Senate Bill 2506 introduced by Senator Kalani English, and also

signed by Senator Suzanne Chun-Oakland, as well as House Bill 2580

sponsored by Representative Millie Carroll will move to ban aspartame

from the State of Hawaii.

 

Efforts continue to ban this deadly excitoneurotoxic carcinogenic

drug that is addicting the public and triggering so many symptoms and

diseases from MS and lupus and seizures to Parkinson's, diabetes and

obesity and even blindness and death. An aspartame documentary,

Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World, explains how Don Rumsfeld got this

marketed when the FDA said no.

http://www.soundandfury.tv/pages/rumsfeld2.html Masquerading as an

additive it's a deadly drug that interacts with other drugs and vaccines.

 

No one can forget the gallant efforts of Senator Gerald Ortiz y Pino

who sponsored the Senate bill to ban aspartame in New Mexico. One

picture that remains in my mind is addressing the Senate with

Senators sipping Diet Coke. Dr. Ken Stoller said " It's hard to

believe we are going to get anywhere with you drinking this but

consider the children. " Aspartame is a teratogen triggering birth

defects and mental retardation, reducing IQ, and triggering all types

of behavioral and psychiatric problems.

Stephen Fox of Santa Fe, Managing Editor of the Santa Fe Sun News and

prime New Mexico moving force behind the legislature efforts to ban

aspartame, commented on the great consumer progress implicit in these

two bills in Hawaii:

 

" This is wonderful news coming from Hawaii; the Legislators and their

bill drafters saw the merit in keeping almost all of the same

language from the 2006 and 2007 New Mexico bills, especially

regarding the states' rights and their obligation to protect citizens

health, which are not " preempted " by massive failures at the FDA.

 

" These New Mexico bills were overwhelmed and eviscerated in New

Mexico by some of the most vicious corporate lobbyists I have ever

encountered, representing Ajinomoto of Japan, the world's largest

aspartame and MSG manufacturer, as well as their duped American

corporate henchmen/colleagues who use massive amounts of Aspartame,

like Coca Cola, Pepsi, Altria/Kraft Corporate services, and

others. The same lobbyists will show up in Honolulu, make no mistake...

 

" These corporations have everything to lose if such bills advance and

ultimately lead to the inevitable product liability and personal

injury suits from those damaged by aspartame, which number in the

hundreds of millions, despite their cooperate serving propaganda and lies.

 

" My profoundest appreciation goes to the Hawaii activists who brought

up these imperative issues, and to the Legislators who see the merit

and need to protect the health of all Hawaiians, no matter what

duplicity is perpetuated by the top brass and corporate lackeys at the FDA. "

 

47 Members of the UK Parliament have asked for a ban and efforts in

New Zealand continue with a circulating petition for ban.

 

Aspartame was never proven safe. Here is the Board of Inquiry Report

of the FDA that revoked the petition for

approval: http://www.mpwhi.com/fda_petition1.doc

 

In the US a petition has been filed with the FDA to ban aspartame

based on an imminent health hazard. Twelve toxicologists wrote the

FDA Commissioner in June asking for a ban having to do with the

Ramazzini Studies showing aspartame to be a multipotential

carcinogen. http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_letter_to_fda.pdf

 

We thank Hawaii for their efforts at safeguarding the people of that

state and standby to help in anyway possible. SB 2506 is listed

below for review.

intended to or expressed an intention to occupy and preempt areas of
