Sugar Group Sour on Sweeteners (New Name for Aspartame Misleading)

[Guest guest]

This is a very interesting article because of these comments:

 

" Only 4 percent of Americans had heard of neotame; 6 percent of

isomalt; 6 percent of acesulfame K; and 10 percent of maltitol.

Conversely, nearly three-quarters of Americans were familiar with

aspartame, which might explain why it's time for a name change. "

 

People now know that aspartame is a deadly addictive,

excitoneurotoxic, carcinogenic, genetically engineered drug that

damages the mitochondria and interacts with drugs and

vaccines. Aspartame is also an adjuvant, an immune stimulator, like

in vaccines and no doubt the reason its used in vaccines. But how

many do know this? Obviously Ajinomoto feels they know and the

reason they are changing the name. Yes, indeed it is misleading not

only because it was done to try and stumble the people who won't know

they changed the name and think its some new sweetener that may be

safe and try it but also for another reason. It's the methanol, the

severe metabolic poison that converts to formaldehyde and embalms the

body, that causes the sweetness, not the amino acids. They are

deadly too, of course. The aspartic acid is an excitotoxin which

stimulates the neurons of the brain to death causing brain damage.

(Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills by neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock,

M.D., www.russellblaylockmd.com ). The phenylalanine in aspartame

at 50% and as an isolate is a neurotoxin that floods the brain,

lowers the seizure threshold and depletes serotonin triggering

psychiatric and behavioral problems. The molecule breaks down to

diketopiperazine, which is a brain tumor agent. The whole chemical

mess causes so many symptoms and diseases that it feels a medical

text of over 1000 pages. (Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic,

www.sunsentpress.com, by H. J. Roberts, M.D.

 

As to sugar, now they genetically engineering the sugar beets. At

least we have the safe sweetener, Just Like Sugar, which is all food

without additives (www.justlikesugarinc.com ).

 

Indeed the FDA should now allow Ajinomoto to change the name of

aspartame because its misleading. Instead they should ban aspartame

like they have been asked to do through citizens petitions that have

gone unanswered, against their own law, and a petition calling

aspartame an imminent health hazard, required to be answered in a

week or ten day, sent in 2007.

 

Consider for a moment this reason so many are dying. A study in

Liverpool explains the interaction of some of these deadly

additives. http://www.organicconsumers.org/toxic/msg010306.cfm For

instance, they interfere with the development of the nervous

system. http://www.wnho.net/government_chemist_challenges_fda.htm

Aspartame and MSG have a synergistic and additive effect. Anyone

using aspartame and using prescription drugs risk the

interaction. Anyone who has taken a vaccination and uses aspartame

risks the interaction, and, of course, aspartame is an adjuvant. Dr.

James Bowen said if you go from aspartame to Splenda, a chlorocarbon

poison you can maintain the reactions to aspartame and pick up those

from Splenda: http://www.wnho.net/splenda_chlorocarbon.htm Consumers

must educate themselves on all artificial sweeteners.

 

Think of all the celebrities using drugs and aspartame that have died

like Heath Ledger: http://www.rense.com/general80/heath.htm

Aspartame causes sudden cardiac death. Think of the diabetic

organizations that take money from the aspartame industry and push

this on diabetics when it not only can precipitate diabetes, but

simulates and aggravates diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy and

interacts with insulin. Casey Johnson who just died, Johnson and

Johnson heiress, worked with the Juvenile Diabetic Assn who has

pushed aspartame on diabetics for years. Was she using it and taking

drugs and insulin? Aspartame is also an endocrine disrupting drug.

 

Who knows more than the FDA about how deadly aspartame is? After

all, they were the ones who originally tried to have the manufacturer

indicted for fraud, and it was their Board of Inquiry that revoked

the petition for approval based on the fact it was never proven safe

and caused brain tumors. Their own toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross,

told congress that aspartame violated the Delaney Amendment because

of the cancer and, therefore, no ADI should be able to be set. FDA

toxicologist, Dr. Jacqueline Verrett even told Congress in 1987 that

even then (6 years after Don Rumsfeld got aspartame on the market

through political chicanery (

http://www.soundandfury.tv/pages/rumsfeld.html ) that aspartame had

never been proven safe. Yet, the FDA continues to serve above the

law and not answer petitions for ban and continues to lie to the public.

 

In fact, some years ago in a confrontation with someone from the FDA

at an expo he lost his cool and said, " Betty, your argument is not

with the FDA, its with Donald Rumsfeld who got it marketed after we

revoked the petition for approval. Of course, we know its poison but

do you really expect for us to say, yes we approved it but its not

safe? " One thing they could do is serve within the law, answer

their petitions and ban it. One woman in Florida who got upset when

her child had an aspartame seizure really gave it to an FDA agent who

said, " We said it caused seizures from the beginning, they should

have listened. "

 

So what is necessary to get it banned? Here EFSA is reviewing

aspartame, knows the controversy, has read damning studies and

interviewed experts on its toxicity. They know its poison whether

they say it or not. Food Standards in England knows aspartame is

poison regardless of their defense of industry, and are doing a

study:

http://www.mpwhi.com/statement_for_food_standards_october_2009.htm

and

http://www.mpwhi.com/fsa_admits_not_accepting_scientific_evidence_regarding_aspa\

rtame.htm

Yet, what has the European Union done? They just approved

Neotame:

http://foodbizdaily.com/articles/95531-release-zero-calorie-neotame-sweetener-ap\

proved-for-use-by-european.aspx

Does the European Union know how deadly aspartame is? Of course, I

even flew to Brussels and presented them with all the damning

information, congressional records, research on scientific peer

reviewed studies and funding, and even showed them the 1000 page

medical text by Dr. Roberts in 2002. What did they do when they did

their review? They left out all the damning information and used

industry's studies defending the product. I had given them

information on these flawed studies which they also ignored.

 

Dr. Jeffrey Bada who did the Bada Reports on aspartame also reviewed

Neotame when I faxed him the formula some years ago. He told

me: " Betty, they just scrambled the formula of aspartame " .

 

Countries around the world approved aspartame based on a rubberstamp

and never did studies like in New Zealand, admitted by Food

Standards. In England it was approved through a business deal:

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

 

If Ajinomoto wants to change the name of aspartame how about " Fraud

and Deception " . That will protect the consumer and explains the past

history of aspartame as outlined in the Task Report, Request for

Indictment by FDA, Bressler

Report,

http://www.mpwhi.com/fda_hid_research_that_damned_aspartame.htm,

thousands of newspaper articles, and hundreds of thousands of

articles on aspartame on the Internet giving factual information.

 

This article was written by someone from the American Sugarcane

League. I know they must know that today anyone using sugar must be

sure its organic and not genetically engineered. I certainly agree

with him about truth in labeling! www.truthinlabeling.org

(MSG). Whenever I think of Monsanto and genetic engineering, I

think of the scripture in Revelation: " ..he will bring to ruin those

ruining the earth " ..

Letter: Sugar group sour on sweeteners

 

* Published: Jan 14, 2010 - Page: 8B

 

Ajinomoto, a Japanese company that produces food seasonings such as

MSG and the chemical sweetener aspartame, recently announced the

sweetener would now be called " AminoSweet. "

 

According to the company, which produces more aspartame than anyone,

" the name AminoSweet is appealing and memorable. "

 

Time will tell if that prediction holds true, but the fact is

artificial sweeteners are causing a lot of consumer confusion. A 2006

Harris Interactive poll showed almost no consumer awareness of many

artificial sweeteners commonly found in foods and beverages.

 

Only 4 percent of Americans had heard of neotame; 6 percent of

isomalt; 6 percent of acesulfame K; and 10 percent of maltitol.

Conversely, nearly three-quarters of Americans were familiar with

aspartame, which might explain why it's time for a name change.

 

Research indicates grocery shoppers want natural ingredients, not

man-made products such as C14H18N2O5 (the molecular formula for aspartame).

 

Consumers should be given the information they need to make informed

decisions instead of being subject to name changes and confusing

nutrition labels that read like a chemistry textbook.

 

That is why the Sugar Association, a coalition of U.S. sugar

producers that I chair, has petitioned the Food and Drug

Administration for truth in labeling.

 

We've asked them to follow Canada's lead by listing sweeteners on the

front of a package with the amount of those sweeteners in a product.

 

Did you know chemical sweeteners are prevalent in juices marketed to

tots and even put into drinks designed to prevent dehydration in sick

infants? Probably not. And things could get worse as food

manufacturers take more of a cocktail approach to sweeten their products.

 

Sugar alone cannot achieve the ultra-sweet flavors many food

manufacturers crave, so they turn to laboratories to produce

chemicals that can be up to 13,000 times sweeter than the natural stuff.

 

That's exactly why it is time for the FDA to take action. Our

petition has languished for nearly five years, entangled in a sea of

bureaucratic red tape.

 

We believe people want sugar in their products, and we know that the

hard-working farmers of Louisiana can produce that natural, safe sweetener.

 

Sugar has been grown here for more than 200 years, and we've never

had to change our name. At 15 calories a teaspoon, its reputation is

unparalleled, and it remains the benchmark to which chemical sweeteners aspire.
