A woman was worried about her family’s addiction to diet soda. She researched the effects of aspartame (a synthetic ‘sugar-free’ alternative) and decided to perform an experiment. She got 108 rats and for 3 years, she fed some of the rats aspartame.
Eleven female rats who took aspartame developed massive tumors!

There has been a multitude of claims with varying levels of scientific certainty linking aspartame to many side effects and adverse health outcomes, including but not limited to:
cancer
seizures
headaches
allergies
skin problems
depression
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
dizziness
weight gain
sweet cravings
increased appetite and food intake
altered gut bacteria
type 2 diabetes
heart disease
high blood pressure
chronic kidney disease
behavioral and cognitive effects
poor blood glucose control
birth defects
preterm delivery
lupus
Alzheimer’s disease
multiple sclerosis (MS)
Aspartame toxicity is the common denominator for over 92 different health symptoms. Cleaning up the 'sugar-free' in your life is one way to create a healthier, longer, and happier life. Take charge today, drink more water, and eliminate the chemicals that can harm your body.
Some examples of aspartame-containing products include:
zero sugar soda
sugar-free ice cream
reduced-calorie fruit juice
sugar-free gum
reduced sugar ketchup
light yogurt
no sugar energy bars
sugar-free salad dressing
sugarless candy
If you want to avoid products containing aspartame, natural alternatives exist. You may want to try searching for products containing or sweetening foods and beverages with:
monkfruit
allulose
stevia
sugar alcohols
brazzein
These should still be consumed in moderation! Moderation is key.
A Chiropractic Wellness Lifestyle is about learning the habits that will help you to live a healthier life and we hope this blog for the week will help you take one more step to consistently living a healthy lifestyle.
ACTION: Look at the ingredients of any “sugar-free” items you may have and throw away any with aspartame. Any other ingredients you are unsure of, research them.
We hope this helps you, and let us know if you ever need anything!
