Sugar & aspartame impact immune and allergies
Aug 23, 2025
You would be surprised to find out what sugar impacts that you would never have thought! Did you know that your body CANNOT heal or work properly if you keep sugar in your diet?
Many people use aspartame or other artificial sweeteners instead of sugar because they think it is a healthy substitute BUT the opposite is true!
Sugar
Did you know sugar
- ... suppresses immune function
- ... CAUSES food allergies and feeds Candida causing Leaky Gut
- ... increases your cholesterol and blood pressure
- ... blocks protein absorption and nutrient absorption
- ... impacts your bones and joints
- ... can cause depression and premature aging AND MORE
Aspartame
Aspartame is an artificial sugar that has big consequences and is in several products that many people don't realize.
- History of aspartame - discovered when they were making rat poison, denied by the FDA several times, and turns into the same chemical composition as formaldehyde once it’s in the body.
- Aspartame is a neurotoxin and has been directly linked to Graves disease and other thyroid disturbances, seizures, fatigue, and many other brain issues.
- Aspartame can be found in diet products such as artificially sweetened sodas/beverages, toothpaste, and gum.
How to Replace Aspartame in Your Diet
- For gum/mints, choose options at the health food store that do not have ANY artificial sweeteners.
- Be sure to always read the ingredients - many products combine artificial sweeteners with natural sweeteners.
- Avoid maltitol because it causes loose stools.
- Avoid xylitol as a substitute. Xylitol can also cause digestive distrubances. Anything that ends with "ol" is usually a sugar alcohol and can cause digestive issues.
- It will also be better to use raw honey, maple syrup, other natural sweeteners, OVER aspartame or artificial sweeteners.
You’re not supposed to be living with Leaky Gut, Candida, or Food Allergies & Sensitivities. These are just symptoms of overwhelm on your body and an inflamed immune response. You can address what's causing that response and fix the imbalance!
If you don't fix the underlying reason why, these issues will keep coming back. Candida causes Leaky Gut and the undigested food gets through perforations in the digestive tract causing an inflamed immune response which is the definition of a Food Allergy or Sensitivity.
Elimination diets won't work because the list of allergies keep growing over time if you don't fix the root cause. Your body was built to work properly, and when you handle what’s interfering, those problems go away—and stay away.
