Guest guest Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Think Before You Drink is the life-saving theme of Phoenix Organics anti-aspartame campaign. They're backing their words with 20,000 free bottles of Cola labeled with the truth about this poisonous sweetener, the ingredient in Diet Coke and thousands of foods and beverages. Bully! What a heroic and signal stand! Welcome to the Bandwagon! Back in the old days, the AA Wagon had lots of passengers. The US National Soft Drink Assn. protested against the approval of Aspartame/NutraSweet/Equal/951 for use In soft drinks. This group represents 95% of American soda pop produces. Their many objections are in the Senate Congressional Record, 5/7/85, included these declarations: Aspartame is inherently, markedly and uniquely unstable. Searle has not demonstrated to a reasonable certainty that APM and its degradation products are safe. The inability to account for as much as 39% of APMs decomposition products is significant. Searle Has Not Demonstrated to a Reasonable Certainty That The Use of APM Will Not Adversely Affect Human Health as a Result of the Changes Such Use is Likely to Cause in Brain Chemistry Something they didn't mention: the damned stuff is ADDICTIVE! APMs decomposition products, identified by better chemists, include formaldehyde, methyl alcohol, diketopiperazine, formic acid and a list of other killers. Products with this poison arn't for dieting, just for dying! Phoenix Organics is right: Think Before You Drink. If it says diet, don't buy it. Despite the damning evidence and objections of renowned scientists including the FDA's own experts, the toxin was approved when Don Rumsfeld, CEO of APMs maker, became Americas Secretary of Defense. The soda pop producers found its cheaper than sugar and "addicitifies" like heroin, cocaine and nicotine; the cash registers began ringing like the London Bells and they all fell off the Anti Aspartame Bandwagon right in front of the bank. Were closing their accounts. In 2006 Holland Sweetener, Europe's largest producer, closed their doors. Merisant, the current US corporate culprit now loses $50,000,000/year, owes more than they're worth. Care for a case of Diet Slop anyone? The Anti Aspartame Bandwagon is filling up fast! Alison White of the NZ Safe Food Campaign advocates "no aspartame" stickers on safe food products. In NZ aspartame is indicated by the number 951 and few have a clue. Consumers have a right to know which products destroy their health and which are safe. It's important to add to this to keep records of all those afflicted in New Zealand. They can to the Aspartame Information List on www.mpwhi.com and we can forward the cases to the NZ team, but this list also helps them in support and education. Some have a serious problem in getting off the poison because of the addiction. For those who want to sign the petition for ban in NZ or need resources they can contact Alison White at the Safe Food Campaign, alison She has the medical texts, the aspartame documentary "Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World", Dr. Russell Blaylock's new CD, "The Truth About Aspartame" and other material. The battle to protect New Zealand against this addictive carcinogenic neurotoxin is against the New Zealand Food Safety Authority which really should be called the aspartame manufacturers' propaganda front group. This summer NZ's Soil & Health & the Safe Food Campaign brought me from America for a 3-week lecture tour. I came with peer-reviewed documents by medical experts, scientists, government documents and every sort of evidence that would convince intelligent people we're dealing with a deadly ignored global plague. Dr. H. J. Roberts 1000 page medical text is aptly titled: "Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic"! Standing at the door with a goldmine of evidence brought 10,000 miles to protect Kiwi's, I was denied entry to the Food Safety Authority meeting. They knew I had been working with world experts on aspartame for years releasing to the public their unrefutable evidence on the toxicity of aspartame. They didn't want to see it. To prove the point, Ralph Walton, MD who has done a study on aspartame and is a psychiatrist and aspartame expert was even refused comment by tele-conference. I came to New Zealand when Abby Cormack almost died from aspartame and was about to be diagnosed as bipolar. Her symptoms vanished when she abstained from this poison. Dr. Walton is very interested in bipolar and aspartame and has since written this report: http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_and_psychiatric_disorders.htm He reviewed Abby's case and exposed aspartame at the time she made world news. Another aspartame expert, Dr. Woodrow Monte, actually lives in Wellington and was denied the right to appear at a meeting. See his peer reviewed journal article: Aspartame: Methanol & Public Health: www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_methanol_and_public_health.pdf Refusing experts, ignoring research, banning evidence, rejecting federal documents proves NZFSA cares not for Kiwi's, only for corporations. What is the blood price of such treachery? Horror stories like Abby's flood in like a never ending avalanche and we have operations in 38 nations also collecting them. Being in New Zealand allowed me to talk to aspartame victims there as well. As one man said, "heard Abby on TV, had the same symptoms, stopped using it and got well". The NZFSA not only did not want to hear them but as word got out because of the publicity this aspartame industry protector and puppet continually wrote press releases trying to stumble the people from listening even though Kiwis were getting well on abstaining. Chris Wheeler, NZ arm of Mission Possible wrote a definitive expose and discussed what went on in NZ in "Dying For A Diet Coke": http://www.rense.com/general78/dying.htm NZFSA's propaganda has been repeatedly rebutted with facts: http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/GE0708/S00086.htm Yet they continue to attempt to brainwash the public into believing lies. Information sent listing 17 more studies showing aspartame toxicity were completely ignored. The Safe Food Campaign of New Zealand and Soil & Health are committed to getting Diet Coke out of schools and this has to be done. Reports from world experts on how aspartame destroys the brains of our children have been compiled in this "Report For Schools" http://www.mpwhi.com/report_on_aspartame_and_children.htm This is an effort to prevent children from suffering from such established aspartame symptoms as psychiatric and behavioral problems, reduced IQ, memory loss, disorientation, difficulty thinking and concentrating, visual blurring or even monocular blindness, drug interaction, and other disabilities including death. Counties around the world are making strong efforts at banning aspartame. Even large chains in the UK such as ASDA/Walmart, Marks & Spencer, Tesco, etc. are withdrawing it in their products; 47 members of the UK Parliament there have asked for a ban. Calls for help from many countries show the people are fedup and want it off the planet. Robin Goodwin, Mission Possible Falklands got tired of waiting for a ban and simply wrote all citizens there so their health could be protected and aspartame products could rot on the shelves. It worked. The continued courage of manufacturers of integrity and activists in New Zealand read victory. Will NZ be first to ban this carcinogenic neurotoxin? They have exposed NZFSA who now must listen and protect the people instead of the manufacturers. A petition for ban of aspartame based on an imminent health hazard was sent to America's Food and Drug Admin in October. Physicians are being asked to continue to set up Aspartame Detox Centers. The Trocho Study shows the formaldehyde converted from the free methyl alcohol in aspartame embalms living tissue and damages DNA. http://www.mpwhi.com/formaldehyde_from_aspartame.pdf NZFSA seems concerned about formaldehyde in products from China, might they be more concerned that Kiwi's are being embalmed with it because of the product they protect.

The company has turned 20,000 bottles of Phoenix Organic Cola into mini-billboards carrying its 'Think Before You Drink' message, and highlighting the concerns that have been raised about aspartame. The bottles will be given away to consumers over the summer. Company Directors Stefan Lepionka and Marc Ellis said that the Phoenix team had become aware of the controversy that has swirled around aspartame since it was approved for use in beverages in 1983, when they started doing research for a Phoenix Organics brand campaign. "Having read the Bressler Report of the FDA and other reports on the effects of aspartame, we had the living daylights scared out of all of us," said the Directors. Internationally the evidence is overwhelming; There are thousands of people who claim that aspartame made them sick. Our company has created a new section on its website at www.phoenixorganics.co.nz containing links to New Zealand and overseas websites with information on aspartame and the 92 different symptoms noted in over 10,000 complaints received by the US Food & Drug Administration. "We cannot believe that the NZ government has declared this safe in the face of such evidence." "Perhaps even scarier is the fact that large multinational companies have persuaded the New Zealand Government that it would be a great thing for our children's health to replace drinks available in schools that contain sugar, with brands containing aspartame. Phoenix Organics has contacted a number of groups that have been fighting to raise awareness of the health concerns surrounding aspartame and said the company will do whatever it can to support the overall aim to have the Government restrict and ban aspartame. "I applaud the efforts of the people who have battled indifference and hostility to have their concerns heard," said Stefan Lepionka. "People like Abby Cormack, who suffered for years before removing aspartame from her diet and completely recovering are banging their heads against official indifference and the power of the advertising dollar. The Safe Food Campaign and The Soil & Health Association and others have been fighting for years to get action on this issue." "We are determined to lend our weight to this fight." Both Stefan and Marc agreed "there would inevitably be accusations levelled that the company was leaping on to the issue of aspartame solely out of commercial interest. "If anyone takes time to read any of the very credible studies and research that cast doubt on the safety of aspartame, and is then happy to continue drinking and eating products that contain it, then that's an informed choice. We may think they're fools, but that's their right. Coca Cola has responded to media attention on aspartame by launching a website www.gettherealfacts.co.nz that reflects the official line on this highly controversial artificial sweetener. "Its interesting that you don't see anything about Coke's multimillion dollar investment in a natural, non-caloric sweetener, called stevia. Coke uses stevia as a sweetener in its diet drinks in Japan and is trying to get approval to use it in the US and elsewhere. Phoenix Organics is a brand that has always been about using natural ingredients and leaving science in the lab, not bottling it. "We are committed to ensuring that the public is in an informed position from which to make their own decisions." Note: The Bressler Report can be read here: http://www.dorway.com/bressler.txt It was produced by the US FDA on failures and omissions on GD Searle's trials conducted in support of their application for the approval of aspartame. Before political appointments to the FDA saw the administration approve the drug for beverages in 1983.
