Many people bake or buy cookies for Valentine's Day because, with the help of heart-shaped cookie cutters and pink frosting, they look like the perfect romantic treats. But with the right ingredients, cookies can also be powerful aphrodisiacs!

An aphrodisiac (named for Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of sex and beauty) is something that can supposedly awaken or intensify sexual desire. While the Food and Drug Administration says there is no scientific evidence that aphrodisiacs really work, happy couples have sworn by them for centuries.

Some assert that aphrodisiacs work because they ignite hormones and stimulate increased blood flow to erogenous zones.

Others believe that any food will arouse passion if it's prepared or eaten by those with love on their mind.

Whether the boost in sexual desire that is triggered by an aphrodisiac is due to physiological or emotional reasons, it may be a powerful helper in getting your Valentine into the mood for love!

Most people have heard that oysters are aphrodisiacs. But here are some others that you may want to consider:

Chocolate. Considered by many as one of the best mood stimulants ever discovered. It not only has a rich, delicious flavor, chocolate contains phenethylamine, a natural stimulant that can make you feel wonderful all over.

Cinnamon. Sweet and stimulating, it may help to increase the blood flow.

Ginger. A flavorful spice used in Asia for centuries to enhance one's love life.

Honey. Considered one of the ultimate love foods, honey was used by ancient Egyptians to cure sterility and impotence. The term "honeymoon" comes from the ancient custom where newly married couples would drink mead (honey wine) during their first lunar month together, to "sweeten the marriage."

Nutmeg. With an intense and exciting aroma, nutmeg is another spice highly prized by Asian cultures as a powerful aphrodisiac.

Nuts. Several varieties, including walnuts, almonds and macadamias, have been considered to be aphrodisiacs for centuries. In ancient Rome, walnuts were thrown at newlyweds instead of rice because they were symbols of fertility.

Vanilla. The smell alone is thought to increase blood flow. Vanilla is especially enticing for men.

A great way to multiply the effect on your Valentine is to combine several of those aphrodisiac ingredients into one incredibly sexy treat: a cookie!

Aspartame Side Effects - Are You Sick Or Just Toxic?

Aspartame first arrived with FDA approval in 1981. And today is in many of the foods and drinks you regularly purchase. This chemical sweetener, also sold by the trade names, Nutrisweet and Equal, breaks down into aspartic acid, phenylalanine and methanol. Methanol breaks down further into formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde is found in embalming fluid. Ouch. This chemical is digested by the human body then circulates through the entire body. The byproducts then deposit in the tissues and create an array of symptoms.

The cumulative effects of this chemical has assaulted our health and health care systems. The damage caused by this man made food additive is seen to affect every body system...

The toxicity of aspartame is the root cause of these problems. So to actually find a disease and identify it, may not happen. You see, with no actual disease process occurring, tests could very well come back negative. The solution is to remove the toxic source and with that the symptoms would subside if not completely vanish.

Children and older adults are the most vulnerable to the effects of any poison. By FDA records, the number one source of aspartame with the most complaints is soda pop. The FDA has classed this chemical as 'generally regarded as safe' or GRAS.

That is not too surprising. After all, saying you were wrong is probably one of the hardest things you have ever done. So, what do you think the chances are that the FDA would say they were in error?

You don't have to worry about the world wide economy or even the food industry when you decide what to eat or feed your family. All you have to concern yourself with is what is best for your family.

Alright, what can you do...

1. Stop consuming Aspartame on an immediate basis.

2. Ban this chemical from your home.

3. You can assist your body to heal by eating organic food whenever possible.

4. Additionally, you could take nutritional supplements to aid the healing.

5. Check your child's chewable vitamins to ensure this is not in it.

6. Check your infant's formula. Discard any that has this toxin.

7. Get your health back and be sure to tell others the changes you made.

This additive has demonstrated what a successful ad campaign can do. So, don't be hard on yourself for not knowing these facts. Start fresh from here, taking a sensible approach to change that will put you on track to lifelong health.
