Date Posted: 20:37:44 07/21/07 Sat In reply to: L. 's message, "Aspartame" on 19:20:18 07/21/07 Sat If you need a sweetner; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevia > > > >The Aspartame Scandal >by Betty Martini >The Thalidomide of the 90's is Aspartame, otherwise >known as Equal, Nutrasweet or Spoonful. >In May, 1992 an article in Flying Safety Magazine >explained the dangers of this ubiquitous substance. >Some people have triggered aspartame related disorders >with doses as small as that carried in a single stick >of chewing gum. This could mean a pilot who drinks >diet sodas is more susceptible to flicker vertigo or >to flicker-induced epileptic activity. It also means >that all pilots are potential victims of sudden memory >loss, dizziness during instrument flight and gradual >loss of vision. Some pilots have experienced grand mal >seizures in the cockpits of commercial airline flights >and have lost medical certification to fly -- and with >it their careers. >The FDA has received more than 10,000 consumer >complaints on Nutra-Poison. That's 80% of all >complaints about food additives, yet they remain >comatose and have done nothing to alert the American >consumer who assumes, since it's so highly advertised, >that it must be safe as mother's milk. >If you are using aspartame and have headaches, >depression, slurred speech, loss of memory, >fibromyalgia type symptoms, loss of sensation in lower >legs or shooting pains, loss of equilibrium, vertigo, >anxiety attacks, chronic fatigue, vision loss, >floaters, retinal detachment, seizures, heart >palpitations, etc., you have Aspartame Disease! Many >physicians are diagnosing multiple sclerosis when in >reality it is methanol toxicity which mimics MS. Get >off this dangerous drug right away. MS is not a death >sentence, but methanol toxicity is! >Fifty-one percent of FDA approved drugs have serious >risks and could cause adverse reactions that lead to >severe or permanent disability or death. The Center >for Disease Control, Johns Hopkins University and the >New Jersey School of Medicine estimate that >80,000-120,000 Americans are killed by prescription >drugs every year. That this atrocious holocaust >persists has everything to do with money and nothing >to do with public health. Monsanto reaps $2 billion >per year from the Aspartame toxic bonanza. This can >buy a lot of bureaucrats! Does FDA mean Fatal Drugs >Allowed? The FDA works for industry, not citizens. FDA >head Arthur Hayes overruled his own board of inquiry >to approve aspartame and then went to work for their >public relations firm. Federal attorney Sam Skinner >was assigned to prosecute Searle for fraudulent tests >in their application, but switched sides and went to >work for Searle's lawyers and the case died when the >statute of limitations ran out. Honest FDA >toxicologist, the late Dr. Adrian Gross, wrote to >Senator Howard Metzenbaum: "The views of the FDA's >Center for Food Safety read like a script written for >Abbott & Costello in the sense of their having >perceptions inside-out and upside-down. ... FDA may >have gone through the motions. ... such a 'process' or >dance represents a farce and a mockery." >Aspartame is a molecule composed of three components: >aspartic acid, phenylalanine and methanol. Methanol is >wood alcohol that has killed or blinded thousands of >skid row drunks. It converts into formaldehyde and >formic acid (ant sting poison) in the gut. >Formaldehyde, a deadly neurotoxin, is common embalming >fluid, a Class A carcinogen. Phenylalanine is also >neurotoxic when unaccompanied by the other amino acids >in proteins. Aspartic acid causes brain lesions and >neuroendocrine disorders in experimental animals. >There are 92 documented symptoms including headaches, >numbness, fatigue, blurred vision, heart palpitations, >memory loss, dizziness, muscle spasms, weight gain, >seizures, rashes, blindness, tachycardia, tinnitus, >joint pain, nausea, depression , hearing loss, >irritability, slurred speech, anxiety attacks, loss of >taste, vertigo and insomnia. >Nutrasweet is in about 9,000 foods and on every >restaurant table for the same reasons tobacco is >everywhere: Greed, Addiction and Profit! The >NutraSweet Company and sister Searle, whose chemists >discovered aspartame while testing an ulcer drug, are >owned by Monsanto. If you are taking other medicine, >consider possible reactions you may have. In 1969, >Searle approached Dr. Harry Waisman to study the >effects of aspartame on primates. Seven infant monkeys >were fed the chemical in milk. One died after 300 >days; five others had grand mal seizures. Searle >deleted these findings when they submitted this study >to the FDA! The best way to understand NutraSweet is >to think of it as a minute dose of nerve gas that >eradicates brain and nerve functions. Some diseases >triggered by aspartame include brain tumors and other >cancers, Alzheimers, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, >epilepsy, mental retardation, fibromyalgia, lymphoma, >Graves disease, birth defects, chronic fatigue >syndrome, systemic lupus, Epstein Barr, Parkinsons and >... death! >Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology >surveyed 80 people who suffered brain seizures after >eating or drinking products with aspartame. Said the >Community Nutrition Institute: "These 80 cases meet >the FDA's own definition of an imminent hazard to the >public health, which requires the FDA to expeditiously >remove a product from the market." >America is seeing a tremendous increase in seizures. >Phenylalanine in aspartame lowers the seizure >threshold in the brain and blocks serotonin >production. Today our nation is swept by a rage of >violence. Researchers attribute this in part to low >brain serotonin levels inducing depression, rage and >paranoia. So President Clinton, Diet Coke in hand, >programs billions of dollars to buy penitentiaries for >the paranoid. Fetal tissue cannot tolerate methanol >and Dr. James Bowen calls NutraSweet instant birth >control. The fetal placenta can concentrate >phenylalanine and cause mental retardation. Aspartame >tests on animals produced brain and mammary tumors. No >wonder breast cancer is growing exponentially! During >Operation Desert Storm truckloads of diet drinks >cooked in the Arabian sun and at 86 degrees aspartame >liberates methanol in the can! Thousands of service >men and women returned home with chronic fatigue >syndrome and weird toxic symptoms. >On July 28, 1993 the National Soft Drink Association >drafted a 30-page protest questioning the safety of >aspartame in soft drinks.

The formaldehyde >stores in the fat cells, particularly on the hips and >thighs. Drink diet soda, get fat now and later develop >seizures, diabetes, blindness, Epstein Barr, MS, >depression and death. >Similarly, the American Diabetic Association, which >now receives mega-funds from NutraSweet, ignored a >1987 abstract submitted by Dr. H. J. Roberts (world >expert on aspartame and diabetic specialist) >summarizing 58 diabetic aspartame reactors. He says: >"I now advise all patients with diabetes and >hypoglycemia to avoid aspartame products." In his book >Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills, Russell Blaylock, >MD, a neurosurgeon, says aspartame may trigger >clinical diabetes! He says that excitotoxins such as >NutraSweet literally stimulate neurons to death, >causing brain damage of varying degrees. "What really >concerns me about aspartame," he says, "is its >association with brain tumors as well as pancreatic, >uterine and ovarian tumors. ... and that so many >develop an Alzheimers-like syndrome with prolonged >exposure." >NutraSweet/Equal/Spoonful are the deadliest toxins in >our society because of their ubiquitous presence in >thousands of foods, even vitamins, medicines, Kool >Aid, Jell-O, diet foods and the packets on every >restaurant table.
