On An Installment Plan

 

Crumpled Coke Can Poetic Justice

The photo of a crumpled can of Diet Coke told the story in the Atlanta

Journal Constitution, 30-1-2000, Coke's hometown paper. Fitting, poetic,

just, but tragic for the company once rated " The Most Admired Business in

the World " . Today Coke wouldn't even make the list. Sales are down, profits

collapsing, and 6,000 employees soon will be gone. (To make room for 6,000

defence attorneys?) The tragedy is stupendously larger than 6,000 jobs; it

affects hundreds of millions of unwarned, innocent, afflicted consumers

across the broad face of planet earth.

 

* This crisis can't be solved by belt tightening, greater efficiency, more

advertising, etc. It's so bad Coke can't say the word; to pronounce it will

bring instant cataclysm. That word is aspartame, and their only recourse is

denial, denial, denial, though every ad and commercial builds higher the

scaffold upon which Coke shall surely hang.

 

* Reality is in that twisted Diet coke can. It's poison. It's killing the

unborn, raining tumours and seizures on the population, destroying children,

incapacitating workers, mimicking MS, erasing memory and blinding.

 

* Inexorably Diet Coke visits a plague of 92 symptoms listed by our FDA on a

secret report they'll never show which names diet soda as the first source

of aspartame disease. And yes, Death was one of the 92.

 

* Diet Coke is poison. And it's addictive, some victims drink several litres

a day and keep it on their nightstands. If Coke changes the formula to

remove aspartame the world will heal and the surge of hatred and vengeance

by the disabled and bereaved shall certainly destroy Coca Cola.

 

* The poison in Diet Coke is aspartame. As a member of the National Soft

Drink Association, Coke opposed FDA approval of aspartame for beverages.

Their objections, running to several pages published in the Congressional

Record of 5/7/85, said aspartame is uniquely and inherently unstable and

breaks down in the can. It decomposes into formaldehyde, methyl alcohol,

formic acid, diketopiperazine and other toxins. In a study on 7 monkeys 5

had grand mal seizures and one died, a casualty rate of 86%.

 

* Coke knew; and knowing, broke their good faith contract with customers, a

breach exhibited by the recent plot to program vending machines to raise the

price with the temperature. Dissatisfied with selling flavoured sugar water

plus phosphoric acid, they switched to pushing an addictive formula called

Diet " . Addictive substances multiply markets, so Diet Coke soared off the

sales charts, spreading obesity in its flight. We're fatter because

aspartame suppresses seratonin and makes us crave carbohydrates. Our brain

is programmed to expect calories and carbohydrates when experiencing a sweet

taste. When it doesn't get them, it triggers HUNGER.

 

* So why is aspartame/NutraSweet/Equal/Diet Coke/Diet Pepsi/etc on the

market and in thousands of foods? Can you say CORRUPTION? One FDA

Commissioner and one acting Commissioner have changed sides to work in the

NutraSweet industry, plus 6 underlings and two federal attorneys assigned to

prosecute NutraSweet for submitting fraudulent tests to get it approved. " It

s like a script for Abbott & Costello. " lamented an honest FDA scientist

writing to Senator Metzenbaum. It works like this: " Approve our poison, and

when you stop being a bureaucrat we'll make you a plutocrat! After its

icensed we'll pay off the American Dietetics, the American Diabetes

Association, the AMA and anyone we need who's for sale. "

 

* The jig's up! Worldwide consumer action has exposed aspartame, and

millions have kicked the habit. Coke's profits are down 37% and for a year

Monsanto's been trying to sell The NutraSweet Company. Finally they sold NSC

producer of the phenylalanine in NutraSweet for $125 million. Now Monsanto

faces a $71 million lawsuit for exaggerating profits. Monsanto stock is in

the toilet, but they may have found a buyer in the Swiss firm

Pharmacia-Upjohn. P.U. for short! The deal won't finalize for a year. The

plans are to ditch the Monsanto name, as its stench is unendurable. CEO Bob

Shapiro may soon be history, like Doug Ivester of Coke who just resigned.

 

Will the last one out please turn out the lights! The next time you reach

for a diet drink (or some Sweet & Low), please consider some fruit juice.

You will be much healthier.

 

Have a great diet-soda-free day.
