DIEt Pepsi bringing back dangerous Aspartame

June 27, 2016

Less than a year after removing the artificial sweetener from Diet Pepsi, PepsiCo (PEP) will bring back its previous formula in a limited number of packages, according to Beverage Digest. The drink’s light blue cans will be labeled with “Classic Sweetener Blend” and will be on shelves in September, said Beverage Digest. Aspartame-free Diet Pepsi will continue to be offered, while Pepsi MAX will be re-introduced to U.S. consumers as Pepsi Zero Sugar.

Evidence for Aspartame – Alzheimer link emerges

June 30, 2014

Most public health agencies and nutritionists in the United States still recommend no- or low-calorie artificial sweeteners as an acceptable, and even preferred, alternative to sugar. This flawed advice can have very serious repercussions for those who follow it.

Artificial sweeteners of all kinds have been found to wreak havoc with your health in a number of different ways. Aspartame, which is perhaps the worst of the bunch, has a long list of studies indicating its harmful effects, ranging from brain damage to pre-term delivery.

Aspartame is also the number one source of side effect complaints to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with over 10,000 complaints filed and over 91 documented symptoms related to its consumption.

Most recently, studies are also starting to confirm lingering suspicions that artificial sweeteners like aspartame may play a role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease, a serious form of dementia that is now thought to kill over half a million Americans each year.

The key mechanism of harm appears to be methanol toxicity—a much-ignored problem associated with aspartame in particular.
