Beware of Artificial Sweeteners
The study says sweeteners induce the body to think it is about to get a rush of calories and when that does not happen, people are bound to get hungry and overeat.
Some of the low-fat culprits include breakfast bars, smoothies, salads and low-fat muffins.
So people who think low calorie means low-fat think again - you may actually be inviting flab.

similar levels of daily formaldehyde and formic acid, causes of birth defects, come from cigarettes, aspartame, and dark wines and liquors ----- folic acid protects most people "A smoker who goes through one pack a day will smoke 7,300 cigarettes a year, inhaling the equivalent of nearly 1 gram of formaldehyde (yikes!)." ----- That's about 2.5 mg daily formaldehyde intake for 20 cigarettes, over the 2 mg USA FDA alarm level for formaldehyde in average 2 liters daily drinking water, while a single 12 oz can of diet soda also results in about 2 mg formaldehyde toxic products in the body, including formic acid, a notorious cause of birth defects. ----- Dark wines and liquors usually supply even more methanol, which the body always turns into formaldehyde and formic acid -- the major cause of "morning after" hangovers. ----- High levels of folic acid, a safe, affordable vitamin in fruits and vegetables, largely prevents formaldehyde and formic acid toxicity in most people. |
