Aspartame - The World?s Best Ant Poison
contributed by Jan
Jensen of
WELLthy Choices
We live in the woods and carpenter ants are a huge problem. We
have
spent thousands of dollars with Orkin and on ant poisons trying
to keep
them under control but nothing has helped.
So when I read somewhere that aspartame (Nutrasweet) was
actually
developed as an ant poison and only changed to being considered
non-poisonous after it was realized that a lot more money could
be made on it as a
sweetener than as an ant poison, I decided to give it a try.
I opened two packets of aspartame sweetener, and dumped one in
a
corner of each of our bathrooms. That was about 2 years ago and
I have not
seen any carpenter ants for about 9 to 12 months. It works
better than
the most deadly poisons I have tried. Any time they show up
again, I
simply dump another package of Nutrasweet in a corner, and they
will be
gone for a year or so again.
Since posting this information I have had many people tell me
of their
success solving ant problems with this substance, when nothing
else
worked.
We found later that small black ants would not eat the
aspartame. It
was determined that if you mixed it with apple juice, they would
quickly
take it back to the nest, and all would be dead within 24 hours,
usually. I have found that sometimes it will kill them, and
sometimes it does
not. Not sure why, may be slightly different species of ants or
something.
Fire Ants: We got our first fire ant hill about 2 weeks ago.
Poison
did not work. We tried aspartame and the ants ignored it until
we got a
light rain. It was just a sprinkle, enough to moisten the
Nutrasweet and
ground, but not enough to wash it away. They went crazy,
hundreds of
them grabbing it and taking it back into the mound. When I
checked the
mound 2 days later, there was no sign of the fire ants. I even
dug the
mound up some, and still saw none of them.
How does it Work: Aspartame is a neuropoison. It most likely
kills the
ants by interfering with their nervous system. It could be
direct, like
stopping their heart, or something more subtle like killing
their sense
of taste so they can?t figure out what is eatable, or smell, so
they
can?t follow their trails, or mis-identify their colonies
members, so
they start fighting each other. Not sure what causes them to end
up dying,
just know that for many species of ants it will kill them
quickly and
effectively.
As with any poison I recommend wearing gloves and washing any
skin
areas that come in contact with this poison, and avoid getting
it in your
mouth, despite anything the labeling may indicate.
I suspect it will work for other insects such as yellow jackets
as
well, but have not tested that yet.
More information on this fantastic poison can be found at:

Note: I followed the above link and felt even better about
EVERY
single time I have attempted to educate someone about the
toxicity of
aspartame.


Government Says Aspartame Is Good
For You
AP calls study independent, omits previous human studies showing
Aspartame danger
Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | April 5 2006
The deadly toxin Aspartame which is
included in more than 6,000 food and drink products around the world is good for you
according to a new government study. The Associated Press falsely labels the results as
independent and omits referencing previous human studies undertaken by groups with no
corporate or government ties that concluded the opposite.
Associated
Press health correspondent Marilynn Marchione seems to revel in suggesting
the study is beyond reproach because it uses human subjects rather than rats.
"A huge federal study in people --
not rats -- takes the fizz out of arguments that the diet soda sweetener aspartame might
raise the risk of cancer," smarms the article in an attempt to discredit last year's Italian
study which linked aspartame to an increased risk of leukaemias and lymphomas
in female lab rats "at doses very close to the acceptable daily intake for
humans."
In putting the study in this context,
the Associated Press has lied by omission. Numerous independent controlled studies (not
ones conducted by corporations or government) using human subjects have concluded that
aspartame is deadly. They are Camfield (1992), Elsas (1988), Gulya (1992), Koehler (1988),
Kulczycki (1995), Spiers (1988), Van Den Eeden (1994), Walton (1993). Why doesn't the AP
mention any of these studies?
Why doesn't the AP mention the fact that
"out of 90 independently-funded studies, 83 of them found one or more
problems caused by aspartame. But out of the 74 studies funded by the aspartame industry
(e.g., Monsanto, G.D. Searle, ILSI, etc.), every single one of them claimed that no
problems were found?"

The AP immediately draws the conclusion
that the study was, "done by reputable researchers independent of any funding or ties
to industry groups."
The AP cites the Center For Science in
the Public Interest as praising the results of the study. CFSPI is a
Rockefeller front organization that also receives funding from Ted Turner's Nuclear Threat
Initiative. Its board of directors is also littered with former government henchmen,
including former FDA officials.
Having the federal government conduct
studies that heavily impact profits of major corporations depending on the results and
calling them independent is like Charles Manson being judged by Jeffrey Dahmer. In the
21st century of corporate fascism the two are inseparable from one another.
The Aspartame controversy is noted for
the fact that it explicitly connects government conflicts of interest with corporations.
Donald Rumsfeld became the chief executive officer of a worldwide pharmaceutical G.D.
Searle & Company (later bought out by Monsanto) in 1977, 12 years after aspartame was
discovered by G.D. Searle chemist James Schlatter.
A story by Rishi Mehta, associate
commentary editor for the University of Connecticut Daily Campus newspaper, points out the
following: In 1981, after over 15 years of FDA disapproval of aspartame, Rumsfeld
said in a Searle sales meeting that he would use political rather than scientific
means to finally get FDA approval. Only 20 days later, Ronald Reagan was sworn in as
40th President of the United States, appointing Rumsfeld as Special Envoy to the Middle
East and Arthur Hayes Hull Jr. - a friend of Rumsfeld's - to FDA commissioner."

If one of the most influential members
of the current administration has publicly stated that he would use political pressure to
force the acceptance of aspartame would it would therefore overwhelmingly be in the
interest of a federal government study to conclude that the use of aspartame was
acceptable?
Yes.
Therefore the study is not independent
and it is not credible.
Futhermore, the FDA has been caught
in the past removing negative data from government studies that indicated
aspartame was dangerous to humans.
According to consumer rights group
Mission Possible, "Since its 1981 approval, the FDA has published a list of 92
symptoms of aspartame poisoning, which includes headaches, vision loss including
blindness, seizures, neurological problems, cardiovascular problems and death. The FDA
admits adverse reactions to aspartame comprise about 80 percent of consumer complaints it
receives each year."
Proponents of aspartame are like the
idiots in the 50's who said there were no health dangers in smoking. Moves by British
parliamentarians and bills such as one
in New Jersey calling for the outright banning of aspartame in all foods
should be supported and this poison-peddling industry shut down.

Breaking News: Member of Parliament Calls for Ban
on Aspartame
Aspartame's time to be banned is long overdue.
It should never
have been approved in the first place. Even the FDA revoked the
petition for approval. In the aspartame documentary, Sweet
Misery: A Poisoned World, www.docworkers.com Attorney James Turner explains how Don
Rumsfeld called in his markers to get it
approved. See the clip: http://www.soundandfury.tv/pages/Rumsfeld2.html
Rumsfeld was on Reagan's transition team and the day after he took office
he appointed Arthur Hull Hayes as FDA Commissioner to get it
approved. So concerned it would take 30 days to get Hayes there
President Reagan actually wrote an executive order making the current
FDA Commissioner powerless to do anything about aspartame until Hayes arrived.
What political clout. Somebody needs to ask Rumsfeld to go into more
detail about those markers he held. After Hayes arrived
at FDA a scientific Board of Inquiry was convened and the petition
for approval of this deadly neurotoxin was revoked because it
triggered brain tumors, and never proven safe. Hayes over-ruled the
Board and went to work for the PR Agency of the manufacturer and has
refused to talk to the press ever since.
H. J. Roberts, M.D., who testified before Congress warned at his
first press conference if something wasn't done then we would have a
global plague on our hands in five or ten years. And indeed it was
Dr. Roberts who declared Aspartame Disease to be a global plague and
published a 1038 page medical text, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored
Epidemic, www.sunsentpress.com
Having poisoned the world more and more consumers call the plague -
Rumsfeld Disease. Obviously had he not called in those bloody
markers the revoked petition for approval would have prevented the
marketing of this chemical poison for human consumption and the
disability and death it causes. Cori Brackett and J. T. Walden,
co-owners of Sound and Fury Productions who produced Sweet Misery
will soon have a new documentary to release titled Sweet
Remedy. A remedy is needed to save aspartame victims. Cori
Brackett is an aspartame victim who was diagnosed with MS. Off
aspartame she walked out of her wheelchair to make this film. Eight
months off aspartame her large lesion all but disappeared.
Obviously the first step is a ban and efforts continue around the
world. Stephen Fox has petitioned the Environmental Improvement
Board and Board of Pharmacy to ban it from New Mexico.
http://www.wnho.net/viva_new_mexico.htm
Robin Goodwin has asked for a ban in the Falkland Islands and Lane Shore has
asked it be
removed from schools in Illinois. Attorneys are taking aspartame
brain tumor cases in New York, New Jersey, Madison County Illinois
and Mississippi. See form on www.wnho.net
Aspartame is marketed as NutraSweet, Equal, E951, Canderel, Benevia,
etc. For those who have used the toxin, neurosurgeon Russell
Blaylock, M.D., wrote "What To Do If You Have Used
Aspartame": http://www.wnho.net/wtdaspartame.htm
For the whole story and time line read the Ecologist's cover
story, "The Shocking Story of the World's Best Selling

Read on for the breaking news. I leave the aspartame manufacturers
who with full knowledge knew they were marketing a neurotoxic drug,
the words of Mohammed Ali: "You can run but you can't hide!"
And
especially today we add the immortal admonition of another great
athlete, baseball's Satchel Paige: "Never look back, something might

MP calls for ban on 'unsafe' sweetener
Felicity Lawrence, consumer affairs correspondent
Thursday December 15, 2005
The Guardian <http://www.guardian.co.uk>
A member of the parliamentary select committee on food and the environment yesterday
called for emergency action to ban the artificial sweetener aspartame, used in 6,000
food, drink and medicinal products.
The Liberal Democrat MP Roger Williams said in an adjournment debate in the Commons
that there was "compelling and reliable evidence for this carcinogenic substance
to be banned from the UK food and drinks market altogether".
In licensing aspartame for use, regulators around the world had
failed in their main task of protecting the public, he told MPs.
Mr Williams highlighted new concerns about the additive's safety, raised by a
recent Italian study that linked it to cancer in rats. He said the history of
aspartame's licensing put "regulators and politicians to shame", with
the likes of Donald Rumsfeld, the US defence secretary and former head
of Searle, the company that discovered the sweetener, "calling in his
markers" to get it approved.
Responding for the government, the public health minister, Caroline Flint, said a
thorough independent review of safety data had been conducted as recently as 2001 and
the Food Standards Agency advice remained the same: aspartame is safe for use in
food. She said the government took food safety very seriously. The European Food
Safety Authority would be reviewing the Italian study as soon as it had full data on
it, but an initial review by the UK's expert committee on toxicity had not been
convinced by its authors' interpretation of their data. "I am advised that
aspartame does not cause cancer," she said, adding that artificial sweeteners
also help to control obesity.
Aspartame is now consumed on average every day by one in 15 people
worldwide, most of whom are children, according to the MP. It is used to
sweeten no fewer than 6,000 products, from crisps, confectionery, chewing gums,
diet and sports drinks to vitamin pills and medicines, including those for children. Yet
the science that supported its approval was "biased, inconclusive and
incompetent".
Mr Williams said he was using the immunity he was afforded under
parliamentary privilege to initiate a debate about aspartame's safety which had
been largely repressed since the early 1980s, with the help of the sweetener
industry's lawyers.
Independent research published last month by the European Ramazzini
Foundation showed moderate regular consumption of aspartame led to a repeated
incidence of malignant tumours in rats and "should have set alarm bells ringing
in health departments around the world", he said. "The World Health
Organisation recognises such findings in rats as being highly predictive of a carcinogenic
risk for humans. The contrast between the quality of the science in the Ramazzini
study and the industry studies could not be more clear and more damaging to the
industry." Mr Williams, the MP for Brecon and Radnorshire and
a Cambridge science graduate, said he had been looking into the safety of aspartame
for more than a year. At first he had been unconvinced by the "internet
conspiracy theories" but he said what he had found had "truly
horrified" him.
Sound science and proper regulatory and political independence had been notable by
their absence from the approval of aspartame, he said. In addition to Mr Rumsfeld
being instrumental in securing aspartame's approval, with the support of the then
newly elected president Ronald Reagan, there had been numerous examples of decision
makers who were worried about aspartame's safety being discredited or being removed
from their positions.
Industry sympathisers had been appointed to replace them and were in
turn recompensed with lucrative jobs working for the sweetener industry. The
European Food Safety Authority said last night that it planned to review the safety
of aspartame as "a matter of high priority" in the light of the Ramazzini
Foundation study. The foundation's director, Dr Morando Soffritti, said he expected
to send the authority a 1,000-page dossier by the end of the month.
The industry's Aspartame Information Service said Mr Williams' material
brought no new information to the public. "The minister's response was
accurate and on point," a statement said.

Safety of artificial sweetener called into question by
MP
Examples cited in the Commons of the 6,000 products with aspartame
Felicity Lawrence, consumer affairs correspondent
Thursday December 15, 2005
The Guardian <http://www.guardian.co.uk>
In 1977 Donald Rumsfeld, now George Bush's defence secretary but then chief executive
of the pharmaceutical company GD Searle, publicly stated that he would "call in
his markers" to win a licence for aspartame, the sweetener that had been
discovered by chance in Searle's laboratories, according to Roger Williams in the
Commons yesterday.
Mr Williams, MP for Brecon and Radnorshire, said in an adjournment
debate that there was much controversy about aspartame's safety at the time
but "Rumsfeld appears to have honoured his pledge". In fact, "the
history of the approval of aspartame puts public health regulators and politicians
to shame". The sweetener is now used in 6,000 products, from crisps such as
Walkers prawn cocktail, to soft drinks including Diet Coke and Robinson's
fruit squash, chewing gums such as Orbit, and vitamins pills and medicines.
Yet the science on which it was given approval was "biased, inconclusive,
and incompetent". "There is compelling and reliable evidence for
this carcinogenic substance to be banned from the UK food and drinks market."
On the day of his inauguration as president in 1981, with Mr Rumsfeld on
his transition team, Ronald Reagan personally wrote an executive order
suspending the head of the US Food and Drug Administration's powers on aspartame, Mr
Williams further claimed. One month later Mr Reagan appointed a new head of the
regulatory authority, Arthur Hayes, who granted a licence for the sweetener.
"The history of aspartame's approval is littered with examples showing that key
decision makers found against aspartame's safety, they were
discredited or replaced by industry sympathisers, who were recompensed with lucrative
jobs."
The MP said he was using his parliamentary privilege to highlight "the
strong scientific evidence" that the components of aspartame and their
metabolites can cause very serious toxic effects on humans, and that
long-term aspartame use can cause cancer.
Searle had originally submitted a host of studies to the FDA in 1970s in the hope
of getting aspartame approved. But when flaws were revealed in the science behind
another Searle product, Flagyl, the FDA set up a taskforce to investigate 15 of the
key studies submitted by Searle on aspartame. Dr Jerome Bressler was commissioned by the
FDA to investigate three of these studies. He had found 52 major discrepancies in
Searle's clinical conduct of the studies, Mr Williams told the Commons. Tumours contracted
by rats were removed before dissection but not reported; one record shows an animal
in the experiment was alive, then dead, then alive again, then dead again. MPs were
told that because it lacked funds, the FDA submitted 12 other studies to be analysed
by a research body that was under contract to Searle at the time. It declared all 12
studies authentic.
Doubts about aspartame among FDA scientists were overruled by the
FDA's administration and it was given approval. Many other countries soon
followed suit and approved aspartame on the basis of the same flawed studies,
Mr Williams said. In 1996 a review of aspartame research found that every single
industry-funded study found aspartame safe. But 92% of independent studies identified one
or more problems with its safety.
Mr Williams outlined to MPs the evidence that the breakdown products of
aspartame include suspected carcinogens and toxic molecules that damage nerve cells.
But the final nail in the coffin for the sweetener, he said, was a new,
"monumental" peer-reviewed study, that should have "set alarm bells ringing
in health departments around the world".
This vast study, conducted by the Italian-based European Ramazzini
Foundation, demonstrated that aspartame caused a significant increase
in lymphomas and leukaemias, malignant tumours of the kidneys in female rats and
malignant tumours of peripheral and cranial nerves in male rats. These tumours
occurred at doses that were well below the acceptable daily intake recommended by the
regulatory authorities in the EU and US. The public health minister, Caroline Flint,
responding for the government, said it took the issue very seriously and would look
at any new evidence. But she added that the use of food additives was very strictly
controlled at EU level. The safety of aspartame had been very extensively reviewed
many times and the current advice remained that it does not cause cancer and
is safe.
Artificial sweeteners help in the control of obesity, she said. Acceptable
daily intakes were set at a very conservative level. Moreover, the UK's
expert committee on toxicity had reviewed the initial data from the
Ramazzini Foundation and had not been convinced by its interpretations, but the
European Food Safety Authority would conduct a review when it had the full data.
The trade associations for confectionery, snack, soft drink and pill
manufacturers and the sweetener industry's Aspartame Information Service said
aspartame had been used safely for many years and evidence for its safety had been
reviewed and approved many times by regulators around the world, including by the
WHO, the FDA, the UN expert committee on food additives and the EU scientific
committee for food. They pointed out that the European Food Safety Authority has said
that "based on current evidence, it does not recommend that consumers who wish
to choose foods containing aspartame make any changes to their dietary habits".
The compounds Aspartame breaks down into three components - a methyl ester and two
amino acids: phenylalanine and aspartic acid, according to Roger Williams
during the parliamentary debate.
The sweetener industry repeatedly pointed out that these compounds occur naturally
in food and drink, yet that statement hid the complex science that makes each one
harmful to humans when found in aspartame, he added. In food, phenylalanine and
aspartic acid are bound to other amino acids in long, complex chains of proteins so
that they are not absorbed in a way that could cause damage. But in aspartame they
are not, and enzymes in the gut can easily split them apart.
Once phenylalanine is released in its free form, it is metabolised into
diketopiperazine, a suspected carcinogen. Aspartic acid in its free form
becomes an excitotoxin, a toxic molecule that stimulates nerve cells to
the point of damage or death.
The third component of aspartame, methyl ester, was the most harmful, Mr Williams
said. It is metabolised by the body into methanol, a well-known poison. In the US, the
environmental protection agency defines safe consumption of methanol as no more than
7.8mg a day. Anyone drinking three cans of a drink sweetened with aspartame a day was
consuming about 56mg of methanol, the MP said.
The public health minister, Caroline Flint, responded by saying that studies had
shown methanol levels were not increased by the ingestion of aspartame.

Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel, 1230 J Street, Sacramento, California 95814, phone (916) 447-1700.
For 16 years,
the FDA denied approval of aspartame because of compelling evidence of its contributing to
brain tumors and other serious disabilities. Donald
Rumsfeld, present Secretary of Defense in the Bush Administration, left President Ford's
administration as Chief of Staff to become the CEO of aspartame producer G D Searle Co. in
1981. Shortly after, Rumsfeld became the CEO, and the day after President Reagan took
office, aspartame was quickly approved by FDA Commissioner Arthur Hayes over the
objections of the FDA's Public Board of Inquiry. Hayes had been recently appointed by the
Reagan Administration. Shortly after aspartame's approval by the FDA, Hayes joined
NutraSweet's public relations firm under a ten year contract at $1,000 a day.
Aspartame/NutraSweet
was the product of the G. D. Searle Co. In January 1977, the FDA wrote a 33 page letter to
U.S. Justice Department Attorney Sam Skinner: "We request that your office convene a
Grand Jury investigation into apparent violations of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Act." Skinner allowed the Statute of Limitations to run.
Three FDA
Commissioners and eight other officers and Skinner took jobs in the aspartame industry
shortly after it was approved in 1982.
The Food and
Drug Administration once listed 92 adverse reactions from 10,000 consumer complaints and
sent the list to all inquirers. In 1996 the FDA stopped taking complaints and now denies
existence of the report. Seizures, blindness, sexual dysfunction, obesity, testicular,
mammary and brain tumors and death, plus dozens of other dread diseases named in the suit
arise from the consumption of this neurotoxin.
Defendant
Moser, past CEO of NutraSweet, is cited for misrepresenting facts to public and commercial
users with full knowledge of the deceptions. The toxin is sold to Bayer, Con Agra Foods,
Dannon, Smucker, Kellogg, Wrigley, PepsiCo, Kraft Foods (Crystal Light), Conopco
(Slim-Fast), Coke, Pfizer, Wal-Mart and Wyeth (to name a few), who use it in some of their
products, including children's vitamins. The National Justice League currently has suits
filed against these companies in California courts.
Defendant
American Diabetes Association's mission is to care for diabetics. A 35 year ADA member,
world famous diabetic specialist H.J.Roberts, M.D., discovered aspartame can precipitate
diabetes and reacts harmfully with insulin. ADA rejected
his report which was then published in a prestigious medical journal.
The seven count
indictment includes charges for violation of California Consumers Legal Remedies Act,
Fraud, violations of California Civil Code §1780-1784 and Injunctive Relief: that
Defendants be enjoined from future use/sale of aspartame.

In October of 2001, my sister started getting
very sick, she had stomach spasms, she was having
a hard time getting around, to walk was a major
chore. It took everything she had just to get out
of bed, she was in so much pain. By March 2002,
she had undergone biopsies, and was on 24 various
prescription medications. The doctors could not
figure out what was wrong with her. She was in so
much pain, and so sick, she knew she was dying.
She put her house, bank accounts, life insurance
etc. in her oldest daughters name, and made sure
her younger children were to be with her oldest
daughter. She wanted her last hooray, so she
planned a trip to FL (basically in a wheelchair)
for March 22nd. On March 19th I called her to ask
her how one of her tests went, and she said they
didn't find anything on the test, but they
believe she had MS. I thought, oh, my....then I
recalled an article a friend of mine emailed to
me...and I asked her....Do you drink Diet pop?
She told me yes, as a matter of fact she was
getting ready to crack one open that moment....I
told her not to open it, and stop drinking the
diet pop....and emailed her the following
article. She called me within 32 hours after our
phone conversation and told me she stopped
drinking the diet pop, and she can walk...she
went up the stairs, and the muscle spasms went
away. She said she didn't feel 100% but sure felt
a lot better. She told me she was going to her
doctors with this article and would call me back
when she got home. She called me, and her doctor
was amazed, he is going to call all of his MS
patients to find out if they consumed artificial
sweetener....In a nutshell, she was being
poisoned by the aspartame in the diet soda, dying
a slow death. When she got to FL March 22nd, all
she had to take was one pill, and that was a pill
for poisoning....she is well on her way to
recovery.....and she is walking!!!!! No
wheelchair!!!! This article saved her life!!!!"
The life saving article:
If it says "SUGAR FREE," on the label, DO NOT
EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!! I have spent several days
lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE
on "ASPARTAME" marketed as 'NutraSweet', 'Equal',
and 'Spoonful'.
In the keynote address by the EPA, it was
announced that in the United States in 2001 there
is an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic
lupus, that it was hard to understand what toxin
was causing this to be rampant. I stood up and
said that I was there to lecture on exactly that
subject.
I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous:
When the temperature of this sweetener exceeds 86
degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts
to Eformaldehyde and then to formic acid, which
in turn causes metabolicacidosis. (Formic acid is
the poison found in the sting of fire ants.) The
methanol toxicity mimics among other conditions
multiple sclerosis. People were being diagnosed
with having multiple sclerosis in error. The
multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, where
ethanol toxicity is!

COCA COLA AND THE ASPARTAME SCANDAL

This is an article on Coca Cola and the lethal sugar-substitute,
aspartame. I would just emphasise that aspartame is not only in diet coke, but in almost
every other soft drink, what Americans call soda. It began as a sugar substitute in
"diet"brands, but has now expanded into all kinds of drinks, many them designed
specifically for children,
It is also, increasingly, being added to foods.
There are many reasons for this - not least that aspartame is an intellect
suppressant.

COCA COLA AND THE ASPARTAME SCANDAL
Aspartame has 92 side effects, including blindness and death!
The photo of a crumpled can of Diet Coke told the story in the Atlanta Journal
Constitution, Coke's hometown paper.
Fitting, poetic, just, but tragic for the company once rated "The Most Admired
Business in the World". Today Coke wouldn't even make the list. Sales are down,
profits collapsing, and 6,000 employees soon will be gone. To make room for 6,000 defense
attorneys? The tragedy is stupendously larger than 6,000 jobs; it affects hundreds of
millions of unwarned, innocent, afflicted consumers across the broad face of planet earth.
This crisis can't be solved by belt tightening, greater efficiency, more advertising, etc.
It's so bad Coke can't say the word; to pronounce it will bring instant cataclysm. That
word is ASPARTAME, and their only recourse is denial, denial, denial, though every ad and
commercial builds higher the scaffold upon which Coke shall surely hang.
Reality is in that twisted Diet coke can. It's poison. It's killing the unborn, raining
tumors and seizures on the population, destroying children, incapacitating workers,
mimicking MS, erasing memory and blinding. Inexorably Diet Coke visits a plague of 92
symptoms listed by our FDA in a secret report they'll never show which names diet soda as
the first source of aspartame disease. And yes, death was one of the 92. Diet Coke is
poison. And it's addictive, some victims drink several litres a day and keep it on their
nightstands. If Coke changes the formula to remove aspartame the world will heal and the
surge of hatred and vengeance by the disabled and bereaved shall certainly destroy Coca
Cola.
The poison in Diet Coke is aspartame. As a member of the National Soft Drink Association,
Coke opposed FDA approval of aspartame for beverages. Their objections, running to several
pages published in the Congressional Record of 5/7/85, said aspartame is uniquely and
inherently unstable and breaks down in the can. It decomposes into formaldehyde, methyl
alcohol, formic acid, diketopiperazine and other toxins. In a study on seven monkeys, five
had grand mal seizures and one died, a casualty rate of 86%.
Coke knew; and knowing, broke their good faith contract with customers, a breach exhibited
by the recent plot to program vending machines to raise the price with the temperature.
Dissatisfied with selling flavored sugar water plus phosphoric acid, they switched to
pushing an addictive formula called "Diet". Addictive substances multiply
markets, so Diet Coke soared off the sales charts, spreading obesity in its flight...
We're fatter because aspartame suppresses seratonin and makes us crave carbohydrates.
So why is aspartame/NutraSweet/Equal/Diet Coke/Diet Pepsi/etc. on the market and in
thousands of foods? Can you say CORRUPTION? One FDA Commissioner and one acting
Commissioner have changed sides to work in the NutraSweet (trade name of aspartame)
industry, plus 6 underlings and two federal attorneys assigned to prosecute NutraSweet for
submitting fraudulent tests to get it approved. "It's like a script for Abbott &
Costello." lamented an honest FDA scientist writing to Senator Metzenbaum. It works
like this: "Approve our poison, and when you stop being a bureaucrat we'll make you a
plutocrat! After it's licensed we'll pay off the American Dietetics, the American Diabetes
Association, the AMA and anyone we need who's for sale."
The jig's up! Worldwide consumer action has exposed aspartame, and millions have kicked
the habit. Coke's profits are down 37% and for a year Monsanto's been trying to sell The
NutraSweet Company. (Monsanto are behind genetically-engineered food, too). Finally they
sold NSC, producer of the phenylalanine in NutraSweet for $125 million. Now Monsanto faces
a $71 million lawsuit for exaggerating profits.
Monsanto stock is in the toilet, but they may have found a buyer in the Swiss firm
Pharmacia-Upjohn. P.U. for short! The deal won't finalize for a year. The plans are to
ditch the Monsanto name as its stench is unendurable. CEO Bob Shapiro may soon be history,
like Doug Ivester of Coke who just resigned.. Will the last one out please turn out the
lights!

wrote to the company, Wrigley's, and they said that aspartame is
used to enhance the flavor, blah, blah, blah...and then they c/p
word for word what is on the aspartame website about how it is not
bad. So I sent them the link for this lawsuit. Thanks for providing
