Aspartame Dangers
🧘Mental/Physical Health 🏋🏼♂️
When heated to 86 degrees F (body temp is 98.6) it releases free methanol that breaks down to formic acid and formaldehyde - a deadly neurotoxin.
The FDA refused to approve its use as it causes cancer and diabetes.
Donald Rumsfeld was CEO of Searle, the conglomerate that manufactured Aspartame. For 16 years approval was refused - until Rumsfeld got into the WH.
Starting to think sugar was demonised to get people to use artificial sweeteners.
Got this info from "The Fourth Reich" by Jim Marrs.
Interesting.
On the other hand there is also:
Proverbs 25:27 - "My son, eat honey because it is good, And the honeycomb which is sweet to your taste;"
Exodus 3:8 - "I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey"
So maybe there is a moderate amount which is best to eat.
I do remember seeing a blog reporting on a study which showed average protein, average fat and above average carb intake was associated with the lowest biomarkers of aging (among the biomarkers tested in the study).
Honey is a sweet treat, not something to fill up on.
Proverbs 25:16
Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

I am doing about 500 cal from raw honey each day. It is supposed to be good for healing from illness, especially if the gut is damaged. (I have Crohn's)
I wonder if what the verse means by "eat so much as is sufficient" isn't that we shouldn't eat beyond hunger.
It's the same lesson children learn if their parents let them eat all the candy they want on Halloween.
It is impossible to eat "too much" honey. It is extremely filling. If you try it, you will only eat a few tablespoons before you body says "nope."
