Once hailed by fashion icons like Karl Lagerfeld and Jean Paul Gaultier, aspartame has a dark past. 🕵️‍♀️ Discovered in 1965, it took nearly 20 years to hit the shelves, shadowed by scandals, seizures in lab animals, and corruption. 😳 Its breakdown products—phenylalanine, aspartic acid, and methanol—are linked to brain damage, tumors, and more. Yet, it’s still in 5,000+ products. Politics over health? You decide. ⚠️🥤

Upside Foods opened the world’s largest lab-grown meat facility, aiming to produce millions of pounds of chicken, pork, and beef from animal cells. Backed by Gates and Cargill, it grows meat in vats using GMO-derived nutrients. While marketed as “ethical” and eco-friendly, the $18K/lb product is ultra-processed, inflammation-prone, and far from natural. At Comfort Keto, we say: real food shouldn't come from a lab. 🧬🥩🚫
