Former FDA Investigator Exposes Aspartame As Deadly Neurotoxin

[Guest guest]

Rumsfeld's conflict of interest and ASPARTAME: Rumsfeld was president of Serle

corporation! part of Reagan transition team,and got aspartame 'legalized' by

appointing a defense department contractor(Hayes) as head of FDA!

Former FDA Investigator Exposes Aspartame As Deadly Neurotoxin That Never

Should Have Been ApprovedFrom Betty Martini Bettym19

 

 

To all my neighbors of all nations, here is an Open Statement concerning

the artificial sweetner, Aspartame, by Arthur M. Evangelista, a former FDA

Investigator...

I am a former investigator who worked with the US Food and Drug

Administration: This is what I have to say about Aspartame and the people who

brought it to our tables.

As a former FDA investigator, I was charged with overseeing two major

projects for the FDA. These concerned Pesticides and Chemicals in Foods and

Illegal Drug Tissue Residues in Animals (including milk related issues).

I worked closely with the sister Federal and State agencies, oversaw

contracts, I was a co-ordinator and lead investigator on projects involving EPA

and USDA. The FDA, in the mid-70's to mid-90's was not a large organization,

having an annual budget no greater than a medium-sized hospital by 1995.

The problems with aspartame include not only the biochemical nature of this

toxin but also it sheds light on the political nature of the players involved.

The changes in regulatory policies and regulations resulting from

corporate-government ties and the politicians closely associated with these

ties.

What I can tell you, regarding toxicology, histology and biochemistry, is

that aspartame is neurotoxic. Its components easily transcend the blood-brain

barrier, interfering with normal nerve cell function. This affects the

glutathione and calcium mechanisms in place, destroying nerve call integrity.

The methanol then breaks down into formaldehyde-formic acid components, which

denaturizes/mutates the DNA: a known scientific fact. The subsequent result from

this interaction and from isolates of genetically modified amino acids, the

methanol, is nerve cell necrosis and subsequent organ system degradation.

The hypothalamus alone (the major controller for much of the endocrine

system), is at especially high risk to these effects...thereby, affecting many

other organ systems. I have seen first hand the effects on symptoms when

individuals have abstained from ingesting the artificial sweetener, aspartame.

Make no bones about it, aspartame is a major factor in many symptomologies due

to its effects upon brain chemistry.

ORGANIZED RHETORIC

Coming from a family and relatives of physicians, I know only too well that

if there was even a chance that something was wrong with a patient, a truly

committed physician would thoroughly investigate any etiology (or cause)

regarding an illness (both chronic and sub chronic), rather than retain a

close-minded approach to the available data. This just boggles my mind when

those, who are supposed to know better; choose to adhere to the organized

rhetoric of industry-backed misinformation, without giving the true scientific

facts an opportunity to sink in. At the least, consider the possibilities. I

guarantee, the truth will then become self-evident!

The biggest lie told, is one of self-deceit; not to mention, all the people

made ill and killed in the process of 'ignorant medicine' eg a doctor has sold

his skills and MD diploma to industrial chemical manufacturers, pharmaceutical

firms or even to governmental associations!! Money is money...right,Doc?

Prior to the approval of aspartame, the FDA sent two specialized teams to

G.D. Searle and found a ghastly 95% level of misdirected testing; concealed

tests, collusion between corporate and their company-funded research;

inappropriate antemortum issues; withholding of material facts; alterations of

records: lying to investigators, lost records, no records; falsification of

reports, bribery, poor test methodology or design...et al.

FDA investigators Brodsky and Bressler, both seasoned federal investigators,

each led investigative teams to review Searle's lab practices. These practices

at Searle were despicable and should have been thrown out. This is a fact. The

actual report are displayed on http://www.dorway.com Unfortunately, many ethics

in the law were also violated during this time period, by the various government

departments in the USA. This was further corrupted by politicians involved with

corporate constituents who in turn affected the regulatory process in favour of

these constituents. Another name for this, of course, is 'bribery'.

FAVORABLE INFLUENCES

This was nothing less than full-blown collusion. The 'revolving door' at the

FDA, is very much a reality. Former corporate officials, who began working for

the Food and Drug Administration (and vice versa), were very cavalier about

issues uncovered at Searle surrounding their drug processing and issues involved

with aspartame. Some, with a hidden agenda of promised secret money or better

jobs, actively hindered the investigation into G. D. Searle's laboratory

practices. It is obvious when you see the records and numbers and where those

jobs were. These are a matter of public and Congressional Record. Subsequently,

many former FDA officials, due to their 'favorable influences' with regulatory

enforcement and rulings, were in fact, rewarded with corporate positions and

lucrative incomes, including former FDA Commissioner Arthur Hull Hayes, who was

about to be brought up on ethics and misconduct charges!

The whole process was (is still) rotten throughout. The various dependent

research completed on aspartame proves this (in part,a chemical warfare agent)

is a neurotoxin. It is unlike any other compound on the market. Each of its

three components are toxic.

The only people I have met or communicated with, who have steadfastly

refused to look at this picture for what it is, have been found to have other

agendas, other than the truth. Not even a sceptic, like my brother ( a chief

microbiologist) could ignore the factual evidence of aspartame's neurotoxicity

when presented with the evidence. Being a sceptic is one thing, but to deny the

evidence, the motives and the pieces of a rather complex and sordid puzzle with

common denominators, is ludicrous; you would have to be braindead. To still

adhere to the narrow focus of the corporate spin-doctors and corporate-back

rhetoric from federal regulators, means that you have clearly chosen to

purposefully close your mind to the evidence and/o you are operating with a

pro-industry (hidden) agenda.

There is rampant corruption in these processes and it behoves all educated,

law enforcement and scientific-minded individuals to look at the entire picture

to piece together one of the biggest travesties in public health history. The

common thread which ties everything together is; the strong political

influences, the monumental amounts of money used to purchase the souls of those

who have placed greed above common sense, public health and the trust of public

office.

REMEMBER AGENT ORANGE?

As an investigator, I found this hard to believe at first, that so many

factors have come together to collude in such a way, to allow aspartame into our

food supply. Regardless of how I initially felt about it, the evidence is

factual .....it happened. Now we have to do something about it, because it is

nothing less than MASS MURDER.

Additionally and historically, many recalled products, including FDA

regulated products, were once thought safe. DDT was once thought to be safe,

remember?

History of the regulatory problems, fraud, deceit and scientific corruption

with various drug products would serve you well to remember here.

Regulatory problems and corruption resulting in mass-illness or deaths with

various prescription drugs and drug-tissue residues in foods (antibiotics) which

was known by the FDA since the mid 80's, perpetuating further our problems with

antibiotic resistant germs.

Remember Agent Orange? How long did it take the US government to even

acknowledge that there was a problem with spraying a dioxin compound all over

the Asian forests during Vietnam? Monsanto never said a word during this period;

no chemical manufacturer did. It was years before the veterans, who gave their

lives or whose lives were ruined, were even given the acknowledgement that there

was a problem. The Gulf War Veterans were in the same boat for a while. Maybe

someone will pay attention to their plight.

Many policies, I found out, were not made to protect the public health, but

rather, to provide leverage at appropriation time before Congress and to protect

the industry and their political government. This is especially true when they

were paid for their 'services' by the pharmaceutical or chemical industries.

This is what I call 'social cancer'. Many systems for protecting the public

health are (were) less than effective...making very little difference on public

health issues. Much of it was for 'show' and for funding. It was the folks in

Rockville and Washington who made the final decisions on how to play most of

these issues out. Unfortunately for us, it was not to favor the public health

processes. The entire process reeks of political and corporate influence. Many

mainstream media newscats and reports have exposed this problem.

SPIN-DOCTORS

There are regulatory or enforcement agencies that have questionably close

ties with industry, aside from an unethical revolving door. These ties are even

illegal in some aspects and compromise an agency's ability to regulate. It

compromises not only the integrity of the agency, but the information being

disseminated, as well. Everything becomes suspect. Then the spin-doctors are

called into action.

THE EVIDENCE IS THERE

So tell me then, why do government agencies support and make policies around

industrial concerns, like pharmaceutical or chemical manufacturing firms? The

answer is easy: Money and/or power! Why aren't government agencies remaining

impartial? Somebody has a little influence, that is why and, this influence is

not in the public's best interest. Follow the money trail.

The truth has been difficult to come by. Investigators, lay people,

teachers, educators, regulators and whistleblowers have, piece by piece, put

this highly complex puzzle together and now see this issue for what it is. The

evidence is there. Unfortunately, I have found that many physicians, including

those who can make substantial incomes from treating the effects of the

neurotoxin aspartame (and other medically 'healable' issues) would rather people

did not find out about its effects on brain chemistry. Giving doctors the

benefit of the doubt, if they do not consider aspartame poisoning as a cause for

concern or instigator of symptoms, they are simply not very good investigators.

Then may be the doctor should try carpentry or other non-patient related work.

In truth, doctors have a business. This is a sub-set of business treatment

practices that is making money based on the introduction of a poisonous product.

I also found out that the large government health association and many other

so-called health groups, have received substantial money, contributions, or

stipends from industry regarding their products.

BUSINESS GOES BEFORE PUBLIC HEALTH

This includes certain public health associations - the very people who are

supposed to be helping the public, who for legal reasons cannot be named here,

they like many others, diabolically support aspartame and the money it has made

them. They are businesses... and business goes before public health. Look at any

health association and check out the list of their contributors and tell me what

you see.

FACTS:

Regarding aspartame, I have written articles about this substance, they

explained the processes that allowed aspartame into the marketplace, through

various reports and information uncovered whilst I was with the agency and

afterwards, with the help of other investigators and agency data. Much of this

information is available for review, you can draw your own conclusions.

Open your mind. Know that the government-corporate issues have shocked us

before, to our collective dismay. I urge you to consider all the factors; ...

the political, physiological and regulatory processes which created the mistaken

and unfortunate acceptance of this toxin in our food supply. This information is

not 'what I think' nor how I feel...

...It is a fact, that ASPARTAME SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN APPROVED based on the

information submitted to the FDA, including the information that was not

submitted. It is a fact that politics and those with 'hidden agendas' illegally

affected the regulatory processes, misused and abused their authority, to bring

to market this toxic food additive.

If you drink aspartame and have experienced health problems, then cease your

consumption of it (and its cousin MSG) for 60 days and see if your symptoms

disappear. You have nothing to lose. If you do not follow this simple experiment

for 60 days, you could lose your life. Additionally, educate yourselves. It is

your body, your health and your life.

Note from Betty Martini, Founder, Mission Possible Intl (www.dorway.com -

770 242-2599), global unpaid volunteer force warning the world off aspartame:

Updates: The European Parliament has voted to re-examine aspartame. They will

also examine Stevia which got outlawed for no reason except to keep consumers

using the toxin aspartame. There are at least 500 studies on Stevia showing

safety and you can contact the Stevita Company in Dallas, Texas, Oscar Rodes

(petro). The actual consumption by humans without a single report

of undesired side effects over a long period of time (30 years in Japan, 15

years in Brazil in the extract form, and centuries in Paraguay and Brazil on the

leaves form) demonstrates that the product is safe for its intended use - that

is as a sweetener. It is the salvation of diabetics as it helps in the

metabolism of sugar whereas aspartame can precipitate diabetes, keeps blood

sugar out of control, destroys the optic nerve, can cause diabetics to go into c

No drug is safe on the market as long as aspartame exists as it interacts with

just about every drug used to treat the problems it causes completely outlined

in a chapter on drug interaction in Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic by

Roberts. One out of four are having drug interactions! Two-thirds of the

population in America and 40% of our children are using this deadly chemical

poison that interacts with drugs and as a chemical hypersensitization agent

interacts with vaccines, other toxins and unsafe additives.

I have filed a Citizens Petition with the FDA based on the fact their

records show aspartame to be deadly and yet they lie to the public. They have

been told not to send their FDA propaganda rag, the FDA Consumer or a packet of

Federal Registers. The law requires they answer in six months. It has been 10

months and they have not answered. To read the entire Board of Inquiry report of

the FDA saying not to approve aspartame and the famed Dr. John Olney's paper to

the Board of Inquiry telling them what would happen to the brains of our

children go to www.greatfallspro.com Mission Possible Maine. They supply special

equipment to read the original documents.

Please contact Betty Martini, Bettym19 (770 242-2599) if you

have suffered brain tumors, seizures or blindness or eye deterioration from

aspartame for class action.

I leave you with the profound words of James Bowen, M.D., who has Lou

Gehrigs from aspartame in his paper Aspartame Murders Infants, Violates Federal

Domestic GEnocide Law: " Aspartame is sold as NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful,

Canderel, Benevia, E951, etc., and is in thousands of foods and diet drinks. At

every point in the fertility process aspartame destroys, beginning with the

gleam in Mom and Pop's eyes. It ruins female sexual response and induces male

sexual dysfunction. Beyond this, aspartame disrupts fetal development by

aborting it or inducing defects. And if a live child is born aspartame may have

heinously damaged the DNA of the baby, cursing future generations. "

Is NutraSweet a Neurotoxin? You bet your aspartame! It's only appropriate

use is as a rat killer and to kill fire ants.
