According to a UK documentary, “Sweet Misery,” the National Cancer Institute identified a significant and impressive increase in brain cancer starting in about 1984. Why did brain cancer shoot up? Evidence suggests that it is because of artificial sweeteners such as those found in diet drinks and food.
Scientists noticed that in 1983 humans began consuming something never before consumed by humans — aspartame, a chemically created substance acting as a sugar alternative used in diet drinks, food, and even on the table in most restaurants (i.e. NutraSweet, Crystallite, Equal).Increase in Aspartame, Increase in Brain Cancer
According to the documentary, in 1984, one year after its introduction, 6.9 million pounds of aspartame were consumed by Americans. In the next year, that number doubled. It continued increasing into the ’90s. This spike in Aspartame consumption parallels the spike in brain cancer.
From 1984-1987, other cancers outside the brain basically remained the same or declined. However, brain cancer rates shot up.
Scientists confirmed that the increase in brain cancers is not due to technological advancements that made diagnosing brain cancer easier and it is not a result of changes in disease classifications.
Why is it suggested that aspartame has this neurological effect?
Scientists think that it is because 10 percent of the chemical substance, after congestion, becomes free methyl alcohol (wood alcohol), which as one scientist in the film states, is a “real poison.” Another says, “the poisonous effect of methyl alcohol and its methyl esters are well-known.” Even small amounts of this poison can lead to blindness and death. The “miniscule” amounts in our common foods and drinks seem to sometimes lead to cancer and other neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis.
Bottom line — maybe it’s time to cut artificial sweeteners out of your diet!Watch the Documentary "Sweet Misery" here:

Conrad73: STEVIA,sweeter than Sugar,a Herb!
Absolutely Conrad!!!!I have some here at the house for friends who don't use sugar.
I use Turbinado sugar. It is a plant extract with 1/3 of the molasses removed.
I also use RAW Sugar, which has not been refined.
I am not diabetic and I use very little of this sugar also.
I really don't care for sweets, since removing white sugar from my diet.
I use Honey in recipes when baking, instead of sugar.

I went for a routine checkup last week and asked the Generalist (Medical Doctor) about artificial sweeteners. I told him I rarely use them but will when I have a coffee which of course isn't that often either.
He replied that studies showed they could be linked to cancer so it would be wiser not to use them.
Why take the chance

I totally agree. Artificial sweetners are dangerous. I personally think though that the increase in brain tumors is due to cell phones. We will see an epidemic in 10 years.

I believe there is much truth to what you have shared.
Thanks for sharing!
I believe the dangers in cell phone usage has produced much evidence already. It is especially dangerous for Teens and young adults.
I use my headset. It keeps the harmful brain cell destroying elements away from my head!

Mobile phone waves do not cause cancer , long story short the waves are too big to slip between your dna to cause a mutation

This is interesting, but not news. I gave up artificial sweeteners back in the late eighties when it was first suggested that they could cause cancer. I only ever used it in my tea then. Now I drink unsweetened tea and coffee.
I have always disliked soda drinks too, with sweeteners or otherwise, so I have never drunk them, and like you I use unrefined sugar or honey when necessary.
People should also be aware of hidden sugar or artificial sweeteners in processed and tinned foods.

Yes Tom, but the hidden sugar, not just artificial incidentally, is not only in "diet" foods. All processed foods lack natural flavour, so sugar AND salt is often added.

That's right, Jan, and Don't forget the RESTAURANTS!!! Sugar and MSG are the "secret ingredients" to keep you coming back for more!!!
