After finishing the first
part of this series, I had a major headache. It was probably my "holes" barking! But I think it was all the technical
terms and trying to simplify the best I could. I made it through and now I am
powering on.
Aspartame is made up of 50%
Phenylalanine, 40% Aspartic Acid, and 10% Methanol. We have explored what
happens with phenylalanine and aspartic acid once they become isolates. They
are launched into the blood stream in a matter of a few minutes as opposed to
12-20 hours as an amino acid. Once in the blood stream they bombard the brain
as excitotoxins. Once the cells has been exposed to the isolate, they start a
chain reaction that results in the death of the cell which leaves holes in the
brain. Because of the increase of calcium, these holes are filled with excess calcium.
The calcium then leads to such things as memory loss and seizures.
But what about the formaldehyde?
Phenylalanine and methanol
have a bond called methyl ester and it is very weak. This is what produces the sweet
taste of aspartame however, heating it up can cause the bond to break, the
drink not to be sweet and the drink to be straight poisonous methanol.
When methanol enters the
body, it enters small structures in a cell called peroxisomes. The peroxisomes
then turns the methanol into formaldehyde which in some animals, not humans, is
then tuned in to harmless formic acid. The formaldehyde is stored in the mitochondrial
DNA and the nucleic DNA poisoning them. These storage cells are in certain
areas of the body that avoid being filtered through the liver. The damage that is done to the DNA
can cause the cell to function inadequately or having an unbalanced homeostasis
which can cause diseases.
So we see that the
isolates and the methanol have a way of hurting our brains within hours of consumption, but what about over
time? What if you have been drinking aspartame for 10, 15 or even 20 years?
Well folks I am here to
tell you what happens in 15 years…you feel like death is knocking on your door.
Your doctors think that you are a hypochondriac. Your husband feels the same
way and you begin to wonder if there is really anything wrong with you at all.
I had been to a couple of
neurologists, had two MRI's of the brain, been on a few medications, and was told I had fibromyalgia (basically they could not figure out what was wrong with
me). Yes I hurt and I still do but not like I used to.
I had numbness, tingling,
heart palpitations, aches, pains, muscle twitches, and the list goes on. Each
time I went in to the see the doctor, the list either grew larger or it
included a new area. Everything was random. They checked me for MS, Lyme
disease, VD, strokes, you name it. And each time there was nothing they could find.
I was so sick of being
old before my time. One day I was talking with our real estate guy and he told
me that a colleague had the same issues and realized it was diet sodas. I was
like, no way could this be caused by aspartame. I had researched it many times
and finally over four years later, I realized I had no choice but to see if it
was the aspartame.
I think if only the
doctors would have been more concerned and asked me about whether or not I consumed
aspartame that I could have been over this years ago but it did not happen. It
was just take this and you will be better. I do not believe the doctors know
about the dangers of aspartame. They are not taught and unless they do the
research themselves they do not know what it looks like or how it affects a
patient.
But I am done blaming
others and only blame myself. After nearly 15 years of drinking the poison, I
quit it cold turkey. It was not easy.
Aspartame toxicity/poison is real. You can
find a lot of answers online. I am including a link to others who have fought
the good fight with aspartame. I am a smarter person because of my past
addictions. I now want to know what I put in my body. The FDA, doctors,
pharmaceutical companies, commercials, et cetera do not care about you and only
want to make a buck or two. You are the only person that can stand up and fight
for what goes in your body. I just wish I had known this years ago instead of
just following the sheep.
I may not have all the
correct “science” down for what happens when you ingest aspartame but I do know
this…it will hurt you. It will cause dain bramage. Been there, got the holes to
prove it!
