Who doesn’t like sweetness? This
sweetness is available in fruit. The fruit without sweetness is known as the
vegetable which we cook with lots of herbs and spices. But man becomes excited
at the very sight of a fully ripe, sweet fruit. There is an unlimited variety
of fruit as well as mixtures of sugar available. The sugar we use every day
comes not from fruit but from the stem of a plant –the juicy sugarcane. Similar
form of sugar can be obtained from dates and beetroot– the chemical name is
‘sucrose’. The function of liver in human body is to convert it into glucose
and glycogen in order to store and use. The main / chief source of sugar in one’s
diet is carbohydrates which our liver can break up to form glucose. This is
supplied through our blood stream and used by every cell of our body. Generally
the glucose quantity in our blood is 80-120 mg percent.
Excess food / diet are deposited
in our body in form of fat. Diabetic patients have increased quantity of
glucose in their blood. There should be a balanced amount of glucose in our
blood; very low or very high quantity can lead to unconsciousness and there can
be danger of death too!
Every diabetic patient, every
person scared of diabetics or obesity as well as really obese people prefer to
use ‘sugar free’ sugar to get rid of their weight apprehension.
The pharmaceutical/medicine
industry hit upon Aspartame in their quest for a better tasting synthetic
sugar. It’s taste was almost like ordinary sugar in use. It was however
essential to test it on rats and other animals before it could be declared fit
for human consumption. These tests
proved disappointing, especially because its use led to damage to brain and
tumor formation in the body of experimental rats. Hence, American FDA did not
grant sanction for general use of Aspartame. This was at a time when FDA
verdict enjoyed / carried some reputation.
Today the food industry and
medicine industry control FDA totally. Anyway the result of endless research
was the same –Aspartame is dangerous and can lead to cancer and many other
diseases. FDA was adamant till the advent of Donald Rumsfield. He was the chief
of Searle Company that manufactured this synthetic substance.
He was in the team of American
President Ronald Reagen. As soon as he appeared on the scene, he sacked the FDA
chief and appointed his protege instead. The case pending for 16 years was
decided in one day when the American government. granted permission for general
use of Aspartame. Today this artificial sweetner is used in dozen different
kinds of soda and in thousand kinds of medicines.
One should not forget the Donald
Rumsfeld is the same man who was Defense Secretary in Geogre Bush regime from
2001-2006. He was the brain behind the war on Iraq to capture its oil wells and
have American military bases there. He had given green signal for destruction
of Baghdad museum, for inhuman torture of innocent prisoners and for the death
of 13 lakhs Iraqis as well as for rendering more than 50 lakhs of them
homeless. This 77 years old international criminal has rejoined pharmaceutical
company after retirement. A man guilty of upsetting American and international
well being and a threat to world peace is himself enjoying perfect
health !
We must know a bit more about
this sweet poison. The easiest way is to go to Google and type ‘aspartame
dangers’ and get unlimited information.
Nowadays another synthetic
poisonous product is becoming popular sweetner that is “sucralose” which is
being sold under several names and innocent people are being trapped into
buying and using it.
A natural calorie free natural
sweetner comes from a plant called Sativia. It poses no threat to health. Its
farming has commenced in India and is available in the market in small
measures. Firms like Coca-Cola, Pepsi are showing an interest in Sativia .
Meanwhile
the patient for aspartame is about to expire. A new “...tame” like product
shell replace aspartame. The rules have been so relaxed, That it will not be
mandatory to mention on a packing the “...tame” has been used. This is the most
shocking news of our times.
