Interesting blurb on aspartame

[brahma_bull]

Skokie sugar, aka Aspartame, decomposes into methanol and formaldehyde at temperatures above 86F. Look at the bright side, you can save on embalming expenses.

i tried saying a while ago when i joined that splenda and aspertame were no good and that they are root for health probs...i think people thought i was nutty...lol

 

[brahma_bull]

i don't think you're nutty lmao, smart more like it. I've always stayed away from aspartame, but use splenda regularly I've never really heard anything bad about splenda, got any links?

 

[obiwan9962]

while aspartame is bad on so many levels i always knew it decomposed at a low temperature

splenda on the other hand is derived from normal sugar just reconfigured in a way that it cannot be broken down in the body
and at 10 times sweeter than natural sugar it is great
just a bit more expensive commercially than aspartame so the cola companies refuse to use it
fresca used to use splenda...no longer

at home i use stevia
naturally sourced from a root it is 100 times sweeter than sugar and does not up the insulin

i will look into it....my father in law is a health nut..used to drink a lot of diet coke back in the day...quit because of the sugar subsitutes and stuff...i will see what i can find about splenda for you

something to think about:
splenda is the only commercial sweetner recommended by most diabetic groups

hi
not sure who you are but please consider i've been doing research in nutrition, dieting and food for the last 25 years
i am also a professional chef

now to the point
did you actually read the first article
it's last addendum was 3 years ago
and splenda was approved
and the amounts given is inconceivable one person might ingest that in one day
they bad mouthed saccharine
and now they have quietly gone back and said saccharine is not as bad for you as they originally thought

i am prediabetic hypoglycemic
have been for 16 years
i have managed to keep diabetes from my door by monitoring what i eat and judiciously using saccharine, splenda and stevia


and please note
ANYTHING in excess can be potentially toxic

lol like the silly twits with their oxygen tanks

lol...hi, any way- i choose not to use splenda..obviously when they first said there was something wrong with it they said it for a reason..i am not downing you because you choose to use it or what not..i am simply saying that i would not use it.that is all!

i am just suggesting consumer beware
not everything they say is gospel
they've been saying aspartame is GRAS for years
(GRAS = generally regarded as safe)
but alot of groups run around trying to scare people
think about the dosage given to the lab animals
some dosages are even as much as ten times the body weight of the animals
hmm i suppose a person could eat a 2000 pounds of "xxxxx" a day (assuming the person weights 200 pounds


all i mean by this: is do not run scared just because two lab freaks bored in wichita KS decide how cool would it be to investigate said chemical and get federal funding while paying for school and whatever else while getting published and a degree

confuscius once said: everything in moderation

not suggesting arsenic but even arsenic was used as a medicant back in the day before science progressed
and it saved lives


ah
i blather
the signs of a working mind
lol
albert einstein blathered alot
only person i know who got less sleep than i do

just a pinch a salt and pound of prevention

I'm getting mad at those threads about aspartame

Aspartasme is safe for God's sake!

Show me one, just one scientific article that proves it isn't safe and I'll STFU

Unless you're Phenylketonuric or sensitive to phenylalanine, which is very rare, aspartame is GRAS

orb chill
i know it is GRAS
just not for me
and i was trying to enlighten the lil miss about the ways of "testing"

what about sodium cyclamate?

It's cheap, tastes OK and is as sweet as aspartame or Splenda... and is GRAS

 

[obiwan9962]

have used it myself
seems to be the new sweet and low
found no side effects
nothing i would use consistently
i prefer not to use anything that is prefixed with sodium on a regular basis

i've been busy with work til just these last few days
lol
sounds like me

the general method for determining toxicity is a LD50, which is the dosage of drug needed to kill off half of the test subjects. This works for something like anti-cancer drugs, since small amounts can cause major toxicity, but to see the effects of aspartame you really have to jack up the levels. These are amounts no sane human would consume per unit of time.

lol i agree
just it makes worryworts run mel pel

a list of ingredients that the fda believes in small amounts will cause no harm

it's a huge freaking list

reminds me of how odd us 'fitness freaks' are. We take all kinds of exotic supplements, 5-10 pills a day without a thought, but we're so quick to latch onto irrational hysteria. One thing I find quite funny is MSG, which is just the sodium salt of glutamate. According to various studies this amino acid can cause all kinds of crazy things, yet here we are consuming it readily in our meat to get that sacred 1 g/lb requirement. And some of us even spend 30-50 dollars on glutamine supplements which is essentially glutamate minus an extra amine group. Although if you're sodium sensitive, then I could see how MSG should be cut or reduced. Anyways just an observation.

OK guys

Aspartame causes brain and testicular cancer
It will dissove your bones quicker than Coke
It's the main cause of Alzheimer and Parkinson

OK, don't bother me with aspartame again!

Now I need to stick 800mg of testosterone + 400mg Winstrol + a few D-Bols and 4IU of Growth Hormone in my ass

 

[Mr_Sinister]

you forgot the anadrol .
