Many people don’t even know where their pancreas is and only slightly few more really understand the work of this important gland, that is -until something goes wrong with it. The pancreas is pear-shaped, sitting sideways on the left side of the body tucked under the stomach. It is a vital member of the endocrine system, producing certain hormones such as insulin, somatostatin, and others – as well as an organ of the digestive system, releasing pancreatic enzymes for assistance in digestion. This is one part of the body you want to keep healthy, as the impairment of its functions can affect so many other aspects of life. The pancreas can be protected from possible ailments such as cancer and other dis-ease, most especially by eliminating one detrimental thing from the diet – aspartame.
That’s right, aspartame – as found in diet sodas and other ‘sugar-free’ foods – is a risk to not only the health of your pancreas, but the rest of the body as well. Tests have been conducted which show how aspartame damages the pancreas. It does so by inhibiting or negatively influencing both the digestive and endocrine aspects of the pancreas. In other words, it affects the pancreas’ ability to produce insulin and pancreatic enzymes.
The negative effects of aspartame are so far reaching that doctors are rarely able to identify the correlation of symptoms with the intake of aspartame, as the symptoms of aspartame poisoning can mimic so many other serious illnesses including diabetes. I read a recent article linking aspartame with symptoms of MS and lupus. Those who had been experiencing either MS or lupus for years suddenly had their symptoms disappear and healing start immediately upon quitting their intake of diet soda. From the blog (source below), an explanation was so clearly given as to why aspartame is so dangerous:
When the temperature of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants. The methanol toxicity mimics, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus.
This is the same reasoning behind many cases of diabetes and pancreatic cancer, unfortunately. According to the Aspartame Safety Network, this seemingly harmless sweetener has been named the cause of at least four different types of cancer – including that of the brain, breast, pancreas and uterus. Not only cancer, lupus and MS, but aspartame is implicated in cases of ADHD, Alzheimer’s, PMS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, ALS, Strokes, Diabetes, Epilepsy, Depression, Lyme’s disease, Mental illness and many more unidentifiable illnesses.
In order to protect your body from creating problems such as pancreatic cancer and many other dis-eases, a simple precaution to follow is to avoid one thing that seems to greatly contribute to the aggravation of so many problems – and that’s aspartame. Is it really so desirable that you would miss it in your life? There are so many more natural sweeteners available today that do not have dangerous side effects. There is really no reason to choose aspartame on purpose. The difficulty may be, in today’s market, to avoid it all together. So many products contain aspartame, and under so many other titles – such as Nutrasweet’, ‘Equal’ or ‘Spoonful’ that you really have to be aware of what you are buying.
The best chance you have in avoiding aspartame is to switch your diet to a more natural one. Allow fresh, organic fruits and vegetables to take the lead. Shop in the ‘health food’ section of your grocery store (nearly all of them have them these days) and avoid diet sodas, sugar-free labeled items and any foods that are ‘suspect.’
You will know almost immediately if the symptoms you have been experiencing are due to aspartame poisoning as soon as you stop consuming it. Aspartame is a neurotoxin, the body is being slowly poisoned. The relief you will experience from stopping the intake of poison should be fairly instant. Allow for a detoxification period following the removal of aspartame from your body. You may experience flu-like symptoms for a few days to a few weeks while you ‘unload’ the burden on the system aspartame has been.
One thing you can most assuredly do to protect yourself from pancreatic cancer and other dis-eases in the body is by avoiding aspartame and any aspartame-related products. Get them out of your kitchen and out of your life. You won’t be sorry and your pancreas will thank you – as will the rest of your body.

Hey There. I found your blog using msn. This is a really well written article. I’ll make sure to bookmark it and come back to read more of your useful info. Thanks for the post. I’ll definitely comeback.
Thanks for your article. It is unfortunate that over the last ten years, the travel industry has already been able to to deal with terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, bird flu, swine flu, as well as the first ever true global economic downturn. Through all of it the industry has really proven to be effective, resilient plus dynamic, discovering new methods to deal with hardship. There are always fresh difficulties and chance to which the industry must just as before adapt and answer.
Oh my goodness! an amazing article dude. Thank you Nevertheless I am experiencing situation with ur rss . Don’t know why Unable to subscribe to it. Is there anyone getting identical rss problem? Anyone who is aware of kindly respond. Thnkx
I can tell that you’re trying to avoid upsetting anyone with your post, but please remind yourself that the jucier opinions always promote healthy dialogue when argued respectfully..and this is your site not a democracy- allow your “take” be King here!
As a registered dietitian, I am extremely disappointed that this article spreads completely unfounded – and previously discredited — rumors about the effects of aspartame. The author makes no attempt to provide any balance in the article and instead chooses sources that have NO credibility with the scientific community. Millions of people have been consuming aspartame for decades and yet scientists have observed no negative health trends in the general population that could be attributed to this low calorie sweetener. In my work with the Calorie Control Council, I’ve looked at what highly credible sources like the Mayo Clinic have to say: “ … according to the National Cancer Institute and other health agencies, there’s no sound scientific evidence that any of the artificial sweeteners approved for use in the U.S. cause cancer or other serious health problems.” For more, go to: http://mayocl.in/12BilGf
The American Cancer Society and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society are also among health organizations that support the safety of aspartame.
I’m sorry but I have a problem with that presumption. Aspartame is composed of two amino acids which are commonly consumed and processed by the Liver.
Saying something like “water” is a neurotoxin is silly.
Claim: The artificial sweetener aspartame has been proved responsible for an epidemic of cancer, brain tumors, and multiple sclerosis. FALSE:
