Aspartame the Deadly Lie!!

Hi,
I felt the need to do this lens to warn people about the deadly effects of Aspartame. My Sister die of Brain Cancer in 1991. It makes me stop and wonder if fluoride or aspartame played a part in her death. The FDA needs to be accountable for there part in putting products on the market that they new were harmful!! Please be pro-active in what you eat and your family eats. The FDA's is suppose to protect us, but they have failed horribly!!!! Who is suppose to protect us from the FDA?

There's a lot of information on the World Wide Web about Aspartame. Here's just a little of what I found.

A whole lot of people, tens of thousands, perhaps even millions by now, have found out the truth about aspartame thanks to the so-called "Nancy Markle Letter", and piece really written by Betty Martini, a former member of our group. This letter was submitted to 450 user groups by Shoshanna Allison, another member of our group, and it became like a "shot fired around the world".

DISCLAIMER: The owners of the website, The Aspartame Victims Support Group, do not endorse any statements made by Betty Martini. Niether do we discount them on the the grounds that she might have disseminated them. We are not associated with her, and we will be re-doing this website in the future to clearly reflect that. We are aware that she has certain alleged credibility problems, and we do not want our efforts to be tied to the negative publicity that she has received. In any event, there is no question in our minds that aspartame is toxic, since we are all victims of aspartame ourselves, and when we stopped using it, in almost all cases our symptoms disappeared. In any event, the issue of aspartame, in spite of the impression given by public relations firms in the hire of aspartame sellers and the like, is not in any way tied to the person of Betty Martini. Her crediblity is not what determines whether aspartame is safe or not.

Here is the original letter:

WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE
and the
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS FOUNDATION
F.D.A. ISSUING FOR COLLUSION WITH MONSANTO
Article written by Nancy Markle (1120197)

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, they announced that there was an epidemic of
multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus, and they did not understand what
toxin was causing this to be rampant across the United States. I
explained that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject.

"WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE ASPARTAME EXCEEDS 86F"
When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in
ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn
causes metabolic acidosis.
(Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants). The methanol
toxicity mimics multiple sclerosis; thus people were being diagnosed with
having multiple sclerosis in error. The multiple sclerosis is not a death
sentence, where methanol toxicity is.

"LUPUS"
In the case of systemic lupus, we are finding it has become almost as
rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially in Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi
drinkers. Also, with methanol toxicity, the victims usually drink three
to four 12 oz. Cans of them per day, some even more. In the cases of
systemic lupus, which is triggered by ASPARTAME, the victim usually does
not know that the aspartame is the culprit. The victim continues its use,
aggravating the lupus to such a degree, that sometimes it becomes life
threatening. When we get people off the aspartame, those with systemic
lupus usually become asymptomatic. Unfortunately, we can not reverse this
disease.

"MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS"
On the other hand, in the case of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis,
(when in reality, the disease is methanol toxicity), most of the symptoms
disappear. We have seen cases where their vision has returned and even
their hearing has returned. This also applies to cases of tinnitus.

During a lecture I said "If you are using ASPARTAME ((NutraSweet, Equal,
Spoonful, etc.), and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms,
shooting pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness,
headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, depression, anxiety attacks, slurred
speech, blurred vision, or memory loss -- you probably have ASPARTAME
DISEASE!" People were jumping up during the lecture saying, "I've got
this, is it reversible?" It is rampant. Some of the speakers at my
lecture even were suffering from these symptoms. In one lecture attended
by the Ambassador of Uganda, he told us that their sugar industry is adding
aspartame! He continued by saying that one of the industry leader's son
could no longer walk - due in part by product usage!

We have a very serious problem. Even a stranger came up to Dr. Espisto
(one of my speakers) and myself and said, "Could you tell me why so many
people seem to be coming down with MS? During a visit to a hospice, a
nurse said that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had
all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence.

Here is the problem. There were Congressional Hearings in which aspartame
was included in 100 different products. Since this initial hearing, there
have been two subsequent hearings, but to no avail. Nothing as been done.
The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets. Now there are over
5,000 products containing this chemical, and the PATENT HAS EXPIRED!!!!!
At the time of this first hearing, people were going blind. The methanol
in the aspartame converts to formaldehyde in the retina of the eye.
Formaldehyde is grouped in the same class of drugs as cyanide and
arsenic--DEADLY POISONS!!! Unfortunately, it just takes longer to quietly
kill, but it is killing people and causing all kinds of neurological
problems.

Aspartame changes the brain's chemistry. It is the reason for severe
seizures. This drug changes the dopamine level in the brain. Imagine what
this drug does to patients suffering from Parkinson's Disease. This drug
also causes Birth Defects. There is absolutely no reason to take this
product. It is NOT A DIET PRODUCT!!! The Congressional record said, "It
makes you crave carbohydrates and will make you FAT". Dr. Roberts stated
that when he got patients off aspartame, their average weight loss was 19
pounds per person. The formaldehyde stores in the fat cells, particularly
in the hips and thighs.

"DIABETICS"
Aspartame is especially deadly for diabetics. All physicians know what wood
alcohol will do to a diabetic. We find that physicians believe that they
have patients with retinopathy, when in fact, it is caused by the
aspartame. The aspartame keeps the blood sugar level out of control,
causing many patients to go into a coma. Unfortunately, many have died.
People were telling us at the Conference of the American College of
Physicians, that they had relatives that switched from saccharin to an
aspartame product and how that relative had eventually gone into a coma.
Their physicians could not get the blood sugar levels under control.
Thus, the patients suffered acute memory loss and eventually coma and
death.

"MEMORY LOSS"
Memory loss is due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are
neurotoxic without the other amino acids found in protein. Thus it goes
past the blood brain barrier and deteriorates the neurons of the brain.
Dr. Russell Blaylock, neurosurgeon, said, "The ingredients stimulates the
neurons of the brain to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees.
Dr. Blaylock has written a book entitled "EXCITOTOXINS: THE TASTE THAT
KILLS" (Health Press 1-800-643-2665). Dr. H.J. Roberts, diabetic
specialist and world expert on aspartame poisoning, has also written a book
entitled "DEFENSE AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE" (1-800-814-9800). Dr.
Roberts tells how aspartame poisoning is escalating Alzheimer's Disease,
and indeed it is. As the hospice nurse told me, women are being admitted
at 30 years of age with Alzheimer's Disease. Dr. Blaylock and Dr.
Roberts will be writing a position paper with some case histories and will
post it on the Internet. According to the Conference of the American
College of Physicians, 'We are talking about a plague of neurological
diseases caused by this deadly poison".

Dr. Roberts realized what was happening when aspartame was first marketed.
He said, "his diabetic patients presented memory loss, confusion, and
severe vision loss". At the Conference of the American College of
Physicians, doctors admitted that they did not know. They had wondered
why seizures were rampant (the phenylalanine in aspartame breaks down the
seizure threshold and depletes serotonin, which causes manic depression,
panic attacks, rage and violence).

Just before the Conference, I received a FAX from Norway, asking for a
possible antidote for this poison because they are experiencing so many
problems in their country. This poison is now available in 90 PLUS
countries worldwide. Fortunately, we had speakers and ambassadors at the
Conference from different nations who have pledged their help. We ask
that you help too. Print this article out and warn everyone you know.
Take anything that contains aspartame back to the store. Take the "NO
ASPARTAME TEST" and send us your case history.

I assure you that MONSANTO, the creator of aspartame, knows how deadly it
is. They fund the American Diabetes Association, American Dietetic
Association, Congress, and the Conference of the American College of
Physicians. The New York Times, on November 15, 1996, ran an article on
how the American Dietetic Association takes money from the food industry to
endorse their products. Therefore, they can not criticize any additives or
tell about their link to MONSANTO. How bad is this? We told a mother who
had a child on NutraSweet to get off the product. The child was having
grand mal seizures every day. The mother called her physician, who called
the ADA, who told the doctor not to take the child off the NutraSweet. We
are still trying to convince the mother that the aspartame is causing the
seizures. Every time we get someone off of aspartame, the seizures stop.
If the baby dies, you know whose fault it is, and what we are up against.
There are 92 documented symptoms of aspartame, from coma to death. The
majority of them are all neurological, because the aspartame destroys the
nervous system.

"DESSERT STORM"
Aspartame Disease is partially the cause to what is behind some of the
mystery of the Dessert Storm health problems. The burning tongue and
other problems discussed in over 60 cases can be directly related to the
consumption of an aspartame product. Several thousand pallets of diet
drinks were shipped to the Dessert Storm troops. (Remember heat can
liberate the methanol from the aspartame at 86 degrees F). Diet drinks sat
in the 120 degree F. Arabian sun for weeks at a time on pallets. The
service men and women drank them all day long. All of their symptoms are
identical to aspartame poisoning. Dr. Roberts says "consuming aspartame at
the time of conception can cause birth defects". The phenylalanine
concentrates in the placenta, causing mental retardation, according to Dr.
Louis Elsas, Pediatrician Professor - Genetics, at Emery University in his
testimony before Congress.

"BRAIN TUMORS"
In the original lab tests, animals developed brain tumors (phenylalanine
breaks down into DXP, a brain tumor agent). When Dr. Espisto was
lecturing on aspartame , one physician in the audience, a neurosurgeon,
said," when they remove brain tumors, they have found high levels of
aspartame in them".

Stevia, a sweet food, NOT AN ADDITIVE, which helps in the metabolism of
sugar, which would be ideal for diabetics, has now been approved as a
dietary supplement by the F.D.A. For years, the F.D.A. has outlawed this
sweet food because of their loyalty to MONSANTO.

If it says "SUGAR FREE" on the label-- DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!
Senator Howard Metzenbaum wrote a bill that would have warned all infants,
pregnant mothers and children of the dangers of aspartame. The bill would
have also instituted independent studies on the problems existing in the
population (seizures, changes in brain chemistry, changes in neurological
and behavioral symptoms). It was killed by the powerful drug and chemical
lobbies, letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting
public.
Since the Conference of the American College of Physicians, we hope to have
the help of some world leaders. Again, please help us too. There are a
lot of people out there who must be warned, please let them know this
information.
