FDA Supports Aspartame Despite Study Showing Possible Cancer Link

I used to suffer from migraine headaches 5 out of every 7 days on average. It started when I was around 12... right when this stuff hit the market. I cut out aspartame on the advice of some lady in the shopping center and sure enough I now have a headache maybe once a month!

My best friend used to suffer headaches and stomach pains. He went to countless doctors and they pretty much gave up on him. One even said it was psychological. I told him to cut out the use of aspartame as he was always using the stuff. He's a competitive body builder so he thought it was the perfect sugar substitute, alas it was the trigger. He also no longer suffers debilitating headaches nor stomach pain.

These types of accounts are all over the Internet and among our circles of friends and family. The stuff is poison imo. It was brought to market by force for a reason. Like the tobacco industry, these people know it is a trigger for ill-health, but will do whatever they have to in order to protect their profits.

If there was ever a time for Canadians to become pushy - now is the time - for time is running out on this nation called Canada.

Try finding chewing gum that doesn't have either Aspartame, Sorbitol, or some other synthetic in place of sugar.

As for Aspartame, nothing like ingesting a substance that begins chemical breakdown into formaldehyde and other toxins at 30 C - (86 F).

I refuse to touch it, or anything with it as an ingredient.

And some wonder why I think they're trying to kill us off slowly.

If George W. Bush and Tony Blair are really Christians, then pork and shrimp are Kosher.

The danger of aspertame has been known for decades and there are hundreds of scientific papers listed on the Net showing the damage it causes.

At the same time, there's an excellent and completely harmless, natural, sugar substitute on the market, made of Stevia leaves, 300 times sweeter than sugar. It can be used safely by diabetics.

It is available in all healthfood stores and many supermarkets. Look for "Stevia", or "Sweet Leaf" brand. We're using it all the time and nobody's more careful, knowledgeable and fussier about foods than my wife.

In other words, aspertame is just another racket forced on the public by the corporate mafia and their fully owned governments.

From the same scum bag of a man who brought "Shock n Awe" to your prime time TV set ... <br><br> <a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/NWVexclusive/exclusive15.htm">DONALD RUMSFELD AND ASPARTAME</a> <blockquote>"When Donald Rumsfeld was CEO of Searle, that conglomerate manufactured aspartame. For 16 years the FDA refused to approve it, not only because its not safe but because they wanted the company indicted for fraud. Both U.S. Prosecutors hired on with the defense team and the statute of limitations expired. They were Sam Skinner and William Conlon. Skinner went on to become Secretary of Transportation squelching the cries of the pilots who were now having seizures on this seizure triggering drug, aspartame, and then Chief of Staff under President Bush's father. Some of these people reach high places. Even Supreme Justice Clarence Thomas is a former Monsanto attorney. (Monsanto bought Searle in 1985, and sold it a few years ago). When Ashcroft became Attorney General, Thompson from King and Spalding Attorneys (another former Monsanto attorney) became deputy under Ashcroft. (Attorneys for NutraSweet and Coke). <br><br> "However, the FDA still refused to allow NutraSweet on the market. It is a deadly neurotoxic drug masquerading as an additive. It interacts with all antidepressants, L-dopa, Coumadin, hormones, insulin, all cardiac medication, and many others. It also is a chemical hyper sensitization drug so that it interacts with vaccines, other toxins, other unsafe sweeteners like Splenda which has a chlorinated base like DDT and can cause auto immune disease. It has a synergistic and additive effect with MSG. Both being excitotoxins, the aspartic acid in aspartame, and MSG, the glutamate people were found using aspartame as the placebo for MSG studies, even before it was approved. The FDA has known this for a quarter of a century and done nothing even though its against the law. Searle went on to build a NutraSweet factory and had $9 million worth of inventory. <br><br> "Donald Rumsfeld was on President Reagan's transition team and the day after he took office he appointed an FDA Commissioner who would approve aspartame. The FDA set up a Board of Inquiry of the best scientists they had to offer who said aspartame is not safe and causes brain tumors, and the petition for approval is hereby revoked. The new FDA Commissioner, Arthur Hull Hayes, over-ruled that Board of Inquiry and then went to work for the PR Agency of the manufacturer, Burson-Marstellar, rumored at $1000.00 a day, and has refused to talk to the press ever since. <br><br> "There were three congressional hearings because of the outcry of the people being poisoned. Senator Orrin Hatch refused to allow hearings for a long time. The first hearing was in 1985, and Senator Hatch and others were paid by Monsanto. So the bill by Senator Metzenbaum never got out of committee. This bill would have put a moratorium on aspartame, and had the NIH do independent studies on the problems being seen in the population, interaction with drugs, seizures, what it does to the fetus and even behavioral problems in children. This is due to the depletion of serotonin caused by the phenylalanine in aspartame." <blockquote>

Sorbitol isn't synthetic. It's a sugar alcohol. (it's nethier sugar, nor alcohol). Things like Stevia extract and Sorbitol are far sweeter than sugar, but aren't metabolized like sugar.

If you want to know about sugar substitutes, just ask any Diabetic. But I wouldn't touch aspartame, ever.
