages, instant coffee and tea, gelatin desserts, puddings and nondairy creamers. The manufacturer has asked the FDA to approve acesulfame K for soft drinks and baked goods.
The public is waiting for an artificial sweetener that is unquestionably safe. But this one isn't it. Even compared to aspartame and saccharin (which are afflicted with their own safety publems - see below), acesulfame K is the worst. The additive is inadequately tested, the FDA based its approval on tests of acesulfame K that fell short of the FDA's own standards. But even those tests indicate that the additive causes cancer in animals, which means it may increase cancer risk in humans. In l987, CSPI urged the FDA not to approve acesulfame K, but was ignored. After the FDA gave the chemical its blessing, CSPI urged that iat be banned. The FDA hasn't yet ruled on that request."
From CSPI's web page:
... acetoacetamide, a breakdown product, has been shown to affect the thyroid in rats, rabbits, and dogs. Administration of 1% and 5% acetoacetamide in the diet for three months caused benign thyroid tumors in rats. The rapid appearance of tumors raises serious questions about the chemicalÕs carcinogenic potency."
