Aspartame

[imported_LoKe]

Just wondering. I remenber someone posting a link about it not being all that bad, but I can't find it.

 

[QED]

Yes, you are for sure going to get cancer and die with that stuff.

I'd rather use sugar and die from obesity instead.

 

[moshquerade]

i haven't stopped totally ingesting it, but i am leary of it. i try to avoid it.

look up xylitol. that's an artificial sweetener that is tops in my book.

 

[vi edit]

Moderation.

A can of diet a day isn't going to give you cancer.
A can of non-diet a day isn't going to magically give you diabetes.

As you ramp up your consumption, there are negatives for both forms of beverage.

 

[torpid]

I believe the current theory is that any study which demonstrated a link was flawed. Was it this or saccharin where they had bladder something or others when it turns out rats were predisposed to bladder something or others?

I love xylitol. I think we were meant to be together. Give me your # so I can call you 3 times in 2 days and then post a topic on ATOT about how women hate me for some reason.

Perhaps then one could drink a can of each a day and cancel eachother out?

I heard the aspartame study was flawed.

Aspartame when digested converts into fermaldahyde (sp?)

wanna start a company that makes xylitol sweetened soda? it's expensive stuff though so i think that's why no one is taking it on.
i'd pay more for it though. would you?

Are you a laboratory rat?

..unjustified risk for the sensation of "sweet".

Corn syrup = 100% chance of making you a fatass with rotten teeth
Aspartame = Assorted wacky conspiracy theories

 

[PingSpike]

Everything is bad for you in large quantities. I just use Sweet 'N Low since its been around for over 100 years. I figure the newer ones are more likely to have long term problems.

It was saccharin.

There was this recent press clipping from Europe:

http://www.efsa.eu.int/press_room/press_release/1472/pr_aspartame_en3.pdf

European Food Safety Authority
Parma, 5 May 2006
PRESS RELEASE
EFSA assesses new aspartame study and reconfirms its safety
The AFC Panel1 of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has evaluated the
new long-term study on the carcinogenicity of aspartame conducted by the
European Ramazzini Foundation2 in Bologna, Italy. In its opinion published today,
the Panel concluded, on the basis of all the evidence currently available, that there is
no need to further review the safety of aspartame nor to revise the previously
established Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for aspartame (40 mg/kg body weight).
The Panel also noted that intakes of aspartame in Europe, with levels up to 10
mg/kg body weight per day, are well below the ADI.
Aspartame, an intense sweetener, has been authorized for use in foods and as a table-top
sweetener for more than 20 years in many countries throughout the world. Extensive
investigations have been carried out on aspartame and its breakdown products through
experimental animal and human studies, intake studies and post-marketing surveillance.
In addition to a number of safety evaluations conducted in the past, the Scientific
Committee on Food (SCF) carried out a review of all original and more recent studies on
aspartame in 20023 and reconfirmed that aspartame is safe for human consumption.
However, since it was introduced onto the market, the safety of aspartame has been a
controversial issue. In 2005, the European Ramazzini Foundation published new findings
of a long-term study on aspartame conducted in rats. The scientists from the European
Ramazzini Foundation concluded that the results of their study indicate that aspartame
can cause cancer and that the current guidelines on the use and consumption of the
sweetener should be re-evaluated. EFSA immediately undertook the evaluation of the
new findings and requested that the European Ramazzini Foundation provide all study
details necessary for the assessment. The European Commission confirmed the need to
assess the study and supported the high priority given to this work.

I looked up xylitol. Seems people use it to prevent sinus infections and allergies... interesting.

"Xylitol is a naturally occurring substance that is crystalline in form and looks and tastes like sugar. Xylitol is all natural, not artificial, and is a normal substance used in everyday metabolism. Our bodies produce up to 15 grams of xylitol each day. Found mostly in fruits and vegetables, xylitol is perfectly safe for human consumption and has been given the FDA's safest rating as a food additive. Because xylitol is absorbed slowly and only partially utilized by the body, it contains 40% less calories than other carbohydrates, about 2.4 calories per gram.

Over 2 decades of Clinical studies and use confirm that xylitol is effective in reducing dental decay and bacterial growth. Sugar free chewing gums and candies made with xylitol have received official endorsements from six national dental associations. Xylitol has also been found to have other substantial heath benefits and serves as a defense against sinus, ear, and upper respiratory infections.

In addition, xylitol serves as a popular sweetener for diabetics and people with hypoglycemia. It has a LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX (7) and has little effect on blood sugar levels, great for keeping net carbs low. Xylitol is recommended by dentists, medical doctors, periodontists, pediatricians and other heath professions and organization worldwide.

Xlear Inc. manufactures a variety of natural, heath-enhancing products based on pure xylitol. Xylitol based sweetener, Xylosweet? is a great alternative to sugar and can actually reduce the development of dental cavities in your mouth. Spry? Dental Defense System? products are sugar free and help you maintain good dental hygiene. Xlear? Nasal Wash flushes away pollutants, allergens, and bacteria that lead to upper respiratory infections in nasal passages. The regular usage of Xlear Nasal Wash, the Spry Dental Defense System, and Xylosweet Sweetener products can dramatically enhance your life and health."
