National toxicology program aspartame

And why do the manufacturers threaten researchers who do these independent studies? He also decided to do studies on aspartame and seizures, but was threatened by the VP of Searle that if he did his research, his funding would be terminated. Today Dr.

Wurtman refuses to speak out about aspartame, yet MIT is getting funding again. However, he couldn't destroy the paper trail on how deadly aspartame is. Although Wurtman edited "Dietary Phenylalanine and Brain Function," this book is now removed from MIT, but many of his reports are on our web sites explaining the toxicity. Gregory Gordon did an 8 month investigation on aspartame when he was with UPI on www.

The manufacturers manipulate the FDA into helping them prevent new independent studies, by citing the ostensible " studies that show it is safe. Between the early s and , scientists at the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences NIEHS proposed at least four times that the government's leading program for toxicology research fund such studies, the Star Tribune has learned.

The government scientists said they wanted the National Toxicology Program to conduct animal studies to resolve questions about the sweetener's cancer risks. After each of these "nominations," NIEHS officials elected not to pursue the research at the urging of FDA officials, who said they were satisfied with industry-sponsored research that found no health risks.

Louis has rekindled fears that aspartame may cause deadly brain tumors, some present and former NIEHS officials are criticizing the FDA for using its influence to delay research that could have settled some or all of the safety questions. No independent researcher would want the manufacturers to know, because they would threaten, try to prevent and harass them. The studies, just recently released, show just exactly what was expected, that aspartame triggers malignant brain tumors as in original studies, lymphoma, leukemia and even kidney cancer and cancer of the peripheral cranial nerves.

They called it a multipotential carcinogen, which we've known for 25 years! In the 's, G. Searle sacrificed people in South and Central America who were in poor villages. They developed brain tumors and seizures; one pregnant woman began to bleed extensively, lost her baby, and disappeared; and otherwise the studies showed aspartame destroys the brain and central nervous system. Aspartame also hardened the synovial fluids accounting for the agonizing joint pain so many victims complain about.

Searle did not publish these studies, although we have the affidavit of the translator. They promptly closed the Florida office, went back to Illinois, and sent the physician involved to Mexico. Now FDA will just stick with industry and accept the flawed studies instead of the real ones.

They're complaining the Italian researchers didn't kill the rats after 2 years but let them live out their lives. This to determine how many cancers the aged rats would develop, just as my files are full of cancer reports from older Americans. The quicker you kill them, the fewer cancers you find!

Studies in Norway a few years ago showed aspartame destroys the brain, especially in the area of learning. The studies in South and Central America revealed the brain tumors. The manufacturers' own studies in Dr. Olney's office showed aspartame destroys the brain. To hell with the people their poisons kill! This letter has been long and detailed; in order for you to know beyond a shadow of a doubt, as FDA toxicologist, Dr. Gross, told Congress, that aspartame is indeed a carcinogen.

Roberts' medical text, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, is pages of diseases and horrors that this toxin causes. As an abortifacient and teratogen it has destroyed millions of babies in their mother's womb and caused ADD, Autism, ADHD, Tourette's, mental retardation and a host of other horrors to our children.

Governor Richardson, thank you for your courage to get junk food out of school. Please just remember "no sweeteners," as they mostly are all chemicals except for Just Like Sugar available in Whole Foods and the sweet herb Stevia. There are products like Xylitol that can cause some bloating but nowhere near as bad as what it is presently in soft drinks.

With the information I am giving you in this letter, you and the legislators can strongly stand up to and reject the complaints of the lobbyists for the corporations which include Ajinomoto, Altria Corporate Services Kraft-Philip Morris , the Glutamate Association of America, Pepsi Cola and Coca Cola, when your excellent legislative efforts in this realm come before the legislature.

Attorney General Madrid and Deputy Attorney General Bluestone, please show the same kind of courage in your legal research and your eventual Opinion for the Pharmacy Board, that they can move forward to hear evidence on the neurotoxicity of aspartame in medications, vitamins, and aspirin, despite the fact that this neurodegenerative product technically retains its ill-gotten FDA approval.

Aspartame has caused an epidemic of obesity and diabetes. It also aggravates and simulates diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy and interacts with insulin. It's a drug that makes you crave carbohydrates as Dr. Wurtman has reported. Even in the UPI investigation, it was reported physicians who spoke out to Congress were put on a yacht and the aspartame manufacturers tried to change their mind.

No one disagrees they have bottomless checkbooks, but they also intimidate, threaten and have no concern for how many perish on their poison, and this should be prosecuted in due course by racketeering statutes, because purely and simply, racketeering is precisely what they do!

If aspartame were safe, consider they would not have to manipulate studies, and try to prevent any independent studies, just as Ajinomoto is trying now to prevent any inquiries about aspartame's neurotoxicity from two New Mexico Boards! In one of the manufacturers' press releases on the new Italian study, they commented that they thought it was criminal that the regulatory people were not advised. In other words, what they are saying is that they had no opportunity to change the results by purchasing the researchers' loyalty!

Blaylock said their study confirmed the previous study by Dr. Trocho and co-workers that also found the formaldehyde breakdown product of aspartame to be damaging to cellular DNA and that this damage was cumulative. Similarly, when aspartame manufacturers and their front groups like the Calorie Control Council say the recent Italian studies by the Ramazzini Foundation don't go along with other carcinogen studies, they are lying; they are trying to compare the truthful new one from Italy to ones they controlled to get the result they wanted.

And the Trocho people were intimidated terribly. Please don't forget Dr. Blaylock's words in Aspartame Makers Tell A Whopper: "This study should terrify mothers and all those consuming aspartame sweetened products. This was a carefully done study that clearly demonstrated a statistically significant increase in several types of lymphomas and leukemias in rats.

Both of these malignancies have increased significantly in this country since the widespread use of aspartame. If they didn't exercise their powers given to them by the legislature in statutes, they would be of no use to the people. Kary Mullis, Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry for inventing the Polymerase Chain Reaction "The fact is that you can not start off with bad science and end up with good medicine".

Tags: None. Ajinomoto's lawyer wrote that he would argue, "that federal approval of aspartame prevents the Board from outlawing it. A precedent was given in the conclusion of the EIB, after hearing extensive medical and even more extensive legal arguments. If you examined further the FDA approval, you would see that it was illegally approved. First of all, it's a drug, and not an additive. An additive BY LAW requires that it be inert, the symptoms and diseases would not be filling a page medical text, and there wouldn't be 92 documented symptoms on the FDA report.

Aspartame is about as inert as Mt. Vesuvius when it erupts! Aspartame not only failed the adulteration statutes, but also was considered by the National Soft Drink Association to be an adulterant; this is part of the congressional record. Interestingly, the FDA admitted aspartame could not be heated and then gave heed to the wind and approved it for baking.

So when the Government did a study, they found a lot of the troops had Lou Gehrig's. What would you expect? One lady who had an aspartame brain tumor said she was in a support group in Texas that had 70 vets, all with brain tumors. Remember that aspartame interacts with vaccines. They didn't have a chance. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to recognize the truth: that the manufacturers had full knowledge of their crime. The evidence is already piled so high there is no way the manufacturers could win on honest grounds.

They left a paper trail like their trade secret information explaining their knowledge. In the last paragraph they said: "With the spoon-for-spoon, we have no way of estimating maximum likely abuse and hence need to utilize data based on almost complete conversion to DKP. If we include this use in the original FAP, we stand a good chance of ending up with nothing in the short run and nothing in the long run, whereas the other approach would give us something in the short run and quite likely as much as we would ever get in the long run.

How can the manufacturers even try to fight? The evidence of their many crimes is detailed in numerous government and public domain records. They describe the Pharmacy Board's enabling statute as an anti-fraudulent labeling law. This is correct, but that is not all this statute is. If aspartame were labeled correctly, the label would say: "Genocide: Keep out of reach of humans.

Realizing it was a poison she got her mother off of it and saved her life. Up till that point, she had been away planning her funeral in her hometown. In the background of all of these considerations, there is so much product liability involved a paper could be written on it, perhaps a worthy future endeavor for your Civil Division, Madame Attorney General?

The manufacturers label aspartame diet when in fact, it makes you gain weight. It is labeled as an additive instead of drug. It liberates free methyl alcohol, which is against the law, and methanol is classified as a narcotic.

The chronic methanol poisoning is what affects the dopamine system of the brain and causes the addiction as discussed in Dr. Roberts's medical text. Can you imagine, our children being given a narcotic and a neurodegenerative metabolite like formaldehyde in their vitamins, aspirin, prescription drugs and food? If someone in the New Mexico Attorney General's staff or in a private New Mexico Plaintiff's firm wanted to investigate product liability and fraud, aspartame fits every definition perfectly.

The attorneys speak of the Board's Discretionary Right to Refrain from Proceeding saying "even if the Board were to conclude it has the power, it can refrain from doing anything. To stop the people of New Mexico from being poisoned! Ajinomoto's lawyers maintain that the Board lacks the expertise of the FDA, which approved aspartame. In the beginning, over 16 years from to , the FDA did not approve aspartame; it declined the petition for approval.

That man was Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes, and Reagan was so concerned he actually wrote an executive order to make the current FDA Commissioner powerless to do anything about aspartame until he could get Hayes there to do his deadly deed! The rest of Ajinomoto's argument is more babble because they really have nothing to say in its defense which legally viable. The Board does not lack the resources to address the issue.

The Board has access to physicians and experts to bring them the evidence, and plenty will testify to counter what we anticipate from the corporate "rental" physicians, pediatricians, and toxicologists. We have most of the documents and studies. And then Ajinomoto's lawyer's foolish statement: "The two distinct pending requests - relating to aspartame and mercury - may not be the only ones filed. If the Board entertains these, others could follow.

If there are other poisons, they should follow. Any person of integrity would not want citizens to be destroyed by poisons. Next, Ajinomoto's lawyer says that "if the Board decides to proceed, it first may need to adopt rules of substance and procedure governing this process.

If the rules of substance and procedure are seen to be substantially spelled out and delineated in the New Mexico statutes in the sections of the Drug Act concerning adulteration, mislabeling, and other concerns, surely you as Governor and you as Attorney General might accept that the Pharmacy Board with 6 pharmacists on it, can easily determine appropriate rules of substance and procedure on its own, and not facilely or sloppily accept the corporate-substituted procedures prepared by Ajinomoto's lawyers.

Next, the Ajinomoto lawyer asks: "A. NTP strives to remain at the cutting edge of scientific research and the development and application of new technologies for modern toxicology and molecular biology.

A world leader in toxicology research, NTP has evaluated more than environmental substances for potential human health effects. Skip to Main Navigation. The Commissioner of the U. This reminds me of the saccharin story.

We needed better human data. Indeed, people were only studied for five years, which is certainly better than 18 weeks, but how about 18 years? All eyes turned to Harvard, where researchers had started following the health and diets of medical professionals before aspartame had even entered the market.

Why more cancer in men than women? A similar result was found for pancreatic cancer and diet soda, but not soda in general. In fact, the only sugar tied to pancreatic cancer risk was the milk sugar, lactose. The same enzyme that detoxifies regular alcohol is the very same enzyme that converts methanol to formaldehyde.
