Open Letter to President Hugo Chavez and the World: Coke Zero

[Guest guest]

Dear President Chavez:

 

Congratulations for the ban on Coke Zero. Your courage is

admirable. It was reported on June 15th that a bill here in the US

puts soft drinks under FDA control. The report said more than 350,000

people die every year from soft drink related diseases, according to

government figures. However, there are a great deal more than this

who die from aspartame pop. As Dr. Maria Alemany said to me after

doing the Trocho Study in Barcelona, " Aspartame can kill 200 million people. "

 

During the floor debate of the bill several senators remarked upon

the fact that Venezuela recently banned the sale of Coke Zero

.. Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts commented that was more

progressive on the subject than we are. I was happy to hear that

soda vending machines will be banned in all schools, hospitals and

public buildings. Children under 18 will be prohibited from

purchasing soft drinks, unless accompanied by an adult.

 

The news exploded about you banning Coke Zero here in the US. The

phones started ringing with gleeful remarks that because of aspartame

the President of Venezuela is removing this product from the

country. The " comment " section of articles began to burst with

expressions of joy and expound on the dangers of this toxin (Equal,

E951,NutraSweet, Benevia, Canderel, Spoonful, etc.). Indeed, when

you mention health problems in the same breath you discuss a product

with this poison there is no question as to what it is.

 

Then came questions like, " why not ban all products in the country

that contain aspartame " , after all today this toxin is probably in

10,000 food and drugs. There are millions of hits on google

exclaiming the health hazards of using this genetically engineered,

addictive, excitoneurotoxic carcinogenic drug masquerading as an

additive. One editor's note was that the FDA themselves listed 92

documented symptoms of aspartame from four types of seizures to coma

and death. We have it on web. Also, this toxin damages the

mitochondria so it interacts with drugs and vaccines. Here in the US

they even add aspartame to the very drugs used to treat the problems

it causes. To make matters worse aspartame is blended with

acesulfame potassium which caused cancer and leukemia in original

studies. I read the pathetic rebuttal by Coke that the ingredients

were safe. They seem to have forgotten the protest of the National

Soft Drink Association, now American Beverage, against

aspartame: http://www.mpwhi.com/open_letter_dick_adamson.htm Coke

and Pepsi were the two top members.

 

Some people think politics underlined the decision, but no one would

have guessed cyclamates because its not labeled on the container.

Indeed, if it was found by analysis its another grievance against

industry for adding ingredients that are not labeled. The public is

entitled to know what they are consuming. Cyclamates was banned

because of cancer.

 

So if the concern is cancer then you definitely don't want aspartame

in your country. The molecule even breaks down to diketopiperazine,

a brain tumor agent that triggered brain tumors in original studies.

 

Note what the FDA toxicologist told Congress:

 

Dr. Adrian Gross, FDA toxicologist who asked that Searle

be indicted for fraud told Congress at least one of Searle's studies

" has established beyond ANY REASONABLE DOUBT that aspartame is

capable of inducing brain tumors in experimental animals and that

this predisposition of it is of extremely high significance. ... In

view of 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? "

 

The Delaney Amendment makes it illegal to allow any residues of

cancer causing chemicals in foods. In his concluding testimony Gross

asked, " Given the cancer causing potential of aspartame how would the

FDA justify its position that it views a certain amount of aspartame

as constituting an allowable daily intake or 'safe' level of it? Is

that position in effect 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? " Congressional Record SID835:131 (August 1, l985)

 

The cancer issue was known early on by the FDA and the Bressler

Report, FDA audit, discussed the fraud, like excising brain tumors

from rats, putting them back in the study, and then resurrecting them

on paper when they died. They were filtering out neoplasms and

anything else they didn't want the FDA to know about. Unfortunately

both US Prosecutors Sam Skinner and William Conlon hired on with the

defense team and the statute of limitations expired. Then the FDA

Board of Inquiry revoked the petition for aspartame. This is when

Don Rumsfeld stepped in who was CEO of Searle at the time, and said

he would call in his markers and get aspartame approved anyway. From

the aspartame documentary, " Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World " here is

James Turner, Atty, explaining what Rumsfeld

did: http://www.soundandfury.tv/pages/rumsfeld2.html In the end it

took an Executive Order by President Reagan to make the FDA powerless

to do anything about aspartame until he could get Arthur Hull Hayes

there to over-rule the Board of Inquiry and allow a chemical poison

to be marketed for human consumption. So aspartame was never proven

safe and was marketed through the political chicanery of Don Rumsfeld.

 

Years later the Ramazzini Studies showed aspartame to be a

multipotential carcinogen. Here are the results:

 

 

The first ERF study (2005) was conducted on 1800 Sprague-Dawley rats

(100-150/per sex/per group) In order to simulate daily human intake,

aspartame was added to the standard rat diet in quantities of 5000,

2500, 100, 500, 20, 4, and 0 mg/Kg of body weight. Treatment of the

animals began at 8 weeks of age and continued until spontaneous

death. The results show that APM causes a statistically significant,

dose-related increase of lymphomas/leukemias and malignant tumors of

the renal pelvis in females and malignant tumors of peripheral nerves

in males. These results demonstrate for the first time that APM is a

carcinogenic agent, capable of inducing malignancies at various dose

levels, including those lower than the current acceptable daily

intake (ADI) for humans (50 mg/kg of body weight in the US, 40 mg/kg

of body weight in the EU).

 

The second ERF study (2007) was conducted on 400 Sprague-Dawley rats

(70-95/per sex/per group). In order to simulate daily human intake,

aspartame was added to the standard rat diet in quantities of 100,

20, and 0 mg/Kg of body weight. Treatment of the animals began on the

12th day of fetal life until natural death. The results of the second

study show an increased incidence of lymphomas/leukemias in female

rats with respect to the first study. Moreover, the study shows that

when lifespan exposure to APM begins during fetal life, the age at

which lymphomas/leukemias develop in females is anticipated. For the

first time, a statistically significant increase in mammary cancers

in females was also observed in the second study. The results of this

transplacental carcinogenicity bioassay not only confirm, but also

reinforce the first experimental demonstration of APMs multipotential

carcinogenicity.

 

Concerning aspartame cancer, this is only the tip of the iceberg. It

was banned in Romania in the early 90's for this reason. The

medical text, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, by H. J.

Roberts, M.D. is over 1000 pages of horrors from precipitating

diabetes, MS and obesity to blindness, birth defects, male sexual

dysfunction and sudden cardiac death. As the Trocho Study shows the

formaldehyde converted from the free methyl alcohol embalms living

tissue and damages DNA. When you damage DNA you can destroy humanity.

 

Here is the whole story as written for Prop 65. There is a so-called

nasty list and if your product contains any of the nasty ingredients

such as formaldehyde and methanol it must be labeled with a cancer

warning before it can come into

California. http://www.mpwhi.com/letter_to_cynthia_oshita.htm

 

Here is the front page story on aspartame and Don Rumsfeld in the

Ecologist in

2005: http://www.mpwhi.com/ecologist_september_2005.pdf Notice how

the story starts off - " Once upon a time there was a biochemical

warfare weapon " . Need I say more. Why not simply sweep the poison

out of your country as Romania did, and watch people wake up well

from so many of the horrific symptoms. Consider diabetes alone, not

only can aspartame precipitate it but it simulates and aggravates

diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy, destroys the optic nerve, causes

them to go into convulsions and even interacts with insulin. The

methanol causes them to lose their limbs.

 

It was President Nixon who outlawed cyclamates. If you outlaw

aspartame you will show the world how to do it. There are safe

sweeteners such as Just Like Sugar, www.justlikesugarinc.com It's

made from chicory and orange peel, Vitamin C and Calcium. It has

been analyzed and has no additives in it. Chicory has been used for

70 years to improve the health of diabetics.
