Let’s “raise the flag” on a current issue of great importance – aspartame dangers. Aspartame is one of the most controversial topics in modern time, and its safety concerns are impacting the world.
Over 40 percent of the world’s aspartame supply is manufactured in Japan, and until The NutraSweet Company lost its patent in the 1990s, aspartame was exclusively made in Japan.
Aspartame is an ingredient found in over 6,000 consumer foods and beverages sold worldwide, including (but not limited to) diet sodas and other soft drinks, instant breakfasts, breath mints, cereals, chewing gum, cocoa mixes, frozen desserts, gelatin desserts, juices, laxatives, chewable vitamin supplements, milk drinks, pharmaceutical drugs and OTC medications, shake mixes, tabletop sweeteners, teas, instant coffees, topping mixes, wine coolers, and yogurt.
Aspartame is influencing the lives of millions of people worldwide, and increasing your awareness concerning the dangers of aspartame products can result in a healthier lifestyle. The stronger our health care communities become, the healthier you and your family become.
A Wealth of Evidence
Since its discovery in the 1960s, aspartame has significantly influenced our global food supply. Despite the wealth of evidence showing that aspartame is a toxic substance, this chemical sweetener remains on the global market today. In spite of scientific proof showing that aspartame causes neurological brain damage, cancer, endocrine disruption, weight gain, and fetal deformities, among other adverse health effects, aspartame is still marketed as a safe and natural chemical sweetener.
Japan’s Ajinomoto Company
American based G.D. Searle Pharmaceuticals first discovered aspartame in 1965. Searle contracted Japan’s Ajinomoto Company, Inc. to manufacture and supply their “revolutionary” amino acid-based sweetener, and Ajinomoto perfected the industrial synthesis of aspartame. Today, the Ajinomoto Company claims to be the world’s largest producer of aspartame, with a 40 percent global market share. Ajinomoto has operations in 23 countries and regions worldwide backed by over 100 manufacturing facilities. They employ over 24,000 people, and their yearly revenue averages $9.84 billion U.S. The questionable safety of aspartame puts Japan’s Ajinomoto Company in the middle of global consumer safety concerns.
The Ajinomoto Company states on their websites that they are the world’s “#1 Amino Acid Science Company.” Since 1908, they have been a world leader in the refining, blending, and pulverizing of amino acids. They claim that they manufacture the world’s finest pharmaceutical grade amino acids; nevertheless, they also state that the two amino acids they use in aspartame are all natural.
Global scientific research has discovered that the amino acids found in aspartame are not natural, and scientific studies also confirm that aspartame causes brain lesions, cancer, such as leukemia and lymphoma, memory loss, fetal deformities, and weight gain.
