Just Like Sugar - Australia

Philippines forbids the import and use of aspartame

A law promulgated by the Philippine congress has forbidden the importing and use, in the country, of aspartame, a sweetener that is between 180 to 200 times more potent than sugar, as well as banning distribution of four makes of saccharine, the most important brand names in the country known as: Equal, NutraSweet, Equal-Measure & Spoonful.[*] According to the said Law aspartame gives rise to a total of 75% of the negative effects reflected in consumers and other users according to the north American administration of food and alimentation, among others, brain tumours, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and diabetes among others. The ban affects all use of this product in any type of consumable and infringement will carry penalties that go from 9,000 euros to 90,000 euros.

Chicory Inulin
by Dr Tanya Zilberter

The best (and, some researchers believe, the only) example of a prebiotic is Chicory Inulin. Inulin is a "non-digestible oligosaccharide," which simply means that it is a carbohydrate that can not be digested. It can be - and is being - fermented in the lower parts of the intestinal tract.  As a result, the friendly intestinal microflora (bifidobacterium) grows better. (How we benefit from that friendly flora is another question and we'll discuss it next time; sign up to be notified.)
Inulin occurs naturally in large quantities in some of the most famous herbs, such as burdock root, dandelion root, elecampane root and Chicory Root.  It is soluble only in hot water unless freeze sprayed, which is why it traditionally been ingested in hot teas. It has a mildly sweet taste unless it is freeze sprayed and is filling, but, because it is not absorbed, it does not affect blood-sugar levels and contributes zero calories.

The directly registered effects of the prebiotic Chicory Inulin are:

• improved bowel functions mainly due to the increase of fecal bulk;
• improved bioavailability of minerals that, among other things, may contribute to a reduction in the risk of osteoporosis; improved fat metabolism: there is preliminary evidence of a triglyceride-reducing effect of Chicory Inulin; and
• possible reduction of the risk of colon cancer. A "synbiotic" approach combining Chicory Inulin and bifidobacteria was shown to be more effective than either the probiotic or the prebiotic alone.

The Ecosystem in Your Gut
Living in our intestines are a number of species: some are friendly (e.g., bifidobacterium, eubacterium and lactobacillus); some are hostile (e.g., clostridium, shigella, and veillonella); and some might be deadly.
A prebiotic (not probiotic) is "a non-digestible food ingredient that beneficially affects the host [you] by selectively stimulating the growth and/or the activity of one or a limited number of bacteria in the colon." (Am Clin Nutrit, 2001; 73:406S-409S.)
A probiotic brings external friendly bacteria into the gut's ecosystem, while a prebiotic stimulates the growth the potentially health-promoting microbes-insiders, thus modulating the composition of the natural ecosystem.

ASPARTAME MAKES YOU FATTER!

Position Statement from Sandra Cabot, M.D., I have been a medical doctor for 23 years and have clinical and research interests in the liver and metabolism. I have authored several best selling health books including the "Liver Cleansing Diet", "The Body Shaping Diet", "Don't Let Your Hormones Ruin Your Life", "Women's Health", "Menopause and Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy" and I lecture internationally on these subjects. I have been consulted by thousands of patients with weight problems, hormonal imbalances, fatty liver, sluggish metabolism and chronic ill health. I have been an advocate and practitioner of nutritional methods of healing for 30 years. I regularly appear on national television and broadcast on many radio stations to educate people about the importance of a healthy liver in achieving good health and weight control!

In the interests of public health I am making a position statement concerning the use of the artificial sweetener called aspartame and sold most commonly under the names of NutraSweet and Equal. One must ask, "why do millions of people ingest a toxic chemical like aspartame everyday"? To me it appears idiculous and I believe that it is because people have been brainwashed into thinking aspartame will keep their weight down and is good for health. It also shows me that we have lost touch with our own natural senses and instincts.

After having been consulted by thousands of overweight people suffering with problems concerning the liver and/or metabolism I can assure you that aspartame will not help you in any way, indeed it will help you to gain unwanted weight. This has been my experience, and there are logical reasons to explain the fattening and bloating effects of aspartame. When you ingest the toxic chemical aspartame it is absorbed from the intestines and passes immediately to the LIVER where it is taken inside the liver via the liver filter. The liver then breaks down or metabolizes aspartame to its toxic components - phenylalanine, aspartic acid and methanol. This process requires a lot of energy from the liver which means there will be less energy remaining in the liver cells. This means the liver cells will have less energy for fat burning and metabolism, which will result in fat storing. Excess fat may build up inside the liver cells causing "fatty liver" and when this starts to occur it is extremely difficult to lose weight. In my vast experience any time that you overload the liver you will increase the tendency to gain weight easily.

Aspartame also causes weight gain by other mechanisms ---Causes unstable blood sugar levels, which increases the appetite and causes cravings for sweets/sugar. Thus it is particularly toxic for those with diabetes or epilepsy. Causes fluid retention giving the body a puffy and bloated appearance. This makes people look fatter than they are and increases cellulite.

To discover more about the liver look up my web site - liverdoctor.com, and to learn more about natural sugars that are better for the liver and weight, read my books "The Liver Cleansing Diet" and "Boost Your Energy". To order see your book store, or call Ten Speed Press or call 1-888-75-Liver

This press release is being provided by Betty Martini, founder of Mission Possible International (770 242-2599). For press receiving this release who wish to interview Dr. Cabot they can contact Donna Medoff at 602-860-0456. She will only be in the US a few days longer and then she will be back in Australia.

This grants permission for those who wish to publish this statement or put it on web. We ask that it be also put in news groups to educate the public, and spread on other lists. Dr. Cabot's books are also on the DORway web site below my signature.

Thank you, Dr. Cabot.

Diabetic Information

Dear Betty Martini,   Luke has had diabetes since he was 18 months old.  With various Modalities, we have Luke now producing over 30% of his insulin base Off his C-Peptide blood test.  He is now 11 years old.  He loves Stevia, but when we were introduced to JUST LIKE SUGAR, it was good To know that we had an other natural sweetener that he could rotate Into his diet.   He loves the JUST LIKE SUGAR and uses it by sprinkling it on his Whole grain cereal, sweetens his herbal teas or his sparkling waters Making it into a healthy soda.  We use it to sweeten his plain soy Yogurts and on his whole grain sprouted bread as an alternative to Cereal in the morning.   We are food combining, organic vegans.  My son, Luke has never had Flesh, dairy, sugar or chemicals.  He maintains a 6.5 A1c and his Average Blood Glucose levels are 89 to 110.  He tests himself every 1 1/2 hours.  We monitor him very closely so that I can see which foods Respond with a high or low Glycemic Load. We have experimented Several times with his foods with and without JUST LIKE SUGAR.  There Is absolutely NO change in his sugar levels when he uses this Products.  Therefore, it has no carbohydrates and no Glycemic Index Number or load level.   In conclusion, anyone who believes that they are experiencing an Elevation in blood sugar while using this product has other issues. Perhaps if they have used aspartame or sucralose in the past, they Have already incurred cellular damage while using these deadly toxins That creates an influx in their BG levels.  Or, perhaps they are Consuming dairy that has a direct link to sugar levels.
