Non-nutritive
sweetener 160 - 220x sweeter than sugar.
Approved
for dry use/chewing gum/carbonated drinks in 1981/for general use in 1996.
Approved in over 100 countries/WHO/EC scientific Committee on Foods.
Found in
over 6000 products [puddings/frozen desserts/carbonated soft drinks (70% of
demand)/breath mints/vitamins/cold preparations]. Mostly combined with
sugar/saccharine/trend towards use as the sole sweetener in processed foods
(Pepsi/Coca-Cola).
In
slimmers, due to it’s low calorific value/in diabetics as it is claimed to
satisfy sugar cravings without affecting blood sugar levels/recommended by the
American Diabetic Association. Claimed be be free from any side-effects in the
majority of people (except PKU).
The history
of aspartame is extremely controversial.
It has been
extensively tested but still doubts remain as to its safety, or otherwise.
In the
Spring of 1971, the neuroscientist, Dr John Olney (whose work on the effects of Monosodium glutamate resulted in it
being removed from baby foods) informed GD Searle that his studies had revealed
that aspartic acid caused holes in the brains of baby mice. These results were
replicated by one of Searle’s own researchers in a similar study. GD Searle
tests were sloppy/inaccurate.
Aspartic
acid: 40% of weight of aspartame. It is claimed that reports of brain damage is
built on faulty premise that large amounts of aspartame leads to a build-up of
aspartic acid in the blood circulating to brain + kills nerve cells by over
stimulation. NutraSweet claim that due to the nature of the aspartic acid
transport system it doesn’t cause any neurotoxilogical effects as, it does not
cross the blood-brain barrier and therefore doesn’t accumulate in the brain.
Ketchner & Hollenbeck (1991) stated that, although this is normally true,
at high doses it can cross into the brain, where it acts as an excitatory
neurotransmitter and, potentially cause brain damage. High levels of aspartic
acid in its unbound form significantly raise blood plasma level of the
neurotransmitter, Aspartate. Excess levels of aspartame allow the influx of too
much calcium into the cells, which, in turn triggers excess free radicals that
kill the cells. Again, the point is made that some parts of the brain are not
protected by the blood-brain barrier.
Aspartame
has simiLAR characteristics as Glutamate (Monosodium Glutamate). Brain
Aspartam
can cause magnesium deficiency.
