Type 2 diabetes and artificial sweeteners

Type 2 diabetes (onset in adults)

Refined carbohydrates/sugars are actually the biggest contributor to type 2 diabetes – that is, the type of diabetes that people develop later in life. The main factor in type 2 diabetes is consuming too many refined carbohydrates. Type 2 diabetes is one of the easiest things for your body to cure. Are you ready? It's that simple. Stop eating carbohydrates. It really is that simple. I have yet to meet anyone who was a type 2 diabetic who couldn't fully control their blood sugar levels without insulin just by cutting carbohydrates from their diet.

All artificial sweeteners are harmful to health. Like most things, it all starts out as a good idea. When NutraSweet was first invented, it was actually made from grapefruit peels. All studies were conducted with this sweetener. It went over brilliantly. Then DuPont bought the rights, examined them under a microscope and made them chemically in a laboratory because they were cheaper. But there was a problem: This new artificial sweetener is essentially formaldehyde. And at temperatures above 95 degrees (the human body is 98 degrees), the artificial sweetener actually converts into formaldehyde in the body. Formaldehyde is the chemical they use to rot dead people so they don't rot before they bury them.

Some people want to argue that it takes large amounts of artificial sweeteners to cause cancer in rats. And in the small amounts in which the sweetener is contained in foods, it is not harmful to humans. Here's what I have to say: I don't know about you, but I don't want to put anything in my body that causes cancer in any amount, big or small. If you live in the world we live in today, you are exposed to toxins that cause cancer. Wherever I can easily avoid getting additional toxins, I will.
