Aspartame

[Guest guest]

One of the lists I help moderate had a aspartame debate heat up.

What little research I've done has led me to believe it is indeed

dangerous and I've tried to get my mother off of it to no avail.

Anyhow, I was reading that Methanol that breaks down into

formaldehyde in heat is stored in fat cells in the hips/thigh area

where I have the worst problem with my weight. I am losing weight

wonderfully all over except there which seems to be virtually

immune. For example in one month I lost 7 inches in my waist and

only 2 in my hips which need to lose the most. I am finally feeling

up to exercising but I worry that if my body is using the fat to keep

the toxins from overloading my system that it either won't work or I

will get sick.

So, thoughts on this? I believe someone first turned me onto the

fat storing toxins to protect the body on the Native Nutrition List so I

thought you all might have some ideas and opinions.

On Dr. Mercola's website he mentions an " antidote for

formaldehyde " , ethanol. Is this something a " natural " doctor should

be able to help with, you think?

I found little on the Weston A Price Foundation website. I know

part of the problem for me is insulin resistance caused by corn-

syrup intake and before that nutrasweet. I consumed disgusting

amounts of both growing up, starting with artificial sweeteners from

age 2 to 15, then I switched to corn syrup sodas but of course I was

probably consuming corn syrup in all the processed foods my

family ate from birth.
