Must See Video! Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World
If you only do one thing for your health this year—watch the video below!
Do you use Nutrasweet, Equal or Splenda? Almost every food listed as sugar free—diet colas, diet teas, sugar-free gum, popsicles, etc.—contain these dangerous ingredients; aspartame and sucralose.
I’ve been changing my diet to a healthier one. Like most people, one of the first things I did was replace colas with diet colas. Then I replaced sugar in my coffee with a sugar substitute. I switched from a sugary yogurt to sugar-free yogurt.
Eventually I gave up all colas but continued to eat sugar-free yogurt. I assumed Yoplait Light was healthy. Most “light” or sugar-free yogurts contain aspartame and high fructose corn syrup. I was consuming at least one and usually two containers per day. Once I research the dangers of aspartame I ordered a yogurt maker.
This video explains the dangers. For more information see the health articles below.
Why isn’t Aspartame Banned?
Billions of Reasons: $$$
Dr. Christine Lydon, MD reported:
Of approximately 100 independent studies conducted on aspartame, over 90 percent have demonstrated significant health risks.
This would lead to the question “why hasn’t aspartame been banned?” In 1996, ignoring the fact that aspartame breaks down faster when heated above 86 degrees Fahrenheit, the FDA decided to remove any remaining limitations on its use.
Presently, there are thousands of companies using aspartame in diet sodas, powdered drinks, gelatin, tea, coffee, cocoa, juices, frozen desserts and even vitamins and medications. This translates to billions of dollars worldwide.
Unfortunately, this is more than enough to provide agency officials with lucrative future employment, politicians with campaign funds, non-profit foundations with endowments, scientists with research grants and the media with advertising dollars.
Healthy Alternative
Stevia is one of the most health restoring plants on Earth. It is a genus of herbs and shrubs in the sunflower family (Asteraceae), native to subtropical and tropical South America and Central America.
It has a delicious and refreshing taste and contains proteins, fiber, iron, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, zinc, vitamins A and C, and an oil which contains 53 other constituents.
Stevia is economical and available at any health food store and now in many grocery stores on the sugar aisle. Also available online:

Have you switched from the poison packets to stevia? How do you like it? Encourage others to switch in the comments.
I use Stevia in my coffee every morning and in my tea and other things. But I still like my Diet Mountain Dew but after listening to this video I need to stop because I have unnderlying health conditions that may be related to artificial sweeteners and I am responsible for this temple and will answer to God for how I treated this temple.
I tried the chemicals and didn’t like it, made me feel sick. I don’t see the problem with sugar, it’s a natural plant too. Stevia here in Australia is as processed as sugar and way more expensive, so I went back to sugar. I have one teaspoon in each of my two morning coffees and use brown sugar for baking.
We have been using Stevia for about 4years now. I have four young children and we use the drops in drinks, the powder packets in baking and cooking, and the tabs on the go(for Starbucks). My kids love the new stevia that looks like sugar( Viva, I think its called). The girls made “sugar” cookies in the easy bake oven, sprinkled it on top and my son goobled ‘em down. My mom bought a stevia plant at Walmart and has been growing it in her organic garden. When I put the leaf in my mouth it is so sweet on my tougue. I think it would be great in a glass of tea with a mint leaf to pair with it. I buy my stevia at HEB healthfood sect. now, instead of a healthfood store. It helps so much to lower our sugar intake when all the precious people that are trying to be kind to my children seem to give candy so often. We are learning to say no thank you and this is a help. God is Good!!Thanks Robin.
Love healthy Stevia! It has been proven to help those suffering from diabetes and hypoglycemia by stabilizing blood sugar levels. Studies suggest that stevia has the power to lower blood pressure. It can be used as a diuretic, as a digestive aid, and may aid in weight loss. It increases energy and mental alertness. Stevia has also been proven to improve skin conditions by smoothing and tightening skin and treating acne, sores, and eczema. There is also evidence that stevia has anti-microbial properties and can be extremely beneficial to overall tooth and gum health.
in the usa watch out for tru..ia and other ‘stevia’ FAKES that are processed and/or poisons added with it, like I guess in austr.l.a(which surprises me but not too much)…
blackstrap molasses is nice for many things also… (minerals, calcium, magnesium, taste/baking,coffee,drinks)…
