Dietary Weapons of Mass Distraction (WMD) Written by Will Clower, Ph.D.
As hoards of low-carb proponents invade nutritional landscape, increasingly tired low-fat guard seems to be giving way before their steady march and drumbeat. This invasion is a preemptive strike to find and remove stockpiled food molecules that could be used to attack your health and explode your weight. Low-carb campaign hawks insist they really are out there, ready to be launched against us at any moment. We know where they are – stockpiled in bread, rice, and potatoes. International food observers are investigating suspicious links between axis-of-evil molecules and thin, healthy people of world. The French, for example, have flagrantly thumbed their noses at U.S. efforts once again by eating white bread baguettes twice per day, every day. Even worse, they steadfastly deny any relationship between daily carbs and weight or health problems. The Communist Chinese, ever a nettle for Western efforts, eat their high-carb rice every day, in blatant disregard of U.S. dietary resolutions. Opinion at home is far from unanimous, as shown by scientists in a recent Tufts University study directly comparing effectiveness of low-carb, low-fat, Weight Watchers, and Zone approaches. The question was simple. If done correctly, which theory actually works best to lower weight?

Are Diet Foods Healthy? Let us hear one major answer, after first asking another question.- How many so-called Diet Foods contain 'aspartame'? 4,000 , maybe 6,000, of food and drink items offered thru-out an average large grocery supermarket. Now, let us keep this little article 'dangerously sweet and low to point'. What is aspartame? Some know it by name of Equal, NutraSweet, Spoonfull, or another dozen or so, made up, safe and healthy sounding diet promoting superlatives. But here is what it really is made up of: 3 chemicals, and they are 'aspartic acid', 'phenylalanine', and 'methanol'. Thus, I would most definitely call it a Chemical Poison. Without great technical detail, it is by far most dangerous food additive placed in our grocery / food supply today. Aspartame causes over 70% of adverse reactions to food additives reported to U.S. FDA,- including headaches, siezures, nausea, numbness, depression, fatigue, hearing and vision loss, anxiety, breathing problems, memory loss, joint pain, and believe it or not, weight gain. Ha! But not funny at all. Some chronic illnesses that can be worsened or triggered by eating aspartame include: epilepsy, brain tumors, chronic fatigue syndrome, M.S., lymphoma, birth defects, fibromyalgia, Sjogren's Syndrome, diabetes, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's. The amino acids, aspartic acid, and phenylalanine, ingested in much quantity can cause serious problems alone. But what of ingredient 'methanol'?
