You Can’t Fool Your Body—No Bull!
That’s right. Your body doesn’t decide if something is right for you it just reacts. It reacts to Red Bull as a poison and a whole regulatory process begins as soon as you drink it.
The one in question here contains aspartame. Commonly know as NutraSweet, it’s one of the worst things you could ever put in your body. Most of the other ingredients are rather bland, not bad, but it’s a weak formulation. It doesn’t matter if it’s mixed with good stuff though because consuming poison alone or together with nutrients doesn’t hide the fact that it’s a poison.
Aspartame has three main components—aspartic acid, methanol and phenylalanine. All three of them are associated with over stimulated brain cell death, chaotic hormonal shifts and can be a nerve poison. Stick around—it gets even better.
Step Right Up and Get Your Poison
It been proven that aspartame diet drinks that have been stored at 85 degrees or more for a week actually break down into other components. After a week it breaks down into formaldehyde, formic acid, and diketopiperazine, a chemical that can cause brain tumors. All three have been proven toxic to humans. Now that’s a mouthful!
It took sixteen years for aspartame to be approved for human consumption due to the high number of brain tumors in the lab animals they tested it on. Seems the only consistent thing aspartame had going for it was the brain tumors. You would think that would be enough to just keep it off the market. But, oh no, it gets better believe me.
If At First You Don’t Succeed—Offer Them A Job
The FDA is not entirely at fault, sort of. Turns out the FDA Board of Inquiry voted unanimously against approving aspartame for human consumption but the Commissioner of the FDA, Arthur Hull Hayes Jr. approved it anyway. Soon after he approved it for beverage use he quit and went to work for the company that made it—G.D. Searle & Company. Sometimes these things are purely coincidental. Sometimes.
A report in The New England Journal of Medicine shows a rise in brain cancer similar to the brain cancer in the studies of aspartame on lab animals. The national average rose 10%; in persons over 65 it was 60%. 60 Minutes, the CBS News program ran a story on a famous cancer clinic in New York City that made the same claim—there has been a 10% yearly increase in brain cancer since it hit the market.
The Truth Is Always Stranger Than Fiction
The very agency who overlooks the FDA, the National Institutes of Health, issued a warning in 1991 about aspartame toxicity that listed 167 adverse effects. The U.S. Air Force warns it’s pilots not to drink and fly—we’re talking aspartame, not alcohol. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services lists 88 documented symptoms of aspartame toxicity. Aspartame has been associated with birth defects, brain tumors, depression, mental retardation, CF syndrome, MS, Parkinsons, Alzheimer’s, dementia and epilepsy. Whoa!!!!! And it’s been approved as a sweetener. I’d love to see the ones they turn down.
You Can’t Fool Mother Nature—Homeostasis
We all have this wonderful regulatory system built in to keep us alive in the presence of immediate danger—homeostasis. As soon as something toxic enter our body it kicks in to neutralize it. It was working in the young gentleman who drank the aspartame sweetened Red Bull I mentioned in the video. If it wasn’t they probably would have been killed instead of just showing signs of advanced cardiovascular disease or stroke.
This amazing “Wisdom of the Body” kicks in with thousands of bio-chemical reactions to neutralize the toxins of that one drink and keep you alive. This system and it’s many reaction are dependent on nutrients and water to perform it’s functions and after a long period of poor eating habits it starts to break down and we all experience disease. If the young man ate something nutritious afterward the body would be mobilizing to return to health. The problem is the average person follows one poison with another and homeostasis is overwhelmed.
The key is avoiding known poisons in our diet and eating extremely well so this amazing system can handle the toxins we don’t know about that make their way into our body. All it takes is being conscious about what we consume and not falling prey to the mass marketing of synthetic food and goods that have taken hold of this country and ruined our health.

Dear Rodger,
Great information. I think this is where it’s at. Now if we can let it sink in, and think about what the food does before we put it in our mouth, we may not eat it.
Roger,
Great information! I’ve known about this for YEARS . . . but a lot of people need to hear this information. Pop is bad stuff . . . whether you drink the stuff full of high fructose corn syrup or an artificial chemical soup. I have been a “water person” for over 15 years and brought my whole family along on this healthy ride.
Roger, What a great article.Stopped drinking any type of pop more than two years ago. Your article really explains really good what the poison can do to the body.
Thanks for the article. I’ve became a water guy and love every minute of it.
hello roger . thank,s a lot of info you are gaving us . keep up the good work .

Hi Roger, great infirmation..Some people (or is it most people?)do not realise the long term effect these poisons can do to their bodies. Poisoned body = weaker body = weaker offspring.
Keep up the good information
Hey Folks,
I have to admit I was one of those people who actually believed the government was watching out for us and would never let something like this happen. I’ve gotten quite an education the past 20 years. I’ve watched how drug companies manipulate the media about health and learned how that system works to erode peoples confidence in natural alternatives. Maybe that’s a future article.
I also know their are some good people out there who are concerned and really do try to do what’s right. Countless scientist’s and doctors lost their jobs in the last 8 years doing the right thing—reporting about toxins in the environment, protesting the release of harmful drugs—bucking the party line because they do care about upholding the integrity of public trust.
I’ve always thought that a certain percentage of our human population will do anything for a buck and when they decide to go into medicine or research their decisions weigh heavily on a huge section of society—much more than if they were selling used cars. Sadly though, that’s where some of them should be.
Thanks for the info…I had an instinct it was all bad the first time my dear Mother made us a new, “healthier kool-aid”, back in 1960 something!!! Sal
Hi Roger – I just saw you talk this weekend at the Nikken event in Denver and was amazed! I could have listened to you for hours. I am discovering a passion for health and wellness and your information is fascinating!
I am currently 37, and when I was in my mid-20′s, I tried a higher-protein diet that suggested the use of Splenda (which at the time was not approved by the FDA in America). The diet absolutely discouraged the use of aspartame, but since the other approved alternatives just weren’t great, I used it – every day at almost every meal. I started noticing marked issues with my memory and cognitive functioning after about 3 months, and stopped the diet and most of the aspartame, and switched over to Splenda products when it was approved. Now I’m into actual real foods and wondering if you have a suggestion to cleanse the system of these chemicals – or if you even can cleanse the system.
Thanks Roger!
