Pepsi has alcohol too?!

[Darth Ultor]

If this is true, they can go to jail for selling it to minors.

 

[GuestFellow]

whats wrong with it? http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/pr...r-pepsi-boycott-over-aborted-fetal-cell-lines

I'm glad you asked. First, where is this site getting is information from? No references...probably I'm not looking at the right section.

Besides, it is a site based on Judeo-Christian principles. Of course they will mention anything to do with abortions to add more flavour to the story.

It just gives details into the partership between Pepsi and Senomyx, a biotech company that uses aborted fetal cells in the research and development of artificial flavour enhancers

.

Right where's the evidence?

Look bro

Right bruv

if you think Pepsi and Coca Cola are gonna give their secret recipe's away on their official site, you live in cuckoo land. It's thanks to research like that posted in the links above that the general public can become aware of the things they put into our foods and drinks.

BWAHAHAHAHHAHA some research this is. You will do an excellent job at convincing the entire population whilst the select few like me shall forever remain in la la land. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Pepsi, coca cola, starbucks are capitalist companies, only things they do favour is money, money, money. If you trace the money it will not go to the companies itself, since the companies themselves are getting financied by the US banks and government. The money goes towards the military industrial complex of the US and their allies, mainly israel. So if you buy from these mass corporations, you are indirectly responsible for supporting the zionist cause.

from a pro-israeli site:

THESE COMPANIES SUPPORT ISRAEL


THE LIST…
1. The Chairman and CEO of STARBUCKS, Howard Schultz, is an active Zionist. In 1998 he was honored by the Jerusalem Fund of Aish HaTorah with ‘The Israel 50th Anniversary Friend of Zion Tribute Award’ for his services to the Zionist state in ‘playing a key role in promoting closealliance between the United States and Israel ‘. At a time when other businesses were desperately pulling out of
Israel, Starbucks decided to help Israel ‘s floundering economy and invest in Israel . It has been revealed that Starbucks still continues to support Israel by sponsoring fund raisers for Israel .

[Independent]

Murdoch News Corporation was one of three US companies that was lauded for their support of Israel at the America-Israel Friendship League Partners for Democracy Awards dinner (25th June 2001);Murdoch himself co-chaired the dinner. News Corp.’s digital technology company based in Jerusalem ,
called NDS, has grown from 20 to 600 employees in the past decade.

Are you aware of the severe damage to Murdoch's image and business interests by the phone hacking scandal in the UK? Do you know that as a result he has reduced power over News Corp and that his son, who was being groomed for succession, has been forced to step down from various positions?

How does this fit with Murdoch being one of the Illuminati? He has been destroyed by the media, yet he is supposed to control the media.

 

[Jedi_Mindset]

Yeah yeah what has this got to do with Pepsi, alcohol and aborted babies? Your the one who is making these claims, posting absolute crap and expect others to believe you within a matter of seconds? BWAHAHAHA

Yes, actually it does, i want to show you that companies are very corrupt. But ok bro, you challenge me, prepare for your defeat. you are surely one of the brainwashed types of mainstream media who is amused by these 'happy-tricky' commercials of pepsi et cetera.

Pepsi, one of the ingredients: Aspartame. What does aspartame?

Aspartame is, by Far, the Most Dangerous Substance on the Market that is Added To Foods


Aspartame is the technical name for the brand names NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure. It was discovered by accident in 1965 when James Schlatter, a chemist of G.D. Searle Company, was testing an anti-ulcer drug.

Aspartame was approved for dry goods in 1981 and for carbonated beverages in 1983. It was originally approved for dry goods on July 26, 1974, but objections filed by neuroscience researcher Dr John W. Olney and Consumer attorney James Turner in August 1974 as well as investigations of G.D. Searle's research practices caused the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to put approval of aspartame on hold (December 5, 1974). In 1985, Monsanto purchased G.D. Searle and made Searle Pharmaceuticals and The NutraSweet Company separate subsidiaries.
Aspartame 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. A few of the 90 different documented symptoms listed in the report as being caused by aspartame include: Headaches/migraines, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, depression, fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision problems, hearing loss, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain.
According to researchers and physicians studying the adverse effects of aspartame, the following chronic illnesses can be triggered or worsened by ingesting of aspartame: Brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, parkinson's disease, alzheimer's, mental retardation, lymphoma, birth defects, fibromyalgia, and diabetes.
Aspartame is made up of three chemicals: aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol. The book "Prescription for Nutritional Healing," by James and Phyllis Balch, lists aspartame under the category of "chemical poison." As you shall see, that is exactly what it is.
​

What Is Aspartame Made Of?

Aspartic Acid (40 percent of Aspartame)

Dr. Russell L. Blaylock, a professor of neurosurgery at the Medical University of Mississippi, recently published a book thoroughly detailing the damage that is caused by the ingestion of excessive aspartic acid from aspartame. Blaylock makes use of almost 500 scientific references to show how excess free excitatory amino acids such as aspartic acid and glutamic acid (about 99 percent of monosodium glutamate (MSG) is glutamic acid) in our food supply are causing serious chronic neurological disorders and a myriad of other acute symptoms.
​

How Aspartate (and Glutamate) Cause Damage

Aspartate and glutamate act as neurotransmitters in the brain by facilitating the transmission of information from neuron to neuron. Too much aspartate or glutamate in the brain kills certain neurons by allowing the influx of too much calcium into the cells. This influx triggers excessive amounts of free radicals, which kill the cells. The neural cell damage that can be caused by excessive aspartate and glutamate is why they are referred to as "excitotoxins." They "excite" or stimulate the neural cells to death.

Aspartic acid is an amino acid. Taken in its free form (unbound to proteins) it significantly raises the blood plasma level of aspartate and glutamate. The excess aspartate and glutamate in the blood plasma shortly after ingesting aspartame or products with free glutamic acid (glutamate precursor) leads to a high level of those neurotransmitters in certain areas of the brain.
The blood brain barrier (BBB), which normally protects the brain from excess glutamate and aspartate as well as toxins, 1) is not fully developed during childhood, 2) does not fully protect all areas of the brain, 3) is damaged by numerous chronic and acute conditions, and 4) allows seepage of excess glutamate and aspartate into the brain even when intact.
The excess glutamate and aspartate slowly begin to destroy neurons. The large majority (75 percent or more) of neural cells in a particular area of the brain are killed before any clinical symptoms of a chronic illness are noticed. A few of the many chronic illnesses that have been shown to be contributed to by long-term exposure to excitatory amino acid damage include:
​

[TABLE="width: 500"]

• Multiple sclerosis (MS)
• ALS
• Memory loss
• Hormonal problems
• Hearing loss
• Epilepsy
• Alzheimer's disease

[/TD]
[TD]

• Parkinson's disease
• Hypoglycemia
• AIDS
• Dementia
• Brain lesions
• Neuroendocrine disorders

[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

The risk to infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly and persons with certain chronic health problems from excitotoxins are great. Even the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), which usually understates problems and mimics the FDA party-line, recently stated in a review that:
"It is prudent to avoid the use of dietary supplements of L-glutamic acid by pregnant women, infants, and children. The existence of evidence of potential endocrine responses, i.e., elevated cortisol and prolactin, and differential responses between males and females, would also suggest a neuroendocrine link and that supplemental L-glutamic acid should be avoided by women of childbearing age and individuals with affective disorders."
Aspartic acid from aspartame has the same deleterious effects on the body as glutamic acid.
The exact mechanism of acute reactions to excess free glutamate and aspartate is currently being debated. As reported to the FDA, those reactions include:

​

• • Headaches/migraines
  • Nausea
  • Abdominal pains
  • Fatigue (blocks sufficient glucose entry into brain)
  • Sleep problems
  • Vision problems
  • Anxiety attacks
  • Depression
  • Asthma/chest tigShtness.

One common complaint of persons suffering from the effect of aspartame is memory loss. Ironically, in 1987, G.D. Searle, the manufacturer of aspartame, undertook a search for a drug to combat memory loss caused by excitatory amino acid damage. Blaylock is one of many scientists and physicians who are concerned about excitatory amino acid damage caused by ingestion of aspartame and MSG.
A few of the many experts who have spoken out against the damage being caused by aspartate and glutamate include Adrienne Samuels, Ph.D., an experimental psychologist specializing in research design. Another is Olney, a professor in the department of psychiatry, School of Medicine, Washington University, a neuroscientist and researcher, and one of the world's foremost authorities on excitotoxins. (He informed Searle in 1971 that aspartic acid caused holes in the brains of mice.)
​

Phenylalanine (50 percent of aspartame)

Phenylalanine is an amino acid normally found in the brain. Persons with the genetic disorder phenylketonuria (PKU) cannot metabolize phenylalanine. This leads to dangerously high levels of phenylalanine in the brain (sometimes lethal). It has been shown that ingesting aspartame, especially along with carbohydrates, can lead to excess levels of phenylalanine in the brain even in persons who do not have PKU.
This is not just a theory, as many people who have eaten large amounts of aspartame over a long period of time and do not have PKU have been shown to have excessive levels of phenylalanine in the blood. Excessive levels of phenylalanine in the brain can cause the levels of seratonin in the brain to decrease, leading to emotional disorders such as depression. It was shown in human testing that phenylalanine levels of the blood were increased significantly in human subjects who chronically used aspartame.
Even a single use of aspartame raised the blood phenylalanine levels. In his testimony before the U.S. Congress, Dr. Louis J. Elsas showed that high blood phenylalanine can be concentrated in parts of the brain and is especially dangerous for infants and fetuses. He also showed that phenylalanine is metabolised much more effeciently by rodents than by humans.
One account of a case of extremely high phenylalanine levels caused by aspartame was recently published the "Wednesday Journal" in an article titled "An Aspartame Nightmare." John Cook began drinking six to eight diet drinks every day. His symptoms started out as memory loss and frequent headaches. He began to crave more aspartame-sweetened drinks. His condition deteriorated so much that he experienced wide mood swings and violent rages. Even though he did not suffer from PKU, a blood test revealed a phenylalanine level of 80 mg/dl. He also showed abnormal brain function and brain damage. After he kicked his aspartame habit, his symptoms improved dramatically.
As Blaylock points out in his book, early studies measuring phenylalanine buildup in the brain were flawed. Investigators who measured specific brain regions and not the average throughout the brain notice significant rises in phenylalanine levels. Specifically the hypothalamus, medulla oblongata, and corpus striatum areas of the brain had the largest increases in phenylalanine. Blaylock goes on to point out that excessive buildup of phenylalanine in the brain can cause schizophrenia or make one more susceptible to seizures.
Therefore, long-term, excessive use of aspartame may provid a boost to sales of seratonin reuptake inhibitors such as Prozac and drugs to control schizophrenia and seizures.
​

Methanol (aka wood alcohol/poison) (10 percent of aspartame)

Methanol/wood alcohol is a deadly poison. Some people may remember methanol as the poison that has caused some "skid row" alcoholics to end up blind or dead. Methanol is gradually released in the small intestine when the methyl group of aspartame encounter the enzyme chymotrypsin.
The absorption of methanol into the body is sped up considerably when free methanol is ingested. Free methanol is created from aspartame when it is heated to above 86 Fahrenheit (30 Centigrade). This would occur when aspartame-containing product is improperly stored or when it is heated (e.g., as part of a "food" product such as Jello).

Methanol breaks down into formic acid and formaldehyde in the body. Formaldehyde is a deadly neurotoxin. An EPA assessment of methanol states that methanol "is considered a cumulative poison due to the low rate of excretion once it is absorbed. In the body, methanol is oxidized to formaldehyde and formic acid; both of these metabolites are toxic." They recommend a limit of consumption of 7.8 mg/day. A one-liter (approx. 1 quart) aspartame-sweetened beverage contains about 56 mg of methanol. Heavy users of aspartame-containing products consume as much as 250 mg of methanol daily or 32 times the EPA limit.
Symptoms from methanol poisoning include headaches, ear buzzing, dizziness, nausea, gastrointestinal disturbances, weakness, vertigo, chills, memory lapses, numbness and shooting pains in the extremities, behavioral disturbances, and neuritis. The most well known problems from methanol poisoning are vision problems including misty vision, progressive contraction of visual fields, blurring of vision, obscuration of vision, retinal damage, and blindness. Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen, causes retinal damage, interferes with DNA replication and causes birth defects.
Due to the lack of a couple of key enzymes, humans are many times more sensitive to the toxic effects of methanol than animals. Therefore, tests of aspartame or methanol on animals do not accurately reflect the danger for humans. As pointed out by Dr. Woodrow C. Monte, director of the food science and nutrition laboratory at Arizona State University, "There are no human or mammalian studies to evaluate the possible mutagenic, teratogenic or carcinogenic effects of chronic administration of methyl alcohol."
He was so concerned about the unresolved safety issues that he filed suit with the FDA requesting a hearing to address these issues. He asked the FDA to "slow down on this soft drink issue long enough to answer some of the important questions. It's not fair that you are leaving the full burden of proof on the few of us who are concerned and have such limited resources. You must remember that you are the American public's last defense. Once you allow usage (of aspartame) there is literally nothing I or my colleagues can do to reverse the course. Aspartame will then join saccharin, the sulfiting agents, and God knows how many other questionable compounds enjoined to insult the human constitution with governmental approval." Shortly thereafter, the Commissioner of the FDA, Arthur Hull Hayes, Jr., approved the use of aspartame in carbonated beverages, he then left for a position with G.D. Searle's public relations firm.
It has been pointed out that some fruit juices and alcoholic beverages contain small amounts of methanol. It is important to remember, however, that methanol never appears alone. In every case, ethanol is present, usually in much higher amounts. Ethanol is an antidote for methanol toxicity in humans. The troops of Desert Storm were "treated" to large amounts of aspartame-sweetened beverages, which had been heated to over 86 degrees F in the Saudi Arabian sun. Many of them returned home with numerous disorders similar to what has been seen in persons who have been chemically poisoned by formaldehyde. The free methanol in the beverages may have been a contributing factor in these illnesses. Other breakdown products of aspartame such as DKP (discussed below) may also have been a factor.
In a 1993 act that can only be described as "unconscionable," the FDA approved aspartame as an ingredient in numerous food items that would always be heated to above 86 degree F (30 degree C).
​

Diketopiperazine (DKP)

DKP is a byproduct of aspartame metabolism. DKP has been implicated in the occurrence of brain tumors. Olney noticed that DKP, when nitrosated in the gut, produced a compound that was similar to N-nitrosourea, a powerful brain tumor causing chemical. Some authors have said that DKP is produced after aspartame ingestion. I am not sure if that is correct. It is definitely true that DKP is formed in liquid aspartame-containing products during prolonged storage.
G.D. Searle conducted animal experiments on the safety of DKP. The FDA found numerous experimental errors occurred, including "clerical errors, mixed-up animals, animals not getting drugs they were supposed to get, pathological specimens lost because of improper handling," and many other errors. These sloppy laboratory procedures may explain why both the test and control animals had sixteen times more brain tumors than would be expected in experiments of this length.
In an ironic twist, shortly after these experimental errors were discovered, the FDA used guidelines recommended by G.D. Searle to develop the industry-wide FDA standards for good laboratory practices.
DKP has also been implicated as a cause of uterine polyps and changes in blood cholesterol by FDA Toxicologist Dr. Jacqueline Verrett in her testimony before the U.S. Senate.

And Btw guestfellow, where are your sources? you tell me that i post sources, claims. These are actually sources from chemists, medical workers. And they have agreed that aspartame is by far most the most dangerous drug added in beverages.


You challenged me, but where are your sources?

While I don't think this is true I stay away from all cokes. I used to drink it everyday, maybe 3-4 cans a day. I started having heart problems from it so I stopped,my heart does not give out on me anymore and lost 10 pounds in the process.

First of all, I don't think bro Jedi_mindset or anyone here is posting to convince anybody, nor do they expect anyone to believe it. If you all don't want to believe what you are being told on this thread then hey, there's no compulsion. It would be YOUR OWN duty to dig further and refute it or understand it on your own. Nobody should have to spoon feed you.

I'd like the naysayers and those pointing fingers to come here and tell us why pepsi, colas or any processed food is good for your health. Should you all really wait for alcohol to be present in food in order for you to question what ur putting in your mouth? Half the ingredients in these things are unpronounceable, I mean really. Is it that difficult to discern what is good and what is bad for us? Our bodies have a right over us, and they will speak for us on judgement day.

[Futuwwa]

Your comment is quite funny, if you think pepsi is healthy, why does it clear rust?

Because it is very slightly acidic. Anything that is even the tiniest bit acidic clears rust, given a long enough time.

If you think Pepsi is unhealthy, why exactly is drinking something slightly acidic unhealthy?

 

[Jedi_Mindset]

Because it is very slightly acidic. Anything that is even the tiniest bit acidic clears rust, given a long enough time.

If you think Pepsi is unhealthy, why exactly is drinking something slightly acidic unhealthy?

Have you perhaps read my other posts to understand my point? Especially about the aspartame issue. Pepsi is not slightly acidic, its basically acid. But as long you dont wake up and fall in the traps of those capitalist companies, i wont explain to you. People should learn to read whole topics before jumping on one post. I have explained this matter the previous page. Caffeine and sugar in pepsi are acidic too.

And where exactly goes the border between "slightly acidic" and "basically acid"? ^o) How have you determined that Pepsi is in the one and not the other?

But as long you dont wake up and fall in the traps of those capitalist companies, i wont explain to you.

So you know that you're right and I'm wrong, but you won't explain how until I concede that it is indeed so?

Sorry, that's not how discourse works.

Sugar is acidic and so does cafeine - both ingredients in pepsi, with much amount and very unhealthy. The most deadly acid and chemical in pepsi is Aspartame, perhaps u should read the article i posted one page back, its from medical sources and not from some dude in the forest. Caffeine is addictive, hence you will start to drink more.

This goes also in the same case as with coca cola. Here just a few weeks ago someone died from drinking too much pepsi, cola et cetera it was on the local news. You are only harming your body with it.

Its best for a muslim to stay away from such drinks, both for your body and for the deen.

I asked you questions that should be answerable by anyone with a basic level of scientific literacy. If all you have to say is "I have no clue, but this article I link to says I'm right", what's the point of discussing with you?

He didn't say bascially acidic, he said basically acid.

Do you really need somebody to explain to you why junk food is bad? There isn't an "I'm right and you are wrong" in this case, that's probably why bro Jedi doesn't want to bother to explain certain things. You should already know them and shouldn't require an explanation. Besides, this thread is about pepsi being questionable and there are plenty of reasons as to why, perhaps you should read the posts here a bit more carefully for starters.

I can't believe Pepsi Cola has got free publicity for 8 months, 37 replies and 1415 views. I'm sure the point was made on the first page.

Whoa, how did we go from "Pepsi is bad because it is acidic" to "Pepsi is junk food and junk food is bad, therefore Pepsi is bad"? Moving the goalposts, are we?

So this thread isn't really meant to debate, we're just supposed to stand in awe and receive bro Jedi's grand wisdom?

I challenged him on a basic point of (bio)chemistry. Even if Pepsi would otherwise be the most dangerous substance, that would not imply that he is right on the point he made, which is that the ability to clear rust implies that a foodstuff is harmful.
