<*>[Attachment(s) from Dr. Betty Martini,D.Hum. included below]  Dear Catherine Geslain-Laneele:  I have just reviewed your letter to Mr. McDonald  of the UK Aspartame Awareness Campaign.  First, I  would like to see your background.  I can't even  imagine someone sending out such information on  such a well established poison.  To disregard  established evidence shows industry influence  because no one except the manufacturers of such poisons have anything to gain.  First you say, "It was considered in the Opinion  of the Scientific Committee on Food in  2002".  You cannot even consider that review  since OLAF established that the decision was made  by one individual who works at the UK Food Safety  Agency and not by the entire Scientific Committee  on Food.  http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/scf2002-postscript.htm  Secondly, the entire review was of no  validity.  I know because I addressed the EU in  Brussels and brought to them all the damning  information that they did not consider.  They  were given congressional records so they could  see how aspartame was approved through political  chicanery of Don Rumsfeld and not science.  They  did not even include any reports by Dr. H. J.  Roberts, world expert who testified before  Congress, took care of aspartame victims in the  trenches of medical practice, and wrote the  medical text, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored  Epidemic, www.sunsentpress.com  I brought this  medical text with me, and I know they had no  intention of giving a fair review since  neither  Miguel-Angel.Granero-Rosell or  Peter.wagstaffe was interested enough to even  open the cover.  I was wired so there is tape of  the two hour meeting. Secondly, I brought reports  from the Aspartame Toxicity Center which showed  how industry does studies abusing science.  They  were disregarded and those flawed studies  used.  Dr. Monte's scientific peer reviewed  journal article on methanol was not used in the  review even though I brought them a copy.  Here  is a rebuttal of the entire  review:   http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/scf2002.html  So I ask you why did you even include this review  which only proves one thing, the review was dishonest.  What kind of statement is this:  "papers by Dr.  Monte relating to aspartame were reviewed,  although the overall conclusion was that the  opinions presented by Dr. Monte were  unsubstantiated and of insufficient scientific  robustness."  This is the kind of statement that  could only be made by someone who didn't know how  to rebut the scientific evidence that he  presented.  Dr. Monte uses scientific  references.  Just which ones did you not accept  and for what reason?  Dr. Monte has been  researching the issue for a quarter of a  century.  Please explain to me which of your  experts have that much experience on the issue of aspartame and methanol?  The most damning of the scientific peer reviewed  studies is the Trocho  Study  http://www.mpwhi.com/formaldehyde_from_aspartame.pdf  This proved the formaldehyde converted from the  free methyl alcohol embalms living tissue and  damages DNA.  When you damage DNA you can destroy  humanity.  How much more proof do you  need?  Secondly, industry tried to use their  flack, Tephly to rebut it and finally Tephly had  to admit he used the wrong test.  Then the  aspartame industry tried to assassinate his  character.  We're used to these tactics.  The  aspartame industry calls names and does  everything it kind to stop the flow of true  scientific information.  The reason is they can't  debate the issue because you can't debate honest  science.  Even a 11 year old child proved the  breakdown to formaldehyde using Winston  Laboratories.  http://www.nationalexpositor.com/index.php?news=690&vote=5&aid=690&Vote=Vote  Industry influence has even been established when  the Ramazzini Studies were reported.  EFSA tried  to use some lunatic  excuse for the findings of  aspartame being a multipotential carcinogen  causing such things as lymphoma and  leukemia.  Using the fact that rats had  respiratory disease made a lot of scientists  laugh since respiratory disease is the dying  process and would have been expected.  Then Dr.  Koeter resigned and admitted in his words "they  were pressured by industry to hijack  science".  Are we to believe in this case  industry just backed off.  They have close  alliance with government agencies throughout the world.  Talking about the EPA draft, which you did not  enclose or tell us how to find, here is some  information.  The amount of methanol ingested by  heavy consumers of aspartame products could  readily exceed 250 mg. daily.  This is 32 times  the limit of consumption recommended by the  Environmental Protection Agency.  Abuse doses  (100 mg aspartame/kg body weight, or more) result  in significant elevations of blood methanol  concentrations in normal subjects (Stegink  1984).  Moreover the level remains detectable for  eight or more hours. The rate of methanol  elimination in humans is five times slower than  for a similar amount of ethyl alcohol (Forney  1968).  Accordingly, the daily ingestion of  "individually innocuous amounts of methyl  alcohol" could result in "eventual poisonous  effects."  This information comes from Dr. H. J.  Roberts books on the subject (Aspartame  (NutraSweet) Is It Safe? and Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic).  Surely "your experts" understand what methanol  causes like pancreatitis, catdiomyopathy,  metabolic acidosis, blindness, etc.  It appears  you're just disregarding this poison altogether  and think because the statement came from EFSA no proof has to be used.  If EFSA had been serious about a review they  would have invited the experts.  Mission Possible  Intl is a global volunteer force who bring the  world the true and honest research by the  experts  to rebut the propaganda released by  aspartame manufacturers and those they influence  and fund.  Do you think your so called experts  from industry could stand by to world experts on  the subjects like H. J. Roberts, M.D., Russell  Blaylock, M.D., the famed Dr. John Olney who  tried to prevent its approval, Ralph Walton,  M.D.,  Dr. Woodrow Monte, Dr. Morando Soffritti,  and Dr. Maria Alemany.   They have been battling  this issue for as long as three decades.  Now  tell me what kind of background EFSA's experts  have other than i8ndustry influence?  You say EFSA is limited to risk assessment.  You  are assessing a severe metabolic poison which is  known the world over and denying its true toxicity.  You will have to do better than this.  We have  sent you so much information on methanol toxicity  and you are denying it all and giving no proof to  the contrary except that you are still tried to  industry influence. Do you really care so little  for the health of the European people.  For  instance, fetal tissue does not tolerate methanol  in any amount, and there is no warning even for  birth defects.  Here is a letter Dr. Russell  Blaylock wrote to a newspaper when one of the  front groups was pushing aspartame even for  pregnant  women:  http://www.wnho.net/mh_aspartame_letter.htm  Do  they and do you have no shame?  We are talking  about methanol that has been established  throughout the world as a severe metabolic  poison, and EFSA is into risk assessment and is  trying to say its just fine to put in food.  EFSA  has proved only one thing, you're still pressured  by industry to hijack science.
