Sweet Misery
A Poisoned World
"Aspartame is inherently, markedly, and uniquely unstable in
aqueous media (liquids)" is a quote from the congressional record in 1985, and
yet it was approved for use in soft drinks and other beverages. So what
happened?
Is there credible evidence if you look beyond the smokescreen of corporate
medicine?
The primary research and interviews have been quite disturbing.
"Methanol [one of the breakdown products of aspartame] has no therapeutic
properties and is considered only as a toxicant. The ingestion of two teaspoons
is considered lethal in humans" (Dr. Woodrow C. Monte, "Aspartame: Methanol and
the Public Health", Journal of Applied Nutrition, Vol. 36, Number 1, 1984, p.
44).
Though it can hardly be considered good fortune to have an immediate reaction to
aspartame, at least you are spared the potential long-term ticking time-bomb of
a large array of neurological illnesses. These include, but are not limited to
Brain Cancer, Lou Gehrig's Disease, Graves Disease, Chronic Fatigue, MS and
Epilepsy.
In 1981 Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld was CEO of Searle, makers of
Aspartame, when it was finally passed by the FDA. Coincidence?
