[The American model of Corporate Executives moving between Government, top

universities, powerful think tanks or NGOs, is now being increasingly

exposed in the US as responsible for the stifling of opinion and dissent,

and the complete perversion of public life. It has made American citizens

guinea pigs in the hands of faceless corporate bureaucrats and soulless

corporations, ensuing the very triumph of Mammon that the high values of

civilization were supposed to prevent - Editor]

 

This article aims to create public awareness about the known dangers of

Aspartame, Diet Soda, Splenda and how MNCs mess up people's lives in cahoots

with corrupt FDA authorities worldwide. Health Care is Self Care and Right

to Health akin to the Right to Life. The State is duty-bound to play a

positive facilitating role in this regard; but does it?

 

Aspartame

 

When the temperature of the artificial sweetener Aspartame exceeds 86

degrees F, the wood alcohol in it converts to formaldehyde and then to

formic acid, which causes metabolic acidosis [Aspartame Toxicity Center,

www.holisticmed. com/aspartame Aspartame Information List; also Splenda &

other dangerous sweeteners, www.mpwhi.com. Additional information at

www.TruthAboutSplen da.com]

 

Although multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, Methanol toxicity is.

Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis,

especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. The victim usually does

not know that Aspartame is the culprit. Its continuous use irritates the

lupus to such a degree that it may become a life-threatening condition

[ibid]

 

Patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic, once taken off diet sodas.

In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, most symptoms

disappear. There are many cases where vision loss returned and hearing loss

improved markedly. This also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia

[ibid]

 

Those using Aspartame (Nutra Sweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc) and suffer from

fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting pains, numbness in legs, cramps,

vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, unexplainable

depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss,

probably have Aspartame poisoning [ibid]

 

Sadly, modern medicine, a pseudo science, cannot diagnose people with

Aspartame harm or diagnoses in error. There are many instances when

diagnosis is totally off the mark, but each 'one-disease, one-organ'

specialist goes on giving more and more medicines and creating more and

diseases. Create-more- diseases-and- cash-on-it being is the operating

principle of disease-business and crap science [Holistic Healing in Tropical

Diseases, Dr. Leo Rebello, Natural Health Centre, Bombay, 2006]. Therefore,

instead of running after these foolish 'medicine men' just stop drinking

diet sodas and be alert for Aspartame on food labels.

 

Diet Soda

 

Diet soda is not a diet product, but a chemically altered, multiple sodium

(salt) and Aspartame-containin g product that actually makes you crave for

carbohydrates and gain weight. These products also contain formaldehyde,

which stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs; no

wonder the American population is turning obese and/or suffering from

cancers and diabetes [From FAT to Fit, Leo Rebello, www.healthwisdom. org]

 

Formaldehyde is an absolute toxin and is used mainly to preserve 'tissue

specimens' in laboratories. Formaldehyde poisoning symptoms include local

irritation of eyes, nose, mouth, throat, respiratory and gastro-intestinal

tracts, and central nervous system causing vertigo, stupor, convulsions,

unconsciousness, renal damage.

 

Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics. Physicians who thought they

had a patient with retinopathy in fact had patients with symptoms caused by

Aspartame. The latter drives the blood sugar out of control. Thus diabetics

may suffer acute memory loss due to the fact that aspartic acid and

phenylalanine are neurotoxic. With diabetics, Aspartame passes the

blood-brain barrier, attacks the neurons of the brain causing various levels

of brain damage, seizures, depression, panic attacks, uncontrollable anger

and rage [Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, First Indian Edition, 1990]

 

Consumption of Aspartame causes these same symptoms in non-diabetics as

well. Documentation and observation reveal that thousands of children

diagnosed with ADD and ADHD have had complete turnarounds in behavior when

these chemicals were removed from their diet. So-called 'behavior

modification prescription drugs' (Ritalin and others) are no longer needed.

Indeed, giving Ritalin for ADD and ADHD is " treatment worse than the

disease " [Nature Cure and Yoga Therapy, Dr. Leo Rebello, 2004, 3rd ed.]

 

Methylphenidate (brand name Ritalin) was patented in 1954 by the CIBA

pharmaceutical company (now Novartis), and most brand-name Ritalin is

produced in the United States. Methylphenidate is a CNS stimulant. Reported

methylphenidate abuse side effects include psychosis ( abnormal thinking or

hallucinations) , insomnia, mood swings, mood changes, nervousness, stomach

aches, diarrhea, headaches, decreased sex drive, lack of hunger, gum and

skin bleeding and dry mouth [Online library of psychoactive plants,

chemicals and related topics from Erowid.org]. It is also complicit in

stunted growth.

 

In the United States and worldwide, methylphenidate is classified as a

Schedule II drug under the Convention of Psychotropic Substances because of

its high addictive potential and consequent abuse [Wikipedia]. According to

an article in the Los Angeles Times, " the uproar over Ritalin was triggered

almost single-handedly by the Scientology movement. " The Citizens Commission

on Human Rights, an anti-psychiatry group associated with Scientology,

conducted a major campaign against Ritalin in the 1980s and lobbied Congress

for an investigation. Ritalin's less common side effects include

palpitations, high blood pressure and tachycardia [ibid]. Most

child-patients were being 'poisoned' on a daily basis. The drug can cause

mental retardation and other birth defects, if taken at the time of

conception and early pregnancy [ibid].

 

Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and should never

be given artificial sweeteners. There are many different case histories of

children suffering grand mal-seizures and other neurological disturbances.

 

Aspartame was approved for use in dry foods in 1981 and in soft drinks in

1983. Late Senator Howard Metzenbaum of Ohio wrote and presented The

Aspartame Safety Bill (S. 1554) in 1983 that would require label warnings on

products containing Aspartame, especially regarding pregnant women, children

and infants. A key element of Metzenbaum's bill was labelling that would

caution consumers how much aspartame they could ingest, the maximum

allowable daily intake established by FDA, and a special warning for

pregnant women. The bill stated that the warning information " be included on

such labels and labelling in a manner which is the most useful to

individuals who consume such food. " The bill mandated independent tests by

the National Institutes of Health, focusing on brain chemistry, behavioural

and neurological reactions, headaches, mood alterations, memory loss and

effects on pregnant women and fetuses. It was killed by intense lobbying by

the

big pharma MNCs in cahoots with the American FDA [ibid]. The US Food & Drug

Administration has long lost is reputation to be able to do its job.

 

Monsanto's patent on Aspartame has expired. But there are over 5000 products

in the market in USA alone that contain this deadly chemical and thousands

more will be introduced. Monsanto, creator of Aspartame, funds the American

Diabetes Association, the American Dietetic Association and the Conference

of the American College of Physicians, a fact exposed by the New York Times:

" These [organizations] cannot criticize any additives or convey their link

to Monsanto because they take money from them and are required to endorse

their products. " Also: " The chemical sucralose, marketed as 'Splenda,' has

replaced aspartame as the no.1 artificial sweetener in foods and beverages.

Aspartame has been forced out by increasing public awareness that it is both

a neurotoxin and an underlying cause of chronic illness worldwide... "

 

Splenda/Sucralose

 

But " chlorocarbons are never nutritionally compatible with our metabolic

processes and are wholly incompatible with normal human metabolic

functioning. Any chlorocarbons not directly excreted from the body intact

can cause immense damage to the processes of human metabolism and,

eventually, our internal organs. " The liver is a detoxification organ which

deals with ingested poisons and over time gets damaged beyond repair with

such artificial chemicals. You buy the poison; you buy the disease.

 

According to PRNewswire-USNewswi re, 11 August 2008, US District Court Judge

Dale S. Fischer has set 6 January 2009 as the starting date for a

potentially landmark civil suit against Johnson & Johnson over its alleged

false advertising of the artificial sweetener Splenda. The central issue

before the court is whether the advertising of Splenda - a man-made chemical

sweetener containing chlorine - makes consumers believe it is a natural

product, by using taglines like " Made from sugar, so it tastes like sugar, "

and similar advertising.

 

Internal documents show Johnson & Johnson knew that its Splenda advertising

was causing consumers to believe that Splenda is natural, though it is not.

Rulings in France, Australia and New Zealand have found Johnson & Johnson's

advertising of Splenda to be deceptive, but the company continues

advertising in the United States and is now the subject of legal scrutiny

and public criticism.

 

Lead Sugar Association attorney Mark Lanier says: " Now we look forward to

presenting the truth about Splenda to the jury and focusing on the very real

effect of misleading advertising. We are confidant that the outcome will be

a victory for consumers everywhere " [PR New and the Sugar Association] .

 

Dr. Betty Martini, founder, Mission Possible International, which promotes

the natural herb Stevia for diabetics in place of sugar, says " the

controversy rages over Splenda (sucralose). Is it safe and natural like

sugar or is it a chlorinated hydrocarbon? As lawsuits fly, consider the

chemistry of this artificial compound. " She points out that the FDA denied

approval of aspartame for 16 years since it was created and then caved in to

political/economic pressure when Don Rumsfeld, CEO of the manufacturer, was

brought to Washington by Ronald Reagan. A new FDA Commissioner appointed to

approve it then became a consultant for NutraSweet's public relations firm

for $1000/day on a 10-year contract! She said this should have made FDA more

cautious the next time, but the FDA approved the toxic chlorocarbon Splenda

without hesitation and without any long-term testing on human subjects. "

 

This shows how powerful drug and chemical lobbies are responsible for

letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting and

uninformed public. It is time that people woke up to the dangers from the

pharmaceutical mafia.
