Aspartame...
How it happens: Methanol, from aspartame, is released in the small intestine when the methyl group of aspartame encounters the enzyme chymotrypsin (Stegink 1984, page 143). Free methanol begins to form in liquid aspartame-containing products at temperatures above 86 degrees F.. also within the human body. The methanol is then converted to formaldehyde. The formaldehyde converts to formic acid, ant sting poison. Toxic formic acid is used as an activator to strip epoxy and urethane coatings. Imagine what it does to your tissues! Phenylalanine and aspartic acid, 90% of aspartame, are amino acids normally used in synthesis of protoplasm when supplied by the foods we eat. But when unaccompanied by other amino acids we use [there are 20], they are neurotoxic. That is why a warning for Phenylketonurics is found on EQUAL and other aspartame products. Phenylketenurics are 2% of the population with extreme sensitivity to this chemical unless it's present in food. It gets you too, causing brain disorders and birth defects! Finally, the phenyalanine breaks down into DKP, a brain tumor agent. In other words: Aspartame converts to dangerous byproducts that have no natural countermeasures. A dieter's empty stomach accelerates these conversions and amplifies the damage. Components of aspartame go straight to the brain, damage that causes headaches, mental confusion, seizures and faulty balance. Lab rats and other test animals died of brain tumors. |
Do you want to bet your brain on its safety?
Monsanto says "Aspartame is the most tested
product in history". Are you sure!
On 12/29/96 60 MINUTES reported on 164 studies. ALL of the 74 studies paid for by NutraSweet showed it was healthy as rain. 83 of the 90 studies by independent labs found problems. FDA commissioner Arthur Hull Hayes approved NutraSweet over the protests of his own Board of Inquiry, then took a lush consultant contract with NutraSweet's public relations firm while he was under investigation for accepting gratuities. Think of it this way: Money paid under the table put the little blue envelopes on the table! COKE and PEPSI KNEW IT WAS POISON
...BEFORE they started to use it!
The Congressional Record of May 7, 1985 printed 6 pages of objections prepared by the National Soft Drink Association: "Aspartame is uniquely unstable ... as the temperature increases the ratio of degradation becomes more pronounced ... at 104 degrees for 20 weeks less than 10% of the original aspartame remained ... soft drinks displayed at a service station may reach 120 degrees." EVERY KNOWN BREAKDOWN PRODUCT OF ASPARTAME IS A POISON! Formaldehyde cocktail anyone It Mimics Diseases: (Aspartame Disease Mimics Symptoms or
