520 . ‡aTouted as the miracle solution for dieters with a sweet tooth, artificial sweeteners have taken over the food industry. But are they really safe? According to authors Dr. Joseph Mercola and Dr. Kendra Degen Pearsall, no. In Sweet Deception, they tell you how and why they think artificial sweeteners may contribute to our skyrocketing rates of cancer, obesity, diabetes and more, Youʼll see inside the motives of multinational corporations and the FDA as they promote these sweeteners as safe for consumption. Learn how to establish a healthy diet that includes real sweeteners and refuse to be manipulated by industries that care more about their bottom line than the health of you or your family. You see the little packets of artificial sweeteners laid out for you whenever you go to a restaurant. There they are in pink, blue and yellow-the friendly colors of baby clothes. Theyʼve been approved by the FDA and theyʼve been around for decades. Theyʼre in all your diet sodas and snacks. But thereʼs a nagging question at the back of your mind when you see them. Are these really safe?
520 . ‡aWeʼre seeing strokes, cancers, Alzheimerʼs and autism in record numbers and those numbers are climbing. It wasnʼnt always like this. Although not the only cause, artificial sweeteners are a contributing factor to these problems. They are completely unnatural, insufficiently tested for safety, unnecessary in the diet, and have a long history of causing health problems. They are powerful examples of the world of nutrition going crazy. Your body works best when it is given goods as they originally found in nature, as you distant ancestors ate them for many thousands of years-certainly long before a series of accidental chemical spills gifted us with the first artificial sweeteners. In reading this book, youʼll find yourself realizing the benefits of a healthy diet and even developing a distaste for these dangerous chemicals in your food and drinks. And after reading all of the information Drs. Mercola and Pearsall have to offer, youʼll find yourself agreeing that artificial sweeteners are to be avoided at all costs.
