America loves artificial sweeteners even though the jury is still out regarding all the side effects and health dangers inherent with its use.. It seems that almost every day information is being released about the potential and grave dangers related to artificial sweeteners and our health.
The latest study that's just come to my attention is one that is features in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition regarding a Denmark study that shows that the use of artificial sweeteners during pregnancy may increase the incidence of pre-term labor, which is defined as labor before 37 weeks. (www.marchofdimes.com) Women who drink over one can of artificially sweetened pop are at risk.
The pregnancy complication may arise due to the metabolites of aspartame, acesulfame-K, saccharim and cyclamate; all of which are artificial sweeteners. DNA damage may also occur; it has been reported that saccharin may cause more problem than aspartame. (Corsi, Hector, August 25, 2010, "Artificial sweeteners may incrase the risk of pre-term delivery." http://www.technorati.com/, website)
Pregnancy is a time when a woman should try to stick to the care of her "whole" person and practive calmness is mind, spirit and body. Certainly, a woman should not attempt to drastically alter the diet, but the focus should be on natural foods with the elimination of as many unnatural and chemical additives in the diet as possible.

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
