Aspartame: Is a laxative. Also, causes developmental abnormalities in those under 24 years of age. Has links to Alzheimers too.
Bread: Wheat is bad for you. Period. The human body is not supposed to process glutens. Linked to anxiety, digestive issues and oils/bacteria in skin. For some people, the presence of glutens is life threatening. Wheat is necessary for breads and pastries and such that require they rise while cooking though. While wheat is generally bad for the human body, the gluten protein is pretty much packed with enough energy to keep you going when you don't eat enough. Products made with rice flours tend to be healthier, digest easier and just as high in protein.
Potatoes: Nothing really wrong with them. However, high levels of starch and carbs. People who generally have digestive issues tend to have symptoms heightened by presence of starches in food. And as above post mentions, skin left on poptoes IS good. Adds fiber and minerals to your diet.
Want to be healthy? Limit amounts of wheat, aspartame and starches in your diet and replace with foods high in fiber such as Hemp Hearts (also extremely high in protein and omega 3-6-9 fatty acids), green veggies and any fruit or vegetable that is not processed in any way.
I've changed my diet to follow these thoughts and I have so much more energy, shit normal again and don't get sick nearly as often. I also went from 196lbs to 174lbs since middle of december.
