OT-Hello, James Nickel Dr Louis Elsas, Professor of Pediatrics and Genetics at Emory Univ testified 11/3/87 to a Congressional committee: "Aspartame is a well known neurotoxin and teratogen [causes birth defects] which in some as yet undefined dose will ... irreversibly in the developing child or fetal brain produce adverse effects."
In my hand is FDA Senior Science Advisor Adrian Gross' 11/3/87 eleven page letter to Sen. Metzenbaum, describing brain tumors in rats fed aspartame. Gross calls the statistical incidence as "nothing short of astronomically high significance ... we are dealing with a huge time bomb ... the human consumption of aspartame is alarmingly dangerous in that it involves an extremely high and therefore totally unacceptable upper limit on the risk for those consuming aspartame: between 1 in 1,000 and 5 in 1,000 to develop brain tumors."
The bomb has now exploded! Betty has thousands of case histories of aspartame's ravages. The 92 symptoms listed by FDA include fatigue vertigo, anxiety, tinnitus, joint pain, depression, 4 kinds of seizures, blindness, rashes, addiction, headaches, nausea, memory loss, irritability and death.
Some 2,000 pages of this data with numerous doctor's reports in on the website, DORWAY where you'll find links to many other sites. Are you so obdurate as to be unwilling to consider evidence of a worldwide plague? Are you connected with the industry or a marketer of aspartame? Or do you have infinite faith in the FDA and are a True Believer that Corporations Never Lie for Money?
The patent expired on aspartame two years ago. The replacement, Neotame, [NewAsparatame?] is a reshuffled molecule that breaks into the same poisons. Who paid off the soda pop companies, you ask? The American consumer! When the cash registers began to jingle all concerns for public health vanished. Today Betty received e-mail from a man who spends $90/month for addictive poisonous "diet" sodas, and has a dozen advanced symptoms, his life is a wreck. These reports come by the hundreds, a dorway archive lists 1,500 of them.
Aspartame degrades into formaldehyde, methanol, formic acid, diketopiperazine, aspartylphenylaline, beta aspartame, tyrosine, L-Dopa, dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, phenylethalamine, phenypyruvate, phenylactic acid, etc. Trucks carrying aspartame must carry DOT warning placards of toxicity, and an MSDS on exposure toxicity. You should have it on your Diet Coke! Two Federal prosecutors Conley & Stringer were assigned to prosecute the NutraSweet Co for fraudulent submissions for NutraSweet approval. Chicago defense attorneys, Sidney & Austin, hired the prosecution team and the case died from statute-of-limitations expiration. When the Godfather hires the District Attorney you'll never get a conviction!
A. H. Hayes, the FDA Comissioner who approved aspartame over the objections of a Public Board of Inquiry then hired on with NutraSweet's public relations agency, Bursten Marsteller while under investigation for conflict of interests, payola, he took a 10 year contract as a "consultant." Consultant's don't show up for work, they just answer phone calls "How's the weather down there in Bermuda, Artie?"
Thanks for the response. Instead of making sarcastic remarks why don't you check dorway.com and let's transfer this discussion one of the links on that site.
