Aspartame:
(L-aspartyl L-phenylalinine methyl ester)
Today we have "Nutra-Sweet", which is widely used in a plethora
of consumables, despite a demonstrated neurological reaction in some people. In
February 1996, it was decided to also use the product name "Benevia".
It is estimated that as many as 20,000,000 people cannot metabolize
phenylalimine, and this inability is genetically inherited by children. The
inability to metabolize phenylalinine can lead to mental retardation in
children. This means a risk of retardation for millions of children. A
multi-billion dollar enterprise, this substance is said to be
"refined" from “natural”substances. Like other
"refined" substances, it represents a health threat to the general
public. No long term studies have been performed to evaluate the physiological
effects of this substance, yet the public is lead to believe it is absolutely
safe. Technically, the chemical is called aspartame, and it was once on a
Pentagon list of biowarfare chemicals submitted to Congress. [1] Aspartame is in over 4,000 products
worldwide and is consumed by over 200 million people in the United States alone.
What follows is a skeletal examination of the chronology related to aspartame. A
more detailed chronology is given later in this chapter based on information
provided to us by the Aspartame Consumer Safety Network.
Aspartame: History of Fraud and Deception
Aspartame is produced by G.D. Searle Company, founded in 1888 and located
in Skokie, Illinois. Searle is now owned by others. It is about 200 times
sweeter than the refined sugar that it is meant to replace, and it is known to
erode intelligence and affect short-term memory. It is essentially a chemical
weapon designed to impact populations en masse. It is an rDNA derivative made
from two amino acids, L-phenylalanine, L-aspartic acid and methanol. Originally
discovered during a search for an ulcer drug in 1966, it was
“approved” by the FDA in 1974 as a “food additive”.
Approval was followed by a retraction based on demonstrated public concern over
the fact that the substance produced brain tumors in rats. According to the 1974
FDA task force set up to examine aspartame and G.D.Searle, “we have
uncovered serious deficiencies in Searles operations and practices, which
undermine the basis for reliance on Searle’s integrity in conducting high
quality animal research to accurately determine the toxic potential of its
products.” The task force report concluded with the recommendation that
G.D. Searle should face a Grand Jury “to identify more particularly the
nature of the violations, and to identify all those responsible.” [2]
In 1976, an FDA “task force” brought into question all of G.D.
Searle’s aspartame testing procedures conducted between 1967 and 1975. The
final FDA report noted faulty and fraudulent product testing, knowingly
misrepresented product testing, knowlingly misrepresented findings, and
instances of irrelevant animal research. In other word, illegal criminal
activity. Understandably scared, Searle officials sought to suppress the FDA
findings and obstruct justice. They turned to Nixon and Ford administration
operative Donald Rumsfeld and elected him “chairman of the Searle
organization.” In 1977, the Wall Street Journal detailed the fact that
Rumsfeld made efforts to “mend fences” by asking “what Searle
could do” in the face of the changes. Also in 1977, Dr. Adrian Gross, a
pathologist working for the FDA, uncovered evidence that G.D.Searle might have
committed criminal fraud in withholding adverse data on aspartame. [3]
The FDA requested that U.S. Attorney Samuel Skinner be hired to
investigate Searle’s aspartame testing procedures in January 1977. Samuel
Skinner was the federal prosecutor responsible for convincing the Grand Jury to
investigate whether Searle willfully and criminally withheld data that cast
doubt on the safety of aspartame. In February 1977, Skinner met with Searle
attorneys at the Chicago law firm of Sidney & Austin. Suddenly, newly
elected President Carter announced that Skinner would not remain in office, and
Skinner thereafter announced that he would be hired by Sidney & Austin.
Obviously, Skinner then had to recuse himself from the Searle prosecution. The
case was taken over by U.S. Attorney William Conlon, who essentially sat on the
case, despite complaints from the Justice Department, which was urging that a
grand jury be convened to prosecute Searle Company for falsifying Nutra-Sweet
test data. Failing to preform his duty, Conlon also joined Searle’s law
firm in January 1979.
Skinner’s defection from the FDA might have been prompted by the
results of the review of the Searle studies. David Hattan, deputy director of
the FDA Division of Toxicological Review and Evaluation, concedes that anyone
reading the orginal FDA investigation reports is likely to be
“shocked” by what they reveal. He says that the ensuing review of
the Searle studies, in which he was involved from the time of his arrival in
1978, was one of the most thorough in the agency’s history. It included an
unprecedented hearing before a public board of inquiry composed of experts from
outside the agency. Arthur Hayes, Jr., then Commissioner of the FDA appointed by
Reagan, agreed with Searle and the FDA’s Bureau of Foods (now the Center
for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition) that “an appropriate analysis of
the data showed no significant increases in tumor incidence in rats exposed to
aspartame or DKP, one of the breakdown products of aspartame. The board of
inquiry rejected concerns that aspartame’s components could cause
neurological damage.[4]
In 1981, under pressure from the soft drink lobby, FDA Commissioner Hayes
approved the initial use of aspartane in dry foods and as a tabletop sweetner,
discounting public complaints as anecdotal and ignoring three FDA
scientists.[5] who voiced the fact that
there were serious questions concerning brain tumor tests after having done an
in-house study. Hayes was widely profiled as a man who believed that approval
for new drugs and additives was “too slow” because “the FDA
demanded too much information.” Hayes also ignored the fact that the
biased scientific studies paid for by Searle were faulty.[6] After leaving the FDA, Hayes took the post
of senior medical consultant for the public relations firm retained by
Searle..[7] A subsequent inquiry
“found no improprieity”.
In July 1983 it was approved for use in soft drinks in the United States,
followed three months later by approval in Britain by the Ministry of
Agriculture. All this was done despite the fact that the Department of Defense
knew that aspartane was neurotoxic and harmful to human health. These facts were
deliberately suppressed by the government. It is also interesting that in 1981
FDA scientist Dr. Robert Condon, in an internal government document, said
“I do not concur that aspartame has been shown to be safe with respect to
the induction of brain tumors.” All safety was thrown aside because of
pressure from Searle. Considering the connections the drug companies have to the
medical and intelligence community, it would not be surprising that there were
other factors involved in the pressure to adopt aspartame into the diet of the
population.
In 1984, the Arizona Department of Health began testing soft drinks to
ascertain the level of toxic deteriorization by-products in soft drinks. It was
determined that soft drinks stored in elevated temperatures promoted more rapid
deteriorization of aspartane into poisonous methyl alcohol (methanol). The FDA
decided to ignore these results. Public complaints about the effects of
aspartane began to come in. People complained of headaches, dizziness, vomiting,
nausea, blurred vision, seizures, convulsions and a host of other reactions to
aspartane.
Also in 1984, the Centers for Disease Control made the fraudulent
announcement that “no serious, widespread” side effects of aspartame
had been found. It was an outright lie, and this announcement was quickly
followed by another from PepsiCo that it was dropping saccharin and adopting
aspartame as the sweetener it all its diet drinks. Others followed suit, despite
the January 1984 broadcast on CBS Nightly News where the chief scientist for the
FDA task force investigating Searle publicly stated that Searle company
officials made “deliberate decisions” to cloak aspartame’s
toxic effects.
When a human comsumes "Nutra-Sweet", it breaks down above
85° not only into its constituent amino acids, but into methanol, which
further breaks down into formaldehyde, which is carcinogenic[8] and very toxic, as well as formic acid and
a brain tumor agent called diketopiperazine (DKP). In a meek attempt to ward off
further public inquiry, the FDA in 1984 announced that “no evidence has
been found to establish that aspartame’s methanol by-product reaches toxic
levels”. This was a direct lie, since Medical World News reported
in 1978, six years earlier, than the methanol content of aspartame is 1,000
times greater than most foods under FDA control. Furthermore, the methanol in
aspartame is “free methanol”, which is never found in nature.
Methanol in nature is always accompanied by ethanol and other compounds which
mitigate the methanol when introduced into the body.
In 1985, Searle Company was bought by Monsanto, the maker of other
insidious substances that manage to find their way into human food, including
Bovine Growth Hormone (BGH). Senator Metzenbaum, commenting on the FDA relative
to the aspartame issue in 1985 said, “the FDA is content to have Searle
conduct all safety tests on aspartane. That’s absurd.”
Supreme Court Collusion in Aspartame Coverup
Clarence Thomas Former
Monsanto Lawyer
In 1986, the Washington Post reported that the Supreme Court refused to
consider arguments that the FDA had not followed proper procedures in approving
aspartame, despite arguments that the product “may cause brain
damage.” (Supreme Court obstructing Justice). Since Clinton-appointed
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is a former attorney for Monsanto.[9] ,it is unlikely that hundreds of millions
of people will find redress. There are also indications of ties between Monsanto
and elements in the CIA.
University of Illinois Fraudulent Study on Aspartame
In August of 1987, the University of Illinois, a recipient of funding from
Monsanto, issued a study “exonerating aspartame of causing seizures in
laboratory animals.” The fact that they were paid by Monsanto
automatically invalidates the results. U.S. Senate hearings in 1987 showed that
G.D.Searle used “psychological strategy” to get regulators at the
FDA “into a yes-saying habit” to “bring them into a
subconscious spirit of participation.” .[10] More than half of 69 medical researchers polled by the FDA in
1987 said they were concerned about aspartame’s safety.[11]
FDA Ignores Complaints of Neurological Symptoms
In 1989, the FDA received over 4,000 complaints from people who described
adverse reactions. Because the FDA conveniently lists aspartane as a “food
additive”, it removes the legal requirement for adverse effect reporting
to any Federal agency and the necessity for safety monitoring processes.
Research also indicates that aspartame, when combined with glutamine products
(such as MSG, widely used in foods) increase the likelihood of brain damage
occurring in children.[12]
Aspartame Affecting Airline Pilots
Some of the more interesting developments in 1989 surfaced in the Palm
Beach Post on October 14th, where an article by Dr. H.J. Robert described
several recent aircraft accidents involving confusion and aberrant pilot
behavior caused by ingestion of products containing aspartame.[13] Soft drink makers were notified of this
problem in 1991. It is interesting to note that after Samuel Skinner left Sidney
& Austin, Searle’s law firm, he was appointed Secretary of
Transportation. Hence, he was in charge of the FAA, just in time to head off
complaints from pilots affected by aspartame. His wife was employed by Sidney
& Austin. Later as George Bush’s Chief of Staff in 1991, during the
Gulf War, he was in a position to head off all inquiries relative to asparatame,
no matter where they were directed - to the FDA, FAA or Department of Defense.
This constitutes criminal negligence and racketeering. George Bush, of course,
was an ex-director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
British News: "Nutrasweet Tests Faked"
On July 20, 1990, an article in the national British newspaper The
Guardian, entitled “NutraSweet test results ‘faked’”,
revealed that the British government had finally been persuaded to review the
safety of aspartame after “receiving a dossier of evidence highlighting
its potential dangers.” According to The Guardian, the dossier alleged
that laboratory tests were falsified, tumors were removed from laboratory
animals and animals were ‘restored to life’ in laboratory
records.[14] The dossier against
NutraSweet was compiled by Erik Millstone, a lecturer at the Science Policy
Research Unit at Sussex University and author of two books on food additives. It
was based on thousands of pages of evidence, much of which was obtained under
the Freedom of Information Act. The COT, Committee on Toxicity, was at the time
looking into consumption of artificial sweeteners and did not possess the key
documents covering alleged mishandling of the safety tests which Millstone was
asked to provide.
The British Ministry of Agriculture and Department of Health have never
revealed the evidence upon which approval was given in England for the
distribution of aspartame, maintaining that “these are matters of
commercial confidence.” The British government does not testing of its own
but relies on safety tests provided by the manufacturer, which of course
constitutes a conflict of interest. The 1990 article quoted the British
Department of Health as saying “NutraSweet is not a health hazard on the
available evidence, but people do suffer ‘ideosyncratic reactions’
to food additives.” Interestingly, it was pointed out that three out of 14
members of the Committee on Toxicity have direct or indirect links with the
artificial sweetener industry, according to David Clark, the Labour Party
Agriculture spokeman, who requested a Parliamentary Answer to address questions
of conflict of interest. Aspartame is also sold in England under the product
name “Canderel.” In 1990, the market for asparatame in England was
estimated at £800 million.
Aspartame Dosing of the Military in the Gulf War
During the 1991 Gulf War, all military personnel were provided free supplies of aspartame-laced soft drinks together with experimental vaccines, nerve gas antidotes and personal insecticides. They were also treated to direct biochemical warfare compounds. The result is Gulf War Syndrome, which is communicable and deadly, and 50,000 military personnel and their dependents are wasting away before our eyes. Criminal negligence? Of course. Criminal conspiracy? Yes. Genocide? Probably - we’re waiting to see.
Aspartame Alters Brain Chemicals That Affect Behavior
Independent tests on animals have shown that aspartame alters brain
chemicals that also affect behavior. The chemical nature of aspartame was also
shown to defeat its own alleged “purpose” as a “diet
aid”, since high doses instill a craving for calorie-laden carbohydrates.
Then, the aspartame-carbohydrate combination further increases the effect of
aspartame on the brain.[15]
Fraudulent Claims of Aspartame as a "Diet Aid"
Interestingly, even the American Cancer Society confirmed that users of
artificial sweeteners gained more weight than those who didn’t use the
products, further undermining the supposed “purpose” for the
existence of aspartame in the food.[16]
Haven’t we heard this kind of criminal fraud before?
The major selling point of aspartame is as a diet aid, and it has been
demonstrated that the use of this product actually causes people to consume more
food. Normally, when a significant quantity of carbohydrate are comsumed,
serotonin levels rise in the brain. This is manifested as a relaxed feeling
after a meal. When aspartame is ingested with carbohydrates, such as having a
sandwich with a diet drink, aspartame causes the brain to cease production of
serotonin, meaning that the feeling of having had enough never materializes. You
then eat more foods, many containing aspartame, and the cycle continues.
Monsanto’s profit from its NutraSweet Division was $993 million in 1990.
Governments Continue Suppression and Coverup on Aspartame
In 1991, the National Institutes of Health.[17] listed 167 symptoms and reasons to avoid the use of aspartame ,
but today it is a multi-million dollar business that contributes to the
degeneration of the human population, as well as the deliberate suppression of
overall intelligence, short-term memory[18] and the added contribution as a carcinogenic environmental
co-factor. The FDA and the Centers for Disease Control continue to receive a
stream of complaints from the population about aspartane. It is the only
chemical warfare weapon available in mass quantities (should keep the cone-heads
happy) on the grocery shelf and promoted in the media. It has also been
indicated that women with an intolerance for phenylalinine, one of the compoents
of aspartame, may give birth to infants with as much as a 15% drop in
intelligence level if they habitually consume products containing this dangerous
substance.[19]
FAA Collusion in Suppression of Facts on Aspartame
The March 1995 issue of The Pacific Flyer published a pro-aspartame
article in which it stated, “the Federal Aviation Administration conducted
its own cognitive research and, according to experts, found no contraindications
that would prevent pilots, or anyone, from ingesting aspartame.” This
flies in the face of consistent reports from pilots who maintain they have
suffered severe and dangerous repercussions in the air after drinking soft
drinks containing aspartame. Virtually every time, symptoms disappeared when
aspartame-laced drinks were discontinued.[20] Over 600 pilots have reported this problem.
FDA "Findings" on Aspartame Remain Based on Faked Tests
So, the faked Searle tests remain. The FDA bases its findings on the faked Searle tests, and the Journal of the American Medical Association, examining the FDA findings, based on the faked Searle tests, announced “the consumption of aspartame poses no health risk for most people.” Searle officials argue that the use of aspartame as an artificial sweetener “has been officially approved not only by the FDA, but by foreign regulatory agencies and the World Health Organization” - based on Searle-sponsored aspartame research, not independently conducted tests.
Symptoms of Aspartame Intoxication: Minimal to Severe
The symptoms of aspartame intoxication include severe headaches, nausea, vertigo, insomina, loss of control of limbs, blurred vision, blindness, memory loss, slurred speech, mild to severe depression often reaching suicidal levels, hyperactivity, gastrointestinal disorders, seizures, skin lesions, rashes, anxiety attacks, muscle and joint pain, numbness, mood changes, loss of energy, menstrual cramps out of cycle, hearing loss or ringing in the ears, loss or change of taste, and symptoms similar to those in a heart attack. In addition, aspartic acid chelates (combines) with chromium - which is a necessary element for proper operation of the thyroid gland. People who consume large quantities of aspartame may end up with a false diagnosis of Graves disease and suffer allopathic irradiation of their thyroid gland for no reason. Complaints about aspartame represent 80-85% of all food complaints registered with the FDA. More than 6,000 complaints have been made concerning the effects of aspartame. Thirty independent doctors and scientists have conducted research on the adverse effects of aspartame or have compiled supporting data against its use.The use of NutraSweet® or Equal® should be seriously curtailed or stopped.
Aspartame Use Part of Planetary Biomedical Genocide
The fact that tons of aspartame is pumped into the world population each year, knowingly and deliberately, especially with the historical and documented record of fraud and misrepresentation, constitutes a conspiracy of the highest order, as well as criminal negligence. The rewards of continued use are increased profits for the medical and pharmaceutical industries and chemical companies who produce aspartame and treat people suffering from the effect of it. Aspartame is the only biochemical warfare product on grocery shelves. And, the band plays on ....
