OT: Diet Soda Anyone?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

I received this today. It's a bit long, but important to read and

forward to others.

 

All the best,

Michelle

 

 

If it says " SUGAR FREE, " on the label, DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! I

have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL

CONFERENCE on " ASPARTAME " marketed as 'NutraSweet,' 'Equal,'

and 'Spoonful.' In the keynote address by the EPA, it was announced

that in the United States in 2001 there is an epidemic of multiple

sclerosis and systemic lupus, that it was hard to understand what

toxin was causing this to be rampant. I stood up and said that I was

there to lecture on exactly that subject.

 

I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous: When the temperature

of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in

ASPARTAME converts to Formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in

turn causes metabolic acidosis. (Formic acid is the poison found in

the sting of fire ants.) The methanol toxicity mimics among other

conditions multiple sclerosis.

 

People were being diagnosed with having multiple sclerosis in error.

The multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, where methanol

toxicity is!

 

Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis,

especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. The victim

usually does not know that the aspartame is the culprit. He or she

continues its use,irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may

become life-threatening.

 

We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic once

taken off diet sodas. In the case of those diagnosed with Multiple

Sclerosis, (when in reality, the disease is methanol toxicity), most

of the symptoms disappear. We've seen many cases where vision

returned and hearing improved markedly. This also applies to cases

of tinnitus.

 

During a lecture I said " If you are using ASPARTAME (NutraSweet,

Equal, Spoonful, etc.) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms,

spasms, shooting pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo,

dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, depression, anxiety

attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss-you probably

have ASPARTAME DISEASE! " People were jumping up during the lecture

saying, I've got some of these symptoms: Is it reversible? " Yes, Not

drinking diet sodas and keeping an eye out for aspartame on food

labels, yes!

 

We have a very serious problem. A stranger came up to Dr. Espisto

(one of my speakers) and me and said: " Could you tell me why so many

people seem to be coming down with MS? " During a visit to a hospice,

a nurse said that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke

addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence!

Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi, etc. IS NOT A DIET PRODUCT!

 

The Congressional Record states that it makes you crave

carbohydrates and will make you FAT. The formaldehyde stores in the

fat cells, particularly no significant increase in exercise, etc.,

Dr. Roberts in his lecture stated that he had patient who lost an

average of 19 pounds over a trial period.

 

Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics. We found that

physicians would believe that they have a patient with retinopathy,

when in fact the symptoms are caused by aspartame. The aspartame

drives the blood sugar out of control. Thus diabetics may suffer

acute memory loss due to the fact that aspartic acid and

phenylalanine are neurotoxic without the other amino acids found in

protein. Thus it passes the blood brain barrier and deteriorates the

neurons of the brain, causing in diabetics (as well as in patients

not suffering from diabetes) various kinds of brain damage,

seizures, depression, manic depression, panic attacks, rage,

violence.

 

The Aspartame in thousands of pallets of diet Coke and diet Pepsi

consumed by men and women fighting in the Gulf War, may be partially

to blame for the well-known Gulf War Syndrome.

 

Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects i.e. mental

retardation if taken at the time of conception and early pregnancy.

Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and

should NOT be given NutraSweet. I can relate different case

histories of children having mal seizures and other disturbances

being on NutraSweet.

 

Unfortunately it is not always easy to convince a mother that

aspartame is to blame for her child's illness. Only by trial and

success will she be able to warn other mothers to take their

children's health in their own hands.

 

Stevia, a sweet herb, NOT A MANUFACTURED ADDITIVE, which helps in

the metabolism of sugar (which would be ideal for diabetics) has now

been approved as a dietary supplement by the FDA. For years the FDA

has outlawed this sweet food because of their loyalty to MONSANTO.

 

Books on this subject are available: EXCITOTOXINS: THE TASTE THAT

KILLS - written by Dr. Russell Blayblock (Health Press 1-800-643-

2665) and DEFENSE AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE - written by DR H. J.

Roberts, also a diabetic specialist. These two doctors will be

posting a position paper with some case histories on the deadly

effects of Aspartame on the Internet.

 

According to the Conference of the American College of

Physicians " we are talking about a plague of neurological diseases

caused by this deadly poison. " Here is the problem: There were

Congressional Hearings when aspartame was included in 100 different

products. Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent

hearings, but to no avail. Nothing has been done. The drug and

chemical lobbies have very deep pockets. Now there are over 5,000

products containing this chemical, and the PATENT HAS EXPIRED!!!!!

 

I assure you, MONSANTO, the creator of Aspartame knows how deadly it

is They fund among others, the American Diabetes Association, the

American Dietetic Association, the Conference of the American

College of Physicians This has been exposed in the New York Times -

to no avail. These Associations cannot Criticize any additives or

convey their link to MONSANTO because they take money from the food

industry and have to endorse their products.

 

Senator Howard Hetzenbaum wrote a bill that would have warned all

infants, pregnant mothers and children of the dangers of aspartame.

The bill would have also instituted independent studies on the

problems existing in the population (seizures, changes in brain

chemistry, changes neurological and behavioral; symptoms). It was

killed by the powerful drug and chemical lobbies, letting loose the

hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting public.
