Aspartame Toxicity 6/2/00
For anyone interested, I just bought a homeopathic designed to detox aspartame(among other artificial sweeteners)!--"Aspartame Homeopathic Detox"--2 oz. (they also sell a Radiation and MSM detox as well--all 3 are tinctures). Herbal Healer Academy News HC32, Box 97-B, Mt.

At timed intervals of up to 6 >hours, the radioactivity in plasma and several organs was investigated. >Most of the radioactivity found (>98% in plasma, >75% in liver) was >bound to protein. Label present in liver, plasma and kidney was in the >range of 1-2% of total radioactivity administered per g or mL, changing >little with time. Other organs (brown and white adipose tissues, >muscle, brain, cornea and retina) contained levels of label in the >range of 1/12th to 1/10th of that of liver. In all, the rat retained, >6 hours after administration, about 5% of the label, half of it in the >liver. The specific radioactivity of tissue protein, RNA and DNA was >quite uniform. The protein label was concentrated in amino acids, >different from methionine, and largely coincident with the result of >protein exposure to labelled formaldehyde. DNA radioactivity was >essentially in a single different adduct base, different from the >normal bases present in DNA. The nature of the tissue label >accumulated was, thus, a direct consequence of formaldehyde binding >to tissue structures. The administration of labelled aspartame to a >group of cirrhotic rats resulted in comparable label retention by >tissue components, which suggests that liver function(or its defect) >has little effect on formaldehyde formation from aspartame and binding >to biological components. The chronic treatment of a series of rats >with 200 mg/kg of non-labelled aspartame during 10 days results in >the accumulation of even more label when given the radioactive bolus, >suggesting that the amount of formaldehyde adducts coming from >aspartame in tissue proteins and nucleic acids may be cumulative. >It is concluded that aspartame consumption may constitute a hazard >because of its contribution to the formation of formaldehyde adducts. >PMID: 9714421, UI: 98378223 > >Mark D.
