Title: Toxic Artificial Sweetener ‘Neotame’ May Be Lurking in Your Organic Food

Often marketed as Equal and Nutrasweet, aspartame is a well-known neurotoxic sweetener used in many food products.

This cancer-causing artificial sweetener is threatening the health of populations worldwide, and has even been found to be created using genetically modified bacteria.

While most individuals know about aspartame and its dangers, there is another, lesser known sweetener in the food supply that many people don’t know about – Neotame.

Neotame: An Unknown Artificial Sweetener Lurking in Your Food

Introduced by biotech giant Monsanto, Neotame was created as a new sweetener and flavor enhancer to be used in food products. On July 9, 2002, the United States Food and Drug Administration decided that Neotame’s safety and functionality made it available for consumption, thus resulting in its approval. What’s concerning is, while Neotame has a similar structure to aspartame, the chemicals used in its manufacturing process seem to make the sweetener even more toxic than aspartame.

Both aspartame and Neotame are made up of substances which metabolize into a highly toxic poison known as formaldehyde. In addition, they contain an exctiotoxic amino acid that agitates, thereby damaging nerves. Although very similar to aspartame in chemical structure, Neotame has one chemical added that aspartame does not possess – 3-dimethylbutyl, which just so happens to be on the Environmental Protection Agency’s most hazardous chemical list.

HolisticMed reports:

Neotame has similar structure to aspartame — except that, from it’s structure, appears to be even more toxic than aspartame. This potential increase in toxicity will make up for the fact that less will be used in diet drinks. Like aspartame, some of the concerns include gradual neurotoxic and immunotoxic damage from the combination of the formaldehyde metabolite (which is toxic at extremely low doses) and the excitotoxic amino acid.

The worst part? Even if you wanted to avoid this sweetener, you may find it impossible to do so. Not only are there no labeling rules for Neotame, but it is even included in the USDA certified organic food.

So what is the solution? If you are trying to avoid Neotame, the best thing to do is buy all organic items that have no or very little ingredients. The less ingredients, the less chance Neotame could be hiding out.

Given the history behind Monsanto and its other creations - Agent Orange, Roundup, and GMO crops – it seems quite clear that their Neotame is no exception for consumption.

Sadly, you now have to read labels and do research on so-called USDA Phony Organic foods.

This is, though, what I expected when Big Food, Big Pharma, and Monsatan lobbied for the FDA to establish an "Organic" label as they had gotten frightened of all these private non-profit Organic Labeling groups that actually had tough standards e.g., Oregon Tilth. The problem with tight impartial Organic Standards is that, well, er, uh, they can't be bought very easily as their reputation for reliability is the only thing that makes their labeling credible - they don't have a lot of guys with guns to force people to accept it, and there are still a lot of suckers who think the FDA is about food safety rather than suppressing competition to the "big boys". Competition is bad for business.Subscribe to *Agriculture-Environment*

I've been using Xylitol instead of sugar, and have been very please with the results. One source is Birch bark. It has many benefits for dental health and of course is great for diabetics.

If I am going to use a sweetener, other than pure cane sugar, I generally turn to Stevia which has no known side effects. Stevia is not as great a sweetener as some of the enthusiastic reviews suggested early on, but it is non-toxic so is an alternative.

Xylitol does have some side effects, gas for one.
