Guest guest Posted July 24, 2000 Report Share Posted July 24, 2000 I use sweet and low; but PLEASE do not use aspartame. http://www.dorway.com/ http://www.holisticmed.net/aspartame/adverse.txt 277 pages of testamonials, I tried to print it out. http://www.noah.cuny.edu/pregnancy/march_of_dimes /birth_defects/pkuinfo.html You have to copy and paste this one in two parts. http://www.braintherapy.com/aspartame-msg/index.htm My 35 year old daughter's menstrual cycle went completely out of control and she bled for over six weeks straight, even through birth control pills until she gave up all use of aspartame. She was drinking diet soda and chewing sugarless gum. Now is back to " normal " . Peace and Joy, Gloria eating sweets I want to know the reasoning behind the " no artificial sweetner " restrictions. I DO use Sweet and Lo, and I have recently found some sugar-free candy that is sweetened with mannitol and sorbital. I haven't eaten any candy yet, because I want to know whether the yeast can feed off these sweeteners or not. Even when I DO plan to eat them, I plan not to eat more than one piece per day. On another list, the issue of not using artificial sweetners was addressed with the reply " Because they cause cancer " . Well, maybe they do, and maybe they don't.... but for now, I am working ONLY on the candida, and I'd like to handle jsut ONE problem at a time. So ALL I want to know is: can yeast feed off these artficial sweetners or not??? And how 'bout some references for the answer, if anyone has any. I'd like to see some research on it, if there is any.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2000 Report Share Posted July 24, 2000 My nutritionist said candida definitely feeds off artifical sweeteners. Also they damage the pancreas, and in many cases the pancreas is affected by candida. Steer well clear of them. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2000 Report Share Posted July 24, 2000 I don't have any references other than myself. I've found that artificial sweeteners make me crave sugar. Also, after detoxing my body, artificial sweeteners put my adrenal glands into overkill, causing an unpleasant " shakiness " throughout my body. I don't know how to describe it other than it feels like someone gave me an IV full of espresso! Personally, I have decided to stay away from artificial sweeteners. In Dr. Luc De Schepper's book called " Candida " he has a fairly strict diet, but even he says maple syrup (only), the most organic natural sweetener can be introduced into the diet after one month free of all sugars. He suggests you watch your reaction to it. If you still crave sweeteners, chances are your body is not free of yeast yet. Everybody is different and will need a different cleansing period.
