Shock as Latest Miracle “Artificial Sweetener” Turns Out to be Just as Unhealthy as Every Other Version

This whole artificial sweetener thing is such a stupid scam. Your body registers it as a sweetener. All of this stuff is processed by your brain. I don’t know why this is confusing. I guess it’s simply that people are stupid.

Here’s what happens: even if it has zero calories, your body thinks it’s a sweetener, because it’s designed to make your body think that. So it raises your blood glucose levels, which leads to artery hardening, and it increases insulin resistance. The fact that it is zero calories is virtually irrelevant. There’s only 150 calories in a can of soda pop in the first place, and the problem (at least with habitual consumption) is that it’s pure sugar.

If you actually wanted some kind of chemical “solution” that would allow you to consume unlimited amounts of sugary food and not cause obesity, you would need some kind of neural manipulation drug that would tell your brain to just immediately turn sugars into feces, rather than storing them as fat. (Although such a drug would presumably be totally impossible, because telling your brain to tell your body to never produce any glucose would kill you, and figuring out how to regulate levels would be impossible, and you might as well just start selling soda pop with an insulin needle attached to it.)

You understand the basic nature of fat: this is your body storing calories for future use. If you are eating like an American eats, your brain assumes you are preparing for a long period where you will not have access to food. It is storing calories as fat cells for future use. This goes back to ancient times, when people would sometimes overeat, and put a bit of fat on their bodies, because they knew there was a period of no food coming in the future. As you age, your lipid turnover rate decreases, so you store more fat, because your body assumes you’re not going to be out hunting or fishing or collecting berries quite as much as a young person.

Bottom line: if you want the sugar, and you can’t resist it, just drink the normal soda pop. Ideally, you get one with cane sugar instead of corn syrup, because that is better. But these artificial sugars are much worse than sugar. Sugar doesn’t cause cancer or dementia, it just makes you fat, and the artificial sweeteners are going to make you fat anyway by telling your brain to build insulin resistance and raise blood glucose levels.

CNN:

Consuming a drink with erythritol — an artificial sweetener used to add bulk to stevia and monk fruit and to sweeten low-carb keto products — more than doubled the risk of blood clotting in 10 healthy people, according to a new pilot study.

Clots can break off blood vessels and travel to the heart, triggering a heart attack, or to the brain, triggering a stroke. Previous research has linked erythritol to a higher risk of stroke, heart attack and death.

“What is remarkable is that in every single subject, every measure of platelet responsiveness (clotting) went up following the erythritol ingestion,” said lead study author Dr. Stanley Hazen, director of the Center for Cardiovascular Diagnostics and Prevention at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute.

Consuming a drink with an equal amount of glucose, or sugar, did not affect blood platelet activity in another group of 10 people, said Hazen, who is also the Jan Bleeksma chair in vascular cell biology and atherosclerosis at the Cleveland Clinic.

“This is the first direct head-to-head comparison of the effects of ingesting glucose versus ingesting erythritol on multiple different measures of platelet function,” Hazen said. “Glucose doesn’t impact clotting, but erythritol does.”

This was already known about the previous “artificial sweeteners.” These things get a bad name, like aspartame, and then they release a new version that is basically the exact same thing and say “no but this one is the real magic chemical.”

I’m against all processed foods. I mean, if you want to hit up McDonald’s for breakfast or have a pizza once or twice a month, that won’t kill you, but in general, you want to keep that shit to a minimum if you want to be healthy and not fat.

Any of these “low fat” or “low calorie” alternatives just make things worse. If you want the soda, just drink the soda. Just don’t drink it every day.

You should really find something else to enjoy. Switch out the soda pop for coffee, tea, or vodka, for example.


What makes me angriest about this is that there is a war on smoking.

I’ve never said smoking was healthy. I might have said that, actually. There are health benefits. But while I do not accept that “nicotine causes cancer” (those are rat studies that you can look into – no human has ever gotten cancer from non-cigarette nicotine exclusively), I do accept that inhaling any kind of particulate matter into your lungs is probably not the best thing to do.

This has turned into this whole thing, where they say marijuana smoke is healthier than cigarette smoke, and that is just obvious bullshit. THC probably doesn’t cause cancer (I’ve seen no evidence that it does), but neither does nicotine. The issue is the inhaling of smoke, which contains particulate matter, into your lungs – and there is a whole helluva lot more particulate matter in weed than in cigarettes. Have you ever seen someone hit a bong? They go into coughing fits. Even when smoking a joint, people start coughing. They say it makes them higher, which I can probably accept as logical, but that is clearly not healthy. It would be the same thing if they were choking on smoking from burning wood. Smoke inhalation, of any kind, is probably not especially healthy, all things considered, and it could lead to tumor formation.

However: cigarettes are like the least unhealthy thing on the market.

I don’t do the vape thing anymore, unless I’m in some fascist hotel or a movie theater or something, because I don’t know what the hell that shit is. But normal cigarettes are a lot healthier than sugar or seed oils or soy or any of these processed foods.

Official studies show that 14% of smokers die from smoking. I don’t believe that at all. I think the number is way lower, because in America, mostly working class or poor people smoke, and those people are way more likely to experience continued exposure to industrial chemicals. There is no “cancer smoking” study that controls for exposure to industrial chemicals, meaning all of these studies are worthless, and I think you effectively have almost no chance of dying from smoking, because various other old age diseases will kill you first.

Regardless: even if it is 14%, that is so, so much healthier than being obese.

The war on smoking is like the “coronavirus vaccine” campaign. It’s a huge scam.

The question is: why are they so obsessed with smoking?
