Consumers Force Pepsi To Remove Excitotoxin Aspartame From It’s Diet Soda (VIDEO)
Aspartame has been linked to a number of diseases, can impair the immune system, and is even known to cause cancer. Aspartame has even been found to create tumors in lab rats.
Consumers have become increasingly wary of aspartame, an artificial, man-made sweetener that has been plagued by rumors that it causes cancer.
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” 3 John 1:2 (KJV)
Sales of Pepsi’s premier diet soda, Diet Pepsi, have plummeted over 35% in the past ten years as consumers are roundly rejecting the consumption of it. Time was the average consumer had no access to information, but in the hyper-speed of the blog-fueled Internet age, information is just a click away.
Since I was a teenage, I have enjoyed an ice-cold glass of Diet Pepsi from time to time, but shortly after drinking it I get a headache and most of the time heart palpitations. Coffee does not do this to me and neither does drinking regular soda. It is because of reactions just like mine that thousands of Diet Pepsi drinkers are saying no to aspartame.
Consumers have become increasingly wary of aspartame, an artificial, man-made sweetener that has been plagued by rumors that it causes cancer. Aspartame is often sold under the brand names NutraSweet® and Equal®. PepsiCo has introduced a beverage sweetened with natural sweetener Stevia called Pepsi True.
Aspartame is an addictive substance. Most people who consume diet sodas regularly soon develop a craving for it. This is because of aspartame’s addictive quality. Soon after consuming the ingredient on a normal basis, many people find themselves unable to kick the habit.
This is concerning due to the fact that aspartame has been linked to a number of diseases, can impair the immune system, and is even known to cause cancer. Aspartame has even been found to create tumors in lab rats. One study showed that of 48 rats experimented on, up to 67 percent of all female rats developed tumors roughly the size of golf balls or larger. This is glaringly in contrast to the perceived nature of what a ‘sugar free alternative’ would entail, which is generally thought to be a ‘healthy’ substitute to sugar.
Aspartame works as an excitotoxin, stimulating a response in cells to simulate the effects of sweetness without actually being sweet. Over exertion of these cells leads to the various health conditions that currently wreak havoc on the public.
Excitotoxins have been found to stimulate cancer growth and metastasis. Aspartame, essentially, feeds cancer cells. If this weren’t enough to convince you to drop the diet soda habit, the process by which aspartame is made involves a highly toxic and volatile and genetically engineered form of bacteria waste — hardly something that would be considered safe by a reasonable standard.
And yet, the ‘safe and reasonable’ FDA has approved aspartame for use. Knowing the gamut of health risks that aspartame is responsible for, and knowing the history of FDA approved products, your health becomes your own responsibility. Being aware of its presence in over 6,000 products and counting is essential.
