Top 10 GMO Foods to Avoid
4. Aspartame
Although this is said to be an “artificial” sweetener, it starts off its life as genetically modified bacteria. It’s true! Aspartame starts off its life as GM bacteria (E.coli) which is kept well fed until it excretes a protein that has the aspartic amino acid that is needed to make aspartame. So, in essence, a part of aspartame is the poop from a GM organism. Yuck.
Numerous studies have found a dangerous link between the consumption of aspartame and the development of brain tumors. Aspartame breaks down into DKP in your stomach, which causes the growth of brain tumors.
Although many people with diabetes drink diet sodas that contain aspartame in hopes it will lower their blood sugar, it actually has been shown in studies to do the exact opposite. It also aggravates conditions related to diabetes such as neuropathy, cataracts, retinopathy, and gastro paresis. In fact, for some people it’s even been shown to cause seizures, which are often mistaken for insulin reactions.
