- On Wednesday, Feb. 12, the Hawaii House Health Committee
was to consider the bill to ban aspartame, but it never happened. Chairman
Josh Green, M.D. deferred this lifesaving initiative, which means the committee
won't be able to vote on the overwhelming testimony of renowned medical
authorities, physicians and researchers that aspartame is a neurotoxin,
unfit for human consumption, inflicting disabilities and death on multitudes.
The committee didn't consider victims heart-wrenching testimonies. No
"do pass" from the House of Representatives can come forth. Its
political paralysis.
-
- Paralysis is one of the 92 disabilities the Food &
Drug Administration named in their 1995 list of aspartame reactions which
they now deny ever existed. http://www.mpwhi.com/92_aspartame_symptoms.pdf
FDA derived these from over 10,000 complaints volunteered by American
consumers; more than those reported to FDA for any other additive. FDA
slammed the complaint window in 1996 and have ignored all testimony and
research, including over 100 damning scientific peer reviewed studies on
the devastating consequence of consuming aspartame. Seizures, sexual dysfunction,
birth defects, blindness, paranoia, diabetes, migraines, obesity, and its
a multi-potential carcinogen concluded an award winning 3-year study on1,800
rats by Dr. M. Soffritti of the Ramazzini Institute. The 2005 study was
peer reviewed by 7 world experts. His second study showed it only takes
a small amount to cause cancer and if pregnant women use it and their baby
survives the offspring can get cancer.
-
- What matter the pain, the suffering, the disability,
this poison produces. Its cheaper than sugar, addictive and in thousands
of foods & beverages with phony diet claims. Corporate interests trump
consumer protection considerations. Its a money maker, so what if its a
killer?
-
- One outstanding investigation headed by Dr. Maria Alemany,
the Trocho Study, showed that formaldehyde from aspartame embalms living
tissue and damages DNA, two horrible consequences. He eloquently wrote
of governments failure to do the obvious: "I am very sorry that the
health of so many people depends on a product that should not be available
for human consumption, that is harmful and which long-time effects have
not been established nor even investigated.
-
- Alemany continued: The pressure we felt (and an unexplained
drop in our financing) helped us to abandon further studies on aspartame.
-
- Greg Gordon, UPI, reported on Dr. Richard Wurtmans study
at MIT which established that phenylalanine, half of aspartame, damages
brain function & causes seizures. http://www.wnho.net/upi_1987_aspartame1.htm
He published a highly regarded book "Dietary Phenylalanine and Brain
Function". Aspartame's maker sent a vice president to warn him if
he did a study on aspartame seizures his funds would be rejected, and they
were. Wurtman's book was removed and he spoke no more against aspartame.
MIT now continues to get research funds. When a university or medical
school takes corporate dollars they'll play any tune sugar daddy wants
to hear. The RAO study which was pivotal in the approval of aspartame
showed 5 of 7 infant monkeys fed aspartame in a 52 week oral toxicity study
had grand mal seizures and one died. http://www.dorway.com/raoreport.txt
Who's the monkey and who's the organ grinder? Figure it out!
-
- Many times medical schools get their research funds from
the International Life Sciences Institute, often called ILSI. The "Aspartame
Technical Committee" consisting of NutraSweet Co., Ajinomoto, Coca
Cola, PepsiCo, General Foods and many other manufacturers and users of
aspartame have been accused of discriminating against NutraSweet critics
in grant Research Funding awards.
-
- The Hawaiian news is: they're working on a resolution
to have the Department of Health study anecdotal reports. This is the same
department that testified in favor of aspartame. They'll be able to keep
this up for years. The reports are in, the research has been done! For
27 years anecdotal reports have piled up. Once they were called field research.
Dr. H. J. Roberts encyclopedic medical text: "Aspartame Disease: An
Ignored Epidemic" documents hundreds of them. They have poured into
Mission Possible International by the thousands for 17 years. FDA
had so many that in Congress it was explained the only way they could get
rid of them is tell victims to send their complaints to the AIDS Hotline.
Aspartame is poison, an addictive excitoneurotoxic carcinogenic drug
that interacts with drugs and vaccines.
-
- Said Dr. Charles Harris: The medical profession has a
tendency to discard out of hand, and disparagingly, anecdotal information.
Digitalis, morphine, quinine, atropine, and the like are chemical derivatives
that stem from anecdotal folklore remedies. One anecdote may be a fable,
but 1,000 anecdotes can be a biography. A vital function of the medical
profession is to sift anecdotes and submit them, if possible, to scientific
evaluation. But it all starts as an anecdote. (Medical Tribune)
-
- When science and the public interest win out it is invariably
only after the government has been pushed to the wall by consumer advocates
and other public pressure explained honest FDA toxicologist, Dr. Jacqueline
Verrett in her fine book "Eating Can Be Dangerous to Your Health,
the Case Against Additives. Dr. Verrett exposed FDA for allowing aspartame
and said in l987 to Congress that aspartame still had not been proven safe,
and this was 6 years after it was on the market.
-
- The mass poisoning of the world population by the producers
and politicians who permit this poison is an international scandal only
for profit. Thank you all: doctors, professionals, citizens and victims
who rose to the occasion and wrote to protect our health and lives. Water
wears away rock! As Frank Sinatra sang in "High Hopes": "Oops
there goes a billion kilowatt dam!"
-
- Chairman Representative Josh Green, M.D. was sent Dr.
H. J. Roberts 1038 page medical text with peer reviewed research cited
and chapters on diseases aspartame triggers along with the mechanism.
There's a chapter on drug interaction, even information for trial lawyers.
Every member of the House Health Committee was sent two packets. One
had the timeline from the 17 page Ecologist of how Don Rumsfeld got aspartame
on the market through political chicanery after the FDA had requested the
original manufacturer, Searle, be indicted for fraud, and revoked Searle's
petition for approval. http://www.mpwhi.com/ecologist_september_2005.doc
-
- A second packet contained the aspartame documentary Sweet
Misery: A Poisoned World, www.soundandfury.tv so every member of the committee
could see and hear the world experts testimony as if they were standing
there before them. They could hear D.C. Attorney, James Turner, tell about
Rumsfeld's dealings, and how a US President wrote an executive order, now
illegally removed from the record, making the FDA powerless to do anything
about aspartame until he could get a new Commissioner to over-rule the
Board of Inquiry that had revoked Searle's petition for approval. Searle
CEO Donald Rumsfeld had been on Reagan's transition team. http://www.mpwhi.com/fda_petition1.doc
-
- With all the testimony of world experts and researchers,
the history, and victims testimony of nearly dying on aspartame, there
was no doubt any reasonable member of the health committee would give it
a "do pass". Why weren't they given this opportunity?
-
- Diabetes is epidemic in Hawaii and aspartame precipitates
the disease and simulates and aggravates diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy,
destroys the optic nerve, interacts with drugs, causes diabetics to go
into convulsions, can induce hypoglycemia, and even interacts with insulin.
Would the banning of aspartame show there will be a state without an epidemic
of diabetes like the rest of the world? The "Just Like Sugar"
Company sent committee members complimentary bottles of a product safe
for diabetics so they understood diabetics don't have to use poisons.
-
- Aspartame is an abortifacient and teratogen causing birth
defects and mental retardation without a warning. The Committee was given
the URL for the Report For Schools which contained letters from experts
and even Feingold, the ADD people, who banned aspartame from their diets:
http://www.mpwhi.com/report_on_aspartame_and_children.htm
-
- I have a question for Rep Josh Green? "You read
the letter of Dr. Alemany and were given his study showing aspartame embalms
living tissue and damages DNA, which can destroy humanity. With this research
can you say aspartame is safe? If you answer yes, why are you a physician?
If your answer is no, why didn't you allow the committee to vote, so killing
the bill for this legislative session? Can you give me one reason for
aspartame to be on the market when it has been shown for for 27 years to
cause addiction, diabetes, cardiac problems and sudden death, seizures,
MS, lupus, all types of neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, birth defects,
psychiatric disease and death? You received the research you asked for.
Why did you not give your committee a chance to vote to free Hawaiians
of a deadly poison in their food?
-
- Representative Mele Carroll, my deepest gratitude for
your compassion and concern in introducing the bill that could have removed
a poison from the beautiful islands of Hawaii.
