Mexico: 'Light' products may cause abortion
Aspartame | Toxic substances

According to Guadalupe Garcia Alcacer, a researcher at the University of Queretaro, Mexico, chemicals contained in foods and drinks characterized as 'light' may cause spontaneous abortions.

QUERETARO, Mexico - Women who are regularly exposed to additives in foods, hormones, and environmental contaminants such as heavy metals, have an increased probability to experience spontaneous abortions.

According to Guadalupe Garcia Alcacer, a researcher at the University of Queretaro, Mexico, chemicals contained in foods and drinks characterized as 'light' may cause spontaneous abortions.

"The information coming out of our study is interesting for all those in reproductive age, as they can avoid consuming additives like phenilalanine (used in 'light' products) clenbuterol (a bronchodilator), as well as aspartame and serotonin, among other substances." Studies with rats and chickens reveal that they cause alterations in the offspring, that is: "alteration or resorption of brain vesicles, where the latter may lead to spontaneous abortion."
