I did think it was included in that post but after reading your post, noticed it was not. http://www.kayted.com/health/Aspratame2.pdf It's very easy to find the source. Here is how you do it. You take a portion of the post you are interested in, cut & paste it, and then put it in the google search engine. The first 10 referals on google came up with the original source. Article written by Nancy Markle John La Tourrette, PhD PS see below for the 'cut & paste' I used. > William Leigh > - If it says " SUGAR FREE, " on the label, DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hey Doc, I forwarded your post on to about 4 people and one sent me this link back. Just how deep do you think those pockets are? I've NEVER liked or trusted anything synthetic, even sweeteners. http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/aspartame.asp I'm interested to get your thoughts on this. ~KT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Dr. Mercola has had many warnings about various diet sweetners. I hope more people choose to stop or at least slow down on drinking junk soda pops even if it has real sugar. Most likely those now have high fructose corn syrup since it is cheaper than sugar. I do like an occasional root beer, something like once or twice a year. Mary Nelson www.eft4everyone.com docspeed2001 wrote: If it says "SUGAR FREE," on the label, DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I was curious about what SNOPES said so I clicked the link and found this: "to date, the FDA has not determined any consistent pattern of symptomsthat can be contributed to the use of aspartame, nor is the agency awareof any recent studies that clearly show safety problems"And from the FDA site, this: "However, FDA has continued to review complaints alleging adverse reactions to products containing aspartame. To date, FDA has not determined any consistent pattern of symptoms"From WWW.SCRIBD.COM:on this web page: 92 Aspartame Symptomsyou will find a photocopy of the FDA letter to Mrs. Louise Martini which states: This is in response to your request of April 19, l995, requesting a copy of the aspartame reporty (CDC/FDA - 1994), and the current report on aspartame complaints" What then follows are several memorandum from the Department of Health and Human Services discussing the 92 aspartame symptoms, and which does show consistent pattern of symptons, reported to the FDA. Included in one -- dated Aprl 20, l995 -- is the following statement: "Since l980 the FDA has received 7232 complaints of adverse reactions attributed to the use of aspartame." ===================Would it be that the FDA cannot read its own data wherein it outlines the number of reports (from 107 to 1, 847)on the various symptoms. Would it be that the FDA is conveniently myopic to the data (numerous independent studies)that is available and that is not anecdotal and does show aspartame to harmful to human health, such as the following: ASPARTAME AND PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERSBy Ralph G. Walton, M.D.MISSION POSSIBLE WORLD HEALTH INTERNATIONALIn this report Dr. Walter states"Nevertheless, I was so convinced of aspartame's toxicity, and the need to have its hazards more widely appreciated in the medical community, that I did undertake a double blind study. That study- "Adverse Reactions to Aspartame: Double- Blind Challenge in Patients from a Vulnerable Population" was published in Biological Psychiatry in 1993. It demonstrated that individuals with mood disorders are particularly sensitive to aspartame and experienced an accentuation of depression and multiple physical symptoms. I had expected that the difficulties experienced by patients receiving aspartame would be fairly subtle (the dose of 30mg/kg/day was well below the level of 50mg/kg/day which the FDA considered "safe"). I was not prepared for the severity of the reactions, and for obvious ethical reasons cannot perform any further human studies with aspartame."And what of other studies: Following is a clip from this web page: Recent Independent Aspartame Research Results (1998 - 2007)"An analysis of peer reviewed medical literature using MEDLINE and other databases was conducted by Ralph G. Walton, MD, Chairman, The Center for Behavioral Medicine, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine. Dr. Walton analyzed 164 studies which were felt to have relevance to human safety questions. Of those studies, 74 studies had aspartame industry-related sponsorship and 90 were funded without any industry money.Of the 90 non-industry-sponsored studies, 83 (92%) identified one or more problems with aspartame. Of the 7 studies which did not find a problems, 6 of those studies were conducted by the FDA. Given that a number of FDA officials went to work for the aspartame industry immediately following approval (including the former FDA Commissioner), many consider these studies to be equivalent to industry-sponsored research.Of the 74 aspartame industry-sponsored studies, all 74 (100%) claimed that no problems were found with aspartame. This is reminiscent of tobacco industry research where it is primarily the tobacco research which never finds problems with the product, but nearly all of the independent studies do find problems.The 74 aspartame industry-sponsored studies are those which one inveriably sees cited in PR/news reports and reported by organizations funded by Monsanto/Benevia/NutraSweet (e.g., IFIC, ADA). These studies have severe design deficiencies which help to guarantee the "desired" outcomes."Also, several independent studies are given at the above web page.To understand the political chicanery that went on in order to get aspartame approved, read here: Aspartame's FDA Approval Process Shows Significant Flaws - Dr. Janet Starr HullAs to Snopes, I have found they are wrong on many things and no longer consider them to be a reliable sourceof information. g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Thanks, Simple enough. I know way too many people on the diet drinks. I always thought they were a little debilitating. Got excited when you posted this and almost sent it to everyone in my address book. Then remembered your words of wisdom about looking for sources. I should have figured that out before I clicked Send. I started thinking about it a little later and realized that that I jumped when I should have been holding my foot!
