NutraSweet ,The Sweet Poison that Should have Never Been

Currently, about seventy percent of adults and forty percent of children consume aspartame in one form or another. Coincidentally, brain tumors in the United States have been steadily on the rise since the early 1980s when aspartame was approved.  Aspartame-NutraSweet-Equal-Aspartame Symtoms- Aspartame Posioning

Some of the reactions to Aspartame include the initiation or aggravation of diabetes mellitus, hypoglycemia, convulsions, headache, depression, hyperthyroidism, hypertension and arthritis; the simulation of multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, some cancers and lupus erythematosus; aspartame addiction; and it is linked to brain tumors as well as weight gain.

Aspartame was discovered in December of 1965, while James Schlatter was recrystalling aspartame from ethanol, the mixture spilled onto the outside of the flask. Some of the powder got onto his fingers. Later, when he licked his fingers to pick up a piece of paper, he noticed a very strong sweet taste. He realized that the sweet taste might have been the aspartame. So, believing that the dipeptide aspartame was not likely to be toxic, he tasted a little bit and discovered its sweet taste.

This very sweet substance is made up of  three components. These components are methanol, aspartic acid and phenylalanine (the latter being free form amino acids). Let’s take a look at one of them methanol or aka wood. Methanol is colorless, poisonous, and flammable. It is used for making formaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl t-butyl and ether (a gasoline additive as well as other things like paint strippers. This poison can be inhaled from vapors, absorbed through the skin, and ingested. People go blind from drinking it. With aspartame there are two break down components  (formaldhyde and formic acid. Both of these can have devastating effects even in small amounts and can be especially damaging when introduced with excito-toxins.

The Aspartic acid, in aspartame, is also an excitotoxin. An excitotoxin, is a deleterious substance that excites or over-stimulates nerve cells. This occurs in the brain, as well as the peripheral nerves, because aspartic acid, in free form, is an absorption accelerant & easily crosses the blood-brain barrier.

n 1976, an FDA “task force” brought into question all of G.D. Searle’s aspartame testing procedures conducted between 1967 and 1975. The final FDA report noted faulty and fraudulent product testing, knowingly misrepresented product testing, knowingly misrepresented findings, and instances of irrelevant animal research. In other word, illegal criminal activity. Also in 1977, Dr. Adrian Gross, a pathologist working for the FDA, uncovered evidence that G.D.Searle might have committed criminal fraud in withholding adverse data on aspartame.

Understandably scared, Searle officials sought to suppress the FDA findings and obstruct justice.Searle then brings in Donald Rumsfeld, who was a former member of the U.S. Congress and the Chief of Staff in the Gerald Ford Administration, was hired as G.D. Searle’s President. Attorney James Turner, Esq. alleged that G.D. Searle hired Rumsfeld to handle the aspartame approval difficulties as a “legal problem rather than a scientific problem.” (US Senate 1987).

In a powerful video documentary called “Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World”, aspartame investigator Cori Brackett pieces together key interviews with doctors, scientists, attorneys, and FDA investigators. Most troubling is the body of evidence pointing to the fact that former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld used his considerable political influence to cause the FDA to approve aspartame, knowingly putting hundreds of millions of people at risk.
