Google Drops Aspartame Article Under Industry Pressure
By Dr. Betty Martini,D.Hum.
November 3, 2007
For a little while yesterday morning, Google carried
Andrea McCreery's report, ASPARTAME, DON'T EVEN CONSIDER IT. Immediately, my
phone started ringing. Are you Nancy Markle? the caller asked. "No", I
replied, "I'm Betty Martini who lectured for the World Environmental
Conference. Nancy Markle signed her name to my original report on my lecture
at the WEC in 1995. It became a shot heard round the world that has helped
millions escape the deadly effects of Aspartame Disease, an Ignored Epidemic,
which happens to be the name of a 1,038 page medical text by Dr. H.J. Roberts.
www.sunsentpress.com He was named The Best Doctor in the United States by a
national medical journal in 1984. The text is dedicated to me and Mission
Possible volunteers and documents the symptoms and diseases I discussed at the
lecture."
Documentation including my invitation to speak is at
www.dorway.com/nomarkle.html Monsanto sold the NutraSweet Company in l999, as
they could not put out the fire with people getting well off the toxin the
world over. Then victims, physicians and activists expanded more operations of
Mission Possible circling the globe. MS victims walked out of wheelchairs,
many blind regained their sight, seizures ceased, joint pain/fibromyalgia and
psychiatric problems disappeared, and women who thought they would never have
children started families. Aspartame is an endocrine disrupting agent,
stimulates prolactin and causes infertility. It's also an abortifacient and
teratogen triggering birth defects and mental retardation should it be used in
pregnancy. It interacts with drugs and vaccines as discussed in the medical
text making no drug safe to an aspartame user.
I downloaded Andrea McCreery's article just in time,
because Google immediately deleted it, though they left it on the menu.
Somebody at aspartame [Diet Coke, Equal, NutraSweet, E951, Ajinomoto, Merisant,
or the other suspects] had the clout to kill the release to continue blinding
consumers about their addictive
neurotoxic, carcinogenic junk. In this case what you don't
know can kill you.
McCreerys article follows below my signature. For 16 years
from the creation of aspartame our FDA denied approval of that chemical
because it causes brain tumors. The agency even compiled a list of 92 symptoms
of aspartame poisoning from over 10,000 volunteered consumer complaints. FDA
now denies there ever was such a list but here it is on their stationery:
http://www.mpwhi.com/92_aspartame_symptoms.pdf It took Don Rumsfeld to leave
his job as head of the company that made aspartame to become Reagan's
Secretary of Defense. The day after President Reagan taking office, Arthur
Hayes, a pharmacologist became the new FDA Commissioner. He over-ruled the
Board of Inquiry that had revoked the petition for approval and then hired on
with NutraSweet's public relations firm. So aspartame was approved not by
science but political chicanery. From the aspartame documentary, Sweet Misery:
A Poisoned World, is a clip by Attorney James Turner explaining how Rumsfeld
committed this deadly deed and poisoned the world: http://www.sweetremedy.tv/pages/rumsfeld3.html
President Reagan even wrote an executive order making the FDA powerless to do
anything about aspartame until Hayes could get to the FDA.
Aspartame's record is one of smarmy anti-science and
political pressure plays. The FDA and CDC have become branch offices of the
profiteers, and these agencies disregard the research and revelations of world
famous doctors. A 3 year study on 1,800 rats by Dr. Morando Soffritti at an
Italian cancer research institute concluded aspartame is a multipotential
carcinogen. It was peer reviewed by seven world experts. For his work Dr.
Soffritti was honored with an award at the Mount Sinai Institute in NYC
earlier this year as he released a new study showing it only takes a small
amount of aspartame to trigger cancer and babies who survive a pregnant women
who used it can grow up to cancer.
Here are the summaries of these two important studies that
confirmed the carcinogenicity of aspartame that FDA acknowledged in original
studies.
The first ERF study (2005) was conducted on 1800 Sprague-Dawley
rats (100-150/per sex/per group). In order to simulate daily human intake,
aspartame was added to the standard rat diet in quantities of 5000, 2500, 100,
500, 20, 4, and 0 mg/Kg of body weight. Treatment of the animals began at 8
weeks of age and continued until spontaneous death. The results show that APM
causes a statistically significant, dose-related increase of lymphomas/leukemias
and malignant tumors of the renal pelvis in females and malignant tumors of
peripheral nerves in males. These results demonstrate for the first time that
APM is a carcinogenic agent, capable of inducing malignancies at various dose
levels, including those lower than the current acceptable daily intake (ADI)
for humans (50 mg/kg of body weight in the US, 40 mg/kg of body weight in the
EU).
The second ERF study (2007) was conducted on 400 Sprague-Dawley
rats (70-95/per sex/per group). In order to simulate daily human intake,
aspartame was added to the standard rat diet in quantities of 100, 20, and 0
mg/Kg of body weight. Treatment of the animals began on the 12th day of fetal
life until natural death. The results of the second study show an increased
incidence of lymphomas/leukemias in female rats with respect to the first
study. Moreover, the study shows that when lifespan exposure to APM begins
during fetal life, the age at which lymphomas/leukemias develop in females is
anticipated. For the first time, a statistically significant increase in
mammary cancers in females was also observed in the second study. The results
of this transplacental carcinogenicity bioassay not only confirm, but also
reinforce the first experimental demonstration of APMs multipotential
carcinogenicity.
The National Soft Drink Association (now American
Beverage) originally protested to Congress against aspartame approval. Their
objections cover many pages in the Congressional Record of 5-7-85.
Coverup is customary for the criminals who concoct this
poison and feed it to half the world. In August the New Zealand Soil & Health
and Safe Food Campaign brought me to their beautiful land for a 3-week lecture
tour and to present official documents and medical reports to their NZ Food
Safety Authority. Abby Cormack's case of poisoning on Wrigley's aspartame gum
in NZ had been making world news. The NZFSA Authority is an agency responsible
to protect New Zealanders from toxic substances, but they refused to see me or
even to accept the federal and medical documents I traveled 10,000 miles to
bring them. Chris Wheeler, Mission Possible New Zealand wrote the most indepth
report on what was going on. http://www.rense.com/general78/dying.htm It was
obvious who was writing the propaganda for the NZFSA since Ajinomoto was using
this as an advertisement on the web.
Reminds me of when there were efforts against aspartame in
New Mexico and I wrote this paper, "Aspartame Makers In A Tizzy" - http://www.wnho.net/aspartame_makers_in_tizzy.htm
It has been 12 years since I actually lectured for the
World Environmental Conference when Dr. Clarice Gaylord of the EPA said: "We
have an epidemic of MS and lupus and can't identify the toxin". I answered,
"I'm here to lecture on MS and lupus and identify that toxin as NutraSweet
(aspartame/E951/Equal/Canderel, etc.). Today it has been fully confirmed.
Besides Dr. Roberts medical text, Dr. Russell Blaylock wrote "Excitotoxins:
The Taste That Kills on the subject". www.russellblaylockmd.com His lecture
"The Truth About Aspartame" discusses the famed Ramazzini Study.
Dr. Gaylord knew MS and lupus was epidemic from field
reports as she discussed with me. Today there is a New report showing MS is
escalating at an incredible rate proving Dr. Gaylord and myself were right.
http://www.mpwhi.com/new_report_at_neurology_conference.htm MS victim Cori
Brackett, co-owner of Sound and Fury Productions, was a heavy diet pop
drinker. In a wheelchair hardly able to talk she had a hard time of it, but
after abstaining from aspartame eventually walked out of her wheelchair as did
many others who read this report. Eight months later her large lesion all but
disappeared. She went on to make the documentary, "Sweet Misery: A Poisoned
World", <http://www.soundandfury.tv>www.soundandfury.tv Other MS victims
appear in this film.
The epidemic of lupus is obvious to explain. James Bowen,
M.D. says "the ability of methyl alcohol/formaldehyde to create antigenicity,
especially as combined in aspartame molecules is so great as to cause severe
autoimmune reactions to the tissues deformed by formaldehyde polemerization,
adduct formation. The immune system turns against the victim's tissues:
Lupus."
It was l996 when 60 Minutes did the story on aspartame and
brain tumors because of famed Dr. John Olney's journal article in Neurology.
Neuroscientist Dr. John Olney founded the field of neuroscience called
Excitotoxicity and tried to prevent approval of aspartame. Dr. Ralph Walton
explained even at this time 92 per cent of independent scientific peer
reviewed studies showed the problems. http://www.dorway.com/peerrev.html In
the last 24 months 13 more studies have shown the toxicity.
I contacted Andrea McCreery and let her know her story had
been deleted. She wrote and said, "Yes, I am aware of the feathers ruffled."
Since I had printed out the article it appears below to prevent the sabotage.
Let's forward it so it will get many times more publicity than it would have,
and show the aspartame industry their attempts are foolish. Keep it going
folks and save a life today. We simply won't allow industry's shenanigans to
continue. The public deserves the facts. Enough is enough of the front groups
as well:

ASPARTAME - "Don't Even Consider It'
By Andrea McCreery
Roseville & Rocklin Today
"In the keynote address by the EPA at the World
Environmental Conference, it was announced that there was an epidemic of
multiple sclerosis and system lupus and they did not understand what toxin was
causing this to become rampant across the United States.
"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 are being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in error.
Multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence; methanol toxicity is.
"Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple
sclerosis, especially in Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. With methanol
toxicity, the victims usually drink three to four 12 oz cans per day, some
even more. In the cases of systemic lupus, which is triggered by aspartame,
the victim usually does not know the aspartame is the culprit. The victim
continues its use and aggravates the lupus to such a degree, that it sometimes
becomes life threatening. When people quit using aspartame, those with
systemic lupus usually become asymptomatic. Unfortunately, this disease cannot
be reversed. 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. In some cases, vision and hearing have returned. This also
applies to cases of Tinnitus. 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".
"The Ambassador of Uganda noted that their sugar industry
is adding aspartame. He continued by saying that one of the industry leader's
sons could no longer walk due in part to product usage. This is a very serious
problem. Additionally, during a visit to a hospice, a nurse said that six of
her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke drinks, had all been diagnosed with MS.
This is beyond coincidence!
"Here is the problem. There were Congressional Hearings
when Aspartame was originally included as a sweetener in 100 different
products. Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings.
Nothing has 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 is
killing people and causing neurological problems. Aspartame changes the
brain's chemistry. It is the reason for severe seizures. This drug change the
dopamine level of 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 use this product. It is
"not a diet product"/ The Congressional record said, "It makes you crave
carbohydrates and will make you FAT." Dr. H. J. Roberts, a diabetic specialist
and expert on Aspartame poisoning, states that when he took patients off of
Aspartame, their average weight loss was 19 pounds per person. 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's 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. It was reported at the Conference of the
American College of Physicians that those patients that switched from
saccharin to an Aspartame product had eventually gone into a coma. Their
physicians could not get their blood sugar levels under control. The patients
suffered acute memory loss, and, eventually, coma and death. Memory loss is
due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are neurotoxins without
the other amino acids found in protein. Thus is goes past the blood brain
barrier and deteriorates the neurons of the brain. Dr. Russell Blaylock, a
neurosurgeon, said "The ingredients stimulate the neurons of the brain to
death, causing brain damage of varying degrees."
"Dr. Blaylock and Dr. Roberts will be writing a position
paper with some case histories and it will be posted 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
reported, "My diabetic patients are suffering memory loss, confusion and
severe vision loss." At the Conference, doctors admitted not knowing why. They
had wondered by seizures were rampant (the phenylalanine in aspartate breaks
down the seizure threshold and depletes serotonin, which causes manic
depression, panic attacks, rage and violence). Just before the Conference,
Norway asked 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, speakers and ambassadors at the
conference from different nations have pledged their help.
Take anything that contain aspartame back to the store.
Monsanto, the creator of aspartame knows how deadly it is. They fund the
American Medical Association, American Dietetic Association, Congress and the
Conference of the American College of Physicians.
On November 15, l996 the New York Times ran an article on
how the American Dietetic Association takes money from the food industry to
endorse their products. Therefore, they cannot criticize any additives or tell
about their link to Monsanto. How bad is this? A mother who had a child on
NutraSweet was told to get off the product. The child was having grand mal
seizures daily. The mother called her physician, who called the ADA and was
told not to take the child off of NutraSweet. The mother can not be convinced
that the Aspartame is causing the seizures. Every time someone gets off
Aspartame, seizures stop.
There are 92 documented symptoms of aspartame, from coma
to death. The majority of them are neurological because Aspartame destroys the
nervous system. Aspartame Disease is partially behind some of the mystery of
the Desert Storm health problems. The burning tongue and other problems
discussed many cases can be directly related to the consumption of aspartame.
Several thousand pallets of diet drinks were shipped to the Desert Storm
troops. (Remember: heat can liberate the methanol from the aspartame at 86
degrees F). These diet drinks sat in the 120 degree F Arabian sun for weeks at
a time on pallets. The serviceman and women drank them all day long. All of
their symptoms are identical to aspartame poisoning.
Additionally, Dr. Roberts says, "Consuming Aspartame at
the time of conception can cause birth defects." According to Dr. Louis Elsas,
Pediatrician and Professor of Genetics at Emory University, in his testimony
before Congress, the phenylalanine concentrates in the placenta, causing
mental retardation. In the original lab tests, animals developed brain tumors;
phenylalanine breaks down in DKP, a brain tumor agent. When Dr. Esposito was
lecturing on Aspartame, one physician in the audience, a neurosurgeon said,
"When brain tumors are removed and studies, high levels of Aspartame were
found in them."
"Stevia or Xylitol, a sweet food and "not an additive"
helps in the metabolism of sugar. It would be ideal for diabetics and has now
been approved as a dietary supplement by the FDA. For years, the FDA has
outlawed this sweet food, because of their loyalty to Monsanto. If it says
"sugar free" on the label - do not even consider it."
