I found this on a list I subscribe to........ Check this out. Scary stuff!!!!!! Do you guts eat this stuff?
>WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE >and the >MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS FOUNDATION >F.D.A. ISSUING FOR COLLUSION WITH MONSANTO >Article written by Nancy Markle (1120197) > >I have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on >"ASPARTAME marketed as 'NutraSweet,' 'Equal,' and 'Spoonful".' In the keynote >address by the EPA, they announced that there was an epidemic of multiple >sclerosis and systemic lupus, and they did not understand what toxin was >causing this to be rampant across the United States. I explained that I was >there to lecture on exactly that subject. > > When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in >ASPARTAME coverts 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 were >being diagnosed with having multiple sclerosis in error. The multiple >sclerosis is not a death sentence, where methanol toxicity is. > > In the case of systemic lupus, we are finding it has become almost as >rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. >Also, with methanol toxicity, the victims usually drink three to four 12 oz. >Cans of them per day, some even more. In the cases of systemic >lupus, which is triggered by ASPARTAME, the victim usually does not know that >the aspartame is the culprit The victim continues its use aggravating the >lupus to such a degree, that sometimes it becomes life threatening. When we >get people off the aspartame, those with systemic lupus usually become >asymptomatic. Unfortunately, we cannot reverse this disease. > > 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. We have seen cases where their vision has returned and even their >hearing has returned. This also applies to cases of tinnitus. During a lecture >I said "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!" People were jumping up during the lecture >saying, "I've got this, is it reversible?" It is rampant. Some of the speakers >at my lecture even were suffering from these symptoms. In one lecture attended >by the Ambassador of Uganda, he told us that their sugar industry is adding >aspartame! He continued by saying that one of the industry leader's son could >no longer walk - due in part by product usage! > > We have a very serious problem. Even a stranger came up to Dr. Espisto >(one of my speakers) and myself and said, 'Could you tell me why so many >people seem to be coming down with MS? During a visit to a hospice, a nurse >said that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been >diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence. Here is the problem. There were >Congressional Hearings when aspartame was included in 100 different products. >Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, but to no >avail. Nothing as 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 dmgs as cyanide and arsenic-- >DEADLY POISONS!!! Unfortunately, it just takes longer to quietly kill, but it >is killing people and causing all kinds of neurological problems. > > Aspartame changes the brain's chemistry. It is the reason for severe >seizures. This drug changes the dopamine level in 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 take this product. It is NOT A DIET >PRODUCT!!! The Congressional record said, "It makes you crave carbohydrates >and will make you FAT." Dr. Roberts stated that when he got patients off >aspartame, their average weight loss was 19 pounds per person. The >formaldehyde stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. > > 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 is 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. People were telling us at the >Conference of the American College of Physicians, that they had relatives that >switched from saccharin to an aspartame product and how that relative had >eventually gone into a coma. Their physicians could not get the blood sugar >levels under control. Thus, the patients suffered acute memory loss and >eventually coma and death. > > Memory loss is due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are >neurotoxic without the other amino acids found in protein. Thus it goes past >the blood brain barrier and deteriorates the neurons of the brain. Dr. Russell >Blaylock, neurosurgeon, said, "The ingredients stimulates the neurons of the >brain to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees. Dr. Blaylock has >written a book entitled "EXCITOTOXINS: THE TASTE THAT KILLS" (Health Press >1-800-643-2665). Dr. H.J. Roberts, diabetic specialist and world expert on >aspartame poisoning, has also written a book entitled "DEFENSE AGAINST >ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE" (1-800-814-9800). Dr. Roberts tells how aspartame >poisoning is escalating Alzheimer's Disease, and indeed it is. As the hospice >nurse told me, women are being admitted at 30 years of age with Alzheimer's >Disease. Dr. Blaylock and Dr. Roberts will be writing a position paper with >some case histories and will post it 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 said "his diabetic patients presented memory loss, confusion, and severe >vision loss." At the Conference of the American College of Physicians, doctors >admitted that they did not know. They had wondered why seizures were rampant >(the phenylalanine in aspartame breaks down the seizure threshold and depletes >serotonin, which causes manic depression, panic attacks, rage and violence). > > Just before the Conference, I received a FAX from Norway, asking 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, we had speakers and ambassadors at the Conference from >different nations who have pledged their help. We ask that you help too. Print >this article out and warn everyone you know. Take anything that contains >aspartame black to the store. Take the "NO ASPARTAME TEST" and send us your >case history. > > I assure you that MONSANTO, the creator of aspartame, knows how deadly it >is. They fund the American Diabetes Association, American Dietetic >Association, Congress, and the Conference of the American College of >Physicians. The New York Times, on November 15, 1996, 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? We told a mother who had a >child on NutraSweet to get off the product. The child was having grand mal >seizures every day. The mother called her physician, who called the ADA, who >told the doctor not to take the child off the NutraSweet. We are still trying >to convince the mother that the aspartame is causing the seizures. Every time >we get someone off of aspartame, the seizures stop. If the baby dies, you know >whose fault it is, and what we are up against. There are 92 documented >symptoms of aspartame, from coma to death. The majority of them are all >neurological, because the aspartame destroys the nervous system. > > Aspartame Disease is partially the cause to what is behind some of the >mystery of the Dessert Storm health problems. The burning tongue and other >problems discussed in over 60 cases can be directly related to the consumption >of an aspartame product. Several thousand pallets of diet drinks were shipped >to the Dessert Storm troops. (Remember heat can liberate the methanol from the >aspartame at 86 degrees F.) Diet drinks sat in the 120 degree F. Arabian sun >for weeks at a time on pallets. The service men and women drank them all day >long. All of their symptoms are identical to aspartame poisoning. Dr. Roberts >says "consuming aspartame at the time of conception can cause birth defects." >The phenylalanine concentrates in the placenta, causing mental retardation, >according to Dr. Louis Elsas, Pediatrician Professor - Genetics, at Emory >University in his testimony before Congress. > > In the original lab tests, animals developed brain tumors (phenylalanine >breaks down into DXP, a brain tumor agent). When Dr. Espisto was lecturing on >aspartame me, one physician in the audience, a neurosurgeon, said, "When they >remove brain tumors, they have found high levels of aspartame in them." > > Stevia, a sweet food, NOT AN ADDITIVE, which helps in the metabolism of >sugar, which would be ideal for diabetics, has now been approved as a dietary >supplement by the F.D.A. For years, the F.D.A. has outlawed this sweet food >because of their loyalty to MONSANTO. > > If it says "SUGAR FREE" on the label-- DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!l! >Senator Howard Hetzenbaum wrote a bill that would have warned all infants, >pregnant mothers and children of the dangers of aspartame. The bill would have >also instituted independent studies on the problems existing in the population >(seizures, changes in brain chemistry, changes in neurological and behavioral >symptoms). It was killed by the powerful drug and chemical lobbies, letting >loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting public. Since the >Conference of the American College of Physicians, we hope to have the help of >some world leaders. Again, please help us too.
