It seems aspartame is made from CARP

the_hawk* — Mon, 26 Aug 2013 00:23:29 GMT

This scientific jargon obfuscates (perhaps deliberately) a truly disturbing process:

1.) 'Cloned microorganisms' (which the patent later reveals to be genetically modified E. coli) are cultivated in tanks whose environments are tailored to help them thrive.

2.) The well-fed E. coli cultures defecate the proteins that contain the aspartic acid-phenylalanine amino acid segment needed to make aspartame.

Aspartame is a chemical, a fine white powder, like many other fine white powdered drugs.

It should be illegal! It is NOT a weight reducer and it IS a health hazard

I would'nt have anything with artificial sweetener. I'd rather just go without sweets or sweetener.

TH this topic also has been debated here a few times here in a similar fashion to vaccinations, fluoride etc. and also with the same amount of myth, hoax, conspiracy, non scientific knowledge in the mix.

However TH, you are well in that mix above with the much used comment s :

"...which the patent later reveals to be genetically modified E. coli...". and

"The well-fed E. coli cultures defecate the proteins that contain the aspartic acid..."

You describe the above thus " This scientific jargon obfuscates (perhaps deliberately) a truly disturbing process:"

The jargon that is mentioned, with some additions by the anti mob, to "disturb" the absolute layman (person) is the same process used to produce Genetically Engineered E. Coli for Human Insulin

TH, when you next have an alcoholic drink consider the fermentation process involved in producing alcohol, then put it in some equally "disturbing terms"

Blue cheeses also have "disturbing" histories.

AFD: "It should be illegal! It is NOT a weight reducer and it IS a health hazard"

What absolute uninformed nonsense.

actually it is not nonsense at all. my sister did a nutrition course and was told that aspartame was extremely bad for you. it also increases your appetitie. there are other natural sweeteners available which are not so dangerous. i won't eat margarine because of the chemicals also. i try to eat as little chemcially enhanced food as possible.

Well, you've heard the saying "Only fat people drink diet coke". Well, this is why!

Yes, exactly incyfroth! I'm now looking at the fine print on packaged food items, not only for the sinister canola but also the insidious artificial sweetener that has crept in.

Hang on mate. You know very well that when a subject is created and you place the title in, the system automatically searches subject history and brings up other threads for consideration. This is to stop duplicates! This thread had only about 5 or 6 replies on it, two of them was from members who are active contributors to this forum.

I'm just making use of a low reply thread which the system here suggests I do!

Why don't you just discuss the topic? Or not, as you see fit?

Why do you feel the need to constantly question and critiscise other poster's choice of topic.

The subject matter was of interest then, and still is.

It is still being used as a sweetener, despite health concerns being raised over it's use:

"Alleged dangers

Medical experts, including Dr John Olney, a leading researcher into neuropsychopharmacology has raised serious concerns about neurotoxic effects of aspartame.

Aspartame has also been linked with the development or aggravation of a number of health conditions including:

diabetes mellitus
convulsions
headaches
depression
psychiatric states
hyperthyroidism
hypertension
arthritis

Aspartame has also been linked with the development of grand mal seizures and brain cancers in mammals such as rats and monkeys. [98]

Official reviews carried out by the US’ Food and Drug Administration and the European Food Safety Authority report that there is no consistent evidence of harm in humans.

Despite being declared safe, a number of leading academics have still expressed doubts over the safety of the sweetener.

and, Aspartame is the sweetener used in Diet Coke. Anecdotal evidence from the USA over the last 4 years has shown it can cause:

- delusions of grandeur

- a propensity to exaggerate

- persistent lying

- excessive tweeting in the wee small hours

- paranoia leading to claims of election fraud

- mistrust of mainstream media

- seriously bad public displays of dance moves to YMCA

- inciting insurrection

- cheating at golf

- excessive use of spray-tan

- orange skin colouring

among other things

Donald Trump drinks Diet Coke? What do you know.....I would never have guessed.

Another sweetener - Sorbitol - is no better.

It is also used as a laxative......and for anyone who has sorbitol intolerance - it works.

I can't imagine anyone wanting to have this added to their diet icyfroth. This is nothing but a chemical.

People seriously need to read the fine print on the back of the food packaging.
