Quotes about Artificial Chemical sweeteners from the world's top natural health / natural living authors
"Blurry Vision
The thing to watch out for on blurry vision is your consumption of artificial chemical sweeteners. Vision is endangered by the chemical breakdown of artificial sweeteners—including Aspartame—which breaks down into not only formaldehyde (which damages the nervous system), but also a type of alcohol known as methanol that can damage the nervous system. If you suffer from blurry vision, it is important to eliminate artificial chemical sweeteners from your diet. That means no diet sodas, "sugar-free" treats or other sources of such chemicals." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)
| "This is also misdirection, because many of them instead contain artificial chemical sweeteners that many doctors and nutritionists believe are, in fact, worse for you than the natural, simple sugars.
So, you can find sugar-free soft drinks, but they're made with aspartame and sucralose; and while sucralose seems to be the safer of the two, there are a great many complaints registered each year with the FDA about the neurological side effects of aspartame." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)
| "The main course of action for eliminating Alzheimer's is to eliminate the consumption of refined sugars, refined carbohydrates, artificial chemical sweeteners, MSG (Monosodium Glutamate), and any ingredients that contain MSG, such as yeast extract, autolyzed vegetable proteins, hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, and so on. Also, eliminating hydrogenated oil from the diet can have a huge impact on the health of the nervous system. Eliminate the toxins and feed your nervous system with healthy oils and good nutrition, and Alzheimer's becomes outdated." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)
"If you suffer from blurry vision, it is important to eliminate artificial chemical sweeteners from your diet. That means no diet sodas, "sugar-free" treats or other sources of such chemicals.
To protect your vision, you should eat large servings of raw, unprocessed berries. I believe the best berry in the world for enhancing vision is the camu camu Berry. The best source for that is currently the Amazon Herb Company out of Florida, which grows its own camu camu berries in Peru and imports them into the United States."

| "We've already covered artificial chemical sweeteners in some detail, so I'll limit my comments in this section. But allow me to summarize what we've learned so far:
• Most diet soft drinks are sweetened with aspartame. It is well known that aspartame breaks down into methanol (free methyl alcohol) which is a chemical regulated by the EPA and considered an environmental pollutant. This methanol, in turn, breaks down into formic acid and formaldehyde inside the human body." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.)
"From the research I've conducted, that makes them far healthier than any of the artificial chemical sweeteners we've previously discussed. If you find that your system is somehow immune to the gaseous effects of sugar alcohol, these natural sweeteners would be an excellent dietary choice. And even though I still believe that stevia is the best alternative sweetener of all (with none of the rocketship affects of sugar alcohols, by the way) sugar alcohols like xylitol have a far better taste, according to most people. Xylitol tastes just like sugar, and it has a similar consistency as well."

"Of the artificial chemical sweeteners discussed here, sucralose has the least number of critics, and it hasn't produced the avalanche of complaints caused by aspartame.
Once again, Eades' takes a conservative approach to sucralose:
Sucralose remains stable, withstands heat in cooking, measures like sugar, to most people tastes remarkably like sugar with no detectable aftertaste, and contains no absorbable calories - so it looks perfect. But is it? It's tempting to say so, but based on the track record of its forerunners, we'd have to say let's wait and see."

"Soft drinks, phosphorus, meat and osteoporosis
In addition to the significant health risks posed by the artificial chemical sweeteners found in diet soft drinks, another major health risk exists. This one is rarely discussed, however, and because few people know about it. They happily drink gallons and gallons of diet soft drinks each year, thinking they are "protecting themselves" from the ravages of refined sugars and high-fructose corn syrup."
