I-Aspartame, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-Nutra-Sweet noma i-E951 nje, iwukubala ushukela owenziwe ngamakhemikhali owatholwa e-Chicago ngo-1965 ngusokhemisi ovela enkampanini engaphansi komkhiqizi wezibulala-zinambuzane iMonsanto. I-Aspartame manje isitholakala "ekudlaleni" okungaphezu kuka-9000 futhi inesibopho sokwenza ubumnandi bokwenziwa kwamaswidi amaningi neminye imikhiqizo. Esikhathini esedlule, isithako esisebenzayo sasidayiswa ngokuphindaphindiwe yizinkampani ezihlukahlukene njengesengezo esingenabungozi, kodwa kusukela ngaleso sikhathi. Eminyakeni yamuva nje, kuye kwavela ucwaningo olwengeziwe olufakazele okuphambene ngokuphelele. Kulesi sihloko ungathola kahle ukuthi i-aspartame yenzani emzimbeni wethu nokuthi kungani kufanele uyigweme le nto.

Ubuthi bekhemikhali obunemiphumela emibi

Igama lekhemikhali le-aspartame lithi "L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester" futhi linamandla aphindwe izikhathi ezingu-200 kushukela. Ngaleso sikhathi, inkampani yaseMelika i-GD Searle & Co. yasungula inqubo lapho i-phenylalanine yakhiqizwa khona ngokushibhile kusetshenziswa amagciwane aguquliwe. Ekuqaleni, i-aspartame yayizophinde isetshenziswe yi-CIA njengesikhali sempi se-biochemical, kodwa isinqumo senziwa ngenxa yezizathu zenzuzo futhi lobu buthi butholakale bungena ezitolo ezinkulu (isizathu salokhu kwakuwubumnandi kanye nokukhiqizwa okungabizi).

Abantu abaningi badla imithamo emincane ye-aspartame nsuku zonke, kepha imiphumela ye-aspartame mibi. Ucwaningo oluhlukahlukene luye lwathola eminyakeni edlule ukuthi lobu buthi bamakhemikhali budala umonakalo omkhulu emzimbeni. Ilimaza i-DNA yeseli, inesibopho sokwakheka nokukhula kwamangqamuzana omdlavuza, ikhuthaza izifo ezingapheli, ukungezwani komzimba nezinto ezithile, i-Alzheimer's, ukucindezeleka, kubangela ukuphazamiseka kokujikeleza kwegazi, kuholela ekukhathaleni, isifo samathambo, kwenza buthaka inkumbulo yesikhashana neyesikhathi eside, njll. Kukhona abangaphezu kuka-92 izimpawu ezibhaliwe sezizonke zibangelwa i-aspartame.

Izinto ezi-3 zamakhemikhali eziyisisekelo zinesibopho semiphumela emibi

Lapho nje i-aspartame imuncwa umzimba, ihlukana ibe izinto eziyisisekelo ezinobuthi ezi-3 (phenylalanine, aspartic acid, methanol). I-Phenylalanine iguqulwa umzimba ibe yi-phenylpyruvic acid, ebangela ukukhula okuqinile nokungalingani kwengqondo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, okuqukethwe okuphezulu kwe-phenylalanine egazini kuholela ekwehleni kwezinga lomzimba we-serotonin.

I-Serotonin ibizwa ngokuthi "ihomoni yokuzizwa kahle" futhi ibalulekile enhlalakahleni yethu. Izinga eliphansi le-serotonin livezwa eqinisweni lokuthi ngokuvamile sisesimweni esibi, sikhathazekile noma sicindezelekile. Into yesibili eyisisekelo i-aspartic acid eyingozi. Ngemithamo ephezulu, i-aspartic acid idala ukuphazamiseka okukhulu okungapheli kwemizwa. Imvamisa, umgoqo wegazi-ubuchopho uvimbela amazinga eqile e-aspartame ebuchosheni. Kodwa-ke, ukuphuza ngokweqile nokudla kwansuku zonke kulayisha ngokweqile umgoqo wemvelo futhi kubangele ukulimala okukhulu kwe-neuronal. Into ecashile nge-aspartic acid yiqiniso lokuthi u-75% wamangqamuzana obuchopho asevele alimele ngaphambi kokuba kuvele izimpawu zomtholampilo zalesi sifo emzimbeni. Imiphumela kuba ukungezwa, isithuthwane, izinkinga zamahomoni, i-Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, hypoglycemia (ukwehla kukashukela egazini) nezinye izifo.

Into yesithathu ibizwa ngokuthi i-methanol, i-chemically methyl alcohol, futhi iyingozi okungenani njengabanduleli bayo. Ngisho nenani elincane le-methanol lilimaza wonke amangqamuzana ezinzwa, ikakhulukazi i-optic nerve namaseli obuchopho. I-Methanol nayo iphukile emzimbeni bese iguqulwa ibe yi-formaldehyde, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-formalin. I-Formalin iyi-neurotoxin elimaza ulwelwesi lwamafinyila, ibangele ukucasuka futhi, ngaphezu kwakho konke, isheshisa ukukhula kwamangqamuzana omdlavuza. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-formaldehyde ingabangela umdlavuza we-nasopharyngeal uma uhogela.

Iziphuzo ezibandayo zingamabhomu e-aspartame

Namuhla, i-aspartame itholakala ekudleni okuningi. Ikakhulukazi iziphuzo ezithambile noma kunalokho imikhiqizo elula igcwele i-aspartame. Ngakho-ke imikhiqizo efana ne-diecoke, i-lemonade nezinye iziphuzo ezilula kufanele igwenywe. I-Aspartame itholakala kuma-dessert amaningi, ama-confectionery, amaspredishithi, ujamu, izithelo ezisemathinini namagobolondo, imikhiqizo yobisi kanye neshungamu. Ekugcineni, akuthina esizuzayo ngobudedengu bethu, izigidigidi zezinkampani kuphela.

Izinkampani ezifana ne-Coca Cola ne-Co. azinasithakazelo empilweni yethu, kodwa emalini yethu kuphela, ngoba lezi zinkampani ziyizinkampani ezigxile ezimakethe zamasheya okufanele zihlale zincintisana. Yebo, le mikhiqizo kukhulunywa ngayo nathi ngokukhangisa okuhle nezifundo mbumbulu, kodwa iqiniso alikwazi ukushanelwa ngaphansi kwetafula. Abantu abaningi kakhulu manje sebazi ngobuthi obubodwa kanye nemikhonyovu yezinkampani futhi sebeqala ukuyiduba le mikhiqizo, ngempumelelo. Noma ubani okhipha lobu buthi ekudleni kwakhe kwansuku zonke uzozwa amandla empilo engeziwe kanye nokucaca kwengqondo ngemva kwesikhashana. Ukusebenza komzimba ngokwawo kuyathuthuka futhi inhlalakahle ikhula kakhulu. Ngalo mqondo hlala unempilo, ujabule futhi uphile ukuphila ngokuvumelana.
