rowntrees sugar free jelly?

Question

Can you tell me if rowntrees sugar free jelly contains aspartame, and is there any concern about giving this jelly to children?

Answer 1

We had to go to a dietatition when my daughter was younger, she had a milk allergy, and was also to some kinds of sugar. We had started her on sugarfree, jams, jellies and such, the doctor told us to stop. Just to give her the normal drinks, jellies and jams, as the sugarfree have things added that can be just as bad for young children. As long as you dont go overboard and have a healthy diet and brush your teeth, there is no piont in using sugar free food. i do not use sugar free, not one of my children is over weight, and not one has tooth decay. just moniter how much they have.

While it is well-known that aspartame contains phenylalanine and is unsafe for those born with phenylketonuria, research has also indicated more recently that aspartame can be implicated in other public health issues and holds serious health risks.

In 1995, FDA Epidemiology Branch Chief, Thomas Wilcox reported that aspartame complaints represented 75% of all reports of adverse reactions to substances in the food supply from 1981 to 1995. Concerns about aspartame frequently revolve around symptoms and health conditions that are allegedly caused by the sweetener. A total of 92 different symptoms and health conditions were reported by physicians and consumers, although this does not mean physician-reported or self-reported health effects are a basis for drawing scientific conclusions.

Questions have been raised about brain cancer, lymphoma, and genotoxic effects such as DNA-protein crosslinks, but these questions are primarily not based on reported case histories.

But all in all, having it once in a while won't cause them any harm. Just look at how many children drink fruit shoots and those are packed with Aspartame and phenylalanine.

I have some in the cupboard and it's out of date! November 2005!!! It does contain Aspartame. Isn't this banned in the USA as it is a mild carcinogenic? (causes cancer) It is also believed that women with an intolerance for phenylalinine, one of the compoents of aspartame, may give birth to infants with as much as a 15% drop in intelligence level if they habitually consume products containing this dangerous substance. It's in most diet foods and drinks in this country. (UK) and is mostly in childrens drinks, fruit shoot being one. Great. You'd think they'd ban it wouldn't you!!! Anyway, have a read of the below web page and see what you think for yourself. Personally I try to avoid it hence me not using the jelly!!!

Answer 7

I use sugar free jellies because of Type II Diabetes. I also give it to my daughter. She likes it. It doesn't bother her. She's 4.

Answer 8

It does contain aspartame and I hope it's safe for children as I make this all the time for them

Answer 9

it will probably give you cancer if you eat enough of it, but it is yum. Just because the gowernment food agencies tell us all this unnatural stuff is 'safe for human consumption' does not mean it actually is. They are just being paid by Rowntrees to say that.
Darn.....wil have to stick to the expensive, good quality chocolate, instead.

Answer 10
