 It has none of the usual junk found in multi-vitamins for kids (no artificial colors, no sugars, no chemical sweeteners, etc.), but it's loaded with plant extracts and even tastes great thanks to the xylitol and stevia in the formula. See the ingredients yourself at: http://www.integratedhealth.com/hpdspec/kids.htm
Here's the catch: This formula was made with such high-end ingredients that most parents thought it was too expensive at $24.95 / bottle. |

 Eventually I did stop using chemical sweeteners in favor or raw or organic sugar. For weeks, one tablespoon in a cup of coffee tasted like there was no sweetener at all. Soon the taste started to come back along with my memory and now one tablespoon tastes the same as three packets of chemicals. Today, my brain feels like a fog has lifted. 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. |

 Most of the popular protein products on the market are sweetened with refined sugars (obesity, anyone?), chemical sweeteners (toxicity) or sugar alcohols (diarrhea). But Jay Robb's protein products have no such sweeteners. They use the natural herb stevia. And somehow they manage to make even egg protein (which is usually rather boring) taste good. I know because I slammed three sample cups of this egg protein for breakfast one morning at the trade show (I couldn't find any healthy food at the hotels, so I headed straight for Jay's booth for some quality protein to get my day started). |

 Protect the profits of aspartame and other chemical sweeteners.
Openly allows the mass poisoning of the public with cancer-causing food additives such as sodium nitrite.
Refuses to enforce its own laws regarding unsafe chemical toxins in personal care products, allowing perfume and lotion companies to continue poisoning the public with cancer-causing chemicals that don't even have to be listed on the label, nor proven safe.

 Since the very beginning, the FDA has done everything in its power to protect the aspartame industry, including denying approval for the natural herbal sweetener stevia as a way to suppress the competition and protect the market for corporate-manufactured chemical sweeteners like aspartame.
CSPI urges re-evaluation of aspartame safety
This latest study on aspartame and cancer caused the CSPI to issue a public press release calling for the FDA to review the study to determine whether aspartame is really safe. |

 Cough syrup and over-the-counter medicines
Nearly all children's over-the-counter medicines contain multiple toxic substances such as chemical sweeteners, preservatives and additives. Cough syrup, in particular, has been scientifically proven to be absolutely worthless in preventing coughs. Many "children's" medicines are actually more toxic than their adult counterparts because they're sweetened up and cosmetically enhanced with artificial colors made from petrochemicals. Yet parents poison their children every day with over-the-counter medicine.

| Diet sodas are even worse, since they contain chemical sweeteners linked to neurological disorders and learning disabilities.
16. Air fresheners
Air fresheners contain cancer-causing chemicals. Unleashing them in the house exposes children to these chemicals, promoting asthma and other respiratory problems. If you value the health of your children, avoid air freshener products and just use essential oils or citrus peels instead. (Peel an orange and hang the peel in your kitchen.)

Stabilizing aloe vera gel
The aloe vera product I'm recommending here uses a low-temperature drying technique. Most aloe vera on the market is dried at much higher temperatures. In fact, click here to read an interesting patent on stabilizing aloe vera gel using high-temperature drying that goes up to 80 degrees Celcius. The patent makes for interesting reading if you're curious how aloe vera gel is typically harvested and packaged. |

 Many over-the-counter medicines are nothing but chemical sweeteners, artificial colors, syrups and small doses of dangerous laboratory chemicals. Some actually contain the very same chemicals banned by the FDA in herbal medicine.
For example, the FDA outlawed the selling of ephedra, a common herb in Chinese Medicine, yet the same active chemical is openly allowed to be purchased in over-the-counter cold medicines sold at virtually every corner pharmacy in America. |
| Nearly all of them are laced with toxic chemical additives (such as coloring chemicals and chemical sweeteners), and virtually none of them do anything to actually help the body heal. Remember, too, that 16,500 people bleed to death out of their intestinal tract as a side effect from taking over-the-counter painkillers. The number of people killed by pharmaceuticals today is nothing short of astonishing. |

Book Description: Millions of dieters using chemical sweeteners will be shocked by firefighter Janet Starr Hull's story. Diagnosed with a deadly case of Grave's Disease after she collapsed on the job, Hull was told she would die. Searching for the cause of her illness, Hull discovered that the chemical sweetener aspartame found in Nutrasweet was to blame.

| Saccharin, aspartame and sucralose, the big three chemical sweeteners are just that, chemicals. And if they are safe for you, why would obstetricians warn pregnant and lactating women to avoid using them?
We have been conditioned to believe that sugar is bad for us. Actually in moderation, raw, unprocessed sugar is one of the most natural things you can eat. When you ingest a chemical into your body you have no way of knowing the short or long-term health consequences. It is an unnecessary gamble with your health that most people don't take seriously. |

| Plus, many are loaded up with artificial colors, sucrose and chemical sweeteners. Avoid cheap, store-bought children's vitamins or anything containing cyanocobalamin (a toxic form of vitamin B12). Quality children's vitamins are available through sources like Nordic Naturals (fish oils) and www.IntegratedHealth.com (also check www.WellnessResources.com for high-quality supplements).

 You've done it here without refined sugars and without chemical sweeteners of any kind. In fact, there are no sweetener ingredients at all in this product?
Lovejoy: That's right.
Mike: Yet, I just tasted it and it tastes fantastic. What's your secret?
Lovejoy: Well, my secret is very guarded. Actually, it tastes like spearmint and it has a green tea taste to it, although green tea is not a predominant ingredient of the product. Even when you smell it, it actually smells like chocolate.
Mike: Yes.
Lovejoy: It's very interesting and when you mix it just with water. It tastes great. |

 It could also mean that you are poisoning your body with cancer-causing substances such as sodium nitrite or chemical sweeteners, artificial colors, refined carbohydrates and environmental toxins such as the toxic chemicals found around your home. Common antibacterial soaps, for example, contain a chemical ingredient known as triclosan that, when combined with chlorine in tap water, generates highly carcinogenic fumes. Merely eating processed meats, recent studies show, boosts your risk of pancreatic cancer by 7600%! |

 Many migraines occur simply because of the consumption of aspartame and chemical sweeteners. Some of it is caused by eating fried foods, and yet more of it is caused by the consumption of excitotoxins such as Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) or hidden food ingredients that contain MSG, such as yeast extract, autolyzed vegetable protein and hydrolyzed vegetable protein. Excess processed sodium in foods can also trigger headaches, and there is far too much sodium in foods like canned soups, for example.
It's important to note that the human brain does not normally hurt. |
| They use shampoo containing toxic artificial fragrance chemicals, they use deodorant products made with more toxic chemicals, and they use toothpaste containing chemical sweeteners, non-natural fluoride and many other toxic chemicals. Once they're done with all that poisoning, they'll slap on some aftershave, perfume, or cologne, further poisoning their skin and liver with toxic chemicals. Some brand-name perfumes contain as many as 22 different cancer-causing chemicals identified by laboratory testing. |
| They consume chemical sweeteners like those found in diet soft drinks. Above all, every single one of them I've ever met has a substance addiction either to nicotine or caffeine. Many of them are also addicted to sugar.
Now for those who want to be free of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I highly recommend the book The New Detox Diet by Elson Haas, M.D. Dr. Elson Haas is one of the doctors and authors I respect the most. His new detox diet can help you completely eliminate these toxic, addictive substances such as sugars, caffeine, artificial sweeteners, and nicotine from your daily diet. |
| If you suffer from blurry vision, it is important to eliminate artificial chemical sweeteners from your diet. That means no diet sodas, "sugar-free" treats or other sources of such chemicals.
To protect your vision, you should eat large servings of raw, unprocessed berries. I believe the best berry in the world for enhancing vision is the camu camu Berry. The best source for that is currently the Amazon Herb Company out of Florida, which grows its own camu camu berries in Peru and imports them into the United States. |
| Nervous system poisons include hydrogenated oils, excitotoxins such as MSG, aspartame and other chemical sweeteners, plus artificial colors and most prescription drugs. Prescription drugs are so dangerous to cognitive function that today as many as 30 percent of all traffic accidents involve prescription drugs, because people take drugs and then think they can continue to drive. But they have impaired nervous system function—-which means impaired perception and slower reaction times—and this leads to traffic accidents. |
| Avoid food preservatives, artificial colors, chemical sweeteners, MSG or caffeine.

 We have chemical additives, irradiated produce, fat substitutes, chemical sweeteners, chemicals leached from packaging, and new "designer" (genetically modified and engineered) foods. These prepared foods are coming to us from big industry because of our demand for it. We no longer grow our own produce, gather fruit in season, or purchase our meat from a local farmer or butcher. What we have lost is the pristine quality and richness of vital nutrients from our foods. |

 It's also inexpensive to use chemical sweeteners like NutraSweet. But if you want a gum product that's going to protect your health and prevent dental cavities, the way to go is to buy a gum based on xylitol. And from my research, Spry is the number one choice out there. |

 Mike: What about other popular chemical sweeteners like sucralose in Splenda?
Dr. Blaylock: There's really not a lot of research in those areas. They have some basic research, like with Splenda, showing thalamus suppression. If that holds up in other research, it's a major concern. If you're suppressing the thalamus gland in a child, that's the future of their immune function. You can increase everything from autoimmunity to producing immune-related diseases, to infections and cancers. The implications of thalamus gland suppression are enormous. |

 I'll talk more about stevia later, but for now I want to bring you back to the main point of this section: that too many consumers frequently turn to products sweetened with chemical sweeteners, and as a result, they are turning themselves into human guinea pigs and consuming chemicals that have never been proven safe for long-term consumption.
As a person who used to eat refined carbohydrates and who now avoids them, I certainly understand sweet tooth cravings. |
| Aspartame
Of all the chemical sweeteners that are still legal (cyclamates were banned years ago), aspartame by far has the worst record.
It is my opinion, after reviewing an enormous amount of medical and research literature, that monosodium glutamate, aspartame, and other excitotoxin dietary additives pose an enormous hazard to our health and to the development and normal functioning of the brain. To continue to add enormous amounts of excitotoxins to our food is unconscionable and will lead to suffering and ruined lives for generations to come. |
| It turns out none of these chemical sweeteners have been proven safe for widespread, long-term human consumption. And most have been sufficiently researched to raise important, serious questions about whether they actually contribute to health disorders.
But I want to tell you there is good news yet to come. The single best alternative sweetener is one not yet approved for use in foods by the FDA: stevia. Stevia is derived from a plant and has been used for decades throughout the world as a non-calorie alternative sweetener. |
