Dr Hull On Aspartame:

[Guest guest]

Article: This aspartame interview was granted on 8/30/03 with Rebecca

Kang from Singapore: - by Dr. Janet Starr Hull, PhD.,

CN     Interview

 

Q: How often does an average person happen to consume

products with aspartame?

 

A; Daily in the United States. Aspartame is put into so

many different products, consumers are exposed to it without

awareness much of the time. Aspartame is in many products

NOT labeled sugar-free, such as gums, cereals, ice creams,

yogurts, and medications. I also have clients who consume

up to a 12 pack of diet colas daily. And keep in mind, that

children are consuming more and more aspartame laced

products at earlier and earlier ages, which means they will

develop health problems at earlier and earlier ages.

Henceforth, the onslaught of children's disease syndromes -

diabetes, ADD/ADHD, depression and behavioral disorders.

 

Q: What is the limit for safe aspartame consumption?

 

A: None. No human, nor any animal, should intake methanol

at any dose at any time - ever.

 

Q: Aspartame is a very controversial food additive and has

alleged harmful effects. However, is there any proof for that

accusation?

 

A: Numerous research studies. Reference Sweet Poison, as

I write about the independent research scientists with

tangible research results of harm to the fetes and adult

laboratory animals. One fact to note: independent researchers

have proven over and over again the dangers of aspartame,

while the research stating it is safe has been performed by

research scientists on 'corporate payrolls.' This is not

objective research but has the power of money behind it.

Independent researchers don't have the financial backing,

so they are pushed out of the spotlight and kept silent.

 

Q: Would you agree that the public in general is poorly

informed about aspartame? If so, what are the possible

reasons?

 

A: Absolutely correct. The reason is money and greed. The

pharmaceutical companies own most of the products

aspartame is found in, and they also own the advertising

entities, and the drugs prescribed for the health symptoms

caused by aspartame. Therefore, the same companies who

are causing the problem profit from the drugs to mask the

symptoms. They control the whole game, and have financial

interest in the government agencies responsible for public

safety.

 

Q: We recently did a survey on the awareness of Singaporeans

towards Aspartame. Results clearly show that a majority of

Singaporeans have no idea what aspartame is. And also a

considerable portion would not bother to find out what it is,

despite hints that it could be suspicious.

 

A: Apathy is a danger in modern societies. Too little time,

too much pressure at work, and too many conveniences with

too little physical effort to get them. People are becoming

lazy. The younger generations are becoming lazy, too. If

we all would learn from history and from our elders and

remember to get back to the basics of living as they once did,

the diseases and mental instability caused by the toxins

within our environments and our foods would be less today.

Money and 'things' have become too important. Our health

and mental stability are suffering because of it.

 

Q: As a nutritionist, would you agree that most Singaporeans

have little idea about what they eat? If so, what would you

advice us to do to increase this awareness in Singapore?

 

A: We must slow down, get back to the basics of life, and not

be sheep lead to the slaughter when it comes to modernized

foods and convenience products. Convenience and technology

is wonderful, but not to the degree that we can be so easily

manipulated and so easily lead down this road of imbalance.

 

Q: Would you, at all, advise Singaporeans on a need to find

out the safety of their food? Or would you trust that to the

health authorities?

 

A: I would not trust the authorities of any country who agree

to barter with corporations dealing financial gains at the

expense of the pubic. I once trusted our leaders to be fair and

truthful, but cannot and do not any more. As I wrote in

Sweet Poison, the FDA is not the bad guy in America, and for

the most part, governments as a whole are not at fault. It is a

chosen few individuals within the government agencies who

impose personal reward at the expense of millions of consumers.

If it weren't for the Internet, none of this information would be

public today. Neither you nor I would be sharing this information

right now. But as a professor, researcher and educator, I will

always believe that it is imperative that all people know both

sides of any issue. Truth is freedom. To manipulate the truth

is a crime. Make sure your political leaders are not willing to

'make a deal' with the larger corporations who profit at the

expense of the masses. And also make sure the truth behind

aspartame, and any issue, is allowed to be spoken publicly. In

America, the wealthy manufacturers pay-off or threaten those

who choose to air this information publicly. I have much proof

on this.

 

Q: If there is any other information you wish to add, feel free to

include it in the reply for the interview. We might have overlooked

some important points.

 

A: Please go back and reread Sweet Poison, as so much is

said within those pages. This issue is real, and not meant to

harm anyone (but the pocketbooks of those who gain millions).

This information is meant to teach individuals of all cultures

the hidden facts and dangers of a manipulated and very toxic

food chemical saturating the world's food supply. Money has

bought aspartame its position of power - not quality of goods.

People are getting very sick and weak from aspartame. That

is true and very real.

 

Good luck in your quest for perfection, truth, and understanding.

 

Our food supply is a web of confusion in modern times. Money,

greed and power are at the root of too many modern foods.

 

Politics interferes with human survival and health. Sad, but true.

What do we do? Get back to the basics of eating and drinking

so to feed our bodies and our minds what nature intended. Slow

down, take time to meditate and get to know yourself. Be happy

with who you are and don't strive for more than you need. To

open the door to future health, we must find the keys from the

past. There lie the answers of simplicity and health.

 

There is so much to say on this issue. The roots run deeply into

the self, politics, governments, and greed.

All you can do is be

the best individual you can be, stay unattached to dependencies

and quick fixes. Look at the motives of those who push these

'drugs' on society and decide for yourself why this benefits you

above profit. If you can see no goodness or purity in a product,

put it back on the shelf.

And most importantly, teach the children how to get back to the

basics of life.....

 

Wishing you and Singaporeans well. Keep spreading the word

about aspartame and always stay open-minded.
