Aspartame in Milk Without a Label? Big Dairy Petitions FDA For Approval

Two powerful dairy organizations, The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF), are petitioning the Food and Drug Administration to allow aspartame and other artificial sweeteners to be added milk and other dairy products without a label.

The FDA currently allows the dairy industry to use “nutritive sweeteners” including sugar and high fructose corn syrup in many of their products. Nutritive sweeteners are defined as sweeteners with calories.

This petition officially seeks to amend the standard of identification for milk, cream, and 17 other dairy products like yogurt, sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, and others to provide for the use of any “safe and suitable sweetener” on the market

They claim that aspartame and other artificial sweeteners would promote healthy eating and is good for school children.

According to the FDA notice issued this week:

IDFA and NMPF state that the proposed amendments would promote more healthful eating practices and reduce childhood obesity by providing for lower-calorie flavored milk products. They state that lower-calorie flavored milk would particularly benefit school children who, according to IDFA and NMPF, are more inclined to drink flavored milk than unflavored milk at school.

OMG... you know? that is WHY I used to pack home made lunches for my kids... because of all the artifical ingred. and additives in school lunches. It doesn NOT surprise me at all that ASSpertame is being considered or will be added to milk flavored drinks.  I avoid anything that says "flavored" because it's not real. Another rule for me? If I can't read the ingredients on a label? I don't buy it.  A few great places to buy good nuts btw (yeah I'm random) is Nuts.com, Puritan Pride. Like these two companyies. And if you want to balance your Alkaline in your body... Raw apple cider vinegar in water every day will help. And raw foods, organic if you can. Love ya. GREAT GROUP! Thanks for the invite Tara and for the heart Thor!
