Suspiciously Sweet: How artificial sweeteners can hinder weight loss

'You may have read my post last week about sugar, its addictive qualities, and its effects on metabolism, entitled, “Spike, Crash and Burn: How Even a Little Sugar Could Be Sabotaging Your Weight Loss and Workouts”.  Blood sugar and its effect on metabolism is an extremely important piece of the weight loss and fitness puzzle.  

As I explained, the spikes and crashes that sugar creates in our bodies can cause our metabolism to go into survival mode.  These energy ups and downs send signals to our body that we don’t have a consistent source of energy to keep us moving.  

The body interprets this is a need to conserve energy, so it begins storing fat instead of burning it.  In this survival mode, we may find ourselves working out regularly and not losing weight at all.

You may be thinking, “No problem, I’ll just replace sugar with artificial sweeteners!”  But, do these products have consequences for our health?  What about our weight loss goals?'

Aspartame: 100 Times Sweeter Than Sugar, But is it Safe?

'We Americans…we are always looking for the shortcut, the inside track, the one pill solution to every problem. We want world peace resolved in a 30-minute sitcom and expect complicated medical problems to be solved with a clever review of an MRI. Equally unrealistic is our expectation that there exists some Promised Land of guilt-free, sugar-free candies and desserts that allow us to keep eating anything we want.

In fact, we want this fantasy so badly that we are willing to overlook little things like brain tumors, seizures, joint problems, and even death. Those and 92 other dangerous side effects come from a commonly used artificial sweetener with a sordid history of poor research, cover-ups and other nonsense. But that hasn’t stopped this toxic poison from invading thousands of different foods and beverages we eat every day.'

EFSA boss: “We were pressured by industry to hijack science”

'When will someone consider the health and welfare of consumers? What
does it take to remove a deadly addictive, excitoneurotoxic,
carcinogenic and genetically engineered drug that damages the
mitochondria and interacts with drugs and vaccine? Aspartame Disease is
now a global plague triggering epidemics of obesity, diabetes, MS,
lupus, cancer, seizures, blindness, psychiatric problems, birth defects,
sudden cardiac death and neurodegenerative diseases, for starters. 




Further, the free methyl alcohol is 35 times too high in the UK and 44
times too high in the US, with consumers dying of methanol poisoning.
Charles Fleming was one of them, and his wife Diane, who passed 3 lie
detector tests, was sentenced to 30 years in prison where she still
remains after 9 years of efforts to free her.'

Aspartame has been renamed and is now being marketed as a natural sweetener

Ethan Huff, citizen journalist

Natural News: 'In response to growing awareness about the dangers of artificial sweeteners, what does the manufacturer of one of the world's most notable artificial sweeteners do? Why, rename it and begin marketing it as natural, of course. This is precisely the strategy of Ajinomoto, maker of aspartame, which hopes to pull the wool over the eyes of the public with its rebranded version of aspartame, called "AminoSweet."'
