The Benefits of Zero Calories
Being involved in nutrition research for such a long time I can’t stop wondering what’s wrong with our natural food. Why do sugar substitutes and artificially created ingredients receive such an enormous attention? Why can the industry freely and without prove advertise artificial sweeteners as being healthy? Can the label “zero calories” automatically indicate that the product is good for your health?
Consumers are mislead, although nowadays it is easy to obtain information on the internet and one has got no excuse. The reason why I’m writing this article is the misinformation I come across almost daily in newspapers, magazines and other media. Food and beverages containing artificial sweeteners are advertised as being beneficial for health and weight loss because of zero calories. I regard this as an intentional deception. It means the industry does not shy away from targeting your health concerns for their business. Let's have a look at Aspartame, just as an example. There is a large number of products with this name on their ingredients label. What is Aspartame? Does our body know how to metabolize it? Our digestive system is programmed to deal with natural molecule structures and does not know how to process artificial ones.
Aspartame contains Methanol. Studies show that this is a dangerous neurotoxin, is carcinogenic, interferes with the DNA and causes several other severe health problems. Aspartame is created by using Methanol to fuse together two amino acids. In our body Methanol breaks down into Formic Acid and Formaldehyde. Your body does not know how to metabolize this substances as they are foreign, thus they are disturbing your Metabolism severely. And they question "Does your diet soda make you fat?" is for that reason not far fetched.
The Ramazzini Foundation, an Italian Cancer Research Institute conducted a long term study, feeding rats 20 mg of Aspartame per kilogram of body weight which resulted in significant increases of Lymphomas, Leukemias and Breast Cancer. Currently the acceptable daily intake is 50 mg / kg of body weight. But there are hundreds of other products which contain Aspartame and are likely to be consumed by kids and adults alike. It all adds up. The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) downgraded the rating of Aspartame to “everyone should avoid”. Experts are calling on the FDA to review the Aspartame Cancer risk. Remember, this is a multi billion dollar industry and the pressure on the authorities to turn a blind eye to this issue is high. Ultimately you are responsible for your health, so just stop consuming products containing artificial sweeteners as a precaution.
If you have got a sweet tooth like I do, use brown sugar or honey in a moderate amount as a sweetener. It is a natural substance, tastes lovely and does not do you any harm. And do you know that pure water as a replacement of diet sodas is most beneficial to your health by hydrating your body and flushing out toxins? I’m sure you do! Then I need to say no more.
