ASPARTAME ( NUTRA SWEET and EQUAL) ARE KILLING US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS INFORMATION IS EXTREMELY DISTRUBING SINCE IT AFFECTS SO MANY OF US!!!!!!!!!!!

I know too many people who sip on diet soft drinks thinking they are healthier or shall I say less toxic than normal sodas. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH!!!!!! One of the ingredients in diet sodas is a poisonous chemical sweetener called aspartame ( it is marketed as NUTRASWEET and EQUAL), which is the most controversial food additive ever approved. This is unreal!!!!!!! This drug is PROVEN to change brain chemistry and causes multiple types of chronic illness, including cancer.

The FDA has always known aspartame is a carcinogen and the FDA's own toxicologist, the late Dr Adrian Gross told Congress without a shadow of doubt aspartame can trigger BRAIN TUMORS AND BRAIN CANCERS and violated the Delaney Amendment which forbids putting anything in food you know will cause cancer. As Dr James Bowen told the FDA, the manufacturers of aspartame have damaged a generation of children and should be criminally prosecuted for genocide for the mass poisoning of the USA and hundreds of other countries of the world.

Aspartame is an excitotoxin, which simply means that it excites your brain cells to death. Aspartame is made of 3 components, 50% phenylaline, 40% aspartic acid, and 10% methanol. The methanol is widely distributed throughout the body including brain, muscle, fat and nervous tissue. This is important because when the temperature of aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the methanol converts to FORMALDEHYDE ( this is embalming fluid boys and girls) and formic acid. The normal body temperature of the human body is 98.6 degrees. So when you ingest this, it heats up to above 86 degrees and the methanol turns to embalming fluid which enters the cells and binds to the proteins and DNA.

Methanol is toxic. Chronic, low level exposure to methanol has been seen to cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, ear buzzing, GI disturbances, weakness, vertigo, chills, memory lapses, numbness and shooting pains, behavioral disturbances, neuritis, misty vision, vision tunneling, blurring of vision, insomnia, vision loss, depression, heart problems, and pancreatic inflammation. The maximum "safe" level of methanol per day, as determined by the EPA is 7.8mg One liter of diet soda contains 56 mg. Aspartame causes an increased risk of mental retardation for millions of children. ( THESE ARE ALL WELL DOCUMENTED FACTS!!!!!!!)

Aspartame was accidentally discovered when a chemist licked some of a new ulcer drug from his fingers and discovered the sweet taste. ( I AM NOT MAKING THIS SHIT UP) The G.D. Searle company began to do safety tests which were necessary for applying for FDA approval for food additives. Early tests showed it produced microscopic holes and tumors in the brains of experimental mice, epileptic seizures in monkeys and was converted by animals into dangerous substances, including formaldehyde (embalming fluid)

A few years late the Searle company hired a biochemist to conduct safety tests on 7 infant monkeys. After 300 days 5 of the monkeys had gran mal seizures and one died! Later that year, a nueroscientist named Dr. John Olney concluded that aspartame caused holes in the brain's of infant mice. Later that year Searle's own researchers came to the same conclusion but this did not stop them from pushing it.

In 1973, the Searle company applied for FDA approval and submitted over 100 studies that claimed supported the safety of aspartame. According to FDA toxicologist, Dr Andrian Gross, Searle " took great pains to camouflage these shortcomings of the study. As I say filter and just present to the FDA what they wished the FDA to know and they did other terrible things for instance animals would develop tumors while they were under study. Well they would remove these tumors from the animals." The FDA investigated Searle's testing procedures and found them to be shoddy, inaccurate and manipulated. One investigator reported he had never seen anything as bad as Searle's testing.

Ill try to shorten this story, it is long and extremely fucked up. It was basically not allowed because of the innaccuracies of the testing until one DONALD RUMSFELD came along with the new Ronald Reagan administration. He happened to be the CEO of Searle at the time. ( IT SEEMS THIS MAN HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN SOME SHADY SHIT HIS ENTIRE ADULT LIFE) Rumsfeld told his sales force that, if necessary, " he would call in all his markers and that no matter what, he would see to it that aspartame would be approved that year"

The FDA scientists responsible for reviewing the brain tumors said there was no way this could be allowed. However, in July of that same year, in one of his first official acts, Dr. Hayes, the new FDA commissioner overruled the ban and officially approved aspartame for all dry products. In 1982 Searle filed a petition that aspartame be approved as a sweetener in carbonated beverages and other liquids.

In 1985 an FDA toxicologist who tried to stop the approval of aspartame told Congress that because aspartame was capable of producing brain tumors and brain cancer, FDA should not have been able to set an allowable daily intake of the substance AT ANY LEVEL!!!!!! He said without a shadow of doubt, ASPARTAME CAN CAUSE BRAIN TUMORS AND BRAIN CANCER

In 1995, the FDA was forced, under the Freedom of Information Act, to release a list of 92 aspartame symptoms reported by thousands of victims. It appears this is only the tip of the iceberg. Dr. H. J. Roberts, M.D., published the medical text " Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic" which contains over 1000 pages of symptoms and diseases triggered by this excitotoxin, including the history of approval.

I know so many people who drink diet soft drinks thinking they are safe. A lot of you out there drink this on a daily basis. I have some friends who drink 3 or 4 of them per day. You might as well start eating rat poison too. These soda companies are slowly, knowingly poisoning the population to death!!!!!!!!Send this along to everyone you know who drinks this shit. It is complete poison and the fact that it is still allowed to be used today makes me very weary of the FDA and the corruption involved. Thank the good Lord for Donald Rumsfeld!!!!!!
