It also INTERACTS WITH INSULIN. Aspartame is as dangerous for diabetics as it is for pregnant women, as it is a teratogen and triggers birth defects and mental retardation. All of this is explained in Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, by diabetic specialist, H. J. Roberts, M. D. which even has a chapter on drug interactions, and aspartame interacts with just about every drug used to treat the problems it causes. www. aspartameispoison. com or www. sunsentpress. com Dr. Roberts position paper on aspartame and diabetes and hypoglycemia, and the Diabetic Journal of India, 16 pages on the dangers of aspartame to the diabetic, are on www. dorway. com Please note that aspartame not only destroys the brain but especially in the area of learning which accounts for the global epidemic of ADD. This is discussed in Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills by neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M. D., www. amazon. com Studies were also done on humans in South America and again showed aspartame destroyed the brain but the original manufacturer, Searle, did not publish the studies because they showed aspartame to be a killer in many ways with subjects having grand mal seizures and even in 18 months triggering astrocytomas and glioblastomas. They also showed that aspartame destroys the central nervous system and hardens the synovial fluids accounting for the agonizing joint pain aspartame victims suffer from. For all reading this please pass it along to saturate the globe. Aspartame is also a GM product. Read on for the abstract. Complete study to be translated soon. Betty Martini, Founder, Mission Possible International, 9270 River Club Parkway, Duluth, Georgia 30097, 770 242-2599 www. dorway. com Tue, 5 Feb 2002 14:06:35 EST ABSTRACT of Norwegian Aspartame Study BettyM19 ABSTRACT Introduction: Aspartame (ASM) is a product that was originally made for diabetics, but today ASM is widely used by healthy people as artificial sweetner in manyfood products. Purpose: The main goal with this research was to see whether ASM was harmful tobrain cells (cerebellar granule cells). We wanted to check if the damage to the neurons are connected to the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-receptors on these cells. Procedure: Brain cells from 7 day old mice were used. They were cultured in 24well dishes and different quantities of ASM were added. After 7 days the cultures were analysed by two different tests: Lactate dehydrogenases (LDH)test, which gives a picture of cell death (LDH leakage to the medium in which the cells were cultured). 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromid (MTT) test, which can be used to analyse mitochondrial activity inliving cells. To test whether the NMDA-receptor was involved in the damage done by ASM, the receptor was blocked by (±)-2-amino-5 phosphonopentanocid (AP5). Results: Our results showed damage/cell death from an added quantity of 0,06mg/ml ASM each day for 4 days. As a comparison there is 0,24 mg/ml ASM in Colalight MTT- and LDH-tests showed damage to the neurons at an added quantity of 1.5and 3.00 mg/ml ASM after 22 hours of incubation. The results also show that ASMis in part acting through the NMDA-receptor because AP5 reduced or blocked the damage to the granule cells. Conclusion: In light of these results our conclusion is that in order to be on the safe side it should be warned against use of ASM as a food additive, maybe especially in products consumed by children, because NMDA-receptors and the synapses involved also are connected to learning.
