ASPARTAME (NutraSweet®) IS NOT YOUR FRIEND
It is a toxic chemical that can have serious effects on our nervous system. I wrote about it on this page. There's a lot to the aspartame story. It is a very profitable item for the drug company that makes it. You can find it in just about every kind of food - even in some so-called health foods. There are many studies that emphasize the toxic nature of aspartame yet it is still on the market and remains very popular.

It is sold as a no-calorie sweetener and most of us live with the belief that using it instead of something like sugar (that contains calories) will help up loose weight. That isn't true.

Recently I received an email from a friend with links to an interesting article in The Idaho Observer. It is an interesting story about how one person has used aspartame to get ride of - kill - pests, like ants. Here's a quote from the article,

"How does it Work: Aspartame is a neuropoison. It most likely kills the ants by interfering with their nervous system. It could be direct, like stopping their heart, or something more subtle like killing their sense of taste so they can’t figure out what is eatable, or smell, so they can’t follow their trails, or mis-identify their colonies members, so they start fighting each other. Not sure what causes them to end up dying, just know that for many species of ants it will kill them quickly and effectively."

Isn't that interesting? Here's a chemical that is in just about every sweet food product and it is powerful enough to kill ants. Does anyone really think that it would be ok for humans to ingest? I don't. Do yourself a health-favor and get aspartame out of your diet. Watch those labels. Our government insists that manufacturers put them on all foods for a reason. When you know what you're eating you will know what to avoid - or at least you'll know why you feel bad when you've eaten something like aspartame.

Here's another educational link about aspartame.

 

The Compounder Recommends:

PERI-GUM® - I tried this product and now I use it every day.
What is Gum Disease? Although 3 out of 4 people over 35 have gum disease, most do not realize it because it often does not cause any noticeable symptoms in the mouth.  Infection of the gums can go on for years without someone knowing it.  The first signs may be tenderness when brushing, some swelling, blood on the toothbrush, and redness of the gums instead of a healthy pink color.

 Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) is caused by plaque bacteria.  If plaque is not removed, it grows and causes pockets between the teeth and gums.  As the infection progresses the gums become more inflamed and bleed more.  This is called periodontitis and can cause loss of teeth.  The severity of periodontitis is measured by the depth of the pockets between the teeth and the gums.

 One of our customers told me about PERI-GUM® I placed an order and tried it myself before putting on the shelf - or offering it to our online customers. If you use and and are not delighted I'll refund your purchase price. Click HERE to read more.
