Searle's lawsuit to get damning aspartame information eliminated

[Guest guest]

Well folks, I guess I've heard it all now. The Task Force Report on

aspartame was so damning on how they did studies, they sued to have

it excluded. In 1977 the FDA asked for Prosecutor Sam Skinner to

indict them for fraud having to do with these studies, but he as well

as William Conlon both were hired by the defense team.

 

You recall when the FDA revoked the petition for approval they

sued. When Donald Rumsfeld used political chicanery to get aspartame

approved the company then bragged about all these studies showing

safety. What studies showed safety? The ones done where the FDA

caught them in the act of fixing these studies were the reason they

asked for indictment. Obviously they didn't want the studies

discussed by the Task Force to be known so they simply sued to have

them excluded along with any reference to their character. The FDA

did an audit called the Bressler Report

http://dorway.com/dorwblog/?page_id=56 that exposed how Searle did

studies. In one case they were caught excising brain tumors from the

rats, putting them back in the study, then resurrecting them when

they died. They were filtering out what they didn't want the FDA to

know. However, the worst 2 mouse studies were deleted from the

report when the FDA retyped it, and the man who did the studies,

Thomas Frances Xavier Collins was omitted as well.

 

Finally Dr. John Olney had enough of it and insisted Searle do

studies in his lab where he could oversee what they were doing. They

couldn't fudge in Dr. Olney's lab and the studies showed aspartame to

trigger brain damage. Dr. Olney thought based on this the FDA

wouldn't approve it, but Searle did not give the results to the

FDA. In the meantime Donald Rumsfeld was " calling in his markers " to

get aspartame on the market with help from President Ronald Reagan

who wrote an executive order making the FDA powerless to do anything

about aspartame until he could get someone (Hayes) to the FDA to

over-rule the Board of Inquiry's decision to revoke the petition for

approval. Then someone had it expunged which is illegal and the FDA

has refused to make public the Executive Order knowing it has been

removed from the Executive Orders that are required to be made

public. http://www.soundandfury.tv/pages/rumsfeld.html

 

The aspartame industry is known to settle out of court so lawsuits

won't be on the record. For instance, in the case of AS who walked

into the NutraSweet Factory in Augusta, Georgia with a friend and

without protective clothing. The friend dropped dead and Alex's

lungs were damaged. In order to keep this story , out of court they

even threatened to fire his friends.

 

Aspartame was approved in England through a business

deal.

http://www.mpwhi.com/how_aspartame_got_approved_in_england.htm When

you hear the aspartame industry saying aspartame is approved in

different countries, remember it was rubberstamped around the

world. When I was in New Zealand someone from Food Standards said,

" We did no studies here, we relied on the FDA. " Neither were any

studies done in the UK. At one lecture in England a guest said,

" There was actually one study done on rats but they all died in 30

days. " He further went on to say they simply made it a 20 day study

when the rats were still alive. This was allowed.

 

Once aspartame was on the market they tried to prevent studies. For

instance, the VP of Searle threatened if Dr. Richard Wurtman of MIT

did studies on aspartame and seizures he would lose his research

funds. He did. Now Dr. Wurtman who was a tiger in Congress, no

longer speaks out about aspartame. ILSI was set up which is a front

research group with members from places like Coke, Searle and

Monsanto. At the time Dr. Wurtman was threatened Monsanto owned

Searle. Today MIT gets research funds. Here is the UPI

Investigation discussing what happened with Dr.

Wurtman: http://www.mpwhi.com/upi_1987_aspartame_report.pdf

 

When lots of information gets out on what aspartame triggers such as

seizures, the aspartame industry does its own studies to show

consumers aspartame doesn't cause these problems.

 

Here is how they fix the studies:

http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/abuse/seizures.html They are

scholars on it.

 

Then when independent researchers do studies on aspartame which give

the real results they immediately get someone to rebut it. In the

case of the damning Ramazzini studies showing aspartame to be a

multipotential carcinogen it had to be reviewed by the European Food

Safety Authority. They used the flimsiest excuse saying the rats had

respiratory disease, knowing full well that respiratory disease is

the dying process. Dr. Herman Koter, Director of Science, of EFSA

before he resigned confessed that they were pressured by industry to

highjack science.

 

The NutraSweet Company will do anything to stop a hearing because

they know all this information is going to come out. In a report

published by UPI in 1987, Dr. Woodrow Monte said he was convinced in

1983, when the FDA okayed use of NutraSweet in carbonated beverages,

that the sweetener would break down into poisonous quantities of

methyl alcohol in diet sodas left in the Southwest sun. Monte,

director of the Food Science and Nutrition Laboratories at Arizona

State, and two consumer groups petitioned the Arizona Department of

Health Services to ban the sweetener.

 

Monte said his rat studies had shown that chronic ingestion of methyl

alcohol causes brain damage similar to that in humans suffering from

multiple sclerosis - including seizures, amnesia, optic neuritis,

numbness and dizziness. In the desert heat, Monte said, methanol

degrades faster into toxic methyl alcohol. He said his petition

signaled a threat to the company because it could have opened the

door for regulatory actions in other states.

 

In April of l985, about the same time Monte and his associates

finally were to be granted a hearing before the state agency on their

petition, they learned that the Arizona legislature had used a rare

maneuver to change the law, without public notice, to bar state

regulation of FDA approved food additives. The measure passed under

the misleading title of a TOXIC WASTE BILL!!

 

Stephen Fox, Mission Possible New Mexico tried to get aspartame

banned through the Environmental Improvement Board in New Mexico who

twice granted a hearing. It was never held. After a meeting with

aspartame attorneys it was prevented.

 

Today even regulatory agencies put aspartame industry loyalty

before the law. The law states a Citizens Petition must be answered

in 180 days. It's been over 7 years and the FDA has ignored it along

with an amendment on an imminent health hazard which should be

answered in a week or ten days.

 

When is enough enough? They know exactly how to get around the law.
