[00:00:23] one or two, but 200 times sweeter than the absorption of sugar in
[00:00:32] Are there people in this society, in this
[00:00:52] conducted in Norway, in
[00:01:21] is where that fear of until 1988 to be used in
[00:01:40] we go back to delve deeper into
[00:01:50] Before it, in the 1950s, the viewers why success is important in
[00:02:20] ماكيتوقفش على
[00:02:33] a false
[00:03:00] It is dangerous for the brain. It is dangerous for
[00:04:12] for it. What does it do? It increases
[00:05:08] as aspartame.
[00:05:16] Dr. Karim Al-Wali, what is the story of aspartame? It is a story
[00:05:20] of coincidence. There were some scientists in the 1960s
[00:05:23] who were looking for a cure for heartburn. They found two amino acids.
[00:05:26] We know that amino acids are what make up proteins.
[00:05:30] When they found them, they tasted them. They found them to be very sweet, not just
[00:05:36] sugar. So here began the story of
[00:05:39] a substance that has no calories and gives a sweet taste
[00:05:43] 200% sweeter. And he said, "This is a miracle! This will allow us
[00:05:46] to get rid of sugar for the health of people." Aha.
[00:05:49] It is composed of two amino acids. The first is aspartic acid,
[00:05:53] which gave it its name, aspartame, and the second is phenylalanine.
[00:05:56] Both are amino acids
[00:05:59] that they were researching to find a solution for heartburn.
[00:06:03] Okay. So
[00:06:06] they submitted it to the FDA, the Food and Drug Administration, to get
[00:06:09] authorization to use it. Three months later, they said, "No, it has
[00:06:15] ثلاث شهور من بعد قال لك لا فيه
[00:06:18] the brain." They withdrew their authorization, and about four
[00:06:22] or five months later, they re-authorized it. Aspartame
[00:06:25] didn't enter Europe until the 1980s. So, for example,
[00:06:29] France didn't authorize it
[00:06:33] food to sweeten it. Aha. What is
[00:06:36] it? Is it a liquid? Is it a substance that is added to our food? What
[00:06:39] does it look like? What is it known as? A powder. A powder.
[00:06:43] Wherever I put it, it increases the sweetness of
[00:06:46] the food. In Europe, they always label it as
[00:06:49] E951. This is its code. It is called a food
[00:06:52] additive. It
[00:06:55] increases the sweet taste of it. Aspartame is not
[00:06:59] the first sweetener in history.
[00:07:03] there was saccharin, which was the problem.
[00:07:06] Saccharin had a slightly bitter aftertaste.
[00:07:09] Aspartame, on the other hand, gives a very sweet taste. And you should know that
[00:07:13] millions of consumers around the world use it, and it is part of the composition
[00:07:16] of more than 6,000 industrial products. So we eat it without
[00:07:20] realizing it. I can tell you that chewing gum contains
[00:07:23] aspartame. Is it good or bad? Aspartame, everything
[00:07:27] that is light, everything
[00:07:29] that does not contain calories,
[00:07:33] is it good or bad for health? Here, opinions are divided
[00:07:37] because there are studies, and then other studies come along and say the opposite. But
[00:07:41] last year, there was a major change. The World Health Organization,
[00:07:44] specifically in July
[00:07:47] 2023, declared it among the substances that
[00:07:50] can be carcinogenic. This was a big change because there has always
[00:07:54] been a conflict. Researchers publish research, and then
[00:07:58] industrialists come along and say that research is invalid because
[00:08:01] it wasn't done properly, because research has certain rules
[00:08:05] that must be followed. They always find the problem
[00:08:08] to invalidate the study. But in July 2023,
[00:08:13] the World Health Organization said that it must
[00:08:16] be cautious, and the European Food Safety Authority
[00:08:20] said that there is a dose that should not be exceeded.
[00:08:24] And why do we take aspartame? Of course, we want
[00:08:27] to increase sugar, we want to lose weight. This is wrong
[00:08:30] because our body is intelligent. That is to say,
[00:08:33] when I give it a fake sugar, this is called a fake sugar. When I give it a fake
[00:08:36] sugar, my tongue tastes
[00:08:40] sweetness, and it will have the same reaction.
[00:09:12] It doesn't get tricked. You give it food, and it analyzes and knows what you gave it.
[00:09:16] It didn't receive sugar, so it received sugar. Then it tells the brain that there is no
[00:09:19] sugar. So the brain will make up
[00:09:24] the absorption of sugar. Aha.
[00:09:27] To compensate for the calculation that the brain made incorrectly. People who
[00:09:31] want to use aspartame from a medical point of view, what are the recommended
[00:09:34] daily amounts? Can they
[00:09:37] use it, or are there other alternatives, Dr. Al-Wali? We prefer not to.
[00:09:40] Madam, the World Health Organization said it's possibly carcinogenic.
[00:09:44] Okay. The French ANSES and the European Food Safety Authority
[00:09:47] said not to exceed
[00:09:51] 2.8 grams per day. So when there are
[00:09:54] problems like this, it's better to stay away. There are
[00:09:58] plenty of natural things.
[00:10:01] for children because children have the ability to handle
[00:10:05] sugar. After two years, I shouldn't give it to them before two years, but they need a little
[00:10:09] sugar. You can't give them zero. So it's better to give them good
[00:10:12] nutritional sugars, for example, coconut sugar or
[00:10:16] brown sugar, but only a little bit. I give them a
[00:10:20] fake sugar. Understand? Because, Zainab, what they found
[00:10:23] is that when I drink a beverage
[00:10:34] that contains sugar, but if I measure the sugar after eating, I find that one
[00:10:37] with zero sugar raises blood sugar more. That's why they say
[00:10:41] it has no sugar after
[00:10:44] eating. Why? Because it increases
[00:10:46] the intestines. After that, I will eat
[00:10:50] more sugar. This is the first point. The second point is the study
[00:10:53] on health that was done
[00:10:57] on mice, as we always do. They found that if mice
[00:11:00] were exposed to aspartame their whole lives, there was a risk
[00:11:03] of two types of cancer: liver cancer
[00:11:07] and lung cancer. Ah, this is the study that
[00:11:09] the World Health Organization based its decision on.
[00:11:13] And there was another study
[00:11:17] Denmark, regarding the effect of aspartame on women.
[00:11:20] The effect
[00:11:23] premature birth, which is preterm birth, the possibility of
[00:11:26] preterm birth. Preterm birth.
[00:11:29] Preterm birth. Therefore, it is not recommended for pregnant women.
[00:11:33] Always be careful when you go to buy products. Stay away from anything light,
[00:11:36] anything... And this problem of light is another problem.
[00:11:39] Why? Because I take a light product that contains aspartame.
[00:11:43] The problem is not with aspartame,
[00:11:45] it's with the other ingredients that make that light product
[00:11:49] delicious. So I add additives, I add other
[00:11:52] ingredients that are not good. This is a disruptor.
[00:12:02] With those other substances that have major health problems, especially when it's in biscuits
[00:12:06] and other things, it's used at high temperatures to cook
[00:12:09] it. Therefore, aspartame is converted
[00:12:12] into a carcinogenic substance. A carcinogenic substance. So, two
[00:12:16] things: aspartic acid and phenylalanine.
[00:12:19] This phenylalanine is already known for a rare
[00:12:23] genetic disease called
[00:12:30] that digests this substance, phenylalanine. Even if
[00:12:33] these children have a significant delay, I need to do
[00:12:37] a diagnostic so that I remove this substance from their food.
[00:12:41] There is a somewhat complex diet, but these people
[00:12:44] are already at risk. This is the problem with that phenylalanine
[00:12:48] and aspartame. As I
[00:12:50] mentioned, it affects the brain
[00:12:53] and increases appetite, and it gives me
[00:12:58] drop in blood sugar. It's not real. Then
[00:13:01] I eat sugar. So these two compounds, Zainab, are completely
[00:13:05] digested. That is, they pass through completely. And when they are completely digested, they also release
[00:13:09] a third substance, which is alcohol. It is
[00:13:13] that alcohol that is produced by fruits, for example. Even if you eat a lot of fruits,
[00:13:17] some alcohol is produced. Aspartame, when digested,
[00:13:20] produces an alcoholic substance that is dangerous.
[00:13:25] the brain. If there is a large amount, it is not good
[00:13:28] for the development of our brain. That's why not everything
[00:13:32] that comes out, Dr. Al-Wali, we should start trying without consulting
[00:13:35] a specialist, of course.
[00:13:41] in moderation. I'm taking sugar
[00:13:46] health. And today there are several ways to change
[00:13:50] the taste of something. I can use, for example, like mint.
[00:13:54] A good blend. I can use cinnamon. I can
[00:13:57] use honey. Fructose is
[00:14:01] natural and has a low glycemic index. For fructose,
[00:14:04] the glycemic index is around 20
[00:14:07] to 30, compared to regular sugar.
[00:14:09] And its
[00:14:12] glycemic index is very high. Do you know what that means, Zainab? It means that one-third of a spoon of honey
[00:14:15] gives me the sweetness of a spoon of sugar.
[00:14:19] Honey, sorry, especially if it is raw honey. We will encourage
[00:14:22] cooperatives, and we will buy Moroccan and support
[00:14:26] the economy, and there will be many doors open because we buy
[00:14:29] and promote it. And that's great! We benefit, and people benefit with us.
[00:14:32] Of course, and Moroccan cooperative products are always
[00:14:36] guaranteed. We know that because there are organizations that oversee them. They
[00:14:39] create jobs. So I always know that they tell me to buy
[00:14:43] local, Dr., because they know I prioritize it. Even if I don't find local,
[00:14:46] then I buy foreign. Absolutely. And young
[00:14:50] children are smart. I noticed when the tragedy
[00:14:54] happened
[00:14:59] he used to bring me honey. At one point, production stopped, and my son
[00:15:03] when I gave him regular commercial honey, he said, "This is not my honey."
[00:15:06] He was used to that authentic taste.
[00:15:09] So, it's better to accustom children from a young age
[00:15:13] fruits and honey, and try not to introduce them to these
