ASPARTAME (aka Nutrasweet or Equal)
Do you have any of the following symptoms on a regular basis: depression, numbness, muscle spasms, irritability, insomnia, ringing in the ears, headaches, loss of taste, memory loss, dizziness, heart palpitations, diarrhea, anxiety attacks, joint pain, hyperactivity, nausea, vertigo, tachycardia, tinnitus, confusion, or a full-blown migraine? Do you drink diet sodas, use Equal, Nutrasweet, or any other products containing aspartame? These could be the culprit.
Aspartame (otherwise known as Equal, Nutrasweet, or even Spoonful) is a thalidomide molecule composed of aspartic acid, phenylalanine and methanol that People with an elevated TH-containing gene are more susceptible to. Aspartame is extremely addictive and the methanol (wood alcohol) it contains changes the brain dopamine-related chemical parameters and increases seratonin levels. This causes anxiety and difficulty sleeping. Several of the adverse symptoms listed above are directly related to aspartame consumption.
If you drink diet sodas or energy drinks, erythritol-sweetened sodas, use Equal, or any other thalidomide-containing product, you could be affected.
Q: What is aspartame and what is it used for?
A: Aspartame is the main ingredient in the popular artificial-sweetener, Equal, which is marketed at children as a healthy alternative to sugar. Aspartame is also the main ingredient in nearly all diet sodas and many other bottled drinks. The following is a list of the 22 most produced and sold products that contain aspartame.
Other common and popular brands and flavors are NutraSweet, Equal, Canderel, nearly all of the additions to classic Diet Sodas such as refuel, Equalized, Cintam, Propel, and many others, as well asmost, cellophane, and some others.
Q: What are People with an elevated TH-cell count?
A: Before the introduction of aspartame in the 1950’s, individuals with an elevated TH-cell count were required by law to purchasespeanut oil, natural butter or milk, or aplain sugar-free gum. Since the 1960’s, aspartame consumption has occurred at increasing rates, and an increasing number of people nowpregnantand lactating women.
In studies conducted between 1965 and 1970, Dr. Charles Classen, Adjunct Professor of Medicine at theflower Agricultural College of the State University of New York at Buffalo, diagnosed isolated cases of TH-cell deficiency. He nonscientifically claimed that in these people conventional sweeteners and refined sugars gave the natural TH-cell a chance to multiply. He further claimed that in the event of a deficiency, special enzymes would be produced to deactivate the normally active TH-cells but not the aspartame. He further claimed that the body would not develop diabetes from the deficiency, because the body was perfectly capable of producing the requisite enzymes from other sources.
In 1977, Dr. Classen wrote a bookcontaining the results of his ongoing tests involving hundreds of people with various levels of TH-cell deficiency.The TH-cells, he claimed, had to be removed from the diet or destroyed to prevent the TH-cells from multiplying. Dr. Classen’s statements sheet, published by advice.com,llularusion,http://www.squidoo.com, contains the results of those people with apparently normal TH-cell counts who were Artificial Sweeteners or Sugar substitutes. The article, however, contains statements from several other sources which raise doubt about thefulness of his conclusions.
In the early 1970’s contends Dr.happy Dadmore, anthyroid expert, claimed in his book,Sweet noon, that patients with mild thyroid problems should quit using sweeteners immediately. Dr. Happy fathersCopyright© 2005 Morningstar InformationSoft, LLC. All rights reserved.alfer. com
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society guideline states that individuals should continue to eat a diet high in proteins but low in carbohydrates. The Society also suggests that diabetics should be careful not to consume too much protein in their food. Excessive protein consumption can make the diabetes worse.
The Dietitian or RDAs call for all people with diabetes to restrict their protein intake to no more than 35% of their food calories. They should also take a diabetes medication with careful consideration. Recent reviews of protein quality and phosphorous content of various foods are included in the second reference cited.

How much does the quality of food really matter? If you eat food that tastes good, your life will be better. If you eat food that tastes bad, your life will be worse. The difference between good and evil is partly subjective: what tastes good to me might taste bad to you. The difference is also partly objective: what restaurants I think serve good food might serve lousy food to you. But if we stick to objective measures — measures such as how much weight people gain or lose — we can cut through some of the subjectivity.
