FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 15, 2004

Sheraton Grand Hotel 1230 J Street Sacramento, CA

 

Racketeering Charges Filed Against NutraSweet Co.,

American Diabetes Association, Monsanto & Dr Robert H.

Moser for Manufacturing and Marketing Toxic Aspartame

 

San Francisco, CA:

 

A RACKETEER INFLUENCED & CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS [RICO]

complaint has been filed in U.S. District Court for

the Northern District of California. The suit, filed

by a member of The National Justice League, charges

the defendants with manufacturing and marketing a

deadly neurotoxin unfit for human consumption, while

they assured the pubic that aspartame (also known as

NutraSweet/Equal) contaminated products are safe and

healthful, even for children and pregnant women.

Present Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld is

mentioned throughout the lawsuit.

 

As evidence, an explosive affidavit from a former

employee of the G.D. Searle Co - the developer of

aspartame - will be made public at a National Press

Conference on Thursday, September 16 at 11:00 a.m. at

the Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel, 1230 J Street,

Sacramento, California 95814, phone (916) 447-1700.

 

For 16 years, the FDA denied approval of aspartame

because of compelling evidence of its contributing to

brain tumors and other serious disabilities. Donald

Rumsfeld, present Secretary of Defense in the Bush

Administration, left President Ford's administration

as Chief of Staff to become the CEO of aspartame

producer G D Searle Co. in 1981. Shortly after,

Rumsfeld became the CEO, and the day after President

Reagan took office, aspartame was quickly approved by

FDA Commissioner Arthur Hayes over the objections of

the FDA's Public Board of Inquiry. Hayes had been

recently appointed by the Reagan Administration.

Shortly after aspartame's approval by the FDA, Hayes

joined NutraSweet's public relations firm under a ten

year contract at $1,000 a day.

 

Aspartame/NutraSweet was the product of the G. D.

Searle Co. In January 1977, the FDA wrote a 33 page

letter to U.S. Justice Department Attorney Sam

Skinner: " We request that your office convene a Grand

Jury investigation into apparent violations of the

Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. " Skinner allowed

the Statute of Limitations to run.

 

Three FDA Commissioners and eight other officers and

Skinner took jobs in the aspartame industry shortly

after it was approved in 1982.

 

The Food and Drug Administration once listed 92

adverse reactions from 10,000 consumer complaints and

sent the list to all inquirers. In 1996 the FDA

stopped taking complaints and now denies existence of

the report. Seizures, blindness, sexual dysfunction,

obesity, testicular, mammary and brain tumors and

death, plus dozens of other dread diseases named in

the suit arise from the consumption of this

neurotoxin.

 

Defendant Moser, past CEO of NutraSweet, is cited for

misrepresenting facts to public and commercial users

with full knowledge of the deceptions. The toxin is

sold to Bayer, Con Agra Foods, Dannon, Smucker,

Kellogg, Wrigley, PepsiCo, Kraft Foods (Crystal

Light), Conopco (Slim-Fast), Coke, Pfizer, Wal-Mart

and Wyeth (to name a few), who use it in some of their

products, including children's vitamins. The National

Justice League currently has suits filed against these

companies in California courts.

 

Defendant American Diabetes Association's mission is

to care for diabetics. A 35 year ADA member, world

famous diabetic specialist H.J.Roberts, M.D.,

discovered aspartame can precipitate diabetes and

reacts harmfully with insulin. ADA rejected his report

which was then published in a prestigious medical

journal.

 

The seven count indictment includes charges for

violation of California Consumers Legal Remedies Act,

Fraud, violations of California Civil Code §1780-1784

and Injunctive Relief: that Defendants be enjoined

from future use/sale of aspartame.
