I like to avoid chemicals in foods as much as possible, but there are two chemicals in particular that I steer clear of. 951 and 950 are artificial sweeteners found in chewing gum, soft drink and diet foods. 951 is aspartame and 950 is acesulphame potassium. It’s been recently suggested that acesulphame potassium is even more dangerous than aspartame. There is no way I’m putting these chemicals into my body. I can’t stress enough how important is it to check the ingredient labels on foods!!
DORway.com is a non-profit organisation founded by David Oliver with a focus on spreading the word about the dangers of aspartame. Sadly David passed away in November of 2003. It’s fantastic to see his dedication and life’s mission is still alive with DORway.com and DORway.org.
I’ve provided a couple of links to flyers from DORway.com. The information is extensive and very informative, definitely worth a read. It includes information on the dangers of aspartame and what you can do to help spread the word and prevent the production of foodstuffs with the added chemical. I like Dave’s idea of sending the products back to the point of sale instead of throwing them out. What a great message to send. Let people know why you refuse to consume that product!
