See book keywords and concepts |  As if sugar isn't bad enough, artificial sweeteners, which have been introduced into over 5000 food and drink products, are absolute poisons. During his 30 years of research on Alzheimer's disease, Dr. H. J. Roberts6 showed that artificial sweeteners containing aspartame, sold under various brand names, cause Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, plus a host of other disease and dysfunction symptoms. This is because the aspartic acid and phenylalanine in artificial sweeteners are neurotoxic without the other amino acids found in protein. |
Bottom Line Health
See book keywords and concepts | | ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved artificial sweeteners because there is no compelling evidence that they cause harm at current levels of intake. But I am not a fan of them. I can't believe any food that has that kind of chemical taste can be good for you. Their single virtue is the absence of calories, but there is not much evidence that their use has helped people lose weight. Perhaps people who use them compensate by eating more calories from other sources. Or perhaps artificial sweeteners reinforce our preference for sweets. |

See book keywords and concepts |  But as discussed, food manufacturers and the chemical companies have decided to add thousands of synthetic chemicals to our food and beverages in the form of preservatives, dyes, flavorings, flavor enhancers, stabilizers and artificial sweeteners. You truly do not know what you are eating.
Let's take a closer look at artificial sweeteners. They are of special interest to me based on the personal experience I've had with them over the years. artificial sweeteners are designed to reduce the caloric content in foods. The market is flooded with these products. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The effectiveness of artificial sweeteners as a weight reduction aid remains tenuous at best, particularly in light of the data presented in Figure 13. It is possible that artificial sweeteners may play a greater role in weight maintenance following a weight loss than in actually aiding the weight loss. Blackburn and his associates [171] performed one of the only long-term studies of the effectiveness of sugar substitutes in a weight reduction program. Their results can be seen in Figure 18. All subjects in this study were prescribed a 4180-kJ diet for 16 weeks, and then observed for 2 years. |

The latter is probably the most common, yet the least known cause of stomach problems and many other illnesses. I am using the example of stomach disorders to describe the basic mechanisms leading to disease. Most stomach pains are signals of advanced dehydration of the mucus lining. |

Sucralose, a fairly new artificial sweetener, can already be found in a wide variety of products including beverages and baking goods. Surprisingly, some nutritionally oriented companies manufacture products containing sucralose and health stores actually carry them, but is sucralose proven safe? Does sucralose provide any benefit (such as aiding in weight loss) to the public? Is this sweetener safe for the environment? |

See book keywords and concepts | | Artificial sweeteners are designed to reduce the caloric content in foods. The market is flooded with these products. Conflicting studies and reports from consumer advocate groups and companies who stand to profit from these multibillion dollar products keep the public off balance and unclear as to the risks associated with ingesting them. We rationalize their use with remarks like "You would have to take a hundred times the quantity they give to a rat to be affected." Not true. Saccharin, aspartame and sucralose, the big three chemical sweeteners are just that, chemicals. | | During the process of switching from one chemical sweetener to another, it occurred to me that where I was once satisfied with one pink packet of chemicals, I now needed three of the yellow packets, which was said to be twice as sweet as the other artificial sweeteners. Increased dependency was a major clue to this chemical addiction for me.
As my usage increased beyond the multicolored packets and into a variety of other products promising to keep me thin, my short-term memory deteriorated. Initially, I attributed my fading memory to age. My wife implored me to use raw sugar. | | My story may not constitute scientific evidence, but it's enough for me to realize that artificial sweeteners are man-made chemicals that are not worth the health risks.
Somewhere Between Toxic and Pure
The toxic environment in which we live is man-made, created in the name of comfort, convenience and profit. We have become addicted to the modern world's vast array of technologies and products. Everyday, we make decisions that have potentially dire consequences to our health and quality of life. | | Many of these products are loaded with unnatural compounds including preservatives, fillers, artificial sweeteners, artificial colors, artificial flavors, stabilizers and some even have partially hydrogenated oils (trans fats). Many people, including myself find the majority of these bars to have strange textures and tastes. Some experience unusual reactions such as itchiness, numbness and even swelling in the mouth and on the lips, which may be a result of an allergic reaction. It's not enough to focus on the calories, carbohydrates, fats, protein and sugar content. |

Practical Guideline #8. Don't Eat Foods Made with Refined and Added Sugars
Processed and refined foods commonly have added sugars, and in most cases these sugars rapidly increase your blood sugar. |
Andreas Moritz
See book keywords and concepts | | It is true that beverages such as tea, coffee, wine, beer, soft drinks, sports drinks and juices contain water, but they also contain caffeine, alcohol, sugar, artificial sweeteners or other chemicals that act as strong dehydrators. The more of these beverages you consume, the more dehydrated your body becomes because the effects they create in the body are exactly opposite the ones that are produced by water. Beverages containing caffeine, for example, trigger stress responses that at first have strong diuretic effects, leading to increased urination. | | Many kidney stones are formed as a result of insufficient water intake and the consumption of foods or beverages that have dehydrating effects, including meat, artificial sweeteners, sugar, alcohol, tea, coffee and sodas. Also, smoking cigarettes or watching television for too many hours has a dehydrating effect on the body and causes urine to become overly concentrated. This increases the precipitation of urinary constituents. | | Furthermore, organic foods are free of food additives such as MSG, hydrogenated fats, and artificial sweeteners and coloring agents, which have been associated with a risk of asthma, headaches, growth retardation, and hyperactivity in children. As the U.K. report further pointed out, these additives have been linked to the development of allergies.
Another advantage of organic food is that it is free of genetically modified (GM) organisms. The report notes that only ten studies of GM foods have been conducted so far. |

See book keywords and concepts |  These artificial sweeteners have no calories, do not affect blood sugar, and are generally safe. However, they should be avoided entirely by those who have phenylketonuria. Pregnant or lactating women should always seek the advice of their doctor regarding the use of artificial sweeteners.
Increasing your phenylalanine levels can be effective for treating mild depression, and particularly in countering fatigue. In my office, I have found that about 10 to 50 percent of depressed patients have low plasma phenylalanine, and eating phenylalanine-rich foods is an effective treatment. |

Sugar and artificial sweeteners Carbonated beverages, soft drinks Table salt
Margarine, commercial cooking oils
Processed flour products, pasta, pastries Grains ? Alcohol
The normal waste products of cellular metabolism are acidic. The body has to neutralize the acids because a healthy blood pH must be maintained at all costs. It does this with alkaline minerals. | | Candy, chocolate, desserts, gums, artificial sweeteners. (Unpasteurized honey and maple syrup are okay in moderation.) Wheat and wheat products (except the original varieties of spelt and kamut).
Breads and pastries: Bread made from any commercial flour, white flour, or flour that is more than 48 hours old. Macaroni, spaghetti, pasta. Breads that are high in salt. Over-cooked toast. Rolls. Pastries, crackers, biscuits, cookies, cakes, pies, pancakes, waffles, pizza. Potato and corn chips, pretzels, fried snacks, and doughnuts. Fats from animal sources: None, except unsalted butter. | | This is because the aspartic acid and phenylalanine in artificial sweeteners are neurotoxic without the other amino acids found in protein. They cross the blood brain barrier and deteriorate the neurons of the brain. Methanol (wood alcohol) in aspartame is released when temperature exceeds 86°f (30°c), and converts to formaldehyde and formic acid, both of which are potent poisons. When aspartame is ingested, this always happens because normal body temperature is 9-8.6°f (37°c).
Common table salt, sodium chloride, is salt that has been refined, processed, and depleted of its minerals. |

Yacdn Native to the Andes and related to sunflowers and Jerusalem artichokes, the yacon plant has edible roots full of indigestible fruit sugars, meaning it adds sweetness without impacting blood sugar levels.

Andreas Moritz
See book keywords and concepts | | If you eat artificial sweeteners, the body naturally responds to their sweet taste by secreting insulin. Rather than receiving sugar in the blood as expected, however, it receives a combination of protein compounds. Doing its normal job, the pancreas has already prepared a portion of insulin that now floats about in the bloodstream searching for the expected sugar. Since it isn't found there, the insulin removes some of the blood sugar instead. This effectively lowers your sugar levels. |
Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews
See book keywords and concepts |  Avoid those with artificial flavorings, artificial sweeteners, high-fructose corn syrup or trans fats. Try to find bars with less than 15 grams of sugar (even lower is better—some like Kashi® TLC bars have only 6 grams) and at least 2 grams of fiber. Finally, look for a bar that includes SuperFoods like oats, nuts, berries, ground flax, or other natural ingredients. Finally, limit your use of these bars to an occasional choice, say, when traveling, and not part of your daily routine. |
Byron J. Richards, CCN
See book keywords and concepts |  It is best to avoid all artificial sweeteners on The Leptin Diet™ because they flood the brain with sweet sensation in the absence of calories. This type of "sweet ingestion abuse"occurs nowhere in our genetic evolution.
Antiquated dietary guidelines recommend individuals use these to lower calorie intake, in essence replacing sugar. However, both sugar and artificial sweeteners skew the taste and appetite systems in a way that tends to compromise leptin balance. |
