If you are like me , you prefer sweet things over a bag of salty chips. However, there are safer alternatives to ingesting the poisonous toxic dangerous white crystal called sugar.
According to Wikipedia the three primary compounds used as sugar substitutes in the United States are saccharin (Sweet'N Low), aspartame (Equal, NutraSweet) and sucralose (Splenda, Altern).
These artificial/chemical substitutes are just as bad as the regular refined sugar. Here are the sad facts :
- Sucralose, the main ingredient in Splenda, is sugar bonded with chlorine - you know, the stuff that's in bleach!
- Saccharin, a.k.a. Sweet 'n Low, is made from coal tar !
- Aspartame, is the worst and when ingested, it converts to formaldehyde, which is the chemical used for embalming corpses.
But if aspartame wasn't bad enough, NutraSweet "improved" the aspartame formula, making Neotame the newest dangerous sweetener on the market.

Fact : Refined sugar is lethal for human consumption because it has been depleted of its life forces, vitamins and minerals, rendering it “empty”.

Agave nectar is quite good! I use this as well as stevia. The taste of stevia doesn't bother me too much and I even use it in coffee and tea.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary! :D I use all of them as well(the safer alternatives)but usually when I want to sweeten my green smoothie or herbal tea I use SugarTwin liquid sweetener .
ReplyDeleteI must admit I don't like the taste of stevia or agave .
I love maple syrup but hardly ever buy it!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm right in saying that aspartame is a form of arsenic?? Delightful stuff!
