Day 6: Aspartame (E951) ☠️🍬 “Sugar-free” doesn’t always mean risk-free.

This is why I read labels like it’s my job. 👀
Aspartame (E951) was classified as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2B) by the WHO’s cancer research arm (IARC) and it’s still everywhere.

In July 2023, IARC classified aspartame as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2B) based on limited evidence.
At the same time, the WHO/FAO expert committee (JECFA) said the evidence did not justify changing the current intake limit and reaffirmed the ADI of 0–40 mg/kg/day.
The FDA continues to allow aspartame and lists an ADI of 50 mg/kg/day.

✅ Translation: “Possible carcinogen” is a hazard label, not a guarantee of harm at everyday intake, but it’s also not a free pass. Knowledge = power.

⸻

Where aspartame HIDES 🕵️‍♀️

Look for: Aspartame, E951, and blends like “aspartame + acesulfame potassium (Ace-K)”.

Biggest hideouts:
• Diet / Zero / Sugar-Free sodas & flavored waters
• Sugar-free gum + mints
• “No sugar added” puddings, gelatins, dessert cups, drink mixes
• Protein drinks/bars and “light” snacks (check labels)
• Medications + chewables + vitamins (inactive ingredients can include it)

⸻

🚨 Extra important: PKU warning

If a product contains aspartame, labels must warn:
“PHENYLKETONURICS: CONTAINS PHENYLALANINE.”

⸻

GodFit swaps (simple + realistic) 🥤➡️💧
• Diet soda → sparkling water + lemon/lime, or unsweetened iced tea
• Sugar-free gum → mint leaves, cinnamon stick tea, or xylitol gum (still read labels)
• “Zero sugar” treats → fruit + plain Greek yogurt + cinnamon (sweet, not neon)

⸻

Save this. Share this. Check your labels. ✅
GodFit is here to create awareness so we can protect our families and demand better.

DAY 5: Additives Awareness Series (2026)

Titanium Dioxide (E171 / CI 77891)
Not just in food. Also in toothpaste.

This ingredient is used to make things look brighter, whiter, smoother, more perfect.
But pretty is not a health benefit.

EU reality (food):
EFSA concluded titanium dioxide can no longer be considered safe as a food additive because a genotoxicity (DNA damage) concern could not be ruled out.
The EU then banned E171 in food.

USA reality:
The FDA still allows titanium dioxide as a food color additive (with limits) and it may show up as colored with titanium dioxide or under broader terms like artificial color.

And yes, toothpaste:
Titanium dioxide is commonly used as a whitening and coloring pigment in toothpaste to make it look bright white.
It can show up as titanium dioxide or CI 77891.

Where to look:
Food: candy coatings, frosted pastries, gum, powdered donuts, white icings
Toothpaste: check the inactive ingredients for titanium dioxide or CI 77891

GodFit 3 second rule:
Flip it. Read it. If it is there, decide if whiter is worth it.

Genesis 6:3
And the LORD said, his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.

🚫🍒 DAY 4: RED DYE NO. 3 (FD&C Red 3) is officially on the way OUT.

The FDA revoked authorization for Red Dye No. 3 in foods because of cancer findings in animal studies (this falls under the Delaney Clause). This isn’t fear-mongering, it’s the actual FDA action.

✅ What to do today:
1. Flip the label over
2. Look for “FD&C Red No. 3” / “Red 3” / “Erythrosine”
3. Put it back and choose a cleaner option (fruit-colored foods don’t need chemical “lipstick” to look edible).

📌 Share this so your friends stop eating dyes they never agreed to.

🔗 FDA article (official):

Comment “CHECK” if you want me to post a quick Red Dye label cheat sheet you can screenshot for shopping.

The FDA is revoking the authorization for the use of FD&C Red No. 3 based on the Delaney Clause of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act).

If an additive is linked to cancer concerns, why is it still in our food?

ONE ADDITIVE A DAY: Day 3 | BHA (Butylated Hydroxyanisole)
BHA is a preservative used to keep fats/oils from going rancid so foods last longer.
EWG warns it’s been linked to cancer concerns and says the FDA has sat on a petition about it for decades.
The National Toxicology Program lists BHA as “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen” based on animal studies.

Where it can show up (examples):
Processed/cured meats: pepperoni, salami, hot dogs, bacon, sausage, some deli meats.
Packaged foods: chips/snack mixes, crackers, microwave popcorn, instant noodles (check the label).

What to look for:
➡️ “BHA” or “butylated hydroxyanisole”

Swap example (simple):
➡️ Swap 1 processed meat or packaged snack this week for home-cooked chicken + a whole-food side (fruit/veg/nuts).
No shame. Just awareness



https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/news/2024/09/three-decades-later-bha-remains-food #

In 1990, a doctor filed a petition asking the Food and Drug Administration to ban the use of the additive BHA in food – and they’re still waiting for a response.

Never doubt yourself — not for one moment.
The God who shaped the mountains, carved the oceans, and painted the sunset also created you with purpose, intention, and extraordinary beauty.

You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).
That means nothing about you is accidental.
Your gifts, your resilience, your heart — all of it was designed by the One who makes no mistakes.

So when doubt whispers, let God’s Word speak louder:
You are chosen. You are loved. You are created with purpose.

Walk boldly.
Shine brightly.
God didn’t create you to shrink — He created you to rise. ❤️✨

✨ NOT ALL DELI MEATS ARE CREATED EQUAL ✨
Let’s talk about nitrates — one of the sneakiest additives hiding in our foods.

Nitrates are preservatives found in many deli meats, bacon, sausages, hot dogs, and cured meats. They keep food looking “fresh”… but inside our bodies, they can create inflammation and stress.

✅ Why it matters:
Nitrates can convert into nitrites, which may trigger headaches, increase blood pressure, disrupt our gut, and in high amounts, have been linked to certain cancers. They also add to the cycle of cravings and addictive eating patterns.

But here’s the good news…
Healing starts with awareness. When you know better, you choose better.

✅ Healthier swaps:
• Fresh sliced chicken or turkey
• Wild-caught salmon
• Fresh vegetables & leafy greens
• Nitrate-free brands (always read labels!)
• Simple, whole ingredients you can pronounce

Your body is the temple God gave you — fuel it with foods that give you energy, clarity, and peace. 🕊️
Small choices today can create BIG healing tomorrow.
