Spencer Marron#15 Science February 1, 2018 Miracle fruit There is a plant called Synsepalum dulcificum and the berry that grows on it has the ability to turn acidic food into a sweetness that is unlike anything else. The berry contains a molecule called glycoprotein, and a carbohydrate chain called miraculin. When the berry is consumed, the fleshy part reacts with your taste buds.

“The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that consumers can safely enjoy a range of nutritive sweeteners and nonnutritive sweeteners (NNS) when consumed within an eating plan that is guided by current federal nutrition recommendations, such as the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Dietary Reference Intakes, as well as individual health goals and personal preference.” The intake of sugars is that by taking in carbohydrates as energy.

“In the face of an expanding epidemic of overweight and obesity, individuals have increasingly turned to artificially sweetened (AS) foods and beverages… in an attempt to lose weight, or control it” (Fowler et al. 2008). Because many artificial sweeteners have less calories in them than regular sweeteners (such as sugar and honey) do, people have turned to these products in order to help decrease their caloric intake.

My belief is that aspartame is not safe to use. The reason I believe aspartame is not safe is because it accounts for over 75 percent of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA. Many of these reactions are very serious, including seizures and death. Another reason I think the use of aspartame is unsafe is that diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, and brain tumors are a few chronic illnesses that can be triggered or worsened by ingesting of aspartame

Aspartame Controversy There has been much research and controversy about the chemical C14H18N205, aka aspartame. Even though a large amount of research has been done on aspartame, most people are unaware of the dangers. As consumers, it is important to educate ourselves on what the FDA is approving for human consumption. Aspartame is the most common and one of three alternative sweeteners in the United States which can be found in more than 6,000 products and is consumed by more than 200 million

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener that was found in the mid-1983, it was considered as a low-calorie sweeteners that could substitute sugars. Ralph G. Walton, Robert Hudak, and Ruth J. Green-Waite (1993) performed a study to find out whether patients with mood disorders are vulnerable to negative reactions of aspartame in “Adverse Reactions to Aspartame: Double-Blind Challenge in Patients from a Vulnerable Population”. Initially they recruited 40 participant for the study which included patients

Children should also be cautious of consuming aspartame since they typically consume more sweets and food per kg than adults do making it easy to go over the recommended daily limit. Most sweetened children’s products now boldly state reduced sugar, or [insert a number here] % less sugar, or sugar-free. Parents knowing that their children should be limited in their amounts of sugars readily grab these products to help in this task. Consequently, increasing the mg of aspartame being consumed per day

Sucanat is evaporated cane juice, which means that it is unprocessed. The lack of processing is the main way in which it is different from sugars like brown sugar or white refined sugar, which are almost always processed to some extent. The amount of processing that most different sugar types undergo will differ depending on the type of sugar, but the reason is to remove impurities. These impurities include molasses, which affects the flavor and color. Usually, highly processed sugar is lighter and
