• Sucralose; also known by the brand name Splenda, is made by treating sugar with chlorine. Animal tests have shown organ damage, growth problems, and a reduction in white blood cell count. These tests have been dismissed by the manufacturers as being inconclusive or insufficient. Hundreds of industry tests have shown the products safety. Ten of these were conducted on healthy human subjects, but no tests have been made on the effects of long-term consumption.

• Sorbitol, Manitol, Isomalt, Xylitol, Lactitol; sugar alcohols which may cause reactions in sensitive people, such as; flatulence, diarrhea, and organ damage if consumed in large amounts.

• Aspartame E951 (hold on to your hats); a widely used chemical cousin of MSG, also known as NutraSweet and Canderel. Once allegedly listed by the Pentagon as a biological warfare agent, and first tested on monkeys in 1967. Out of 7 fed aspartame, one died and 5 others suffered seizures. Later research at Washington University showed that one of the main constituents of Aspartame produced brain lesions in baby mice. In 1998 the University of Barcelona conducted experiments showing that Aspartame broke down in the body to form formaldehyde, (a neurotoxin), and further lab-tests at Arizona State university showed that when heated it broke down to form Methanol, another poison.

The most recent lab research at The University of Liverpool measured the toxic effect of Aspartame on nerve cells when it was combined with the widely used colour, Quinoline yellow (E104). Results showed that the combination of the additives had an effect 7 times greater than when tested independently. The additives prevented normal nerve cell growth and signaling. Hundreds of other experiments have been conducted over the years, and despite repeated health scares, research, commissions, reviews, reports and court hearings, Aspartame has found its way into thousands of products. There are over 90 documented symptoms associated with Aspartame including; headache, dizziness, balance problems, mood swings, sickness and diarrhea, seizures, vision disturbance and deterioration, rashes, tiredness, hypoglycemia (low blood sugars), depression, manic episodes, hyperactivity in children, brain tumors, memory loss, and death.
