The
Food & Drug Administration has recently ruled that beverages
which contain HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP may not be labeled as “Natural.”
Therefore,
beverages that contain HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP do not qualify for
the “Certified Natural Beverage” mark.
The Food & Drug Administration has declined numerous requests
to allow Stevia to be marketed and/or sold as a “Sweetener” in the
United States. Our Scientific Board (90 years of combined medical
research) concurs strongly and also determined that Stevia is not
a safe ingredients and/or sweetener in beverages.
Various
scientific commissions have determined that Stevia’s potential for
toxicity renders it an inappropriate sweetener in humans:
| •
|
In
2007, Stevia glycosides were been shown to exhibit genotoxicity
(Nunes AP, Ferreira-Machado SC, Nunes RM, Dantas FJ, De
Mattos JC, Caldeira-de-Araújo A (2007). "Analysis of
genotoxic potentiality of stevioside by comet assay".
Food Chem. Toxicol. 45 (4): 662–6). |
| •
|
The
National Academy of Sciences has determined that
“Metabolically Activated Steviol, the Aglycone of Stevioside,
is Mutagenic.” |
| •
|
The
European Commission, Directorate-General XXIV Consumer
Policy and Consumer Health Protection, Scientific Committee
on Food, Opinion on Stevioside as a Sweetener, concluded
that: |
| |
“The
review on the safety of stevioside was updated by the Committee
in 1989 (2) and 1999. In both these opinions, several questions
of concern were raised by the Committee regarding the purity
of the extracts that had been tested, the metabolism of stevioside,
mutagenicity of metabolites, questionable chronic toxicity
and carcinogenicity studies, and finally fertility and teratogenicity
studies not performed according to Good Laboratory Practice.
|
| |
In conclusion,
the Committee could not accept its use based on the submitted
documentation and stevioside extracts from Stevia rebaudiana
leaves were considered as toxicologically not acceptable.” |
In the
United States, Stevia can be sold as a dietary supplement, but
not as a sweetener because it has not been approved as
a food additive by the government agencies that regulate foods and
drugs.
Beverages that contain STEVIA AND/OR STEVIOL GLYCOSIDES do not qualify
for the “Certified Natural Beverage” mark.
Synthetic
& Chemical Sweeteners
|
Beverages
that contain synthetic and/or chemical sweeteners do not qualify for
the “Certified Natural Beverage” mark. These include:
•
acesulfame potassium (ACE-K)
|
•
aspartame
|
•
cyclamates
|
•
neotame
|
•
saccharin
|
•
sucralose
|
Sugar
alcohols (technically called polyols) are carbohydrates that are
neither sugars nor alcohols.
Beverages that contain sugar alcohols do not qualify for the “Certified
Natural Beverage” mark. These include:
•
xylitol |
•
mannitol
|
•
sorbitol
|
•
isomalt
|
•
maltitol
|
•
maltitol
syrup
|
| •
lactitol |
•
erythritol |
In
diabetics, the glycemic response to sugar alcohols can be profound.
Sorbitol has been known to elevate blood sugar slower than high
glycemic sugars, but rapidly enough to cause postprandial blood
sugar elevation. Significant blood sugar elevation is evidenced
hours after consuming foods containing sugar alcohols and/or sugar
alcohol syrups.
Isomalt, a sugar alcohol, has been shown to cause moderate to profound
gastric distress, including diarrhea and flatulence. In children
age 4 to 14, isomalt was shown to cause diarrhea in 25 % of the
children.

Type 2 Diabetes
is a disease that is totally preventable given acceptable preventive
measures, such as diet and exercise. Beverages that contain ingredients
that have been clinically proven to exacerbate Type 2 Diabetes include
honey, molasses, maple syrup, rice syrup, white grape juice, sucrose,
and glucose polymers. Beverages that contain these ingredients do
not qualify for the “Certified Natural Beverage” mark.

T-Acetylcysteine is an antioxidant commonly used in dietary supplements
that can lead to pulmonary arterial hypertension, according to research
from the University of Virginia (UV) Health System. The study examined
the effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and the results, published
in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, indicate the
antioxidant can form a red blood cell-derived molecule that makes
blood vessels think they are not getting enough oxygen. This can
lead to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition characterized
by high blood pressure in the arteries carrying blood to the lungs.
According to the researchers, "NAC fools the body into
thinking that it has an oxygen shortage - We found that an NAC product
formed by red blood cells, know as a nitrosothiol, bypasses the
normal regulation of oxygen sensing. It tells the arteries in the
lung to 'remodel'; they become narrow, increasing the blood pressure
in the lungs and causing the right side of the heart to swell."
Beverages that contain T-Acetylcysteine do not qualify for the “Certified
Natural Beverage” mark.

Independent scientific evidence has clearly demonstrated the dangers
of ingesting modified or refined soy products in women:
Increased
Risk of Breast Cancer by Refined Soy Products:
|
Phytoestrogens
Dr. William Helferich
Professor
Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition
University of Illinois
Dietary
phytoestrogens & Breast Cancer: a complex safety issue involving
dose & timing of exposure
Genistein,
found in soy products, is a phytochemical with estrogenic activity.
Our research has focused on the effects dietary genistein on growth
of estrogen (E)-dependent mammary tumors both in vitro
and in vivo. Genistein enhances the proliferation of E-dependent
human breast cancer tumor growth.
We have demonstrated that soy protein isolates processed to contain
low, medium, and high amounts of isoflavones simulate tumor
growth in a dose-dependent manner. Expression of the estrogen-responsive
gene pS2 was also induced in response to treatment with dietary
genistein. We also evaluated the effect of dietary genistein in
the chemically induced (NMU) mammary cancer rodent model and have
demonstrated that dietary genistein stimulates growth in this model.
To evaluate whether dietary genistein interacts with current anti-estrogen
breast cancer therapy such as tamoxifen (TAM), we implanted E-dependent
tumors into ovariectomized athymic mice and administered estradiol,
estradiol plus TAM, or estradiol, TAM plus dietary genistein. In
these studies dietary genistein was able to negate the inhibitory
effect of TAM on E-stimulated tumor growth. Genistein is present
in soy as part of a complex mixture and the profile of these other
bioactive compounds plays an important role; we will present data
on how the profile of soy bioactive compounds can modulate genistein-stimulated,
estrogen-dependent tumor growth. In summary, genistein can act as
an estrogen agonist resulting in proliferation of Edependent human
breast cancer cells in vivo and can negate the inhibitory effects
of TAM on E-stimulated growth of MCF-7 cell tumors (in vivo).
Soy,
breast cancer prevention link questioned
4/5/2006
Review: The review examined 18 studies conducted over 26 years,
and were published in the Journal of the National Cancer
Institute.
"Because soy foods and soy supplements are widely used,
we conducted this first true meta-analysis to understand what role
soy foods might have on breast cancer risk," said scientists
at Georgetown University Medical Center and Johns Hopkins School
of Medicine.
The new findings prompted the scientists to warn that high dose
soy supplements, taken by women to reduce their risk of developing
breast cancer, could do more harm than good. Short-term studies
of women taking such supplements showed changes in breast cell growth
that might actually increase risk for breast cancer, while tests
of refined soy products in animals revealed increased tumor growth.
However, on the up side, the scientists said that there is no risk
when it comes to adding soy to the diet. “The important aspect
is eating actual soy-based foods like tofu, not highly purified
isoflavone supplements. Highly refined components of soy can have
very different biological effects than eating tofu or drinking soymilk,”
said Dr Bruce Trock, associate professor of urology, epidemiology
and oncology at John Hopkins.
Beverages that contain Soy isolfavones and/or modified or refined
soy, do not qualify for the “Certified Natural Beverage” mark.

Ingredient in Energy Drinks
Deemed Dangerous
Taurine: Culprit in Heart Function & Blood Pressure
Are Energy Drinks Safe for the Heart?
The AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION (AHA) recently announced that energy
drinks can dangerously affect heart function and blood pressure.
This announcement was made at the American Heart Association’s Scientific
Sessions and came as quite a surprise to researchers. The AHA report
was based on clinical studies that demonstrated “Blood pressure
and heart rate levels increased in healthy adults who drank
two cans a day of a popular energy drink containing Taurine and
caffeine.”
Clinical trials involving energy drinks have shown that caffeine/Taurine
beverages can be dangerous to patients with heart disease, and that
drinking more than two cans a day can lead to higher risk increases,
even in healthy people (1). The researchers advised people with
high blood pressure and heart rate to "avoid these drinks".
The dangerous cocktail of Taurine and caffeine was proven to cause
pressure-induced bradycardia which induced changes in heart rate
and mean arterial blood pressure.
In double-blind placebo trials, the strictest and most
accurate form of clinical trials, Red Bull was proven to cause “significant
decline in heart rate and an increase in mean arterial blood pressure
(2).” Red Bull contains Taurine.
|
Energy
Drinks Jolt Blood Pressure
|
MEDSCAPE, Diabetes & Endocrinology; Energy Drinks Jolt Blood
Pressure (3), reported that energy drinks containing caffeine
and the amino acid Taurine, “can adversely affect heart function
and blood pressure.”
The
results prompted researchers to advise people with hypertension
or heart disease to avoid energy drinks containing caffeine and
Taurine, as they could impact the effectiveness of medication, as
well as their blood pressure. Top Neurologists have additionally
confirmed that the combination of caffeine and Taurine could cause
seizures in humans. Researchers stated that large consumption of
energy drinks that contain both caffeine and Taurine can provoke
seizures (4). The Neurologists reported that “Once the patients
were abstinent from the energy drinks, no recurrent seizures were
reported.”
Beverages
that contain Taurine do not qualify for the “Certified Natural Beverage”
mark.
Beverages
that contain high levels of caffeine (more than 150 mg/serving)
do not qualify for the “Certified Natural Beverage” mark.
Bovine Colostrum (Misoprostol): Misoprostol acid in colostrum causes
spontaneous abortion. Bovine Colostrum can cause spontaneous abortion
in young women due to its misoprostol content. Bovine Colostrum
is contraindicated in young women because of its pro-abortive and
teratogenic activity, which causes stimulate uterine contractions,
vaginal bleeding and miscarriage. Beverages that contain Bovine
Colostrum do not qualify for the “Certified Natural Beverage” mark.
Beverages that contain Growth Hormone (GH) and/or Bovine GH do not
qualify for the “Certified Natural Beverage” mark. GH has been shown
to cause severe side effects in humans including bone deformities.
Beverages that contain Growth Hormone do not qualify for the “Certified
Natural Beverage” mark.
Dangerous
Forms of L-Arginine |
Per the Johns Hopkins University Human Clinical Trials on L-Arginine,
and the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) report
on L-Arginine, some forms of the amino acid can cause mortality.
In studies where the HCL form of L-arginine has been used, metabolic
acidosis and alterations in electrolytes have been documented. It
is therefore not recommended for human use. Arginine HCL is the
form that was used in the tragic Johns Hopkins/JAMA clinical trial
that caused mortalities.
Arginine
Pyroglutamate
Not recommended for human use. Mechanism of action in the body is
entirely speculative according to the Physician’s Desk Reference
(PDR).
Arginine
Ketoglutarate And Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG)
Researchers and physicians caution that Alpha-ketoglutarate is not
recommended for human use.
Beverages
that contain the toxic forms of L-Arginine do not qualify for the
“Certified Natural Beverage” mark.

Aristolochic acid is judged to be "definitely hazardous"
because of documented kidney failure (sometimes requiring transplant),
deaths, and known potent cancer-causing properties. Ephedra, Ma
Huang, Comfrey, herbal androstenedione, chaparral, germander, and
kava are classified as "very likely hazardous" because
they are banned in other countries; have generated an FDA warning;
or are identified as causing adverse effects in studies. Each is
known by more than one name. Abnormal liver function or damage,
often irreversible, and deaths have been reported for chaparral,
comfrey, germander, and kava. Bitter orange, organ/glandular extracts
(brain/adrenal/ pituitary/placenta/other gland "substance"
or "concentrate"), lobelia, pennyroyal oil, skullcap,
and yohimbe are considered "likely hazardous." This category
applies to ingredients for which there have been adverse-event reports
or because of theoretical risks.
Beverages
that contain any of these herbs do not qualify for the “Certified
Natural Beverage” mark.
St. John's
Wort is not allowed in a beverage at any level
The botanical,
St. John’s Wort is not allowed, by the FDA, for use as an ingredient
in a beverage. St. John’s Wort is not a GRAS substance or an approved
food additive, per FDA guidelines, and may not be used in beverages
of any type.

Carmine is a red coloring frequently used in yogurt, candies, fruit
drinks and sweets. Carmine is made from deceased ground-up husks
of female red beetles. The beetles, which originate from the Canary
Islands, are dried and ground up to create a red paste. The red
paste is then exported to the United States and other countries
where food is produced, and foods to give them a strawberry-like
color. Carmine is listed on labels as "carmine", and not
as "ground-up red beetles." While carmine may not pose
a health risk to American consumers, it is an example of questionable
labeling, as consumers have the right to know when ground-up insects
are being used in their foods.
There are approximately 100 items in the grocery store with carmine
listed on the label (such as many strawberry yogurt products). Beverages
that contain Carmine do not qualify for the “Certified Natural Beverage”
mark.

Sodium Nitrite, when combined with saliva and digestive enzymes,
creates cancer-causing compounds known as nitrosamines. In humans,
consumption of Sodium Nitrite (SN) is correlated with cancer, leukemia,
and brain tumors. SN does not require a warning on food labels.
Beverages
that contain Sodium Nitrite do not qualify for the “Certified Natural
Beverage” mark.
