Scientific peer reviewed research on aspartame is multiplying including two studies, one linking diet drinks to obesity and on in Italy showing aspartame causes lymphoma, leukemia, cancer of the kidneys and cranial peripheral nerves. Only rats fed aspartame developed malignant brain tumors. The lead researcher, Dr. Soffritti, declared aspartame a multipotential carcinogen:

Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D., wrote parents should be terrified. Paper below.
 
Last week the New York Times discussed the Italian study peer reviewed by 7 world experts.

Above this article you will get an update on what is going on in New Mexico where a letter signed by 10 Senators including the head of the Judiciary Committee declared to the Governor that New Mexico is in a state of public emergency because of the use of aspartame.
 
Immediately the propaganda mills begin to grind as they do whenever the truth is publicized. Dr. David Katz on ABC attempted to allay the fears of the public. He would have you believe the carcinogenic properties of aspartame can be compared with such things as broccoli. There are only two things wrong with his critique of the 3 year Italian study, and that is that his facts are wrong and his conclusions are wrong. Clearly he didn't even read the study!

Aspartame manufacturers themselves are working to get the US to ignore this impeccable study by saying it doesn't go along with the research they paid for. From the beginning it was known aspartame causes cancer. It's all in the government records. Read Aspartame Makers Tell A Whopper:

Ajinomoto said because of my lecture tour in the UK the European Union did an investigation, and everything was just fine. When word gets out their tactic is to say they're investigating, disregard all the damning evidence and tell the world not to worry. I brought the European Union official records, the Board of Inquiry report revoking the petition for approval, Dr. John Olney's testimony to the Board on how aspartame will damage the brains of children, independent scientific peer reviewed studies showing the problems aspartame triggers, and even information on industry's "flawed" studies and how they're done. The EU disregarded all the damning information, but they were not aware I was wired. Here is the rebuttal to the report:

The entire investigation was just a setup so they could once again say aspartame was safe, while all the damning information was in front of them ignored.
 
The worst of the aspartame front groups is the Calorie Control Council, right here in Atlanta. When aspartame is written about by the Idaho Observer they rear their head with a bunch of propaganda.
 
When I was on Jay Foster's radio program in Miami they acknowledged I was being interviewed but declared aspartame safe. Jay sent me their propaganda sheet. Their deceit would be laughable if it wasn't for the vast damage they do to mislead the public. I thought the CCC couldn't stoop lower until they did what neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D., called the most serious breech of public trust in the history of this nation.
 
Aspartame is an abortifacient and teratogen, causing birth defects and mental retardation. http://www.wnho.net/aspartame_murders_infants.htm
Dr. Louis Elsas, Pediatric Professor, Genetics, testified before Congress

The Trocho Study in Barcelona in l998 showed that the formaldehyde converted from the free methyl alcohol in aspartame accumulates in the cells and damages DNA with most toxicity in the liver. Some heavy users report high liver enzyme studies.
 
The Calorie Control Council has full knowledge of this. They are the aspartame manufacturer's front group, and I've sent them the above. Now with full knowledge they write the Miami Herald recommending aspartame for women during pregnancy and those with liver disease. There is a warning on aspartame for phenylketonurics ( those who cannot metabolize phenylalanine). Fifty per cent of aspartame is phenylalanine, so this can be fatal. They even suggest its safe for phenylketonurics.
 
Here is Dr. Blaylock's letter to the Miami Herald saying this is the most serious breech of public trust in the history of this nation. http://www.wnho.net/mh_aspartame_letter.htm
Title 18, Section 1001 makes it a crime to premeditatedly mislead the public. Ironically, it was Title 18, Section 1001 that the FDA themselves used to request that the original manufacturer be indicted for fraud. Unfortunately, both US Prosecutors hired on with the defense team and the statute of limitations expired.
 
Aspartame was not approved by science but by Don Rumsfeld's politics as Attorney James Turner, who with Dr. John Olney fought approval, explains in the film Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World. See clip from the documentary. http://www.soundandfury.tv/pages/Rumsfeld2.html For a copy go to amazon.com or Barnes & Noble. There is also a form on the front page of www.wnho.net
 
92% of "independent" scientific peer reviewed studies show the problems aspartame causes: http://www.dorway.com/doctors.html#walton Dr. Ralph Walton says if you eliminate 6 studies involving the FDA and a pro-aspartame summary, 100% OF INDEPENDENT SCIENTIFIC PEER REVIEW STUDIES SHOW THE PROBLEMS. Any study controlled by the manufacturer should be questioned.
 
The FDA list 92 symptoms including four types of seizures, coma and death. http://www.dorway.com/badnews.html#symptoms
H. J. Roberts, M.D. declared aspartame disease a global plague and published a 1038 page medical text which describes additional symptoms and diseases and tumors triggered by this toxin. Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, www.sunsentpress.com or 1 800 827 7991
 
We have an Aspartame Information List which also acts as a support group for the sick and disabled by this toxin on www.wnho.net Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D., wrote a report to help victims: What To Do If You Have Used Aspartame: http://www.wnho.net/wtdaspartame.htm His excellent books include Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills, www.russellblaylockmd.com He also has a newsletter on NewsMax. Doctors are setting up aspartame detoxification centers.
 
I just returned from a Press Conference in New Mexico where very courageous Stephen Fox, tried to have a ban-aspartame bill passed and petitioned the Environmental Improvement Board and the Board of Pharmacy to ban it. Aspartame interacts with all drugs and vaccines: http://www.wnho.net/aspartame_interacts.htm The lobbyists and flacks were there by the multitude. I tried to talk to the Calorie Control Council rep. He ran off like a scared rabbit.
 
Ten Senators signed a letter to the Governor declaring New Mexico to be in a state of public health emergency because of aspartame. Dr. Blaylock's letter about the Calorie Control Council and Dr. Roberts paper, FDA Approved Epidemic, were distributed to the legislature. Some received the aspartame documentary Sweet Misery, as well as the Ecologist with a 17 page story.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Senator Gerald Ortiz y Pino who sponsored the bill. No doubt the lobbyists with the morals of rapists preyed on his mind. Today he wrote this letter:
 
Date: Sat, 18 Feb 2006
From Senator Gerald Ortiz y Pino -
Aspartame Buys Time
By Senator Jerry Ortiz y Pino
2-19-6
 
Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to the corrosive influence of money on our public policy. I'm not just talking about the shenanigans inside the beltway of our nation's capitol-that Congress is for sale to the highest bidder has unfortunately become a practically accepted tenet of the American belief system.
 
So accepted is it that the astounding arrogance and venality being revealed by the current Tom Delay and Jack Abramoff scandals in the District of Columbia scarcely produce raised eyebrows, let alone outrage.
 
But I'm not just talking about that.
 
Nor am I talking only about the way that moneyed interests are able to sway local government toward policies that benefit those interests; hey, we apparently prefer a system in which local elections go to the highest bidder and business-as-usual involves twisting contractors' arms to secure campaign contributions.
 
Instead, today I'd like to zero-in on the pressure applied to our third level of representative government, the carryings-on that occur in the halls of State Government ... in all its branches.
 
And from among at least a dozen recent, painful examples of how big business manages to protect itself from such wet-blanket considerations as the good of the public, I'd like to select one as a representative: the continued approval of the reliance by processed food and beverage manufacturers on the chemical aspartame.
 
As an artificial sweetener, one now being added to some 6,000 products, it is difficult for most Americans to not consume aspartame daily. Its safety (and clearing up any doubts about that safety) would seem to be of critical importance to millions of us. But any discussion of this topic has been postponed in New Mexico indefinitely-through influence exerted by representatives hired by the Japanese manufacturer of aspartame, the Ajinomoto Corporation.
 
Those well-connected hired hands managed, in December, to frighten the State Environmental Improvement Board (EIB) into backing off of the public hearings into aspartame's safety that they had originally agreed to conduct this coming summer. They managed this delay by challenging the authority of the State of New Mexico to review anything already approved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and by threatening to sue the state if we tried to do so.
 
Then those same hired hands resurfaced (augmented by the addition to their team roster of Butch Maki, a close confidant of Gov. Bill Richardson) in time to quash all attempts to discuss the matter during the just-concluded State Legislature.
 
There was one hearing on the subject and it drew significant numbers of the industry lobbyists, all of whom asserted the same party line: The substance is perfectly safe; the Federal Government has looked at it carefully and who the heck is New Mexico, anyway, to raise any questions about it?
 
The committee succumbed, and turned down the measure to ban aspartame 7-2.
 
That half-hour hearing was the total discussion of the matter this year in the public arena in New Mexico, unless the EIB board changes its mind and decides to call Ajinomoto's bluff by going ahead and holding a hearing.
 
The incredible spectacle of corporate hirelings exerting this kind of influence is, to our great shame, all too common in our state. The Legislature has resisted reforming campaign finance laws to inject some real muscle, which leaves the door wide open to the corporate powers to throw money around strategically, buying whatever access they need or blocking their opposition's access to the policymakers.
 
But no one should be surprised that Ajinomoto would rely on muscle to protect its profits from aspartame. The entire history of this product's approval by the FDA is rife with muscle flexing ... and very little in the way of science. Originally, it was a patent of the Searle Pharmaceutical Company. And beginning in the late '60s, the FDA repeatedly turned down Searle's submissions for approval, the results of its testings leaving serious doubts in the minds of FDA scientists.
 
All of that changed in 1981 when Ronald Reagan took the presidency. He listened to the then head of Searle, Donald Rumsfeld, (yes, that Donald Rumsfeld) who bypassed the scientists and went straight to the new Reagan appointee at FDA. Within weeks, the scientists were overruled and aspartame was approved. Several FDA scientists resigned in protest. They even alleged that Searle had fabricated results in the testing submitted.
 
Twenty-five years later, the evidence is mounting that our growing incidence of brain tumors, organ cancers and neurological diseases has followed the introduction of so many artificially created additives and chemicals in our food. It's only a matter of time until even Ajinomoto's money won't be able to block the unavoidable link between these unnecessary products and our decline in health.
 
When that happens, as it finally did to tobacco and lead and other heavy metals found in gasoline, we will act. The sad thing is that thousands of deaths and ruined lives will occur between now and then.
 
One of the cruel ironies to aspartame is that it was supposed to create sugar-free soft drinks for the benefit of diabetics. Since its introduction, the incidence of diabetes has soared. Some critics link the two. What is clear is that it ain't helping.
 
With all that money and muscle behind it, aspartame has evaded its comeuppance for another year. But the final reckoning can only be postponed, not avoided.
 
End of the Senator's letter
 
Last month there was still another study: http://www.wnho.net/new_greek_aspartame_studies.htm
Bottom line: Alzheimers
 
We are now taking aspartame brain tumor cases in New York and New Jersey for litigation, three year statute of limitations.
 
When I think of the Calorie Control Council sending out press releases trying to prevent the public from believing these studies, as they have done since the New York Times article, I think of the millions of babies murdered in their mother's womb as the CCC pushes this toxin on pregnant women. May they receive within themselves the recompense for their error, and may Jehovah God see to it, and add to it.
