HOW TO DEFEAT DIABETES EVEN IF YOU HAVE A SWEET TOOTH

An overweight America may be fixated on fat and obsessed with
carbohydrates, but nutritionists say the real problem is much sweeter --
we're awash in sugar. Sugar is one of the main factors that
contribute to diabetes. With diabetes growing at an incredible rate
there are many different views on treating diabetes. In 2007 the
amount of sugar being consumed grew exponentially. Did you know
that the average American consumes 63 pounds of sugar a year? The
issue is not that we consume sugar, but it is the amount of sugar
we consume without even realizing it. For example a can of soda
contains 13 teaspoons of sugar. People have turned to artificial
sweeteners as an alternative to sugar.

Aspartame (NutraSweet) is produced from two amino acids, aspartic
acid and phenylalanine and is 180 times sweeter than sucrose. If
you are currently using aspartame please pay close attention to the
following. Studies have shown that Aspartame, an artificial
sweetener commonly put into processed foods and diet soft drinks is
a very dangerous chemical. Also known as NutraSweet, Equal, and
Spoonful(methanol) which coverts to formic acid
(formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants), which
in turn causes metabolic acidosis when heated above 86F.
The methanol toxicity mimics other conditions such as multiple
sclerosis, tinnitus and systemic lupus, especially among Diet Coke
and Diet Pepsi Drinkers.

If you are using ASPARTAME and you suffer
from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting pains, numbness in
your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint
pain, depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision,
or memory loss you probably have ASPARTAME DISEASE! Diet
Coke and Diet Pepsi, etc. ARE NOT DIET PRODUCTS! The Congressional
Record states that they make you crave carbohydrates and will make
you FAT. The formaldehyde found in aspartame is stored in your fat
cells, particularly in the hips and thighs.

The only reason that it continues to be promoted is
that the companies that have patented this drug have very deep
pockets. There are companies making literally millions of dollars
selling aspartame. There has been clinical studies that have
evidence that aspartame not only causes you to become fat but it
also responsible for a plague of neurological diseases. If you are
still not convinced by what I have mentioned PLEASE do some reading
and find out for yourself the implications of consuming this deadly
poison.

In my research I have found that there is one alternative that may
be step above all the rest. This is a NATURAL herb called
Stevia. Stevia is derived from a South American shrub (Stevia
rebaudiana).

A good quality leaf is estimated to be 300 times sweeter than cane
sugar, or sucrose. Also known as honey leaf and yerba dulce, stevia
is not absorbed through the digestive tract, and is therefore
non-caloric. This is a huge find for a person with diabetes. Stevia
is not only a natural substitute for sugar but it also carries
medicinal properties. Preliminary evidence suggests that it may
lower blood pressure, prevent or reverse diabetes and possess
anti-viral properties.
Many people ask me "why have I not heard of this before". The
answer although much to vast to cover in this article, attributes
many of these natural remedies not being told to the public due to
the monetization of big companies that focus on nothing but
maximizing profits.

I hope that you have found this information very valuable, this was
a key component for my husband on his way to living diabetes free.
