http://www.foodnavigator.com/Science-Nutrition/No-need-to-reconsider-aspartame-opinion-experts/?c=v1rstJo1ERyyGuO0elUIZg%3D%3D&utm_source=newsletter_daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Newsletter%2BDaily  If you review the report you will note every time a damaging study on  aspartame is listed , on the right hand side someone made a comment  not to take it seriously for whatever reason they dreamed up.  This  means that if you took 50 independent researchers who never heard of  aspartame and asked them to do studies, and they found the damaging  results that aspartame causes, industry would put a note that it has  no validity.  This shows that the European Food Safety Authority has  absolutely no validity as an honest independent  government authority  but is drive by industry to safe guard poisons like aspartame.  The case of aspartame (AminoSweet/Equal/E951/NutraSweet/Canderel,  etc.) is well known because its been on the market for over a quarter  of a century.  Keep in mind the FDA not only revoked the petition for  approval but tried to have the manufacturers indicted for fraud.  Don  Rumsfeld was CEO of Searle and said he would call in his markers and  get it on the market.  He was on Reagan's Transition Team, and a  member of the team called the FDA Commissioner who would have signed  the revoked petition into law.  Reagan than wrote an executive order  making the FDA powerless to do anything about aspartame until he  could get Arthur Hull Hayes there to over-rule the Board of Inquiry  and allow aspartame on the market.  Hayes reward was being paid  $1000.00 a day on a ten year contract by NutraSweet's PR firm.   From the day aspartame was put on the market there were  complaints.  There were three Congressional hearings, but Senator  Orrin Hatch refused to have them until 1985.  During the hearings it  was admitted that the FDA was so flooded with constant complaints on  aspartame that they were actually referring them to the AIDS  Hotline.  There were two FDA toxicologists that reviewed aspartame,  Dr. Adrian Gross and Dr. Jacqueline Verrett.  Dr. Gross told Congress  that aspartame violated the Delaney Amendment which forbid putting  anything food you know causes cancer, because of the brain tumors and  brain cancer, and therefore, the FDA should not have been able to  even set an allowable daily dose. Dr. Verrett said all studies on  aspartame were built on a foundation of sand and should be thrown  out.  Testifying in 1987 she said aspartame still had not been proven  to be safe.  Keep in mind aspartame had been on the market since 1981  legally. http://www.mpwhi.com/j_verrett_testimony.pdf  Aspartame had  originally been approved in 1974 but the FDA told them they could not  market it because afterward the approval they started an  investigation of the studies that were fraudulent.  However, I have  received reports they were marketing it anyway.  The Bressler Report  and the Task Force exposed the fraud and the  lies:   http://www.rense.com/general88/hid.htm  Searle actually sued  to get the Task Force report off the record because it was so damning  and reported their lies.  What about studies?  There is no way to take a deadly chemical poison  like aspartame and have it show safety.  Searle tried and this is the  reason FDA wanted them indicted.  They filtered out what they didn't  want FDA to see.  They excised brain tumors from rats, put them back  in the study and when they died resurrected them on paper.  Dr. John  Olney was so disgusted with them he insisted they do studies in his  lab so he could oversee them.  Indeed, the studies showed that  aspartame caused brain damage, so Dr. Olney knew aspartame would  never be approved.  However, he didn't know that Searle never  reported these studies to the FDA.  See it all in the aspartame  documentary, Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World.  Here is a clip where DC  Attorney, James Turner, tells how Rumsfeld got aspartame on the  market after the FDA revoked the petition for  approval:  http://www.soundandfury.tv/pages/rumsfeld.html  In 1996 when Dr. Olney made world news on the aspartame brain tumor  connection he was on 60 Minutes.  Dr. Ralph Walton did research on  scientific peer reviewed studies and funding.  He showed that 92 per  cent of independent, scientific peer reviewed studies showed the  problems aspartame causes and if you remove 6 studies the FDA had  something to do with because of the controversy of them changing  sides, and one pro-aspartame summary, 100% of independent, scientific  peer reviewed studies show aspartame's problems and that it should  not be on the market.  Industry are pros at doing studies to get around showing the  problems.  Here's how they do it.  Scientific Abuse in methanol studies relating to  aspartame:  http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/abuse/methanol.html  In fact, here is scientific abuse in also aspartame Parkinson  research, seizure research, headache research,  etc.  http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/abuse/  I note the European Food Safety Authority didn't mention any of this  although this information was sent to them.  When damning studies are  done against aspartame the aspartame industry always has a flack  rebut them.  How can you get any more damning than the Trocho Study  which shows the formaldehyde converted from the free methyl alcohol  embalms living tissue and damages DNA.  When you damage DNA you can  destroy  humanity.  http://www.mpwhi.com/formaldehyde_from_aspartame.pdf  So  they get a flack to rebut it who admits he used the wrong test, but  the rebuttal remains on the  European Food Standards web site.  Then you have the Ramazzini Studies showing aspartame to be a  multipotential carcinogen causing leukemia, lymphoma, kidney cancer,  etc.  The second study actually shows it only takes a small amount of  aspartame to cause cancer and that if a pregnant woman uses it and  the baby survives (aspartame triggers birth defects) it can be passed  on to the offspring.  Keep in mind these are extremely prestigious  studies peer reviewed by 7 world experts.  What was EFSA to do about these.  The panel blamed the Ramazzini cancers came from respiratory disease.  Dr. Morando Soffritti responded: "CHRONIC PULMONARY INFLAMMATION IS  COMMON IN THE NATURAL DYING PROCESS. MOREOVER, INFLAMMATION WAS  OBSERVED IN BOTH ANIMALS WHO WERE TREATED WITH ASPARTAME AS WELL AS  IN THE CONTROL GROUP.  "The European Ramazzini Foundation conducts what are known as  lifespan mega-experiments, meaning that large groups of rodents are  allowed to live out their natural lifespan and are examined for  histopathological changes upon spontaneous death. This model is in  contrast with most laboratories where rodents are sacrificed at 110  weeks of age (representing about 2/3 of the lifespan). The Ramazzini  study design closely mirrors the human condition in which persons may  be exposed to agents in the industrial and general environments from  embryonic life under natural death. "Since 80% of cancer is diagnosed  in humans over the age of 55, it is of paramount importance to  observe how an agent affects laboratory animals in the last third of  their lives."  The European Food Safety Authority will never apologize for  protecting the aspartame industry and convincing us to consume this  carcinogen. Dr. Soffritti said, "Slides of previous carcinogenesis  studies on aspartame were not reviewed by the AFC panel, ... this  action should have been obligatory in light of the European Ramazzini  Foundation's results, at the very least those involving haemopoietic  and lymphoid organs and tissues." At the highest dose level tested in  the Ramazzini study, 25% of female rats bore lymphomas-leukemias  compared with 8.7% in the control.  "Because of the globalization of the industrialized diet and the  ever-increasing use of artificial sweeteners among billions of people  in both industrialized and developing countries, the European  Ramazzini Foundation considers its work on sweeteners to be of the  highest priority for the protection of public health, in particular  the health of children and pregnant women who are among the most  vulnerable populations."  Dr. Herman Koeter of EFSA finally confessed that industry pressured  them to hijack science, and he is no longer with EFSA.  But EFSA has  not removed the absurd excuse nor apologized to Dr. Soffritti.  It has been known that aspartame causes cancer since the FDA's  admission.  The chemical poison is therefore on the market in  violation of the Delaney Amendment and illegal.  It is also adultered  so it violates interstate commerce laws.  Aspartame has been on the market for over 25 years with continued  complaints with nothing done about it because of the power of  industry.  One of the scientists who left Searle went around the  country telling people NutraSweet was poison.  He told a woman in  Atlanta he wouldn't live to see the day but people would be dropping  dead in the streets from aspartame. What did he mean?  Today we know  that aspartame triggers an irregular heart rhythm, and interacts with  all cardiac medication.  It damages the cardiac conduction system and  causes sudden death.  Today physicians write about in  reports:   http://www.wnho.net/aspartame_msg_scd.htm and http://www.wnho.net/aspartame_and_arrhythmias.htm  The FDA themselves on their report listed 92 symptoms from seizures  and blindness to coma and  death:  http://www.wnho.net/fda_92_symptoms_on_aspartame.htm  They don't even have the decency to put a warning on aspartame that  it causes birth defects and mental  retardation:  http://www.mpwhi.com/report_on_aspartame_and_children.htm  Dr. Louis  Elsas, pediatric professor, genetics, testified before Congress.  Dr. Ralph Walton even went to Italy and testified before EFSA and  explained how aspartame causes seizures and psychiatric problems.  He  let them know in doing a study the reactions were so severe the  institution had to stop it.  The administrator who took part in the  study lost his vision in one eye.  Below is the Aspartame Resource Guide where you will see medical  texts, and other information on the subject.  There are Aspartame  Detoxification Centers, and Mission Possible Intl has operations in  the US and 40 nations warning the world off this deadly  poison.  There is also the UK Aspartame Awareness Campaign. In the 19  years I personally have taken aspartame complaints I have spoken to  victims  or read their cases in the amount of about 50,000.  Dr.  Alemany who did the Trocho Study said aspartame will kill 200  million.  It no doubt probably has considering it triggers the fatal  neurodegenerative diseases, cancers, birth defects, precipitates  diabetes, causes obesity and literally causes people to drop  dead.  Consider the athletes, and even pilots are dropping  dead:  http://www.mpwhi.com/pilot_aspartame_alert.htm  Would you like  to fly with a pilot drinking Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi?  Food Standards in the UK was created to get away from industry and  they do just the opposite.  We have pointed conflicts of interest in  EFSA with the aspartame industry.  Why have EFSA if they can't do  their job because of industry influence,  Everyone there who wants to  have pride in their job should resign like Dr. Koter, for it has now  been established that EFSA is useless and as long as there are those  who will sellout to industry for money or jobs this deadly poison  will go on killing babies, children and your loved ones.  It is  addictive because of the free methyl alcohol which is classified as a  narcotic.  It causes chronic methanol poisoning which affects the  dopamine system of the brain and causes addiction.  We have an  aspartame information list on www.mpwhi.com just to help get these  victims off the poison.  The FDA has let down the American people and ignores petitions for  ban and even the imminent health hazard petition that requires an  answer in a week or ten days.  Ours has been on the FDA books since  2007 without an answer.  Obviously both the US and Europe has given  their loyalty to the deadly aspartame criminals and has betrayed the people.

Box 4010 1001 I Street, 19th floor Sacramento, California 95812-4010 FAX (916) 323-8803  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/>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>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>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>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>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>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>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.  It's 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>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>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.  The 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>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>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>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>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>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:  <http://dorway.com/dorwblog/?page_id=606>http://dorway.com/dorwblog/?page_id=606  A detox formula for aspartame victims endorsed by Dr. Russell  Blaylock, Neurosurgeon:  <http://www.wnho.net.wtdaspartame.htm/>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 its 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>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>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.
