New Cancer Study Obligates

FDA To Recall Aspartame

OPEN LETTER TO FDA - VIA CERTIFIED MAIL

 

DELANEY AMENDMENT: If a product causes cancer in animals it cannot be

put in food!

 

The late FDA Toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross, testified to the

Senate: " In view of all these indications that the cancer-causing

potential of aspartame is a matter that had been established way

beyond any reasonable doubt, one can ask: What is the reason for the

apparent refusal by the FDA to invoke for this food additive the so-

called Delaney Amendment to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act? Is it

not clear beyond any shadow of a doubt that aspartame has caused

brain tumors or brain cancer in animals?

 

" Given that this is so (and I cannot see any kind of tenable argument

opposing the view that aspartame causes cancer) how would the FDA

justify its position that it views a certain amount of aspartame

(50mgm/kgm body weight) as constituting an ADI (Allowable Daily

Intake) or " safe " level of it? Is that position not equivalent to

setting a " tolerance " for this food additive and thus a violation of

that law? And if the FDA itself elects to violate the law, who is

left to protect the health of the public? "

 

Your toxicologist admitted you broke the law by approving aspartame.

He also said the significance of the studies is much greater if one

considers that brain tumors in rats is very rare: " the historical

control rate for such tumors amongst large populations of rats

indicates that no more than 49 animals afflicted with them have been

found amongst nearly 60,000 rats, an incidence rate of less than

1/10th of 1% FDA never fails to consider this aspect of

the " historical control " incidence. ... One cannot help wondering

just why they failed to consider this particular aspect in reference

to the cancer-induction of aspartame. Had they addressed the

historical incidence of brain tumors amongst rats as presented by Dr.

Olney, they could not have failed to conclude what I have concluded: -

tumors amongst the rats exposed to aspartame increases many-fold "

8/1/85 Senate, S 10839 - 10840

 

FDA broke other laws, as shown in the National Soft Drink

Association's long protest against approval, found in the Senate

Congressional Record of 5/7/85 Pages S5507-9: " Section 402 of the FDC

Act 21 provides a food is adulterated if it contains, in whole or in

part 'a decomposed substance or if it is otherwise unfit for food'.

Searle has not demonstrated to a reasonable certainty that aspartame

and its degradation products are safe for use in soft drinks. ...

Aspartame is inherently markedly and uniquely unstable in aqueous

media. In a liquid such as a soft drink aspartame will degrade as a

function of temperature and pH. "

 

The hotter it gets the quicker aspartame decomposes. NSDA next

reveals Searle deliberately used the wrong test: " High pressure

liquid chromatography is a far superior analytical method relative to

thin layer chromatography and numerous HPLC methods exist for the

detection and quantification of amino acids. Searle's choice of TLC

over HPLC adversely affected the quality and type of analytical data

generated on aspartame and its decomposition products in soft

drinks.. .. an important decomposition product of aspartame, aspartic

acid cannot be detected at all using TLC. The inability to account

for as much as 39% of aspartame's decomposition products is

significant. The marked and rapid decomposition of aspartame in soft

drinks under temperatures known to prevail is apparent from data in

the present record and discussed above in these objections. "

 

When responsible scientists, physicians and legislators try to

protect us from these criminals the industry with bottomless

checkbooks annihilate our rights and welfare. Arizona DHS studies

showed aspartame in beverages breaks down into free methanol, wood

alcohol, formaldehyde, diketopiperazine, formic acid (among other

toxins), and a ban of aspartame was being considered. In 1985 Dr.

Woodrow Monte, Director of Food Science and Nutrition Lab, Arizona

State University, petitioned for a hearing to ban aspartame, because

high temperatures in that state accelerate methanol and formaldehyde

formation. By an unusual maneuver the legislature altered the text in

a Toxic Waste Bill so to ban regulation of FDA-approved food

additives. This scuttled the hearing Dr. Monte had been promised.

 

How are these abominations maneuvered? G. D. Searle lobbyists were

Andrew Herwitz, Governor Babbitt's former Chief of Staff, and other

powerful hacks. Then Searle officials contributed to the campaign of

Arizona House Majority Leader Burton Barr. The Committee to Reelect

Barr gave campaign contributions to state representatives Don

Aldridge, Karen Mills, & Jan Breuer. They all voted on the side of G.

D. Searle. The legislators were bought and paid for, and cared not

for Arizona citizens. (Gordon 1987)

 

Another trampled law: Interstate Commerce regulations prohibit

shipping adulterated products, including drugs, across state lines.

All aspartame products are adulterated!

 

By law an additive must be inert. It's illegal to sell a drug as an

additive. In original studies aspartame triggered brain, mammary,

uterine, ovarian, testicular, thyroid and pancreatic tumors and is an

excitoneurotoxic carcinogenic drug. The 2005 3-year Ramazzini Study

on 1,800 rats confirmed what FDA knew from the beginning: aspartame

is a multipotential carcinogen that caused leukemia, cancer of the

kidneys, lymphoma and cancer of the cranial peripheral nerves. Only

the rats fed aspartame developed malignant brain tumors. Producers

complain researchers let test animals finish their lives rather than

killing them at 24 months before most cancers develop. Standard

practice is to kill the animals before they get sick. The Ramazzini

study was peer reviewed by 7 world experts.

 

So FDA's Consumer Online Magazine, February 2006 assures

us: " [Aspartame] has come under fire in recent years from individuals

who have used the Internet in an attempt to link the sweetener to

brain tumors and other serious disorders. But FDA stands behind its

original approval of aspartame, and subsequent evaluations have shown

that the product is safe. A tiny segment of the population is

sensitive to one of the sweetener's byproducts and should restrict

intake. However, the agency continually monitors safety information

on food ingredients such as aspartame and may take action to protect

public health if it receives credible scientific evidence indicating

a safety problem "

 

" A tiny segment? " How about everyone who uses it? In 1995 FDA listed

92 symptoms from 10,000 volunteered consumer complaints including 4

types of seizures, sexual dysfunction, dozens of neurological

problems, comas and death. So you stopped publishing the list and now

deny it existed. I've sent another 10,000. Renowned doctors have

written you. An avalanche of case histories has swept over you from

afflicted victims and survivors nationwide. I have copies of them.

You want credible scientific evidence? Consider this:

 

For 16 years FDA rejected aspartame because of brain tumors. Then Don

Rumsfeld, CEO of G. D. Searle Co, went to Washington with Reagan and

the next day his buddy Arthur Hayes was appointed FDA Commissioner.

To avoid any action against aspartame by the outgoing Commissioner an

executive freeze order was ordered by Ronald Reagan treacherously

making him powerless till Hayes got to town. Reagan was a tragic

Alzheimer's victim, a dread affliction aspartame invokes. It is

rumored he was addicted to Equal, this brain eradicating neurotoxin,

and memory loss is number 9 on your list of 92 symptoms, right under

seizures, number 8.

 

Now Hayes approved aspartame over the objections of his own

scientific Board of Inquiry. Searle was in money trouble until Hayes,

Rumsfeld's stooge, opened the golden door. Hayes soon was under

investigation for conflict-of-interest, so he escaped with a 10-year

consulting contract from Searle's PR firm for a reported $1,000/day.

Consultants don't need to show up for work; just answer questions on

the phone, you know: How's the fishing, Artie? "

Doctor Ralph Walton's investigation of funding & study-results

revealed 92% of independent studies show aspartame is a toxin. To

show aspartame is safe the producers have to buy & control the study,

as they did the Arizona legislature.

Roger Williams, Member of Parliament, has called for a British ban.

England wouldn't have approved aspartame had FDA's intended

indictment been known. Searle sneaked it thru by dealing with Paul

Turner of Food Standards, who approved it without publicity. A

Guardian article detailed the collusion.

 

FDA asked the Justice Department to prosecute G. D. Searle Co. for

fraud, but the producers hired the prosecutors and the case expired

with the statute of limitations. Neat trick! As an encore a parade of

FDA officials including 3 Commissioners have been welcomed into the

aspartame business. Telling FDA of aspartame toxicity is complaining

to the Mafia about murder.

 

In the CDC documentary: SWEET MISERY: A POISONED WORLD [amazon.com &

Barnes & Noble] see Atty. James Turner, former Nader Raider, explain

how Don Rumsfeld called in his markers to get it approved. FDA had

revoked approval because of the brain tumor issue, and because it was

not proven safe, leaving this question: For 16 years until Hayes

overruled your Board of Inquiry the FDA denied approval and tried to

indict Searle for fraud: So why lie about it now? Is there another

answer than political corruption? Meanwhile you attempt a rule change

to prevent states from writing food safety laws. Do you intend to now

go against the Bill of Rights, 9 and 10th amendment which forbids

removing the rights of the people and the states?

 

In the Falklands Robin Goodwin has called for a ban. In New Mexico

Stephen Fox has petitioned the Environmental Improvement Board and

the Board of Pharmacy to ban aspartame in New Mexico based on the

fact that aspartame is adulterated and against the law. Governor Bill

Richardson III has been asked by 10 New Mexico State Senators to

declare a state of public health emergency, in accordance with NMSA

12-10A-5. The emergency derives from consumers in New Mexico

consuming methanol and formaldehyde, derivative aspartame

metabolites.

 

You say you " may " take action to protect public health if you receive

credible scientific evidence indicating a safety problem? A mountain

of absolute evidence is in your possession! The impeccable Italian

study proves aspartame is " a multipotential carcinogen " . The bottom

line of the new Greek study is Alzheimers. The world's population are

guinea pigs, daily proving aspartame destroys the brain, central

nervous system, immune system and retina, causes cancer,

neurodegenerative diseases, precipitates diabetes, interacts with all

drugs and vaccines, triggers obesity and is an endocrine disrupting

drug, an abortifacient, adjuvant and teratogen that brings birth

defects and retardation. University of Texas epidemiological study on

8 years data linked diet drinks with obesity just a few months ago.

 

Obviously your allegiance is to Big Pharma & their lobbyists, who are

the Washington infestation destroying America with chemical weapons

of mass destruction, while you pretend to be saviors and seek to

outlaw vitamins and herbs.

You once attempted to indict G. D. Searle at a time when you had some

conscience under Title 18, Section 1001.

 

This US Criminal Code declares: " Whoever, in an matter within the

jurisdiction of the executive, legislative or judicial matter branch

of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully

* (1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or

device a material fact;

* (2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement

or representation;

* (3) or make or uses any false writing or document knowing the same

to contain any materially false,

fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry, shall be fined under

the title or imprisoned.

 

Today FDA, you are now guilty of the same crime as you deceive the

public by telling them aspartame is safe when you have full knowledge

it is not only not safe, but that you wanted the manufacturer

indicted for fraud. Your own toxicologists, Dr. Adrian Gross and Dr.

Jacqueline Verrett observed Searle researchers' manipulation

attempting to make a poison show safety. They just couldn't do it as

Jerome Bressler explained in the FDA audit. They were caught.

 

Four years ago I filed a Citizens Petition for

ban:<http://www.wnho.net/citizens_aspartame_petition.htm>http://www.wn

ho.net/citizens_aspartame_petition.htm The law requires an answer in

180 days, which law you broke, and brazenly wrote me that you have

matters of higher priority. Saving consumer lives is low priority? Or

was it impossible to answer my petition that proved from government

records that you lie to America?

 

James Bowen, M.D. with Lou Gehrigs disease from aspartame, wrote

FDA: " The only responsible action would be to immediately take

aspartame off the market, fully disclose its toxicities, offer full

compensation to the injured, public and criminally prosecute anyone

who participated in the fraudulent placement of aspartame on the

marketplace. That includes those who work so diligently to keep it on

the market as well. "

 

In secret trade information Searle said: " With the spoon-for-spoon,

we have no way of estimating maximum likely abuse and hence need to

utilize data based on almost complete conversion to DKP. If we

include this use in the original FAP, we stand a good chance of

ending up with nothing in the short run and nothing in the long run

where as the other approach would give us something in the short run

and, quite likely as much as we would ever get in the long run. " DKP

is the brain tumor agent. They knew aspartame would cause these

tumors worldwide. Premeditated mass murder!

Heroic New Mexico Senator Gerald Ortiz y Pino who just sponsored the

bill to ban aspartame said

" Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to the corrosive

influence of money on our public policy... the final reckoning can

only be postponed, not avoided "

I demand that you invoke the Delaney Amendment! James Turner, who

with Dr. John Olney worked to prevent aspartame approval, declares

the Delaney Amendment remains as written, although many have

attempted to try and repeal it and Michael Taylor wrote a clause

attempting to minimize it. Yet they did not succeed he says and it is

as valid today as the day it became the law. The Ramazzini study

confirms aspartame is a virulent carcinogen. This requires FDA to

invoke the Delaney Amendment which is emphatic ­ if a product causes

cancer in animals it CANNOT BE PUT IN FOOD.

 

This should have been done a quarter of a century ago as your

scientists advocated. Refusal will confirm once more that FDA is run

by political lapdogs dedicated to their personal aggrandizement,

treacherously condemning multitudes to disability and death. Mission

Possible is a global volunteer force warning consumers about

aspartame because FDA refuses to fulfill its commission to enforce

laws that protect us.

 

We're taking aspartame brain tumor cases in NY and NJ for litigation,

and this is just the beginning. This is written as an open letter so

all reading it will send it to their congressman, explaining how FDA

has sanctioned mass poisoning by bureaucratic fiat.

 

Be warned: A higher judge untouched by bribes has pronounced the

inevitable consequence of such duplicity: " Woe to you who are

despoiling and who are dealing treacherously As soon as you have

finished as a despoiler, you will be despoiled. As soon as you have

done with dealing treacherously, they will deal treacherously with

you. " Isaiah 33:1 NWT
