THE RISKS OF SWEETENERS

Yesterday I posted on the WHO report warning of the risks of sweeteners and their link to Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, including Stevia which is used in mass produced “kombucha” drinks.

A few of you rightly point out the WHO itself isn’t to be trusted, least of all its determination to power grab and dictate to the world via its proposed pandemic response treaty, for which it’s trying to seek approval from 194 member states. But when the WHO reports on the safety of sweeteners - a contentious issue for many years - we listen…

We know, for example, that aspartame was pulled soon after it was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1974 due to evidence building up of harm to the brain, and was then reapproved in 1981 after defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld - and future Chief Executive of GD Searle, maker of aspartame - publicly stated that he would "call in his markers" to secure a licence.

The science on which aspartame was finally approved was described at the time as "biased, inconclusive, and incompetent", yet Ronald Reagan personally wrote an executive order overriding the FDA.

On this basis and the now known corruption post-Covid of the FDA and similar agencies within the EU - where steviol glucosides and erythritol were banned from use for many years before mysteriously being approved in 2017 - we take this report seriously.

From my own use of Stevia I can testify it isn’t condusive to all round good gut health due to gastrointestinal issues, thereby going against the core reason kombucha is sought in the first place - including to aid gut health!

Also, food testing and packaging safety are far less rigorous than for pharmaceutical drugs, or were until it was revealed a year ago in Pfizer's own trial data for the Covid jab - which it wanted to bury for 75 years - that it knowingly releases products with numerous side effects, including death.

The WHO confirms that kombucha variants sweetened with Stevia - not least sold in cans that scientific testing shows can leech chemical and aluminium residues - are risky to drink on an ongoing basis.

The public MUST be allowed to make fully informed choices, or health is lost.
