OUTSIDE RIGHT PANEL (Front Page) OUTSIDE RIGHT PANEL (Front Page) After MUCH investigation, I believe... Aspartame... = BAD NEWS! What's it IN? Equal Over 9000 products Nutrasweet and growing fast! Spoonful ???? Is it SAFE? NO! Why NOT? It is 50% phenylalanine, 40% asparatic acid, and 10% methyl alcohol (wood alcohol). It breaks down into formaldehyde, and DKP (a tumor agent) In BRIEF! Aspartame is NOT a natural substance! Aspartame is NOT a diet product! Aspartame is NOT safe... for ANYONE! Aspartame is NOT a food "additive", it is an UNREGULATED and UNSAFE DRUG! Aspartame is even worse for DIABETICS! Aspartame poisoning is cumulative... (it adds up!) Excess formaldehyde (+water) gets stored in the FAT! Aspartame has 92 "official" side effects... (FDA calls DEATH one of them!) Aspartame MIMICS many diseases! Aspartame TOXIC effects are... USUALLY MISS-DIAGNOSED! Aspartame's approval by the FDA... was a SHAMELESS travesty! FDA approval for use in EVERYTHING is criminal! The ONLY "CURE"... is total exclusion from the diet! (Did you know aspartame ind. lawyers hired the DoJ prosecutors who were after them!) Aspartame is unfit for human consumption!

RECOVERY! If you use products with aspartame, and have physical, visual, mental problems; ailments the doctors can't seem to cure... then please try the 60-day no-aspartame test. When your symptoms disappear please get involved in removing this deadly neurotoxin from the WORLD markets. Write a letter to the FDA, with a copy to Betty Martini (for proof of how the FDA doesn't keep proper records). Write your congressmen. Return products containing aspartame to the point of purchase... for a FULL refund. Make a big stink if they WON'T give you a full refund, even for opened goods. Tell all your friends and family... and if they stop using aspartame and also "wake up well"... then get them involved! Write the DHHS, FDA and congress. Aspartame is an "approved sweetener" because of a few greedy and dishonest people who placed personal wealth and corporate profits above human life and well-being. It is time for the consumer to wake up... and help to correct this growing health problem. With the FDA and our Congress culpable, only an INFORMED and ACTIVE public will affect its reclassification from "food additive" to TOXIC DRUG, and cause its removal from the human food chain. INSIDE LEFT PANEL Aspartame... The chameleon drug! 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. A recent diet coke test proved that this breakdown happens at refrigerator temperatures. The methanol is then converted to formaldehyde. The formaldehyde converts to formic acid (same as ant sting poison). Methanol, formaldehyde and formic acid (the last two are known carcinogens) are all poisons. Formic acid is an ingredient in paint stripper... so one needs to wonder what it does to the organs. 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 products containing aspartame. Aspartame damage affects ALL users... see the FDA list on the right panel. Finally, the phenyalanine breaks down into DKP, a brain tumor agent. In other words: Aspartame converts to dangerous byproducts against which the body has no natural countermeasures. A dieter's empty stomach accelerates these conversions and amplifies the damage. Components of aspartame go straight to the brain, creating damage that causes headaches, mental confusion, seizures and faulty balance. Twelve of 320 test rats got brain tumors. A control group had none. INSIDE CENTER PANEL Monsanto says "Aspartame is the most tested product in history". Perhaps. One of their fifteen "pivotal" (key) studies proved that six of seven monkeys developed seizures while on aspartame... that ceased with NO aspartame. How does this prove safety? On 12/29/96 60 MINUTES reported on 164 studies. ALL studies paid for by Searle were said to show aspartame was safe.. 83 of the 90 independent studies found problems. Isn't that interesting? FDA commissioner Arthur Hull Hayes approved aspartame over the protests of his own Board of Inquiry. He ignored 16 years of FDA efforts to keep aspartame off the market. Finally, he ignored the Delaney amendment that forbids using a cancer-causing substance as a food additive. COKE and PEPSI KNEW IT WAS POISON The Congressional Record of May 7, 1985 has 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." The "shelf life" of aspartame "in solution" is said to be about 270 days, IF properly stored. Think methanol, that converts to formaldehyde, and phenylalanine that converts to DKP (a tumor agent) and MORE! It Mimics Diseases: (Aspartame Disease Mimics Symptoms or makes Worse the Following Diseases) Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's Disease, Lupus, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS), Diabetes and Diabetic Complications, Epilepsy, Alzheimer's Disease, Birth Defects, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Lymphoma, Lyme Disease, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Panic Disorder, Depression and other Psychological Disorders. INSIDE RIGHT PANEL Symptoms: Abdominal Pain, Anxiety attacks, Arthritis-like pain, Asthmatic Reactions, Bloating, Blood Sugar Control Problems, Brain Cancer (Pre-approval studies in animals), Breathing difficulties, burning eyes or throat, Burning Urination, Chest Pains, chronic cough, Chronic Fatigue, Confusion, Death, Depression, Diarrhea, Dizziness, Excessive Thirst or Hunger, fatigue, feel unreal, flushing of face, Hair Loss (Baldness) or Thinning of Hair, Headaches/Migraines, Hearing Loss, Heart palpitations, Hives (Urticaria), Hypertension (High Blood Pressure), Impotency and Sexual Problems, inability to concentrate, Infection Susceptibility, Insomnia, Irritability, Itching, Joint Pains, laryngitis, Marked Personality Changes, Memory loss, Menstrual Problems or Changes, Muscle spasms, Nausea or Vomiting, Numbness or Tingling of Extremities, Other Allergic-Like Reactions, Panic Attacks, Phobias, poor memory, Rapid Heart Beat, Rashes, Seizures and Convulsions, Slurring of Speech, Swallowing Pain, Tachycardia, Tremors, Tinnitus, Vertigo, Vision Loss, and Weight gain. Aspartame is NOT a "food additive". It IS a dangerous neurotoxin that MUST be removed from our food chain. BUT, WE MUST DO IT!
