The Truth About Nutrasweet
It amazes me at how corrupt our health care system really is.
The FDA issued a warning to the Hain Celestial Group Inc. for using Stevia, an all-natural herbal sweetener, in its herbal tea.
The FDA stated, “Data and information necessary to support the safe use have been lacking.” The FDA did not cite any research studies.
This is a total joke and here’s why.
There is plenty of proven proof that aspartame, better known as Nutrasweet is a dangerous sugar substitute. (It’s actually a proven neurotoxin)
Here’s the story on Nutrasweet that you might not know.
The FDA approved Nutrasweet in 1981.
The FDA approved Nutrasweet for limited use in 1974, and at the time they were pressured to create a task force to determine it’s safe use. Dr. John Olney had conducted an experiment in which he fed Nutrasweet to mice and found that holes began to grow in the brains of the mice that were fed it.
Read that last sentence again…”Holes began to grow in the brains of mice that were fed Nutrasweet.”
And the FDA is worried about a natural sweetener being put in Celestial Seasoning’s herbal tea?
Give me a break. Oh, but it gets better. Let’s continue…
Once the task force was formed, it found an experiment in which 7 baby monkey’s were fed Nutrasweet mixed with milk. The results showed the monkey’s having seizures and one dying.
In 1977, the FDA was at a standstill on Nutrasweet. 3 FDA scientists said it was safe, and 3 did not say it was safe. At this time the FDA commissioner did not approve Nutrasweet.
This decision was overturned in 1981 when the FDA got a new commissioner. In 1981, Nutrasweet was allowed to be consumed by the general public.
Coincidentally, the new FDA commissioner worked for the company that marketed Nutrasweet.
How convenient.
This is just another fine example of the corruption, hypocrisy, and deception that goes on every day in our health care system.
It’s truly frightening to think the FDA would put their interests with big corporations before the health of our country and allow toxic chemicals like Nutrasweet to be consumed on a daily basis…and then question a natural sweetener.
I will continue to keep you up to date on the “REAL FACTS” and the “TRUTH” about our health care system. I want you to be as educated as possible so that you can stay as healthy as possible as you age.
