Aspartame

Well to start with it is a non disputed fact that Aspartame, when it dissolves into the different chemical substances, that formaldehyde is one of the by products that it leaves behind in our system,this as you know is a very toxic substance and rarely found in living organisms, and is a very carcinogenic substance (cancer causing substance.) the use of this substance has been banned in many different countries.At concentrations above 0.1 ppm in air, formaldehyde can irritate the eyes and mucous membranes,So why are we putting something into our mouths that creates this substance in the body.One can only imagine what damage it is doing as it breaks down in our system
The FDA was mentioned in other post, well here is something that was sent In an open letter to the FDA by The late FDA Toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross, testified to the Senate: "In view of all these indications that the cancer-causing potential of aspartame is a matter that had been established way beyond any reasonable doubt, one can ask: What is the reason for the apparent refusal by the FDA to invoke for this food additive the so-called Delaney Amendment to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act? Is it clear beyond any shadow of a doubt that aspartame has caused brain tumors or brain cancer in animals?

"Given that this is so (and I cannot see any kind of tenable argument opposing the view that aspartame causes cancer) how would the FDA justify its position that it views a certain amount of aspartame (50mgm/kgm body weight) as constituting an ADI (Allowable Daily Intake) or "safe" level of it? Is that position not equivalent to setting a "tolerance" for this food additive and thus a violation of that law? And if the FDA itself elects to violate the law, who is left to protect the health of the public?" Your toxicologist admitted you broke the law by approving aspartame!!!
FDA broke other laws, as shown in the National Soft Drink Associations long protest against approval, found in the Senate Congressional Record of 5/7/85 Pages S5507-9: Section 402 of the FDC Act 21 provides a food is adulterated if it contains, in whole or in part a decomposed substance or if it is otherwise unfit for food. Searle has not demonstrated to a reasonable certainty that aspartame and its degradation products are safe for use in soft drinks. ... Aspartame is inherently markedly and uniquely unstable in aqueous media. In a liquid such as a soft drink aspartame will degrade as a function of temperature and pH.When responsible scientists, physicians and legislators try to protect us from these criminals the industry with bottomless checkbooks annihilate our rights and welfare. Arizona DHS studies showed aspartame in beverages breaks down into free methanol, wood alcohol, formaldehyde, diketopiperazine, formic acid (among other toxins), and a ban of aspartame was being considered. In 1985 Dr. Woodrow Monte, Director of Food Science and Nutrition Lab, Arizona State University, petitioned for a hearing to ban aspartame, because high temperatures in that state accelerate methanol and formaldehyde formation. By an unusual maneuver the legislature altered the text in a Toxic Waste Bill so to ban regulation of FDA-approved food additives. This scuttled the hearing Dr Monte had been promised.

So as you can plainly see, there is a massive cover up going on over Aspartame and as been going on for years. we as ordinary people are being poisoned. thats not just my opnion.

The Truth is out there

Does seems excessive yes, i agree. Two points to remember here though. firstly, who actually tells us what are the safe limits of intake, of course it's the people who make the stuff in the first place.So can we really trust that source given the nature of the cover up. Secondly, The intake and production of the toxic chemicals build up over time. if you eat less of this stuff it just takes longer until it has an effect on your biology. although saying that, if you take a normal persons diet who are sugar free because of diabetes for instance, its not excessive to have two canderal in your tea, 6 to 8 cups a day, works out at 72 to 96 tablets a week, not to mention the bits that are included in the food products like pudding, fruit drinks ect. bet that soon adds up in the week, it is'nt just a case for most people that they just put it in tea or coffee, its in most sugar free and low sugar products.
