Diet Soda – Bad

Seems like more and more people might be agreeing with me on this idea that diet soda might not be the cures to our ‘diet’ woes.  Or maybe I was agreeing with other people first…at any rate…
An article in Men’s Health said that while diet soda may be lower in calories than regular soda, the [...]

Aspartame Blog

I’ve added a WordPress blog, the Deadly Diet, to the BlogRoll at the bottom.  This blog is all about Aspartame!  There is some really good information on there.  Enjoy.

Selective Publishing

I came across this article on antidepressants and some of the studies they’ve done on them.   What was pointed out in this article was that antidepressants aren’t nearly as effective as we, the public, think they are.  Many unfavorable studies that indicate the antidepressants didn’t work don’t ever get published.
Whose fault is this?  I guess [...]

Diet and Regular Soda = Same Problems!

So finally…someone did a study showing that diet soda and regular soda cause weight gain, heart disease, and all kinds of other problems.  Soda consumption, in general…causes problems.  I guess we had to spend money to figure that one out.
HOWEVER…this article failed to talk about high fructose corn syrup (in the regular sodas) and aspartame [...]

Reviewing the FDA

There was a study recently (I think this year) released about the dangers of aspartame.  Some critics shot down the study for some different reasons that I can’t quite recall at the moment.  Just because this study was criticized, however, there is still some buzz around.
I found on the MSNBC health news section an article [...]

Nutrition Education and Childhood Obesity

“Review Finds Nutrition Education Failing”
I found the above article on Yahoo news (which seems to be my source of news lately), and I found it pretty interesting.
A study showed that just teaching children about nutrition had no significant effect.  Maybe children had a better attitude about fruits and vegetables (whatever that means), but they still [...]

Anything Good About Aspartame?

Nope.
A reader who posted a comment about my last aspartame blog posted that aspartame is ok for healthy people.  He also said that formaldehyde, formate, and methanol were healthy metabolic byproducts of aspartame.  Anybody can use wikipedia or a quick google search to figure out that these are toxic chemicals.
Here is a link to a [...]

Aspartame! Rut-roh!

The following is an article from www.prisonplanet.com.

Randomosity in Series: Toxic/Chemical Stress

Now it’s on to the topic of chemical stress.
Chemical stressors consist of anything we digest, inhale, or absorb through the skin.
Let’s start with the digestion of chemical stressors.  Well…we’ve covered high fructose corn syrup and aspartame already.  HFCS (just as a refresher) is linked to diabetes, obesity, heart disease, high cholesterol, just to name a [...]

Experiment in HFCS: Failed!

Well, I knew this weekend would be a tough weekend for me. I went up to Michigan for my brother’s wedding. We drove up too, a nice 12 hour drive with a 1 year old German shepherd in the backseat that requires some caffeine. I knew I wasn’t going to find organic [...]
