> A RACKETEER INFLUENCED & CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS [RICO]
> complaint has been filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern
> District
> of California. The suit charges the defendants with manufacturing and

> healthful, even for children and pregnant women. Present Secretary of

> For 16 years, the FDA denied approval of aspartame because of
> compelling
> evidence of its contributing to brain tumors and other serious
> disabilities. Donald Rumsfeld, present Secretary of Defense in the
> Bush
> Administration, left President Ford's administration as Chief of Staff
> to
> become the CEO of aspartame producer G D Searle Co. in 1981. Shortly
> after,
> Rumsfeld became the CEO, and the day after President Reagan took
> office,
> aspartame was quickly approved by FDA Commissioner Arthur Hayes over
> the
> objections of the FDA's Public Board of Inquiry. Hayes had been
> recently
> appointed by the Reagan Administration. Shortly after aspartame's
> approval
> by the FDA, Hayes joined NutraSweet's public relations firm under a
> ten
> year contract at $1,000 a day.
>
> Aspartame/NutraSweet was the product of the G. D. Searle Co. In
> January
> 1977, the FDA wrote a 33 page letter to U.S. Justice Department
> Attorney
> Sam Skinner: "We request that your office convene a Grand Jury
> investigation into apparent violations of the Federal Food, Drug and
> Cosmetic Act." Skinner allowed the Statute of Limitations to run.
>
> Three FDA Commissioners and eight other officers and Skinner took jobs
> in
> the aspartame industry.
>
> The Food and Drug Administration once listed 92 adverse reactions from
>
> 10,000 consumer complaints and would send the list to all inquirers.
> In
> 1996 the
> FDA stopped taking complaints and now denies existence of the report.
> Seizures, blindness, sexual dysfunction, obesity, testicular, mammary
> and
> brain tumors and death, plus dozens of other dread diseases named in
> the
> suit arise from the consumption of this neurotoxin.
>
> Defendant Moser, past CEO of NutraSweet, is cited for misrepresenting
> facts
> to public and commercial users with full knowledge of the deceptions.
> The
> toxin is sold to Bayer, Con Agra Foods, Dannon, Smucker,
> Kellogg, Wrigley, PepsiCo, Kraft Foods (Crystal Light), Conopco
> (Slim-Fast), Coke, Pfizer, Wal-Mart and Wyeth (to name a few), who use
> it
> in some of their products, including children's vitamins. These
> entities
> are named in other suits now in California Courts.
>
> Defendant American Diabetes Association's mission is to care for
> diabetics.
> A 35 year ADA member, world famous diabetic specialist H.J.Roberts,
> M.D.,
> discovered aspartame can precipitate diabetes and reacts harmfully
> with
> insulin. ADA rejected his report which was then published in a
> prestigious
> medical journal.
>
> The seven count indictment includes charges for violation of
> California
> Consumers Legal Remedies Act, Fraud, violations of California Civil
> Code
> '1780-1784 and Injunctive Relief: that Defendants be enjoined from
> future
> use/sale of aspartame.
