Aspartame

The Hermesetas website says that Hermesetas Gold DOES contain a blend of ASPARTAME and something else!

So it issomething to weigh up when considering the question of just what products contain apartame.

Depends what kind of beer. I'm not a drinker so I wouldn't know but I think that beer that you see on commercials that's like "Have more for less" It might be called Molsen Canadian (Not sure). Well it shows the people with the kind of beer they're advertising with lots of beer and the other people with a tiny little mug thing.

Well anyway I think that that kind has aspartame cause they say it's 0 calorie. I don't know check the ingredients and stuff.

Aspartame is sold in the US as Nutrasweet and Equal.

Sweet N' Low is saccharine.

Splenda is sucralose.

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener and has no metabolic function in the body. It cannot make you tired since it does not burn any energy.

Absolutely YES!! Aspartame raises blood sugar levels. When blood sugar is too high, the pancreas releases insulin into the blood stream to regulate (lower) blood sugar. Blood sugar (glucose) plus insulin equals body fat. Raised blood sugar levels hinder weight loss and even cause weight gain.

Aspartame has many other side effects as well. It is made from a nasty combination of chemicals that should not be consumed by anyone who values their health. Many people who suffer from migraines find that they cease once they quit consuming aspartame and/or MSG.

There are 17 micromoles in 5.00mg of aspartame. 5.00mg has a molecular weight of 294.303 g/mol. Aspartame is composed of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen.

The chemical formula for aspartame is C14H18N2O5. The molar mass is 294.30 g mol−1.

There are 6.022 x 10 ^23 molecules in a mole

Why not? it tastes sweet and isn't bad for teeth and wont make people with diabetes go Hyperglycaemic.

If you are referring to the aspartame controversy which I am sure you are, Aspartame hasn't been proved to cause cancer in humans. while studies did find that there were increased cancer rates in rats fed aspartame, this doesn't mean It will cause cancer in humans. Dogs find chocolate poisonous, but humans eat chocolate in copious amounts without incident. so while aspartame may prove fatal to rats, humans can continue to enjoy the foul taste of the worlds most popular artificial sweeter.

No. The only additives allowed (in the UK- unsure in other countries) in baby food are Riboflavin (found in meat, eggs, vegetables etc) and Beta-Carotene (found in Fish, vegetables, milk products etc) both of which are not harmful but are actually helpful.

There are no advantages. The disadvantages are increased cancer risk, neuro-toxicity, and it leads to craving other carbohydrates.

ASPARTAME LAWSUITS ACCUSE MANY COMPANIES OF POISONING THE PUBLIC

By Roberta Bellon

National Justice League

06 April 2004

SACRAMENTO-- April 6th, Lawsuits were filed in three separate California courts against twelve companies who either produce or use the artificial sweetener aspartame as a sugar substitute in their products. The suits were filed in Shasta, Sonoma and Butte County, California.

The suits allege that the food companies committed fraud and breach of warranty by marketing products to the public such as diet Coke, diet Pepsi, sugar free gum, Flintstone's vitamins, yogurt and children's aspirin with the full knowledge that aspartame, the sweetener in them, is neurotoxic.

Aspartame is a drug masquerading as an additive. It interacts with other drugs, has a synergistic and additive effect with MSG, and is a chemical hyper-sensitization agent. As far back as 1970, Dr. John Olney founded the field of neuroscience called excitotoxicity when he did studies on aspartic acid, which makes up 40% of aspartame, and found it caused lesions in the brains of mice. He made world news on the aspartame/brain tumor connection in 1996. Dr. Ralph Walton, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry, Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine has written of the behavioral and psychiatric problems triggered by aspartame-caused depletion of serotonin.

Aspartame causes headache, memory loss, seizures, vision loss, coma and cancer. It worsens or mimics the symptoms of such diseases and conditions as fibromyalgia, MS, lupus, ADD, diabetes, Alzheimer's, chronic fatigue and depression.

Aspartame liberates free methyl alcohol. The resulting chronic methanol poisoning affects the dopamine system of the brain causing addiction. Methanol, or wood alcohol, constitutes one-third of the aspartame molecule and is classified as a severe metabolic poison and narcotic.

Recent news is full of reports of world-class athletes and other healthy consumers of aspartame suddenly dropping dead. Sudden death can occur from aspartame use because it damages the cardiac conduction system.

Dr. Woodrow Monte in the peer reviewed Journal of Applied Nutrition, Aspartame: Methanol and the Public Health, wrote: "When diet sodas and soft drinks, sweetened with aspartame, are used to replace fluid loss during exercise and physical exertion in hot climates, the intake of methanol can exceed 250 mg/day or 32 times the Environmental Protection Agency's recommended limit of consumption for this cumulative poison."

The effects of aspartame are documented by the FDA's own data. In 1995 the agency was forced, under the Freedom Of Information Act, to release a list of ninety-two aspartame symptoms reported by thousands of victims. This is only the tip of the iceberg. H. J. Roberts, MD, published the medical text "Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic" -- 1,000 pages of symptoms and diseases triggered by this neurotoxin including the sordid history of its approval.

Since its discovery in 1965, controversy has raged over the health risks associated with the sugar substitute. From laboratory testing of the chemical on rats, researchers have discovered that the drug induces brain tumors. On Sept 30, l980 the Board of Inquiry of the FDA concurred and denied the petition for approval. In 1981, the newly appointed FDA Commissioner, Arthur Hull Hayes, ignored the negative ruling and approved aspartame for dry goods. As recorded in the Congressional Record of 1985, then CEO of Searle Laboratories Donald Rumsfeld said that he would call in his markers to get aspartame approved. Rumsfeld was on President Reagan's transition team and a day after taking office appointed Hayes. No FDA Commissioner in the previous sixteen years had allowed Aspartame on the market.

In 1983, aspartame was approved for use in carbonated beverages. Today it is found in over 5000 foods, drinks and medicines.

Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, MD, author of "Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills" (http://www.russellblaylockmd.com) wrote about the relationship between aspartame and macular degeneration, diabetic blindness and glaucoma (all known to result from excitotoxin accumulation in the retina).

All of these neurodegenerative diseases are worsened by aspartame. In addition, we now have evidence that excitotoxins play a major role in exacerbation of MS and other demyelinating disorders including trigeminal neuraliga. Blaylock says that new studies show excitotoxins trigger significant elevation of free radicals in the lining (endothelial cells) of arteries, which means that aspartame will increase the incidence of heart attacks and strokes (atherosclerosis).

In original studies, aspartame has triggered brain, mammary, uterine, ovarian, testicular, thyroid and pancreatic tumors.

Defendants in the lawsuits include Coca-cola, PepsiCo, Bayer Corp., the Dannon Company, William Wrigley Jr. Company, ConAgra Foods, Wyeth, Inc., The NutraSweet Company, and Altria Corp. (parent company of Kraft Foods and Philip Morris).

Plaintiffs have asked for an injunction to stop companies from producing, manufacturing, processing, selling or using aspartame.

Plaintiffs in all three cases are seeking a jury trial.

No, acesulfame potassium is an entirely different molecular entity. However, many diet soft drinks that contain acesulfame potassium also contain aspartame as an artificial sweetener.

NO. Aspartame makes diabetic control more difficult. It can even cause diabetes in people who dont have it.

Regular Coca-Cola does not contain aspartame (Nutrasweet). Diet Coke and Coke Zero may, or the slightly sweeter non-nutritive sweetener sucralose (Splenda).

Most "regular" Coca-Cola sold in the USA uses high fructose corn syrup to sweeten it. Some Coca-Cola sold around Passover is sold with cane sugar instead of HFCS.

Pepsi One products and CocaCola make diet sodas that use splenda. However, these are still artificial sweetners. The only thing you can really do to get that carbonated buzz without the calories or sweetners is learn to drink calorie free seltzer water. It's not bad with a hint of lemon, lime or splash of juice (only adds a handful of calories).

Sucralose doesn't cause as many really scary things to happen to you like aspartame can. I used NutraSweet for 20 years in my coffee, which I drank too much of. In 2005, I quit it after reading some accounts of people undergoing symtpoms similar to mine that included:

Limb pain, sometime traveling quickly

Sore eye muscles with painful eye movement

vertigo

dizzy spells

sudden extreme momentary fatigue with urge to sleep NOW

amagingly tired left eye

sensation like a pimple in eye socket

swollen eyeball sensation

jerky eye movement

haziness

what I call "movie vision", like I could be talking to you face-to-face feeling like I'm actually watching a movie

All of these symptoms left me within a few months of stopping NutraSweet. Best decision of my life!

2.50 grams C14H18N2O5 (1 mole C14H18N2O5/294.304 grams)(18 moles H/1 mole C14H18N2O5)(6.022 X 1023/1 mole H)

= 9.21 X 1022 atoms of aspartame

aspartame is a sweetener used in place of sugar. Although it has not been proved, it is thought that aspartame, found in all diet drinks, is more harmful than sugar. It is thought that it upsets the metabolism.

Most likely the diet version does. It depends on the brand.

Is aspartame in pur via

Aspartame is a low cal sweetener used ion "diet" products. it is used because it is about 200 times sweeter than sugar. The FDA has made it one of the most widely tested products ever. it is unsure if it is safe or not but it is FDA approved. Supposedly it is to cause major side affects such as blindness, gastric problems, and respiratory problems. I hope this answers your question

According to the label on plain M&Ms, they do not contain aspartame. The ingredients are: Milk Chocolate (sugar, chocolate, cocoa butter, skim milk<milk fat, lactose, soy lecithin, salt, artificial flavors), sugar, cornstarch, less than 1%: corn syrup, dextrin, coloring (Blue 1 Lake, Red 40 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake, Blue 2), gum acacia. M&Ms candies may contain peanuts.

It could be used depending on what you are baking. A better substitute would be Stevia.
