Dr. Morando Soffritti of the European Ramazzini Foundation will present the
results of a new study confirming the carcinogenicity of Aspartame on April 23,
2007 at the Mount Sinai Medical School of New York, where he also will
receive the prestigious Irving J. Selikoff Award.
Aspartame, the artificial sweetener made by Searle/Monsanto was found to
cause cancer in laboratory animals already in the original studies
http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/sepp/2006/03/21/aspartame_causes_cancer_original_studies_showe
d_problem.htm that were submitted to the FDA when approval was asked to put
it on the market. The justified doubts of the FDA's scientists were overridden
when Donald Rumsfeld called in his political markers.

Another study conducted in Spain by Trocho et al
http://www.aspartame.ca/page_a14.html came to similar results, identifying a
transformation of parts of
the molecule into formaldehyde as a probable cause. Later, a study of the
European Ramazzini Foundation confirmed the sweetener's carcinogenicity in
laboratory rats and seriously questioned its safety
http://www.laleva.org/eng/2006/02/aspartame_safety_in_question_italian_study.html
. But industry, through the
European Food Safety Authority, succeeded in diverting attention
http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/sepp/2006/05/05/eu_food_watchdog_whitewashing_aspartame_canc
ers_not_due_to_sweetener.htm from the damaging findings, calling them an
artifact of the study's design.
Now, a new, long-term study on Aspartame has been completed giving lower
dosages but confirming, once again, the carcinogenicity of the sweetener. See
the
announcement from the Ramazzini Foundation here:

New aspartame data to be presented at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in NYC,
USA
(Original here http://www.ramazzini.it/fondazione/newsDetail.asp?id=15 )
A second study conducted by the European Ramazzini Foundation (ERF) confirms
the carcinogenicity of aspartame. The results of this study will be presented
April 23, 2007 at the Mount Sinai Medical School of New York, where ERF
Scientific Director Morando Soffritti will receive the third Irving J. Selikoff
Award.
Aspartame is an artificial sweetener consumed by hundreds of millions of
people worldwide. It is used in over 6,000 diet products including soft drinks,
chewing gum, candy, desserts, yogurt as well as in pharmaceuticals, in
particular, syrups and antibiotics for children. In 2005, the European
Ramazzini
Foundation published important experimental data demonstrating the
carcinogenicity
of aspartame. These data demonstrated for the first time that aspartame is a
carcinogenic agent, inducing various types of malignant tumors in rats, even at
dose levels currently considered acceptable for humans.
As soon as carcinogenic effects were perceived during this first study, the
ERF began a second long term experiment, administering aspartame at low doses
in feed to rats beginning during fetal life.
In a world exclusive, Italian news station TG2 announced on April 13th that
the European Ramazzini Foundation will present the results of this second study
at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine at the end of April when Scientific
Director Dr. Morando Soffritti will receive the third Irving J. Selikoff Award.

The FDA has long known of the damaging nature of the sweetener. At one time,
it published a list of 92 diverse side effects and in part serious reactions
to consumption of the stuff.
Here is what Betty Martini, who has been warning tirelessly of the toxicity
of Aspartame, says about the FDA's list:
Aspartame illegal
As many may know, aspartame is on the market illegally. It's adulterated as
discussed by the National Soft Drink Assn (now American Beverage) and in the
congressional record. http://www.wnho.net/congressional_record1.doc Because you
cannot ship an adulterated product for sale it, therefore, violates
Interstate Commerce. Dr. Adrian Gross, FDA toxicologist, told Congress that
aspartame
violated the Delaney Amendment which forbids putting anything in food that
caused cancer in animals. www.wnho.net/whopper.htm It's also a drug, an
addictive
excitoneurotoxic carcinogenic drug that interacts with all drugs and
vaccines, and is masquerading as an additive.
Additives by law must be inert or non-reactive. Inert products do not produce
a list of 92 documented symptoms from 4 types of seizures to coma and death,
nor necessitate a 1038 page medical text. (Aspartame Disease: An Ignored
Epidemic, H. J. Roberts, M.D., www.sunsentpress.com or 1 800 827 7991.) Nor
would
consumers using this product need to be detoxed. "What To Do If You Have Used
Aspartame" by neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D.,
www.wnho.net/wtdaspartame.htm
Here is the Board of Inquiry Report of the FDA revoking the petition for
approval of aspartame, after it kept it off the market many years and they
attempted to have the manufacturer, Searle, indicted for fraud.
http://www.wnho.net/fda_petition1.doc Note in the commentary above it is a clip
from Sweet Misery:
A Poisoned World, www.amazon.com , James Turner, Washington, D.C., attorney
explains how Donald Rumsfeld who was then CEO of Searle called in his markers
and got aspartame, this deadly poison, on the market for human consumption.
Here are the 92 the FDA agreed were symptoms for aspartame. However, there
are many more in Dr. Roberts medical text:
Headache
Dizziness or Problems with Balance
Change in Mood Quality or Level
Vomiting and Nausea
Abdominal Pain and Cramps

Several people have asked for this list so they could forward it to the media
when the manufacturers, front groups and professional organizations funded by
the manufacturers put propaganda in the press. Even the FDA has lied about
the existence of this report. I do have it on FDA stationery which I have faxed
to the press many times when they tried to deny it. This report was gotten
through Freedom of Information.
If you do forward this to the press be sure you always include the Diane
Fleming story who is in Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World, and the Artificially
Sweetened Times
( www.idaho-observer.com ). Her husband died from methanol poisoning from
aspartame and she was convicted of poisoning him
http://www.namastepublishing.co.uk/Diane%20Fleming%20Story%20.htm even after
passing 3 lie detector tests,
and was the one who called the police because she didn't know aspartame
liberates free methyl alcohol. Also we are taking aspartame brain tumor cases
in New
York and New Jersey.

Aspartame is a low calorie sweetener. Called a potent neurotoxin by several
researchers, it is being sold as a sugar substitute for those on low calorie
diets and for diabetics. If you like Coke or Pepsi "light", you certainly are
at
risk, but both industry and health officials deny that there is any truth to
this story. Manufacturers have recently been sued in California. Trade names
for Aspartame are NutraSweet,... [read more] June 10, 2004 - Sepp Hasslberger
