FDA= Food and Death administration.I have known about this for yrs,nice to see someone is finaly talking about it.You can buy stevia on line.I switched to splenda and now finding out t might be just as bad acording to Dr Mercola.I saw an MRI of a persons brain that drank that crap in their sodas.There were visible holes all over the brain as if someone put drops of battery acid on it.

5 stars

I will stick with sugar.

Aspartame is poison. Google "Aspartame Donald Rumsfeld". Let's just say he made a lot of money in stock poisoning us. FDA requires expensive tests; patent must be obtained to recoup. Herbs can't be patented. I use Sweet Leaf Stevia packets and this is the only one I would trust. Cargill/Pepsi Cola marketing new product Truvia. Cargill is a leader of genetically modified food. Pepsi has "addicted" a population. I'd stay clear. Sweet Leaf Stevia the only one for me.

Aspertame was never really approved by the FDA. It was given a GRAS rating, not approval. GRAS (generally regarded as safe). So, that does not really mean it approved it.

Stevia can only be sold as a dietary supplement, NOT as a sweetener.... This is to protect the aspartame industry! Very recently though, the FDA has indicated it will no longer object if manufactures want to start using Stevia as a sweetener in their products. Coca Cola and Pepsi want to start using a Stevia-based sweetener because aspartame is no longer considered healthy by many informed consumers.

Hi LikaLaruku, All artificial sweeteners, including saccharine are, as the word says, not natural and therefore not healthy for you. Check out the gray text box right next to this video to learn more about healthy sugar substitutes.

I recal an aspartame-FDA issue on getting Stevia banned, The FDA had 3 Nutra Swwet or Weual members on it's board to get the natural sweetener banned in the US because it was competition. It started popping up in stores in 2008 though.

Isn't it saccharine that's supposed to cause brain cancer/advance stupidity? Am I screwed either way?

Hi yourmoment, No, I am NOT Mike Adams, who is actually called TheHealthRanger and has his own YouTube channel. I think Mike does a great job informing the public through naturalnewsdotcom. I also want to help people live healthier lives and do that through the use of health videos on YouTube. With regards to the so-called 'planned design' of the toxins in our food, please check out my favorite videos to learn more about who is behind this.

Health Ranger, Are you Mike Adams? If so, thank you for your work. The only problem I have had with anything you have said is that anyone that doesn't agree with you is a disinformation agent. Please! You're an intelligent guy and most of what you say I can verify, but not everything is a planned design to harm people. A lot of it is simply money driven, regulatory agents paid off in the name of massive profits, etc.

Hi TheKakuroMaster, Look on YouTube for: reverse cure diabetes and google: ravediet, mercola and naturalnews. There is so much great information out there but you will have to look for it! Your doctor won't give you this information because he/she is not trained in the curable effects of healthy foods. All conventional doctors are taught to do is give you medication to 'treat' your symptom. They don't deal with the cause of diseases.

Yeah, I understand fully what you are talking about. I have been suspicious about doctors and drugs since I regularly took antidepressants for depression and anxiety. The side and withdrawal effects from those drugs tore me up for over a year. A lot of the conventional wisdom is that Type 2 diabetes is chronic and progressive and I will eventually require insulin injections like Type 1s. But is this true? I will look into what you have suggested further.

oh, yeah! I recently found a website where a company is adverising diet soda drinks with stevia added. They are saying some of the same things about the sweetener like you are. I asked for some sample drinks to be sent. If I like it, I will definitely be ordering some more! Thanks!

Try stevia! It is a plant that can be ground up and used in place of sugar, but you use a lot less of it because its very sweet. Its safe for diabetics also.

I know. I hate MONSANTO!!! Boycott!!

This is just unreal to think the methods of population control through long term consumption of poisons in our foods. How can this be? Instead we hear about the OJ sentence on the NEWS...FDA=Fraudulent Diabolic Assassins! FUCK MONSANTO!

Hi TheKakuroMaster, Type 2 diabetes is actually reversible in about four weeks through proper nutrition and lifestyle changes! However, all your doctor will say is that diabetes can only be 'treated', since there is no cure. Really? Massive amounts of money are made 'treating' our modern day diseases with expensive drugs. Finding a 'main stream' cure is therefore a goal that will never be reached! Look on YouTube for: reverse beat diabetes To good health! HealthRanger7

I have recently been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and have been looking for substitutes for high fructose corn syrup. I read about the plethora of artificial sweeteners available for diabetics but really did not look into the controversy behind these substances. This was an eye-opener! I will definitely be looking into this further.

Great point!! You are so right, we are living through a holocaust now, people just can't see it.

FDA = Fraudulent Demonic Assholes Also, I personally take herbs and vitamins that are NOT fda approved. Everything approved by these animals have either killed people, almost killed people, or caused terminal illnesses that benefit the medical industry, and the cancer and disease research industry. No concentration camps needed. This type of genocide is their way of controlling the population without being so obvious like the holocaust.

aspartame & sodium fluoride = conspiracy

Hi gregstar1986, The food industry, the medical profession, the (main stream) media and governments tell us that aspartame is perfectly safe for human consumption. You need to realize however that all these institutions are controlled and run by very powerful interests. If you want to learn more about this deception check out my favorite videos.
