- Aspartame: The world agrees it's safe By Michael Carakostas,
DVM, PhD
- Director, Scientific and Regulatory Affairs, Coca-Cola
-
- It is commendable that Carakostas mentions the core problem,
albeit disparagingly: "During digestion, aspartame yields a very
small amount of methanol-- as do many other food substances. The body converts
this methanol to formaldehyde, which is instantly converted to formate.
Formate is quickly eliminated as carbon dioxide and water."
-
- Plenty of evidence in the mainstream scientific literature
since 1973 shows that as much as 30% of the formaldehyde is retained in
the body as toxic, cumulative adducts to the DNA, RNA, and proteins in
all cells and tissues, leading to pointed reports by informed doctors and
experts. Clearly, there are no safe levels for chronic, low-level formaldehyde
exposure. If just 10% of the methanol from six cans of diet soda is retained
in the body as toxic products of formaldehyde and formic acid, that is
sixty times the EPA limit for allowable formaldehyde from daily drinking
water.

- "Formaldehyde and acetaldehyde were found to produce
an increase in total malignant tumors in the treated groups and showed
specific carcinogenic effects on various organs and tissues. PMID: 12562630"
-
- It is certain that high levels of aspartame use, above
2 liters daily for months and years, must lead to chronic formaldehyde-formic
acid toxicity, since 11% of aspartame (1,120 mg in 2L diet soda, 5.6 12-oz
cans) is 123 mg methanol (wood alcohol), immediately released into the
body after drinking (unlike the large levels of methanol locked up in molecules
inside many fruits), then quickly transformed into formaldehyde, which
in turn becomes formic acid, both of which in time are partially eliminated
as carbon dioxide and water.
-
- However, about 30% of the methanol remains in the body
as cumulative durable toxic metabolites of formaldehyde and formic acid--
37 mg daily, a gram every month. [J. Nutrition 1973 Oct; 103(10): 1454-1459.
Metabolism of aspartame in monkeys. Oppermann JA, Muldoon E, Ranney RE.]
If 10% of the methanol is retained as formaldehyde, that would give 12
mg daily formaldehyde accumulation, about 60 times more than the 0.2 mg
from 10% retention of the 2 mg EPA daily limit for formaldehyde in water.

All had undergone multiple treatment modalities with limited success.
All had complete, or nearly complete, resolution of their symptoms within
months after eliminating monosodium glutamate (MSG) or MSG plus aspartame
from their diet. All patients were women with multiple comorbidities prior
to elimination of MSG. All have had recurrence of symptoms whenever MSG
is ingested.
