Lite is Dangerous

Investigating Aspartame and Other Sweeteners - Essais - documents

By: Henriette Chardak

In 6,000 food products, aspartame is found everywhere in so-called diet nutrition. However, several scientific studies show that this sweetener is harmful for children, pregnant women and epileptics. Used to replace sugar and reduce the caloric intake of food, aspartame actually works in the opposite direction, it develops obesity and diabetes. In this first in-depth investigation of the diet industry, Henriette Chardak exposes a health scandal. She shows why the use of aspartame continues despite the risks it generates. How people were pushed into consuming these chemical substances—whose harmlessness had been questioned for many years. Between Chicago and Tokyo, top-secret files and complacency of the authorities, the author offers us a breathless thriller, behind-the-scenes of the world chemical industry. The story begins in Chicago and ends up in our plates and our medicines. A real cold case, where readers will find the keys to a thriller that was played out in the 1970s. They will make up their minds about the usefulness—or danger—of this fake sugar. Two scoops: • super sweeteners from aspartame are given to cattle to make them grow fatter faster; • Japan, which manufactures aspartame, does not consume it. This book also lays bare what is was not meant to be told—the conflicts of interest, colossal stakes, secret files forbidden to the public. Henriette Chardak is a journalist and television producer. She studied criminology with Professor Jacques Léauté during her journalism studies, which led her to prefer long investigations to short news flashes. After working as a journalist and director for France 2, she devoted herself to biographies, to introduce the general public to unique and exemplary pioneers: Kepler, Brahe, Pythagoras, Rabelais, Cervantes, Reclus, Shakespeare.

The Children of Terezin and the Monster in a Mustache

Essais - documents

By: Henriette Chardak

At Terezín, many children sang for the Nazi officials and the Red Cross. They were used as propaganda tools, between 1943 and 1944, to make the world believe that Hitler had given a "paradise" to the Jews. Only around 100 of the 15,000 innocent people who passed through this transit camp survived. Ela Stein Weissberger, deported at the age of 11, is one of the few survivors. In Hans Krása's opera Brundibár (The Bumblebee) performed at the camp, she played the role of the Cat, the rebellious animal who attacks the mustached monster in the hope of winning the war! Her poignant testimony gives voice once again to the courageous, hopeful children who left 4,500 drawings, diaries and poems at Terezín. Like an internal road movie, the author offers a parallel narrative—she looks back on her own family history, her search for Ela, her anecdotes from the shooting of a documentary film, and she speaks up for all children targeted by hatred. Writer, journalist, director and stage director, Henriette Chardak has written biographies of Kepler, Pythagoras, Leonardo da Vinci... and an investigation into the health effects of sweeteners (Le light c'est du lourd, Max Milo, 2018).
