Milk industry specifically asks to HIDE aspartame from consumers

FDA requests comments

This is a clue to stop drinking processed milk and milk products altogether

(NaturalNews) You probably already know that the FDA has declared war on raw milk and even helped fund and coordinate armed government raids against raw milk farmers and distributors . Yes, it's insane. This brand of tyranny is unique to the USA and isn't even conducted in China, North Kora or Cuba. Only in the USA are raw milk farmers treated like terrorists.But now the situation is getting even more insane than you could have imagined: the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) have filed a petition with the FDA to secretly include chemical sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose.Importantly, none of these additives need to be listed on the label. They will simply be swept under the definition of "milk," so that when a company lists "milk" on the label, it automatically includes aspartame or sucralose. And if you're trying to, you'll have no way of doing so because it won't be listed on the label.This isn't only for milk, either: It's also for yogurt, cream, sour cream, eggnog, whipping cream and a total of 17 products, all of which are listed in the petition at FDA.gov As the petition states:This is all being done to "save the children," we're told, because the use of aspartame in milk products would reduce calories.Astonishingly, the dairy industry is engaged in extreme doublespeak logic and actually arguing thatby not listing it on the label. Here's what the petition says:In other words, aspartame from consumers by not including it on the label actuallyconsumers, according to the IDFA and NMPF!Yep, consumers are best served by keeping them ignorant. If this logic smacks of the same kind of twisted deception practiced by Monsanto, that's because it's identical: the less consumers know, the more they are helped, according to industry . And it's for the children, too, because children are also best served by keeping them poisoned with aspartame.Consumers have always been kept in the dark about pink slime, meat glue, rBGH and GMOs in their food. And now, if the IDFA gets its way, you'll be able to drink hormone-contaminated milk from an antibiotics-inundated cow fed genetically modified crops and producing milk containing. And you won't have the right to know about any of this!The FDA confirms this "secret" status of aspartame, stating, "If the standard of identity for milk is amended as requested by petitioners, milk manufacturers could use non-nutritive sweeteners in flavored milk without a nutrient content claim in its labeling."The FDA is requesting comments on this petition.

How about its inhumane treatment of animals who are subjected to torture conditions and pumped full of genetically engineered hormones? How about the fact that homogenization and pasteurization turn a whole food into a dietary nightmare that promotes obesity, autoimmune disorders and cardiovascular disease?There are lots of dirty little secrets in the dairy industry of course, and that doesn't even get into the secret closed-door conversations to encourage the FDA toof raw milk.The only rational answer to all this is to, period!I gave up ALL milk products many years ago and have never looked back. I drink almond milk, not pus-filled pasteurized cow's milk. ( Click here for a recipe to make your own almond milk at home .) I don't eat yogurt. If I want probiotics, I get them from tasty chewable probiotics supplements such as Sunbiotics . I parted ways with processed dairy products many years ago, and as a result, my cardiovascular health, skin health, digestive health and stamina have all remained in outstanding shape.There's also a philosophical issue here:The dairy industry is like a mafia. They actively seek to destroy the competition, keep consumers ignorant and monopolize the market. They run highly deceptive ads with ridiculous claims like, "drinking milk helps you lose weight" and other nonsense.The U.S. dairy industry is steeped in deception at every level, and now they want you and your children tothat's secretly blended into the product.The dairy industry is to food as Lance Armstrong is to sports. It's all a big lie, laced with secret chemicals and false claims.Stop drinking milk. Stop financially supporting the food mafia.Raw Milk Rover (hilarious animation)Got a PUStache?
