Honorable Deborah Platt Majoras: Evil this way comes!

 

It rides an express elevator to ever deeper degradation: the gutter,

the sewer and at last to a cesspool clotted by bodies of innocent

infants murdered for money. Our elevator operator, Miss FDA

chimes: " Going Up: to Better health, Lower weight and a More

beautiful you. Step into the aspartame express. "

 

They know! In 1996 FDA listed 92 symptoms, from seizures to death,

reported in 10,000 consumer complaints, more than any other food

additive before or since! Experts cried Halt! Three Congressional

hearings exposed this poison. Renowned physicians protested its

approval, as did the National Soft Drink Association. Emory

University Professor of Pediatrics & Genetics Dr. Louis Elsas'

testimony is recorded in the 8/1/85 Congressional record, page

S10842:

 

" High blood concentrations of L-phenylalanine are harmful to human

brains in at least three situations:

 

(a) In older than 6 months old children and adults with mature brains

high blood concentrations will prolong performance time, slow brain

wave cycles (EEG) and reduce neurotransmitter production in a

reversible manner.

 

(b) In newborns to 6 months old with rapidly growing brains elevated

blood phenylalanine produces irreversible brain damage by slowing

migration of oligodendroglia (brain cells) and altering myelin (nerve

insulation) formation.

 

© In pregnancy, if the mother's blood phenylalanine is raised in

high concentrations, her child's brain development can be

irreversibly damaged. "

 

Irreversible brain damage from phenylalanine! Aspartame is 50%

phenylalanine! Yet Ajinomoto ran a full page ad in the Nov 04

Functional Foods & Nutraceuticals with a photo of an infant at its

mother's breast with the caption: " Remember your first taste of

aspartame? " Would you let an ad say: For a really bright smile, brush

with Plutonium?

 

Aspartame disease was declared a global epidemic by Dr. H. J. Roberts

in his 1,038 page medical text Aspartame Disease, an Ignored

Epidemic. It has triggered an avalanche of birth defects and

retardation. It releases the tumor agent DKP, diketopiperazine, so

babies are born with brain tumors. It interferes with the cardiac

conduction system causing sudden death. Soon defibrillators will be

common as fire extinguishers. Yesterday Renae Wilson of Titusville,

FL told me this story:

 

" My baby got a cold and the doctor put him on a prescription with

aspartame. I also bought pediatric Tylenol with aspartame and other

remedies. He went to sleep and never woke up. An article about sudden

infant death said most cases occur when it's chilly and the baby may

have a cold (babies get a cold and receive over-the-counter and

prescribed drugs) then die in their sleep. I had no knowledge

aspartame was a deadly drug. I used NutraSweet and had all kinds of

problems, even symptoms of MS which I learned are be triggered by

aspartame. When I quit, so did the symptoms. I believe aspartame

killed my son. Little Andrew was 2 1/2 months old. "

Review recent articles about SIDS, depleted serotonin, and toxic

breast milk. Dr. Richard Wurtman told Congress it lowers the seizure

threshold and depletes serotonin. This triggers manic depression or

bipolar, insomnia, mood swings, panic attacks, and even suicidal

tendencies. It interacts with all antidepressants. Wurtman was

threatened by the manufacturer, G D Searle Co, his funding would be

cut off if he researched aspartame induced seizures. Don Rumsfeld was

CEO of Searle until he became Secretary of Defense for Ronald Reagan.

He had the power and connections to silence Wurtman, author of the

damning text: Phenylalanine and Brain Function. Wurtman was silenced.

UPI investigation on

http://www.dorway.com

http://www.wnho.net

 

Dr. James Bowen warned FDA aspartame is mass poisoning America and

the world. What does a poisoned world look like? Hear victims' heart-

wrenching stories and see candid experts in the vital new documentary

Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World. Hear wife and mother Diane Fleming,

serving 50 years in a Virginia penitentiary because her husband, a

Diet Coke addict, died from methanol poisoning. Aspartame liberates

methyl alcohol, which slowly poisons victims and breaks down into

formaldehyde. Medical experts' affidavits declared the methanol came

from Killer Kola.

 

Imagine a baby sipping death from its mother's breast as she seeks to

control her weight with sweetener that makes her crave carbohydrates

and gain weight, and poisons her mother's milk, so that one morning

she finds her child dead in his crib. Killed by Ajinomoto.

 

RUMSFELD DISEASE APPROVED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER! Listen to Attorney

James Turner who with famed Dr. John Olney tried to prevent

aspartame's approval. Turner tells what it took to get a deadly

poison approved. The FDA attempted to have Searle indicted for fraud

and making false statements. Both U.S. Prosecutors hired on with the

defense team and the statute of limitations expired. For 16 years the

FDA refused to allow it on the market. When Reagan was elected Don

Rumsfeld, CEO of Searle, said he'd call in his markers to get

aspartame approved. This is documented by a UPI investigation and

congressional record. The day after Reagan took office Arthur Hayes

was appointed as FDA Commissioner to get it approved.

 

Reagan knew it might take 30 days to get Hayes installed, so he wrote

an Executive Order making the outgoing FDA Commissioner powerless to

act against aspartame before he departed. Then FDA set up a Public

Board of Inquiry that revoked the petition for approval because it

had not been proved safe and causes brain tumors. Hayes overruled the

PBOI and let slip the hounds of disease, disability and death on an

innocent unwarned population. Soon he became a consultant for the

NutraSweet Co's public relations outfit on a 10 year contract at

$1,000/day. Hayes then refused to talk to the press. Who ever heard

of a public relations guy who won't talk?

 

Page 18 of the testimony by Dr. John Olney to the PBOI notes FDA

admitted aspartame causes brain damage/tumors in neonatal animals.

FDA dismissed this admission as irrelevant on grounds that the

approved uses of aspartame do not include giving it to newborn

humans. Yet the makers actually target the newborn. Dr. Olney reduced

FDA's admission to the following syllogism:

 

(a) Only neonates are susceptible to Glutamate/Aspartame

neurotoxicity,

(b) Aspartame will not be fed to neonates;

© Glutamate/Aspartame neurotoxicity is irrelevant to the safety of

aspartame.

 

Dr Olney declared: " Syllogisms that begin with false premises lead to

false conclusions. The first report of glutamate induced brain damage

documented that both infant and adult mice are susceptible " . He went

into great detail on the combination of glutamate and aspartame which

intensifies and synergizes MSG. Attached is Neurosurgeon Russell

Blaylock's letter to the Miami Herald countering a NutraSweet's front

group, the Calorie Control Council, for recommending it for pregnant

women. Also posted on <http://www.wnho.net/www.wnho.net

 

Congressional hearings revealed that aspartame advertising deceives

the public, as if it were a natural product to compare with mothers

milk. Industry has been cautioned about misleading advertising.

Merisant (owns part of NutraSweet) sued the makers of Splenda for

advertising it as natural when it's really a chlorinated hydrocarbon

as are DDT & Chloradane. True, Splenda is bad news, but the kettle is

calling the pot black. Both are guilty.

 

Read the attached 92 symptom FDA report and view Sweet Misery to be

assured this poison shouldn't be sold for adults much less to kill

infants and erase the brains of our children. Hold Ajinomoto

criminally responsible for marketing murder. Drain the cesspool, Stop

killing kids!

Re: Deceptive Advertising Aimed At Infants and Children

 

Dear Honorable Deborah Platt Majoras,

 

I am enclosing a copy of the full-page ad by Ajinomoto that appeared

in the November 2004 edition of Functional Foods & Nautraceuticals.

It is titled, " Remember your first taste of aspartame? " The companion

photo depicts an infant feeding at its mother's breast.

 

The promo begins: " mothers' milk doesn't contain aspartame, but it

might as well. Aspartame is made from things which occur in larger

quantities in other parts of our diet, and our bodies digest it

completely naturally. " It concludes: " The principal components of

aspartame are two building blocks of protein, just like those found

in eggs, fruit, cheese or fish - and even in mothers' milk. "

 

In my opinion - as a corporate-neutral physician who has extensively

researched and published on " aspartame disease " for two decades --

this constitutes potentially dangerous deceptive misrepresentation.

The chief reasons are (1) omission of other major components of

aspartame, especially the 10% FREE methyl alcohol (methanol), (2) the

profound adverse effects of the large amounts of its " two building

blocks of protein " on neurotransmitters and other important systems,

and (3) the absence of any reference to the terrible reactions

induced by aspartame products in numerous infants and children.

 

I have extensively detailed these issues in several books, more than

a score of medical/scientific publications, testimony to the U.S.

Senate and an FDA advisory group, and my summarized professional

opinion about the unwise use of aspartame products by pregnant women,

infants and children. The testimony, " position paper " , a brochure of

ASPARTAME DISEASE: AN IGNORED EPIDEMIC, and my professional

credentials are enclosed. The 1000 - page book reviews only the first

1200 aspartame reactors in my data base (It now exceeds 1400.)

 

I do not know in how many periodicals this ad has appeared. The

potential adverse public health consequences from such promotion are

ENORMOUS... based on the documented medical, neurological,

psychological, metabolic, immune, genetic and carcinogenic effects of

aspartame and its breakdown products. As a relevant point, I cite

several breast-feeding infants who develop convulsions while their

mothers drank a " diet " soda.

 

I am grateful for our First Amendment, I nevertheless believe that

the power of the federal government to regulate interstate commerce

and advertising MUST be invoked here. This includes (1) halting such

ads aimed specifically and unfairly at infants and children because

they are misleading " in a material respect, " (2) demanding corrective

ads that underscore the risks of aspartame products, and (3) totally

removing aspartame products from the market as an imminent health

threat. Indeed, many corespondents have decried their promotion for

children as " crimes against humanity. "

 

Let me express thanks for your interest and prompt attention to this

profound matter in view of the inevitable corporate and political

resistance such action will generate. But you MUST protect our

children before it is too late!!

 

Sincerely,

 

H. J. Roberts, M.D., FACP, FCCP
