What I meant is that Phenylalanine, one of the components of aspartame, is one of 20 amino acids used to form proteins encoded by DNA. It is found in most protein rich foods regardless of whether they are organic or not. Aspartic acid is a non-essential amino acid meaning that our bodies make it from other amino acids.
My personal opinion is that that there are a lot of myths that “health conscious” people believe concerning foods and the effects of small amounts of contaminants and preservatives. This is not to say that individuals should not try to improve the quality of their food intake only that sometimes one can be doing more harm and spending more money based on intentions rather than any real result.
Many people have been misled into taking high doses of Soy products which are very high in estrogen like chemicals which could be especially harmful to men and developing boys. Also ironically most vegetarian and health foods sold in stores are highly processed.
I just believe in a reasonable approach to living and have a distaste for the myth of some kind of pristine back to nature nutritional nirvana which has never existed. (At least not since the garden of Eden)It is amazing to me how quickly people, where nutrition and the environment are concerned, believe the most outrageous pernicious fictions and become such pain in the asses to everyone around them in the process. lol
Thank you for that info.
I really don’t have much faith in the “organic” marketing ruse either. But, as I said, I really think the ingredients in the food we eat are a prime source of our disease. (Of course, lack of exercise couldn’t be a problem,lol But that isn’t the subject). How organic can meat or vegetables be in the world in which we live? Sadly, we are captives to our diets. Aspertame is a tiny problem.
I really don’t think you would have to go back to the Garden Of Eden for a clean crop. As a kid, we debugged the garden manually, watered the same way. There are too many people that need to be fed to do that today.
