COCA-COLA FORGES BRAVE, NEW WORLD, and other corporate serving mendacious BS

 

Dear Op Ed News Readers, Readers, Obama Supporters:

 

Please help me figure this out. I am baffled...

 

Why is it that journalists like this Ed Graney from the Las Vegas Review-

Journal [his article follows below], and so many others like him all over

the United States, collectively continue the despicable mythology of

speaking so cheerily about drinking diet sodas, like it was some kind of fun

thing that they frivolously insist on sharing or foisting on their ill

informed readers?

 

Can they really be this stupid to be so oblivious the firestorm of medical

evidence accruing against Coca Cola and the Diet Sodas, because of the

aspartame metabolizing into methanol and formaldehyde in every single person

who consumes them, or sugarless gums like Eclipse and Orbit (try to find a

Wrigley's product that doesn't have aspartame!), and the product Equal,

which breaks up the aspartame before it hits your stomach, making it 5

times more neurotoxic in coffee, tea, etc.

 

Maybe they know all of this and are getting paid bribes by the companies

involved to produce mindless little puff pieces saluting and celebrating the

entire Diet Coke Culture?

 

I work with a group of people including physicians like H.J. Roberts, Author

of Aspartame Disease: An FDA Approved Epidemic, and Russell Blaylock, Author

of Excitotoxins: the Taste that Kills. These are googleable; please read

about them.

 

 

Our biggest firebrand and greatest inspiration is Dr. Betty Martini, D.

Hum., Founder of Mission Possible International, dedicated to getting

aspartame off the market all over the world. Betty keeps an entire movement

of thousands of activists together, for no pay whatsoever....

 

I won't regale you with 5 years of articles but will ask you to take the

time to read just these two:

(Interestingly, this article has been pulled down (or knocked down by

hackers?) several of the key websites on which it once appeared....

 

and what I wrote for the Hawaii Senate about Aspartame in the form of a

genteel resolution asking the FDA to rescind its approval for the umpteen

reasons included in the Resolution: this constitutes a fairly detailed and

very accurate historical analysis of Aspartame, how it came on the market,

why it is still there:

 

Hawaii Senate Concurrent Resolution 191, 2008

Personally, I think it is a hypocritical and ghastly joke that Coca Cola is

such a big sponsor of the Olympics. They are only doing it to increase their

sales in China and a few other nations, and to legitimize their infernal and

deadly products in the minds of the naive, the stupid, and the very young.

 

I have repeatedly written articles, blogs, editorials, and comments that

Obama must recognize how serious all of this is, and at the very least

appoint a real consumer protectionist to be the FDA commissioner, instead of

the corporate serving slug we now have.

 

Nixon ordered that cyclamates be taken off the market and their FDA approval

rescinded.

 

A few years later, in 1981, Reagan (as a favor to his buddy Rumsfeld who had

been passed over for Vice President, remember?) ordered the outgoing FDA to

do nothing further, until the new FDA Commissioner, Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes,

could take his first action, to approve Aspartame, despite the FDA having

turned it down for the prior 15 years.....This " earned " Donald Rumsfeld,

then CEO of G.D. Searle, the patent holder, at least $15 million.

 

This is a vile and despicable story, one of the dirtiest and most sordid

chapters in the history of the FDA, which I am continuing to ask Obama to

put an end to when he is elected President of the United States.

 

Truly,

OLYMPIC POSTCARD: COCA-COLA FORGES BRAVE, NEW WORLD

REVIEW-JOURNAL

 

 

I've always been a Pepsi guy. Diet Cherry. Good stuff.

 

But you should see what Coca-Cola has planned for the future. Any day now,

a Coke Zero is going to drop right out of your iPhone.

The company has been a sponsor of the Olympics for 80 years, and its large

exhibit center here in Beijing stands near the swimming and track and field

venues.

One main display is for the WE8 campaign, which is eight aluminum bottles

designed by Chinese art students.

 

They had eight themes from which to work: active optimism, individual

perseverance, uplifting moments, peace on Earth, global harmony, human

collaboration, healthy world and happiness.

 

Once the artwork was completed, some of the world's leading musicians were

asked to interpret the works through music.

 

The company is also testing a machine that drops your drink of choice down

a chute and ice forms once you shake it a few times. I'm guessing the next

machine they unveil will drink it for you.

 

Another exhibit is a touch-screen machine where you choose your drink from

any of the WE8 bottles, and then download the design and its specific song

to your cell phone. We live in an amazing world.
