doesn't matter whether it's new or not, it's true.

for years the food industry has used simple sugar to get people addicted to their food products. It can't be talked about enough.

Christmas candy
valentine's day candy
Halloween candy

Get them hooked early so you can make billions off of selling crap with sugar sprinkled on it.

sugar is the devil when it comes to nutrition ... it just is.

all these 800lb people on jerry springer don't exist without sugar spikes.

Brock is special

I don't care if my brain releases dopamine or not. That isn't why I eat it.

According to Lendon Smith, M.D. there is an enormous population suffering from side effects associated with aspartame, yet have no idea why drugs, supplements and herbs don’t relieve their symptoms. Then, there are users who don’t ‘appear’ to suffer immediate reactions at all. Even these individuals are susceptible to the long-term damage caused by excitatory amino acids, phenylalanine, methanol, and DKP.

Adverse reactions and side effects of aspartame include:

Eye
blindness in one or both eyes
decreased vision and/or other eye problems such as: blurring, bright flashes, squiggly lines, tunnel vision, decreased night vision
pain in one or both eyes
decreased tears
trouble with contact lenses
bulging eyes

Ear
tinnitus - ringing or buzzing sound
severe intolerance of noise
marked hearing impairment

Neurologic
epileptic seizures
headaches, migraines and (some severe)
dizziness, unsteadiness, both
confusion, memory loss, both
severe drowsiness and sleepiness
paresthesia or numbness of the limbs
severe slurring of speech
severe hyperactivity and restless legs
atypical facial pain
severe tremors

Psychological/Psychiatric
severe depression
irritability
aggression
anxiety
personality changes
insomnia
phobias

Chest
palpitations, tachycardia
shortness of breath
recent high blood pressure

Gastrointestinal
nausea
diarrhea, sometimes with blood in stools
abdominal pain
pain when swallowing

Skin and Allergies
itching without a rash
lip and mouth reactions
hives
aggravated respiratory allergies such as asthma

Endocrine and Metabolic
loss of control of diabetes
menstrual changes
marked thinning or loss of hair
marked weight loss
gradual weight gain
aggravated low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
severe PMS

Other
frequency of voiding and burning during urination
excessive thirst, fluid retention, leg swelling, and bloating
increased susceptibility to infection

Additional Symptoms of Aspartame Toxicity include the most critical symptoms of all
death
irreversible brain damage
birth defects, including mental reerunation
peptic ulcers
aspartame addiction and increased craving for sweets
hyperactivity in children
severe depression
aggressive behavior
suicidal tendencies

Aspartame may trigger, mimic, or cause the following illnesses:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Epstein-Barr
Post-Polio Syndrome
Lyme Disease
Grave’s Disease
Meniere’s Disease
Alzheimer’s Disease
ALS
Epilepsy
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
EMS
Hypothyroidism
Mercury sensitivity from Amalgam fillings
Fibromyalgia
Lupus
non-Hodgkins
Lymphoma
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)

These are not allergies or sensitivities, but diseases and disease syndromes. Aspartame poisoning is commonly misdiagnosed because aspartame symptoms mock textbook ‘disease’ symptoms, such as Grave’s Disease.

Aspartame changes the ratio of amino acids in the blood, blocking or lowering the levels of serotonin, tyrosine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and adrenaline. Therefore, it is typical that aspartame symptoms cannot be detected in lab tests and on x-rays. Textbook disorders and diseases may actually be a toxic load as a result of aspartame poisoning.

Way to miss the point.

The study isn't talking about naturally occurring sugars (i.e. in fruits). The entire broadcast targeted added sugars.

Cocaine over Meth it is!

This is like me saying "I like a glass of wine from time to time"

"You're only drinking it because of the alcohol".

:rolleyes:

The dopamine release from the reward system of your brain has zero effect on your perceived enjoyment and taste of the sugary food?

It is a flavor experience. That is all. You apparently experience a little sugar differently than I do.

No it's not. It's like saying the alcohol in the wine enhances your enjoyment of it while you are claiming the alcohol contained in the wine has zero effect upon your decision to drink and enjoy it.

lol ... just giving you shit

but you can't control it, dude ... you just can't

sugar triggers a chemical response in your body that tells your brain to "like it"

sugar
salt
fat

see how much you like food without these three things.

Kids love french fries because they cooked in fatty oil, have salt dumped on them and they dipped them into Ketchup, which has sugar in it.

The alcohol does have zero effect upon my decision to drink and enjoy it, outside of whatever flavor it adds.

If I want to get drunk, it isn't going to be on wine.

Alcoholic drinks generally taste nasty and wouldn't be consumed at all without the buzz.

Purple Passion? :D
