@Machabees Aspartame is synthesized from phenylalanine and aspartic acid, two natural compounds. It was originally made for treating ulcers (but the manufacturer was notorious for many failures). I think it is synthetic rather than organic.
I cut the consumption of aspartame upon watching Mask of Deception (Warning! The movie advocates the paleo abomination).
Aspartame is an artificial sweetener; which goes by the trade names Equal, NutraSweet, and AminoSweet. It is produced using GMO Bacterial strains of E coli, which means it, too, is a GMO.
1. - GMO's are NOT natural in the universe; they are a laboratory [freak] creation; there in NO ecology of a predator prey relationship; it is COMPLETELY foreign to the earth's ecology; therefore, it has the absolute unchecked possibility of destroying the entire chain of the ecosystem; a true and dangerous environmental pollution. (Where is the EPA?)
2. - As such, we humans are within the chain of the ecosystem, and in consequence, suffer under this [freak] pollution. What is worse to us, is when one ingests this foreign pollution, there is NO natural check in the body's immune system to eradicate it; hence, the legions of illnesses this GMO Aspartame causes to the body.
In other words, it is foreign to the natural processes of the body; therefore it takes over and dominates the host of the human organism; destroying its functions and ecology; to death.
Such is any type of GMO pollution in the environment; it dominates and destroys.
