Safe Sweetener: Just Like Sugar,
http://www.justlikesugarinc.com Can be found in places like Whole Foods. Made of
chicory and orange peel, Calcium and Vitamin C. Chicory has been used for 70
years to improve the health of diabetics. Dr. Russell Blaylock wrote in his
newsletter, The Blaylock Wellness Report,
http://www.russellblaylockmd.com
"Finally a safe sweetener". Special warning for diabetics: Aspartame can
precipitate diabetes, simulates and aggravates diabetic retinopathy and
neuropathy, destroys the optic nerve, causes diabetics to go into
convulsions, and even interacts with insulin. The free methyl alcohol causes
diabetics to lose limbs. Jeanette Soto, Mission Possible Brookville, Florida
who wrote “Blinded Sight” when her husband lost his sight from aspartame was
unable to get her father-in-law, diabetic off aspartame because of the
addiction. The free methyl alcohol is classified as a narcotic. It causes
chronic methanol poisoning which affects the dopamine system of the brain
and causes the addiction. When Jeanette’s father-in-law, Santiago Echiverria
died it had to be a closed casket, the formaldehyde from the free methyl
alcohol was oozing out of his skin. The American Diabetes Assn was sued in
2004 for racketeering for pushing aspartame on diabetics, but because of
their power got out of it.
Today people are dying of the methanol poisoning. Dr. James Bowen explains:
"Only after longer aspartame usage does liver damage cause blood methanol
levels to measurably rise because the liver mitochondria are so damaged that
the liver no longer quickly processes either methyl or ethyl (drink)
alcohol. Then the acute methanol poisoning is directly measurable from lab
results, as the blood methanol level elevates. This entire sequence or
"toxic axis" begins with your very first dose of aspartame. Both acute and
chronic poisonings from this methanol toxic axis, and other additive and
synergistic aspartame poisonings, steadily accumulate in the aspartame
consumer.” We continue to get reports of people dying of methanol poisoning.
Charles Fleming died and his wife, a Sunday School teacher, remains in a
prison in Virginia. The detective on the case said, “Diane is innocent but
because I was promoted I could not stop the indictment.” Be warned no
diabetic should ever consume wood alcohol. The FDA did no NOAEL on methanol.
Without it you cannot set an ADI, allowable daily intake. It’s 44% too high.

The Lethal Science of Splenda:
http://www.wnho.net/splenda_chlorocarbon.htm
Studies have shown that sucralose can:
*Cause the thymus to shrink by as much as 40% (the thymus is your immune
powerhouse - it produces T cells)
*Cause enlargement of the liver and kidneys
*Reduce growth rate as much as 20%
*Cause enlargement of the large bowel area
*Reduce the amount of good bacteria in the intestines by 50%
*Increase the pH level in the intestines (a risk factor for colon cancer)
*Contribute to weight gain
*Cause aborted pregnancy low fetal body weight
*Reduce red blood cell count
Particular warning to diabetics: Researchers found that diabetic patients
using sucralose showed a statistically significant increase in glycosylated
hemoglobin, a marker that is used to assess glycemic control in diabetic
patients. According to the FDA, "increases in glycosolation in hemoglobin
imply lessening of control of diabetes."
Here is how Splenda is made:
http://www.wnho.net/chemical_processing_of_splenda.htm
Recently, Dr. Morando Soffritti announced a new study on Sucralose which
showed it causes cancer.
Ajinomoto announced a new name for aspartame called AminoSweet. Be warned.
It goes under many names; NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, Naturataste, Canderel,
Benevia, E951, etc. Because the patent has expired it can be used in
anything. You must read labels. Many times it’s hidden in artificial and
natural flavors. Remember that aspartame has a synergistic and additive
effect with MSG. Stuart Pape of the National Yogurt Assn has petitioned the
FDA to allow aspartame unlabeled in yogurt and dairy products. The FDA has
ignored my FOIA request asking if they allowed this, which is illegal.
Acesulfame Potassium (Sunnett) triggered cancer and leukemia in original
studies.

Dear Ms. Oshita:
In reading available information, I assume you want mostly how aspartame
relates to cancer. Indeed it is a carcinogen, proven so by many scientific
studies. Aspartame also triggers many other serious diseases which fill the
1,000+ page medical text, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic,
http://www.sunsentpress.com by H. J. Roberts, M.D. When FDA Commissioner Dr.
Von Eschenbach took office I wrote him about aspartame and cancer, mainly
due to his professed intention to save cancer victims; so much of this has
already been done.
http://www.mpwhi.com/project_recall_aspartame.htm Later 12 toxicologists asked the FDA to ban
aspartame because of the long term Ramazzini studies on large rat
populations showing aspartame is "a multipotential carcinogen".
http://www.cspinet.org/new/pdf/aspartame_letter_to_fda.pdf
Now I'll go back to the beginning.
Aspartame was not approved by science but thru the political chicanery of
Don Rumsfeld. D.C. Attorney James Turner, explains how Rumsfeld did it in
the documentary Sweet Misery, a Poisoned World. Here's a clip from
the movie so you can hear what he said:
http://www.soundandfury.tv/pages/rumsfeld2.html
Searle's problem was they couldn't get studies to show safety. For example,
in the Bressler Report:
http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_news.htm you read where they would excise brain tumors from
the rats, put them back in the study and after they died resurrected them
back on paper. They even filtered out neoplasms to hide them from the FDA.
Repeatedly Searle was caught in this criminal activity.
On January 10, 1977 in a 33 page letter, FDA Chief Counsel Richard Merrill
recommended to the Justice Department Attorney Sam Skinner that a grand jury
investigate Searle for "apparent violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act, 21 USC 331 (e), and the False Reports to the Government Act,
18 U.S.C. 1001, for "their willful and knowing failure to make reports to
the Food and Drug Administration required by the Act, 21 U.S.C 355 (i) and
making false statements in reports of animal studies conducted to establish
the safety of aspartame." The FDA called special attention to studies
investigating the effect of NutraSweet on monkeys and hamsters.
Searle was caught dead to rights, so they hired Skinner, made him a deal he
couldn't refuse. So the former Justice Department prosecutor became a
defender. Next at bat as U. S. Prosecutor was William Conlon, who promptly
switched sides too. By then the statute of limitations had expired. Searle
knew they couldn't win the case so they simply hired the prosecutors. The
Godfather hired the District Attorneys!
Nevertheless the FDA had no intention of approving aspartame. The fraud was
so great that Dr. John Olney (who with James Turner fought against approval
of aspartame ) told Searle to do studies in his lab so he could see that
they were done honestly, with supervision. Dr. Olney believed the FDA
wouldn't approve aspartame because the studies showed it produced brain
damaged. What he didn't anticipate is that Searle didn't submit these
findings to the FDA.
January 30, 1980 the Public Board of Inquiry revoked Searle's petition for
approval declaring that they had "not been presented with proof of
reasonable certainty that aspartame is safe for use as a food additive."
Searle had spent $17 million on an aspartame factory and had no intention of
giving up, poison or no. At this point they hired Donald Rumsfeld who said
he would call in his markers and get it approved anyway. What were those
markers? President Reagan had told Rumsfeld he would be nominated for vice
president, but instead selected Bush number 1.
The day after Reagan took office he appointed Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes as the
new FDA Commissioner, to over-rule the Board of Inquiry. Reagan knew it
would take 30 days to get Hayes to the FDA, so he wrote an Executive Order
making the FDA powerless to do anything about aspartame. At 3 AM that night
a member of Reagan's staff called the FDA Commissioner Jere Goyan and fired
him. Here is a letter from his wife who was there when the terminating call
came in:
http://www.mpwhi.com/letter_about_jere_goyan.pdf
Once aspartame was on the market there was outrage as consumers were
diagnosed with seizures, multiple sclerosis and blindness from the free
methyl alcohol releases. Senator Orrin Hatch, on Monsanto's payroll,
obstructed hearings on aspartame for years, but there were 3 Congressional
hearings from 1985 to l987. Hatch was on Monsanto's payroll, and kept the
bill in committee that would put a moratorium on aspartame until NIH
completed independent studies on the flood of aspartame problems they were
seeing: seizures, blindness, headaches, sexual dysfunction, behavioral
problems, especially in children, drug interactions and birth defects.
About that time Dr. James Bowen wrote FDA that "aspartame is mass poisoning
of the American public and 70 countries" - today over 100.
http://www.dorway.com/drbowen.txt
The good doctor wrote: "For this reason, I am opposed to labeling aspartame
content of food and drinks. To do so would imply that the government is
taking some sort of responsible action....when the only responsible action
would be to immediately take aspartame off the market, fully disclose its
toxicities, offer full compensation to the injured, public and criminally
prosecute anyone who participated in the fraudulent placement of aspartame
on the marketplace."
How was the new FDA Commissioner, Arthur Hayes, get rewarded for over-ruling
the Board of Inquiry? He was hired as a consultant to NutraSweet's PR Agency
on a 10-year contract at $1,000.00 a day, and nobody's heard a peep from him
since, he got lockjaw. Who ever heard of a PR guy who won't talk?
Now they began funding professional organizations ladies-of-the-evening like
the American Diabetes Assn, American Dietetic Assn and numerous others to
propagandize the public with touting asparshame. Of course they also
threatened scientists whose studies identified the toxicity of this poison.
In the UPI Investigation Dr. Wurtman was threatened if he did studies on
aspartame and seizures he would lose his funding. He capitulated. Read this
report on the 8 month investigation by United Press International:
http://www.mpwhi.com/upi_1987_aspartame_report.pdf Dr. Wurtman, too, got a terrible case of aspartame
lockjaw, but MIT still gets the money.
ILSI, the International Life Sciences Institute, was born in 1978 as a
"research" front for our favorite poisoners. Its board members are from
Coke, Pepsi, Searle, Monsanto and the rest of the usual suspects. If a
university won't play their way the get no pay, that is to say, funding for
fake "research".
Over the years many independent studies have been done. The manufacturers
say 200 studies that aspartame is safe as rain. Some of those were the ones
FDA found fraudulent and sought prosecution for, and others were simply
bought and paid for quack studies from rubber duck labs.
Consider seizure studies by Monsanto, they bought Searle in l985:
http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/abuse/seizures.html Seizures are listed 5 times on the FDA report of
92 symptoms that range from male sexual dysfunction to death:
http://www.mpwhi.com/92_aspartame_symptoms.pdf People are having so many seizures and going blind
on aspartame that the Community Nutrition Institute filed a petition to ban
aspartame in l986. Again the manufacturers put in the fix to prevent it from
being banned. They were so worried someone would have a seizure they
actually gave people anti-seizure medication in the Rowan study.'
Another impeccable "study" involved one-day consumption of, believe it or
not: a single capsule of aspartame. Tantamount to smelling the bottle. They
got it peer reviewed with their power. So when consumers complain of
seizures they say "we did studies and aspartame doesn't cause seizures".
I smoked a Lucky once and I'm fine, so nicotine doesn't cause cancer!
They have all bases covered. Today front groups like Calorie Control
Council, with full knowledge that aspartame causes birth defects and mental
retardation actually push the poison:
http://www.wnho.net/mh_aspartame_letter.htm
When 60 Minutes did a story about aspartame and brain tumors the
manufactures claimed to have all these studies showing safety. Dr. Ralph
Walton who was on the show decided to research who funded the "studies":
http://www.dorway.com/peerrev.html Note that 92% of independent peer-reviewed studies
show problems aspartame causes, while those funded or controlled by industry
all say it's safe. If you eliminate 6 studies the FDA, aspartame's branch
office in Washington, messed with, and one pro-aspartame sponsored summary,
100% of independent scientific peer reviewed studies show aspartame
problems.
As Dr. Bowen said: this is mass poisoning of the world. Aspartame destroys
the brain, the optic nerve, the immune system and central nervous system. It
devastates every organ of the body. Epidemic obesity, diabetes, sexual
dysfunction, retinopathy and neuropathy, optic nerve destruction,
convulsions and insulin reactions, MS, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, IQ
depreciation and dozens of other afflictions have been inflicted upon us by
this deadly neurotoxic carcinogenic "sweetener".
According to the prestigious Ecologist, aspartame was listed with the
pentagon in an inventory of prospective biochemical warfare weapons
submitted to Congress.
http://www.mpwhi.com/ecologist_september_2005.pdf
Studies show the horrific damage done to the body. For instance, the Trocho
Study shows the formaldehyde converted from the free methyl alcohol actually
embalms tissue and damages DNA.
http://www.mpwhi.com/formaldehyde_from_aspartame.pdf
Here are summaries of the two aspartame studies, Ramazzini, that showed
aspartame to be a multipotential carcinogen, passed down through the mother:
DR. MORANDO SOFFRITTI, lead researcher on two groundbreaking long-term
aspartame studies. He was recently honored at New York's Mt Sinai School of
Medicine with the Irving J Selikoff Award For his outstanding contributions
to the identification of environmental and industrial carcinogens and his
promotion of independent scientific research. Reviewing his two impeccable
aspartame studies. Dr. Soffritti explains:
The first ERF study (2005) was conducted on 1800 Sprague-Dawley rats
(100-150/per sex/per group) In order to simulate daily human intake,
aspartame was added to the standard rat diet in quantities of 5000, 2500,
100, 500, 20, 4, and 0 mg/Kg of body weight. Treatment of the animals began
at 8 weeks of age and continued until spontaneous death. The results show
that APM causes a statistically significant, dose-related increase of
lymphomas/leukemias and malignant tumors of the renal pelvis in females and
malignant tumors of peripheral nerves in males. These results demonstrate
for the first time that APM is a carcinogenic agent, capable of inducing
malignancies at various dose levels, including those lower than the current
acceptable daily intake (ADI) for humans (50 mg/kg of body weight in the US,
40 mg/kg of body weight in the EU).
The second ERF study (2007) was conducted on 400 Sprague-Dawley rats
(70-95/per sex/per group). In order to simulate daily human intake,
aspartame was added to the standard rat diet in quantities of 100, 20, and 0
mg/Kg of body weight. Treatment of the animals began on the 12th day of
fetal life until natural death. The results of the second study show an
increased incidence of lymphomas/leukemias in female rats with respect to
the first study. Moreover, the study shows that when lifespan exposure to
APM begins during fetal life, the age at which lymphomas/leukemias develop
in females is anticipated. For the first time, a statistically significant
increase in mammary cancers in females was also observed in the second
study. The results of this transplacental carcinogenicity bioassay not only
confirm, but also reinforce the first experimental demonstration of APMs
multipotential carcinogenicity.
Over six years ago I petitioned the FDA to ban aspartame. The FDA has 180
days to answer it. They refuse, obviously because I'm using their own words,
and they don't know how to get around the fact that everything is a matter
of record. If it wasn't so criminal one would have to laugh at their
propaganda - the idea that someone might even consider believing them. For
instance, they will tell you there is just a small amount of methanol, and
there is more in oranges. What they don't say is that in oranges that it is
accompanied by ethanol which is the classic antidote for methanol toxicity
and takes it out of your body safely. Here is a peer reviewed journal
article about it.
http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_methanol_and_public_health.pdf Methanol also binds to pectin. In aspartame there
is no ethanol. Here is their basic propaganda answered with references:

A detox formula for aspartame victims endorsed by Dr. Russell Blaylock,
Neurosurgeon:
http://www.wnho.net.wtdaspartame.htm Available are his excellent books and a CD: "The
Truth About Aspartame"
There are efforts now in states and countries to rid the planet of
aspartame. It is genetically engineered. The manufacturers are get people in
high places addicted. When I testified to the Senate in New Mexico, half the
senators were sipping Diet Coke. Presidents Clinton and Bush were addicted.
Methanol is classified as a narcotic, it causes chronic methanol poisoning.
This effects the dopamine system of the brain producing addiction.
I've lectured in other countries and I can tell you people are sick and
dying the world over on this poison. It would be great to see it banned from
California. First of all it’s illegally on the market because it violates
the Delaney Amendment. Here are comments from an FDA toxicologist, Dr.
Adrian Gross, to Congress on 8/1/85:
Dr. Gross testified that at least one of Searle's studies "has established
beyond ANY REASONABLE DOUBT that aspartame is capable of inducing brain
tumors in experimental animals and that this predisposition of it is of
extremely high significance. ... In view of these indications that the
cancer causing potential of aspartame is a matter that had been established
WAY BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT, one can ask: What is the reason for the
apparent refusal by the FDA to invoke for this food additive the so-called
Delaney Amendment to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act?"
The Delaney Amendment makes it illegal to allow any residues of cancer
causing chemicals in foods. In his concluding testimony Gross asked, "Given
the cancer causing potential of aspartame how would the FDA justify its
position that it views a certain amount of aspartame as constituting an
allowable daily intake or 'safe' level of it? Is that position in effect not
equivalent to setting a 'tolerance' for this food additive and thus a
violation of that law? And if the FDA itself elects to violate the law, who
is left to protect the health of the public?" Congressional Record
SID835:131 (August 1, l985)
Here is my letter to the Assembly Committee on Health which exposes the fact
that it's adulterated:
http://www.mpwhi.com/letter_to_a_n_kim_california_ach.htm The adulteration means it violates interstate
commerce laws.
Consumer power is winning the war against this toxin. Holland Sweetener, the
largest European aspartame producer closed in 2006. Another European maker
also quit. In Japan Tosh stopped making it as well. Merisant, in the USA
went bankrupt for $230,000,000 in January 2009. 47 members of Parliament
signed for a ban in the UK. There is continuing effort to get banned in the
Philippines. Romania banned it in the early 90's because it's carcinogenic.
And now the European Food Safety Authority is doing a review.
Today no drug is safe if the consumer is using aspartame because of the
interaction due to damage to the mitochondria. It's used in hospitals
because of the dietitians making patients even sicker.
The Nutratanic hit the iceberg and Coke & Pepsi are in the lifeboats with
new sweeteners in the works. Japan's Ajinomoto and the USA NutraSweet Co are
still slapping around in the frigid waters of consumer condemnation.
http://www.wnho.net/recipe_for_death.htm
If I can provide further data I'll gladly do so. There is no way to show
safety on aspartame with honest, unbiased studies. Eliminate industry
studies to defend its product and you'll see how deadly is this toxin. Dr.
Bill Deagle said its more deadly than depleted uranium because its
ubiquitous in our food.
