Avoid Aspartame and Other Artificial Sweeteners

Apparently, even ants avoid aspartame

Since sugar is harmful to your health, the chemical industry has come up with artificial versions of sugar, which are probably even more harmful.  While there is some controversy regarding the safety of aspartame and other artificial sweeteners, many independent studies have shown these sugar substitutes to be harmful, especially in the long term.  One recent study of almost 60,000 woman found a 50% increased death risk from the regular consumption of aspartame, which can be considered a neurotoxin (harmful to your nervous system).  So instead of waiting for studies to prove its safety or danger, remember that your body will not like any unnatural substance.  We actually do not require sugar in our diet, so it goes without saying that we simply do not need fake sugar, either.
