- Dear Mrs. Martini,
-
- I have read both the details you have supplied about
the death of Charles Fleming and the imprisonment of his wife Diane for
alleged methyl alcohol (methanol) poisoning, and the autopsy report signed
by the pathologist and toxicologist involved in the case.
-
- On the basis of the prodigious amounts of aspartame products
he consumed and the finding of a severe fatal metabolic acidosis, coupled
with a high concentration of methanol in the blood and no other reasonable
explanation, I concur with the cause of death as methanol poisoning - in
this case due to considerable methanol consumption in the form of aspartame
products.
-
- I have devoted more than two decades to the study of
aspartame disease, which I so named, and have published extensively thereon
in the form of more than two dozen published articles and letters, and
five books. I detailed the free methanol content of such products and
the considerable pharmacologic and clinical consequences thereof - including
addiction and probable death. An extensive chapter is devoted to this
subject in my recent 1000 page text, ASPARTAME DISEASE: AN IGNORED EPIDEMIC.
(A brochure is enclosed; bibliography furnished on request.)
-
- If the facts about this case that have been reviewed
are correct, it is my firm opinion that Diane Fleming should be immediately
freed from wrongful imprisonment to rejoin her family. Furthermore, the
FDA should be so advised by the court, and recommend that aspartame products
be labeled as an imminent health threat, and either so labeled or removed
from the market.
-
- Yours truly,
