10/27/2014
On
October 24,2014 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration again rejected
calls to ban the deadly chemical sweetener aspartame. FDA found no
evidence the widely used diet soda additive causes cancer, and shot
down two citizen petitions urging it recall the ingredient and
revoke FDA regulations allowing its use in food.
Aspartame
is sold as NutraSweet and Equal and in Europe as E951. It is an
addictive ingredient in commonly in "Diet Coke" and Pepsi.

Who
said aspartame causes cancer? The FDA themselves! In the
8/1/1985 Congressional Record FDA toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross,
told Congress "that at least one of G.D.Searle's studies has
established beyond
any reasonable doubt
that aspartame is capable of inducing brain tumors in experimental
animals and that this predisposition of it is of extremely high
significance. In view of these indications that the cancer causing
potential of aspartame is a matter that had been established way
beyond any reasonable doubt,
one can ask: What is the reason for the apparent refusal by the FDA
to invoke for this food additive the so-called Delaney Amendment to
the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act?"
The Delaney Amendment
made it illegal to allow any residue of cancer-causing chemicals in
foods. Dr Gross concluded: ”Given the cancer-causing potential of
aspartame, how would the FDA justify its position that it views a
certain amount of aspartame as constituting an allowable daily intake
or safe level of it? Is that position in effect not equivalent to
setting a tolerance for this food additive and thus a violation of
that law? And if the FDA elects to violate the law, who is left to
protect the health of the public?" Congressional
Record SID835:131
(8/1/85)
So, the FDA violated the law! Dr. Morando Soffritti
of the Ramazzini Institute performed three multi-year award winning
aspartame studies on thousands of rats, and all showed aspartame is a
"multipotential carcinogen." When the first study was
released in 2005, neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D. reviewed it and
declared:
"The new study released in the European Journal
of Oncology by Morando Soffritti and co-workers should terrify
mothers and all those consuming aspartame sweetened products. This
was a carefully done study, which clearly demonstrated a
statistically significant increase in several types of lymphomas and
leukemias in rats. Both of these malignancies have increased
significantly in this country since the widespread use of
aspartame.
"This study confirmed the previous study by
Dr. Trocho and co-workers, which also found the formaldehyde
breakdown product of aspartame to be damaging to cellular DNA and
that this damage was accumulative. The type of damage was a duplicate
of that associated with cancers. Along with this most recent study,
this means that drinking a single diet cola sweetened with aspartame
every day could increase ones risk of developing a lymphoma or
leukemia."
Next a Harvard study said to be "the
strongest and longest." verified aspartame causes cancer. But
as soon as they released this statement Harvard turned around and
apologized saying it was "weak science." Guess who
bullied/bribed Harvard? But it was too late, Harvard had already
released the information, the cat was out of the bag.

With
all this evidence why believe the lies of the FDA? It was Dr.
Adrian Gross, lead FDA scientist and toxicologist
who originally asked that G. D. Searle be indicted for fraud but both
US Prosecutors Sam Skinner and William Conlon hired on with the
defense team and the statute of limitations expired. FDA set up
a Board of Inquiry who revoked the petition for approval and you can
read the entire 50 pages on my web site, www.mpwhi.com Note their
main concern was the brain tumors and brain cancer. Aspartame
breaks down to diketopiperazine, a brain tumor agent, so how can the
FDA say it doesn't cause cancer besides the fact they already
admitted it does. One of the reasons Dr. Adrian Gross wanted
them indicted is because as the rats developed brain tumors G. D.
Searle would remove the tumors and put the rats back in the study and
if they died Searle would resurrect them on paper.
Obviously
Searle would never sign up humans for a study of aspartame and cancer
where it could be known. So their studies were done in 6 other
countries in l983/84 where they sacrificed people in poor villages
but refused to publish the fatal results. In a notarized affidavit
the translator, Norma Vera said: "There was the recurring
description of tumors, astrocytomas and gliomas." Searle
never published these results, then closed up their Florida office
and went back to Illinois. In 1985 Searle sold NutraSweet to
Monsanto.
In The
Journal
of Advancement in Medicine, Volume 4, Winter 1991 article Does
Aspartame cause Human Brain Cancer
http://www.dorway.com/betty/brainc.txt
Dr. H. J. Roberts said:
"The increasing frequency of
primary brain lymphoma of B cell derivation - including reticulum
cell sarcoma, microglioma and histiocytic lymphoma - also requires
explanation because this subset was previously rare. Eby et al all
reported a nearly threefold rise in its incidence among
immunologically normal persons in the l982-l84 SEER data, which they
could not explain..."
Dr. Roberts also said that
"Hockberg and Miller reported a tripling of incidence of this
tumor in non-immuno suppressed persons during the 5 year interval
between l980 and l984."
In
l996 Dr. John Olney made world news over the Aspartame brain tumor
association.
Increasing Brain Tumor Rates: Is There a Link to Aspartame?
J. Neuropath Exp Neurol, Vol 55, Nov & Dec issues. Dr. Olney
discusses the aspartame molecule acquires mutagenic activity when
nitrosated and this provides a clue to a possible mechanism by which
aspartame could cause brain tumors. He says: "Nitrosation of
aspartame or its diketopiperazine breakdown product could result in a
nitrosourea-like molecule, and nitrosoureas are THE MOST EFFECTIVE
AGENTS KNOWN for producing MALIGNANT BRAIN TUMORS in experimental
animals. Some nitrosoureas have broad spectrum carcinogenicity and
can induce cancer in both the CNS and several other organs, but other
members of this family, particularly alkylated nitrosoureas are
organo-specific for the CNS. These agents can act by a direct and
relatively rapid mechanism to induce brain tumors, when administered
systemically to adult rats. In addition, they are particularly potent
in acting by a delayed mechanism involving in utero exposure of the
fetus and resulting in a high incidence of malignant brain tumors
which do not manifest until adulthood. The malignant tumors induced
by either the direct or delayed mechanism are not typically of the
childhood type (i.e. medulloblastoma) but rather are predominantly
adult tumors (e. g. astrocytomas, glioblastomas, mixed gliomas,
oligo-dendrogliomas). Thus, it may be significant that the recent
surge in human brain tumor rates involved these various adult types
of tumors, whereas childhood medulloblastoma was the singular tumor
type that showed no increase."
Neurochemist
Dr. Peter Nunn and Geoffrey Pilkington did a study at Kings College
around 2000 having to do with aspartame and brain tumors which
is as yet unpublished. We were able to get a piece of stationery
from this study which had this statement: "When we exposed
human brain tumor cells to nitrosated DKP the cells became more
motile and their rate of proliferation was significantly elevated.
While it is somewhat early to speculate, it is possible that the
aspartame breakdown product may be capable of enhancing the rate of
malignant progression of pre-existing (and possibly clinically
silent, undiagnosed) tumours in the brain." Because I
published the statement I believe the study was never published.
This
agrees with Dr. John Olney who founded the field of neuroscience
called Excitotoxicity and tried to prevent aspartame's approval with
Attorney James Turner. He is one of the most renowned
neuroscientists in the world. His CV can be read on
http://www.dorway.com
Going
back to the original FDA investigation there was a Task Force
headed by Dr. Adrian Gross.
The
original test results presented to FDA for aspartame approval were
doctored to conceal the rat cancers the poison caused according to
examining FDA scientists in an FDA Task Force Report which found
deceits such as:
"Excising
masses (removing tumors) from live animals in some cases without
histologic examination of the masses, in others without reporting
them to the FDA." (Schmidt 1976c, page 4 of US Senate l976b).
Searle's representatives, when caught and questioned about these
actions, stated that "these masses were in the head and neck
areas and prevented the animals from feeding." (Buzzard l976a)
[In other words, the cancers were so big they choked the animals.]
G.
D. Searle told the FDA 12 lots of DKP were manufactured and tested
in one study, yet only seven batches were actually made. (Gross
l985, page S10835) Diketopiperazine is a brain tumor agent which
breaks down from the aspartame molecule.
In
the aspartame (DKP) 115 week rat study the written observations of
the pathology report was changed by the supervising pathologist,
Dr. Rudolph Stejskal even though he was not physically present
during the autopsies and could not have verified the observations
of the pathologist who did perform the autopsies. The pathologist
who did perform some of the autopsies had no formal training for
such procedures. (Gross l985, page S10837 of Congressional Record
1985b)
"Contrary
to protocol, slides were not prepared of the (unusual lesions from
the aspartame (DKP) study tissue for microscopic examination..."
(Gross l985, page S10837 of Congressional Record l985b)
FDA
Toxicologist and Task Force member, Dr Adrian Gross stated (Wilson
l985): "They (G.D. Searle) lied and they didn't submit the real
nature of their observations because had they done that it is more
likely that a great number of these studies would have been rejected
simply for adequacy. What Searle did, they 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."
An
FDA Toxicologist explained why their experiments were invalidated:
"It is highly unlikely the FDA Investigative teams found all of
the problems with G. D. Searle's studies. G. D. Searle seemed so
intent on covering up their misconduct, that it is quite likely that
they were able to hide many of the problems from the FDA.
On
Jan 10, l977 in a 33 page letter, FDA Chief Counsel Richard Merrill
recommended to U.S. Attorney Sam Skinner that a grand jury
investigate Searle for "apparent violations of the Federal,
Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. 331 (e), and the False Reports
to the Government Act, 18 U.S.C. 1001, for 'their willful and knowing
failure to make reports to the Food and Drug Administration required
by the Act, 21 U.S.C. 355 (i), and for concealing material facts and
making false statements in reports of animal studies conducted to
establish the safety of aspartame.'" The FDA called special
attention to studies investigating the effect of NutraSweet on
monkeys and hamsters.
Since
everything was all a matter of public record the manufacturer was in
deep, er, difficulty, and had to creatively avoid an indictment. Both
U.S. Prosecutors, Sam Skinner and William Conlon were hired by the
defense lawyers, Sidley and Austin, and the statute of limitations
expired. When the district attorney gets a job with the godfather,
expect acquittal. Dr. Jacqueline Verrett, another FDA toxicologist
also testified to Congress. Here is her testimony
in 1987 after aspartame approval and she admits aspartame
remains on the market without ever being proven safe.
http://www.wnho.net/j_verrett_testimony.pdf
In
Dr. Verrett's book, "Eating
May Be Dangerous To Your Health" she
admits until consumers push FDA to the wall no changes will be made
and it should be closed down and a more consumer oriented agency
should be set up. The FDA for years has lied and denied.
Dr.
Bill Deagle in a conversation with me on his radio show:
"Aspartame
because of its ubiquitous nature in food is more
dangerous than depleted uranium."
Dr.
Deagle also has repeatedly said to me and written:
"I called
Dr John Olney while the director of Neuropathology of Washington
State Medical School, when applying for a Neuropathology Residency
to do research on Multiple Sclerosis and Brain Cancers, as well as
other motor disorders... Dr Olney said after introduction and
receipt of my application...
"Dr Bill Deagle, I have
been doing research on Aspartame for the FDA. I found that identical
changes in scanning electron microscopy of brains of laboratory
animals exposed to this peptide, as the early changes in brain
cancer, such as Multicentric Astroglliomas. I predict at 10 to 20 %
increase in brain cancers, and other neurological diseases such as
ALS amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, dementias, and neurodegenerative
diseases, as well as peripheral neuropathy and cardiac conduction
bundle abnormalities." I said, "Wow, when the FDA has your
preliminary data, what are they saying?" Dr Olney said," I
don't know what their response will be but there is no doubt that
this neurotoxin, and genotoxin should never be approved." I
was amazed that my questions on a Neuropatholgy Residency turned so
quickly to his work on Aspartame. He seemed unimpressed that his
data and findings would be accepted by the FDA and PTB. I was in
shock, that public health, fetal development, brain aging and
disease take a back seat to Big GenoPharma, makers of the most
dangerous GMO food, Aspartame.
"Report on the Genesis of
Aspartame from E.Coli with a cassette of genes in an unstable
plasmid.:
When working with employees of the Augusta Georgia
aspartame plant as a physician in Georgia in 1987 and 1988, I
received a briefing by the plant communications director to
physicians at the Augusta Regional Hospital. We were told not to
report to media any unusual illnesses including neuropathy, organic
brain diseases, transverse myelitis, cardiac conduction problems or
cancers for employees we would see in our practices or the
emergency department. Then, I was given a plant production report
verbally about the E.Coli was genetically engineered to make the
peptide by a high velocity gene gun coated with Gold ions as a
genetically non-connected unstable plasmid of genes to make this
peptide. Centrifuges would take the E.Coli peptide slurry and
separate by multiple stages the final tripeptide. The said that had
take precautions to make sure the E.Coli would not come in contact
with workers or leave the plant by accident or in product they
produced. Plasmids can survive extreme environments, but stable
outside the cell in the extracellular space and can enter gut
bacteria or host of any mammals or other host, then producing
uncontrolled production of this Glutamate agonist neurotoxin.
Having worked under Dr Robert Brown PhD in the early 70s, who was a
bioweaponeer at US facilities, I was aware that proper precautions
were in no way present at the Aspartame Peptide GMO E.Coli
facility in Georgia in 1987 and 1988."

So why is aspartame even on the market since
the FDA revoked the petition for approval. Because G. D. Searle
hired Don Rumsfeld to see that it was approved, and G. D. Searle
filed suit when the FDA Commissioner, Dr. Jere Goyan, was about to
sign the revoked petition into law. Rumsfeld said he would call
in his markers and get it on the market and this is also in the
congressional record on my web site, www.mpwhi.com
President Reagan owed Rumsfeld a favor and the day after he took
office someone from the Transition Team called Dr. Goyan at 3:00 AM
and fired him. His wife who was not married to him at the time
was with him and told me about it and sent me a letter.
Then
President Reagan wrote an Executive Order making the FDA powerless to
do anything about aspartame until he could appoint a new commissioner
which he knew would take about 30 days. It was Arthur Hull
Hayes who has now died, a friend of Rumsfeld who had worked at the
Defense Department. He then over-ruled the Board of Inquiry and
put aspartame on the market letting loose the hounds of disability
and death on an unsuspecting public.
Congressional
hearings were not heard until 1985 because Senator Orrin Hatch who
received money from Monsanto wouldn't allow it. People were
going blind, getting brain tumors, suffering from MS, lupus, seizures
and a host of diseases and were outraged,. Senator Howard
Metzenbaum wrote a bill to have independent studies done by NIH
regarding what aspartame does to the fetus, behavioral problems in
children, seizures and interaction with drugs. Monsanto
couldn't have that and senators were given money. The bill
never got out of committee. Congress failed the people because
of influence and money,.
When Jerome Bressler, compliance
officer, who authored the famous Bressler Report retired I called him
and thanked him. While I didn't know him personally at the time
he immediately told me, "Betty, didn't you realize something was
removed from my report?" I told him yes I had noticed.
Then he told me it was information on two studies the public didn't
know about that were dreadful and very important and pleaded with me
to find them, as important as the fact that aspartame causes cancer.
He said he had a hard time living with it knowing the public had no
idea what aspartame could do to them. Not wanting to be the
only one who knew this I told Dr. H. J. Roberts and Dr. Russell
Blaylock who also called Jerome Bressler. Dr. Roberts wrote his
congressman who wrote the FDA for the studies. The FDA wrote and said
they were confidential. Indeed!
THE MOST HEINOUS CRIME
THE FDA EVER COMMITTED:
I became friends with Jerome Bressler
as did Lane Shore, Mission Possible Chicago, who lost 8 members of
his family from aspartame and is a victim himself. It took 8
years to finally get them with the help of Dr. Madelon Price who went
through thousands of Dr. Olney's records. They were teratology
studies and they showed neural tube defects - autism, spina bifida,
cleft palate, etc. So with no pregnancy warning women the world
over have been using this teratogen (causes birth defects) and giving
birth to babies with autism and all kinds of horrible birth defects.
Someone should ask St. Jude Hospital how many babies are born with
brain tumors because they see so many children with cancer.
I
returned these records to the Bressler Report:
http://www.mpwhi.com/complete_bressler_report.pdf
Then
Lane Shore went to see Jerome at his nursing home and gave them his
report with the missing records. It was his idea that the
Chicago Tribune should do the story. It was never done although
Monica Eng, reporter, Lane Shore, Diane Murphy, Mission Possible
Illinois and I listened to Jerome for 2 hours telling
about G. D. Searle one evening,. He told how he and
Dr. Adrian Gross would go to G. .D. Searle and they would lock the
doors and try to prevent entrance. Dr. Gross would yell, "open
the door or we are going for a court order". The
studies on aspartame were a horror story. As long as Jerome
Bressler was able to get around he would go to the cafeteria and if
he saw someone drinking diet soda he would say, "please don't
drink that - its poison,." Then he died, the last of the
heroic FDA employees who tried to prevent this addictive,
excitoneurotoxic, carcinogenic, genetically engineered drug,
teratogen and adjuvant from being consumed by humans. FDA gets over
half its funds from Big Pharma, has given its loyalty to
corporations, betraying public trust.
Once I added this
information to the Bressler Report the FDA knew it was over.
They couldn't lie anymore about it and released 4 more studies they
wouldn't release before to Dr. Woodrow Monte who wrote the incredible
book, "While
Science Sleeps: A Sweetener Kills".
You can read the last chapter free on is web site,
www.whilesciencesleeps.com
that goes into aspartame and autism. Dr. Deagle says its
too late now. Children all over the world suffer from autism,
other birth defects, ADD and ADHD, etc. Today our children are
medicated instead of educated, and aspartame interacts with all
antidepressants. See the Report For Schools on www.mpwhi.com
In
Dr. Monte's book he tells how the FDA made a deal with G. D. Searle
never to allow the public to see the teratology studies. For
this crime alone the FDA should be closed down. Congress needs
to makeup for not allowing the studies to be done by NIH years ago
and put a moratorium on aspartame.
The whole story is
told in the aspartame documentary, "Sweet Misery: A Poisoned
World" and you can get a copy from the producer Cori
Brackett at cori@sweetremedyradio.com Here is a clip with
Attorney Jim Turner discussing Rumsfeld -
http://sweetremedy.tv/soundandfury/pages/rumsfeld.html
Dr.
H. J. Roberts who wrote the 1000 page medical text, "Aspartame
Disease: An Ignored Epidemic" www.sunsentpress.com
explains
why today it is a disease. It is often called "Rumsfeld's
Plague" because he is responsible for it being on the market
when even the FDA would not have approved it. Arthur Hull Hayes
left the FDA under a cloud of improprieties and went to work for the
PR firm of the manufacturer at a $1000.00 a day on a ten year
contract - quite a reward. One article says he was never there
but about 15 days. When Monsanto bought G. .D. Searle Rumsfeld
got 12 million! He caused one of the greatest plagues in human
history. Dr. M. Alemany who did the Trocho Study showed the
formaldehyde converted from the free methyl alcohol embalms living
tissue and damages DNA. When I was in Barcelona he told me
aspartame would murder 200 million people!
To show you
the influence and power, in 1986 the Community Nutrition Institute
and Attorney James Turner tried to have aspartame banned
because it was causing so many seizures and so much blindness from
the free methyl alcohol. . It was taken all the way to the
Supreme Court in Chicago where a judge turned it down.
Who got to him since most know methyl alcohol blinds. Remember
prohibition where thousands went blind or died from wood alcohol?
The FDA at that time was ready to take it off the shelves because I
have a note from someone who was at the FDA meeting.
I filed
a petition for ban in 2002 which by law was suppose to be answered in
180 days but FDA serves above the law. They wrote me they had
more important things to do. In 2007 I filed an amendment for a
imminent health hazard which is suppose to be answered in a week or
ten days. I got the same letter but in 2009 I received a call
from an agent in the FDA by the name of Delaney. He said "it's
not going to happen". I said, "I lecture all over the
world and people are sick and dying everywhere." He said, "So
what, we have to depopulate". So much for the FDA caring
about the health of the public.
Why doesn't the FDA
want to ban aspartame? The news is all over the world and even
the NutraSweet Company in Augusta says they will not make it anymore
after the end of the year. So many millions now know aspartame is
poison and the profits keep going down. If you don't buy it, they
can't sell it. The reason the FDA doesn't want to ban aspartame is
because they have now approved another aspartame product 20,000
times stronger, Advantame. They would also have to ban Neotame,
a stronger version. They know class actions would now
begin.
What needs to be done now? First of all, Dr.
Ralph Walton is doing a birth defect study and anyone who has given
birth since 1984 should complete the form on www.mpwhi.com,
second banner and email to Dr. Walton at rwalton193@aol.com
It will only take 5 minutes and we need thousands. Every single
one is important. Second, there are other G. D. Searle
cancer studies we can't get. Anyone who can get me these
studies they are very important: experimental
identification of the studies on mice reported in the final report by
Hazleton Laboratories Inc. and submitted to Searle Laboratory on 9/6
1974: PTn .984H73:SC18862 and Project n. 700-260.SC19192.I
It
must be remembered that the aspartame industry has strong ties with
regulatory agencies around the world. Look at the reviews by the
European Food Safety Authority, EFSA. Because aspartame couldn't be
proven safe in original studies and the FDA wanted them indicted for
fraud we know you can't ever consider industry studies or those
financed or controlled by them. You must consider scientific peer
reviewed research that is independent and unbiased by researchers
truly looking for truth all over the world. In the last review by
EFSA almost 100% of independent scientific peer reviewed showed the
problems, so EFSA said a great many were unreliable and pronounced
aspartame safe. Newspaper articles said over half the committee had
conflicts of interest. The head of the committee, Dr. Herman Koeter,
resigned putting out a statement that EFSA was pressured by industry
to highjack science. Consumers reading these type reviews are lied
to and believe aspartame is safe to their detriment and many times
demise to the symptoms and diseases triggered or precipitated by
this deadly chemical poison once listed with the pentagon in an
inventory of prospective biochemical warfare weapons submitted to
Congress. (Ecologist, 2005).
The
FDA, Fatal Drugs Allowed folks, who hid the facts should be prosecuted
for lying to the public and must ban aspartame because it violates the
Delaney Amendment and is illegally on the market. It is also adulterated.
Their own records give the facts. Romania banned aspartame because it
causes cancer.
