Aspartame Artificial Sweetener

Interesting news update today on Artificial Sweetener Aspartame. Many of us have heard conflicting news on using artificial sweeteners. Some say OK....some say it causes cancer. Who is right? I always put more trust in human research over animal research. And thats what we have here. Other research involved huge doses and animals. None of us take huge doses and none of us are animals.

The artificial sweetener aspartame does not increase the risk of cancer, says a U.S. National Cancer Institute study that included more than 500,000 American adults.

This new study included 340,045 men and 226,945 women, ages 50 to 69. Over five years of followup using aspartame. This report was shared with the American Association for Cancer Research yesterday.

Anti-aging TEA

Drinking Tea is healthy. In case you have missed the many reports out past year about the health benefits of tea......click here for just one that speaks of how good it can be. These Douglas Hospital researchers found that the regular consumption of either black or green tea may reduce age related problems like Alzheimer disease. This is a terrible disease and there hasen't been much one could do to combat it. So this report is significant.

This is the first study to show how helpful both black and green tea can be. Researchers were very impressed to observe tea extracts blocking death of brain neurons. And that is one of the terrible things about Alzheimers disease.....good brain cells dying.

Cell Phone Radiation researchers in Finland will now conduct a more advance testing of possible radiation damage to human skin. Previous testing found evidence of mobile phone radiation causing cell-level changes.

Cell Phone use has become so common now and some researchers suspect this has caused an increase in brain cancer. But this has never been proven. Lots of speculation. More research needed.
