ASPARTAME DISEASE   a global epidemic

Aspartame, alias Nutrasweet, Equal, Spoonful, Equal Measure, Canderel - is made up of three chemicals. Phenylalanine, excess of which in the brain can lead to depression and schizophrenia: a single dose of aspartame raises blood phenylalanine levels.
Aspartic acid raises blood plasma levels of glutamate, an excitotoxin, high levels of which kill cells by over-stimulation. Early diagnosis of this is not possible because over 75% of neural cells in a particular area of the brain may be killed before any clinical symptoms of chronic illness are detectable.
Methanol - wood alcohol - is a highly toxic substance, which is speedily absorbed by the body when taken with the two other poisons. It breaks down into formic acid and the carcinogenic formaldehyde.
80% of complaints on food additives, received by the US Food and Drug Administration, are about aspartame. The FDA lists 10,000 aspartame complaints, with 92 reactions, including death.
The effects include mania, rage, violence, blindness, joint-pain, fatigue, weight-gain, chest pain, coma, insomnia, numbness, depression, tinnitus, weakness, spasms, irritability, nausea, deafness, memory-loss, rashes, dizziness, headaches, seizures, anxiety, palpitations, fainting, cramps, diarrhoea, panic, burning in the mouth....
Diseases triggered include diabetes, MS, lupus, epilepsy, Parkinson's, tumors, miscarriage, infertility, fibromyalgia, infant death, Alzheimer's...
Aspartame, a "diet aid" makes you FAT, by suppressing the brain’s reaction to serotonin, the substance which tells you to stop eating when you are full: you then crave carbohydrates in increasing quantity.
"Joyce was full of life, not overweight but wanting to stay slim ... she thought it was a diet product not a drug … She gained 35 pounds ... She went to 34 doctors. Joyce was going blind. No-one knew methanol ... converts to formaldehyde in the retina ... aspartame disease mimics MS as it destroys the nervous system ... She finally became a vegetable ... Joyce lost her fight for life." Richard Wilson
"... I have not used aspartame for 3 months. I can now think straight, my blood pressure is stable for the first time in 13 years and my diabetes ... is virtually cured … I have doubled my food intake, knowing that my blood sugar levels will remain at acceptable, non-diabetic amounts."   J.James   D.Express Oct 01.
 HOW THE POISON WAS PASSED AS SAFE
Aspartame was discovered by a chemist called Schlatter, working for the G.D.Searle Company: then it was marketed as Nutrasweet. Ignoring objections, on safety grounds, from many scientists, the FDA Commissioner, Dr A.H.Hayes, approved the product licence. Hayes later went on to a well-paid job with a Searle company: as did four other FDA officials involved with the approval.
           ASPARTAME IS MADE FROM GENETICALLY-ENGINEERED BACTERIA BY MONSANTO. 	
The American Diabetic Association is paid large amounts of money, by Nutrasweet, to endorse its product: methanol is deadly to diabetics. Nutrasweet writes the "fact sheets" for the American Dietetic Association. Ribena pays the British Dental Association to endorse its aspartame drinks.
"We are talking about a plague of neurological disease, caused by this deadly poison."  Conference of the American College of Physicians.
"The only responsible action would be to immediately take aspartame off the market, fully disclose its toxicities, offer full compensation to the injured public and criminally prosecute anyone who participated in the placement of aspartame on the market. That includes those who work so diligently to keep it there as well".   Dr James Bowen
ASPARTAME IS FOUND in Diet and non-diet drinks, mints, chewing gum, frozen desserts, multi vitamins, pharmaceuticals, milk drinks, instant teas and coffees, yoghourt ... and lots more.
ICELAND FOODS HAVE NOW BANNED ASPARTAME FROM THEIR OWN-BRAND PRODUCTS.
ACTION: READ THE LABELS, stop buying aspartame, stop your children buying it, demand that your education authorities stop schools selling aspartame drinks etc., confront your supermarkets. Request that your MP asks why the government continues to put the profits of its corporate pals before public safety and national health economics.
