Aspartame is a synthetic sweetener. The sweetener is derived from the two α- amino acids, L - aspartic acid - and L phenylalanine from which each a dipeptide are linked. Aspartame is the methyl ester of the dipeptide L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine.
Since its first authorization for placing on the market in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1974, aspartame has been the subject of controversy over its possible adverse effects on health. The public health agencies (including the FDA and EFSA ) confirmed its safety in use rates allowed to humans.
As a food additive, it is declared as E 951, the ADI is in the European Union 40 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. Aspartame is a widely used ingredient in many products such as soft drinks , candy, baked goods and dairy products.
Aspartame was discovered by accident in 1965 by James M. Schlatter, a chemist at the pharmaceutical company GD Searle & Company, of the synthesis of the peptide hormone gastrin worked.
Aspartame is a chiral , colorless, sweet-tasting, crystalline substance, which melts at 248-250 ° C and in water and most organic solvents is only slightly soluble. The isomeric L-aspartyl-D-phenylalanine methyl ester has a bitter taste
Aspartame is a widely used sweetener in many products such as baked goods and bakery glazes , breakfast cereals, chewing gum, dry mixes for beverages, instant coffee, soft drinks, tea and milk drinks, puddings, confectionery, dairy products and convenience food is used. Aspartame is under the trade name "Canderel", "Equal" and "NutraSweet" marketed.
Is Aspartame safe?
Aspartame has been declared safe for human consumption by the agencies of more than ninety countries, the FDA describes it as one of the most studied additives in history and says its security is more than confirmed. Still, there have been numerous hoaxes controversial and around.
Aspartame is the methylester of two natural amino acid, the aspartic acid and phenylalanine, which is hydrolyzed releasing both amino acid and methanol, which is oxidized to formaldehyde by alcohol dehydrogenase, present in many tissues. The presence of formaldehyde residues in many tissues demonstrates that hydrolysis does not occur, at least entirely, in the intestine, but is produced in tissues, releasing formaldehyde (or its oxidation product, formic acid) in them, as was demonstrated in the late nineties , the "Studio Barcelona".
Methanol is also toxic by itself, giving the fact that the maximum allowable intake of aspartame may release an amount of methanol above the permitted maximum daily dose for this alcohol. The intracellular effects of formaldehyde are stochastic but not cumulative, and rats was observed a deposition of toxic in all tissues studied (especially in the liver, the brain and the retina).
The doses used (corrected for basal metabolic rate) would correspond to about the contents of half a dozen cans of soda "light", although the official level of Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of 40 mg / kg body weight per day, established by the expert committee of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) is much higher. Also in 2005, the Italian scientist Morando Soffritti Ramazzini Foundation, rekindled the debate about the dangers of aspartame. After a 1800 study with rats for eight years, the research team he led in the Italian city of Bologna concluded that aspartame could impact cancer.
Aspartame is one of the most studied food additives, it is considered safe for human consumption in more than 90 countries, especially by safety agencies such as the European Food Safety Authority food safety, the JECFA of the WHO / FAO and the Food and Drug Administration.
Is Aspartame Bad for You?
Aspartame is an excitoneurotoxic carcinogenic drug. It is particularly dangerous as it contains three neutoxins: methanol, aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Also it breaks down into: Formic acid, Formaldehyde and Diketopiperazine.
Formic acid is used as a pesticide
Formaldehyde is an ingredient in embalming fluid
Diketopiperazine is a brain tumour agent
"...The fact that 320 aspartame fed rats developed six brain tumours by seventy-six weeks indicates an 'incredible and unprecedented' occurence"... Excitotoxins by Russell L Blaylock, MD
However, there is controversy concerning aspartame (and other chemical sweeteners), it is carcinogenic and may cause premature births. That is the conclusion of two recent studies conducted by the Environmental Health Network (RES).
According to the Ministry of Health Canada, the use of aspartame is safe for diabetics.
