Aspartame: makes you fat, gives you cancer, makes them billions.

Aspartame is one of, if the the most dangerous substances ever added to food.

Please watch this video, but also please take a few minutes and read this article, you will be absolutely stunned at the tangled web of politics, mysterious deaths and disappearances of doctors, and side switching.  This seems like a fictional thriller but unfortunately it’s real life.  Watch the video, read the article and then make your own decision.

Not only has aspartame been proven to make you fatter, it’s been proven to cause some pretty serious diseases, including mental retardation, brain tumors, cancer, neurological diseases and death.

Don’t take my word for it, the proof is on file already. Aspartame has brought more complaints to the FDA than any other additive-ever. It’s responsible for a full 75 percent of the complaints the agency gets. From 10,000 consumer complaints, the FDA compiled a list of 92 symptoms, including death. (see list below)

The FDA refused to approve it for 16 years.

In fact, Dr. Adrian Gross, the FDA’s own toxicologist, told Congress “without a shadow of a doubt, aspartame can cause brain tumors and brain cancer”  and for 16 years aspartame was not allowed in foods or beverages or anything that humans would consume.

But then, in the early 80s, Donald Rumsfeld made his move into the political arena, joining President Reagan’s transition team. One of the first things he did was appoint a new FDA commissioner, Arthur Hull Hays. And in 1981, despite clear evidence that this neurotoxin induced brain tumors in experimental animals, Hays approved the chemical for public consumption in all foods, supplements and beverages.

A Brief moment about Donald Rumsfeld, who wikipedia lists first as “Businessman” and then “Politician”
From 1977 to 1985 Rumsfeld served as Chief Executive Officer, President, and then Chairman of G. D. Searle & Company, a worldwide pharmaceutical company who produced, you guessed it, aspartame.  At the time, Searle & Company were being brought up on many charges, including fraud but, not to worry, on the American public’s side were two skilled attorneys.  Unfortunately for us, both of those United States Prosecutors, William Conlon and Sam Skinner sat on their hands waiting until the statute of limitations expired, no more trial. What was their reward for failing to do their jobs?

On July 1, 1977 Samuel Skinner left his job as U.S. Attorney to work for the law firm representing G. D. Searle & Company, Sidley & Austin!  Later Skinner went on to become Secretary of Transportation and then Chief of Staff under President Bush’s term then Conlon, the other prosecutor, also accepted a lucrative job with Sidley & Austin, the law firm representing G.D. Searle!

Searle & Company later was purchased by Monsanto. The number of former Monsanto and Searle & Company executives and attorneys who later achieved powerful positions in the government is staggering, even supreme Justice Clarence Thomas was a former Monsanto attorney. on the flip side, the number of people who started out “against” Searle & Company who either flipped sides or reversed their direction and then were gifted with fantasy jobs in the government is amazing.  Arthur Hull Hayes Jr., MD, former head of the FDA, resigned when it was discovered he had been taking bribes from pharmaceutical companies. What was left for Dr. Hayes to do but work for the company who manufactured the neurotoxin NutraSweet, G. D. Searle & Company. In fact The United Press reported on that more than 10 federal officials took jobs at G. D. Searle & Company and other private sector positions which were linked to the aspartame industry. No need to beat them, just hire them and pay better. (or make them disappear, *shudder* see below)

On Sept 8, 2004 an affidavit was signed describing the initial third world studies and the health hazards of aspartame. These studies were conducted in 1983 and 1984 by the J.D. Searle Company.  The "double blind" studies show conclusive evidence that aspartame caused severe health problems and even death to the exposed study group. According to the Affidavit, the doctor directing the studies has been missing since the approval of aspartame in 1984.

Dr. Woodrow Monte published "Aspartame: Methanol and the Public Health". He writes “When diet sodas and soft drinks, sweetened with aspartame are used to replace fluid loss during exercise and physical exertion in hot climates, the intake of methanol can exceed 250 mg/day or 32 times the EPA’s recommended limit of consumption for this cumulative toxin."   There have been cases of people dying after drinking drinks with aspartame, here is just one example CHARLES FLEMING CASE. People are getting sick, children are born retarded and yet no one hears anything about it.

You might wonder why we do not hear about this stuff in the news, well there are many reasons, one of which could be that Donald Rumsfeld was on the Board of Directors of the Chicago Tribune.  He sure gets around doesn’t he…

Dr. John W. Olney, Toxicology specialist, published the following finding: Aspartame caused acute death of nerve cells in the immature hypothalamus in laboratory tests on rats.

In 1970, Dr. Harry Waisman, Biochemist, Professor of Pediatrics, Director of the University of Wisconsin’s Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Memorial Laboratory of Mental Retardation Research and a respected expert in phenylalanine toxicity began conducting tests to study of the effects of aspartame on primates. The study was initiated on January 15, 1970. Seven infant monkeys were given aspartame with milk. One died after 300 days. Five others (out of seven total) had grad mal seizures. Dr. Waisman unexpectedly died in March, 1971 and the study was terminated on April 25, 1971 and the actual results were hidden from the FDA when G.D. Searle submitted its initial applications.

Let’s put this into some perspective. This is not some new wonder drug, a miracle in a pill with the ability to cure cancer, it’s just a damn sweetener, why risk peoples health over a [insert your own expletive here] sweetener?

It’s against the law to expose people to a drug found to induce cancer in experimental animals? It’s called the “Delaney Clause”. Doing so amounts to genocide and treason, both of which, at least for now are still illegal.

Another major problem with aspartame is that it interacts with other chemical substances, including antidepressants, Coumadin, cardiac medications, hormones, insulin, vaccines, and many others. The stuff even interacts with other artificial sweeteners creating terrible chemical cocktails of death.

New research proves that consuming aspartame and other sugar substitutes cause you to GAIN weight! (Bad for you AND makes you fat? seems like a no brainer to me)

Research conducted at Purdue University shows that a group of human test subjects fed artificial sweeteners subsequently consumed THREE TIMES THE CALORIES of those given ordinary sugar. That means the very thing most mainstream doctors recommend for weight loss (diet soda, Sweet-N-low, etc.) is causing us to crave calories and binge on unhealthy carbohydrates. No wonder we’re all getting fatter!

Why? The Big Pharmacies are usually behind such under-the-table deals, but in this case, It’s the Big Food Corporations who use this inexpensive alternative to sugar in huge quantities saving them hundreds of millions over sugar… All at the expense of every man woman and child’s health in the world.

Phenylalanine is structurally closely related to dopamine, epinephrine (adrenaline) and tyrosine.

It is manufactured for food and drink products and is also sold as nutritional supplements for it’s reputed analgesic and antidepressant effects.

Upon ingestion, aspartame breaks down into natural residual components, including aspartic acid, phenylalanine, methanol, and further breakdown products including formaldehyde, formic acid, and diketopiperazine.

Adverse reactions and side effects of aspartame include:

The Ramazzini Foundation of Oncology and Environmental Sciences Cancer Research Centre just released their three year study which confirms the link between aspartame and lymphomas and leukemias

These are not just allergies or sensitivities, but full diseases and disease syndromes. Aspartame poisoning is commonly misdiagnosed because aspartame symptoms mock textbook ‘disease’ symptoms, such as Grave’s Disease.

This is serious folks.  I am not making this up, remember, for 16 YEARS the FDA refused to allow aspartame for human consumption of any type so once Donald Rumsfeld stepped into office he fired that guy and the new guy he hired immediately approved aspartame for all food and beverages for absolute total human consumption with no warnings to the public of any type.  What the hell is going on here?

Aspartame changes the ratio of amino acids in the blood, blocking or lowering the levels of serotonin, tyrosine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and adrenaline. Therefore, it is typical that aspartame symptoms cannot be detected in lab tests and on x-rays. Many textbook disorders and diseases may actually be considered toxic load as a result of aspartame poisoning.

2003—Nutrasweet claims 250 million people worldwide use "high intensity" sweeteners for annual sales of $1.1 billion.

Since its 1981 approval for use in dry goods, aspartame has been approved for beverages, processed foods and medical preparations. Today some 7,000 products contain aspartame.
