Former FDA Investigator Exposes Aspartame As Deadly Neurotoxin

[Guest guest]

I hope everyone is not tired of hearing how deadly aspartame is...

I just find it amazing how often this information pops up (on

alternative news/health postings) but it never makes it into

the " mainstream " !! I just keep thinking that if this information

circulates enough it will perculate into the larger society... We

will see...

Former FDA Investigator Exposes Aspartame As Deadly Neurotoxin

That Never Should

Have Been Approved

From Betty Martini

To all my neighbors of all nations, here is an Open Statement

concerning the artificial sweetner, Aspartame, by Arthur M.

Evangelista, a former FDA Investigator...

 

I am a former investigator who worked with the US Food and Drug

Administration: This is what I have to say about Aspartame and the

people who brought it to our tables.

 

As a former FDA investigator, I was charged with overseeing two

major projects for the FDA. These concerned Pesticides and Chemicals

in Foods and Illegal Drug Tissue Residues in Animals (including milk

related issues).

 

I worked closely with the sister Federal and State agencies, oversaw

contracts, I was a co-ordinator and lead investigator on projects

involving EPA and USDA. The FDA, in the mid-70's to mid-90's was not

a large organization, having an annual budget no greater than a

medium-sized hospital by 1995.

 

The problems with aspartame include not only the biochemical nature

of this toxin but also it sheds light on the political nature of the

players involved. The changes in regulatory policies and regulations

resulting from corporate-government ties and the politicians closely

associated with these ties.

 

What I can tell you, regarding toxicology, histology and

biochemistry, is that aspartame is neurotoxic. Its components easily

transcend the blood-brain barrier, interfering with normal nerve

cell function. This affects the glutathione and calcium mechanisms

in place, destroying nerve call integrity. The methanol then breaks

down into formaldehyde-formic acid components, which

denaturizes/mutates the DNA: a known scientific fact. The subsequent

result from this interaction and from isolates of genetically

modified amino acids, the methanol, is nerve cell necrosis and

subsequent organ system degradation.

 

The hypothalamus alone (the major controller for much of the

endocrine system), is at especially high risk to these

effects...thereby, affecting many other organ systems. I have seen

first hand the effects on symptoms when individuals have abstained

from ingesting the artificial sweetener, aspartame. Make no bones

about it, aspartame is a major factor in many symptomologies due to

its effects upon brain chemistry.

 

ORGANIZED RHETORIC

 

Coming from a family and relatives of physicians, I know only too

well that if there was even a chance that something was wrong with a

patient, a truly committed physician would thoroughly investigate

any etiology (or cause) regarding an illness (both chronic and sub

chronic), rather than retain a close-minded approach to the

available data. This just boggles my mind when those, who are

supposed to know better; choose to adhere to the organized rhetoric

of industry-backed misinformation, without giving the true

scientific facts an opportunity to sink in. At the least, consider

the possibilities. I guarantee, the truth will then become self-

evident!

 

The biggest lie told, is one of self-deceit; not to mention, all the

people made ill and killed in the process of 'ignorant medicine' eg

a doctor has sold his skills and MD diploma to industrial chemical

manufacturers, pharmaceutical firms or even to governmental

associations!! Money is money...right,Doc?

 

Prior to the approval of aspartame, the FDA sent two specialized

teams to G.D. Searle and found a ghastly 95% level of misdirected

testing; concealed tests, collusion between corporate and their

company-funded research; inappropriate antemortum issues;

withholding of material facts; alterations of records: lying to

investigators, lost records, no records; falsification of reports,

bribery, poor test methodology or design...et al.

 

FDA investigators Brodsky and Bressler, both seasoned federal

investigators, each led investigative teams to review Searle's lab

practices. These practices at Searle were despicable and should have

been thrown out. This is a fact. The actual report are displayed on

http://www.dorway.com Unfortunately, many ethics in the law were

also violated during this time period, by the various government

departments in the USA. This was further corrupted by politicians

involved with corporate constituents who in turn affected the

regulatory process in favour of these constituents. Another name for

this, of course, is 'bribery'.

 

FAVORABLE INFLUENCES

 

This was nothing less than full-blown collusion. The 'revolving

door' at the FDA, is very much a reality. Former corporate

officials, who began working for the Food and Drug Administration

(and vice versa), were very cavalier about issues uncovered at

Searle surrounding their drug processing and issues involved with

aspartame. Some, with a hidden agenda of promised secret money or

better jobs, actively hindered the investigation into G. D. Searle's

laboratory practices. It is obvious when you see the records and

numbers and where those jobs were. These are a matter of public and

Congressional Record. Subsequently, many former FDA officials, due

to their 'favorable influences' with regulatory enforcement and

rulings, were in fact, rewarded with corporate positions and

lucrative incomes, including former FDA Commissioner Arthur Hull

Hayes, who was about to be brought up on ethics and misconduct

charges!

 

The whole process was (is still) rotten throughout. The various

dependent research completed on aspartame proves this (in part,a

chemical warfare agent) is a neurotoxin. It is unlike any other

compound on the market. Each of its three components are toxic.

 

The only people I have met or communicated with, who have

steadfastly refused to look at this picture for what it is, have

been found to have other agendas, other than the truth. Not even a

sceptic, like my brother ( a chief microbiologist) could ignore the

factual evidence of aspartame's neurotoxicity when presented with

the evidence. Being a sceptic is one thing, but to deny the

evidence, the motives and the pieces of a rather complex and sordid

puzzle with common denominators, is ludicrous; you would have to be

braindead. To still adhere to the narrow focus of the corporate spin-

doctors and corporate-back rhetoric from federal regulators, means

that you have clearly chosen to purposefully close your mind to the

evidence and/o you are operating with a pro-industry (hidden)

agenda.

 

There is rampant corruption in these processes and it behoves all

educated, law enforcement and scientific-minded individuals to look

at the entire picture to piece together one of the biggest

travesties in public health history. The common thread which ties

everything together is; the strong political influences, the

monumental amounts of money used to purchase the souls of those who

have placed greed above common sense, public health and the trust of

public office.

 

REMEMBER AGENT ORANGE?

 

As an investigator, I found this hard to believe at first, that so

many factors have come together to collude in such a way, to allow

aspartame into our food supply. Regardless of how I initially felt

about it, the evidence is factual ....it happened. Now we have to do

something about it, because it is nothing less than MASS MURDER.

 

Additionally and historically, many recalled products, including FDA

regulated products, were once thought safe. DDT was once thought to

be safe, remember?

 

History of the regulatory problems, fraud, deceit and scientific

corruption with various drug products would serve you well to

remember here.

 

Regulatory problems and corruption resulting in mass-illness or

deaths with various prescription drugs and drug-tissue residues in

foods (antibiotics) which was known by the FDA since the mid 80's,

perpetuating further our problems with antibiotic resistant germs.

 

Remember Agent Orange? How long did it take the US government to

even acknowledge that there was a problem with spraying a dioxin

compound all over the Asian forests during Vietnam? Monsanto never

said a word during this period; no chemical manufacturer did. It was

years before the veterans, who gave their lives or whose lives were

ruined, were even given the acknowledgement that there was a

problem. The Gulf War Veterans were in the same boat for a while.

Maybe someone will pay attention to their plight.

 

Many policies, I found out, were not made to protect the public

health, but rather, to provide leverage at appropriation time before

Congress and to protect the industry and their political government.

This is especially true when they were paid for their 'services' by

the pharmaceutical or chemical industries. This is what I

call 'social cancer'. Many systems for protecting the public health

are (were) less than effective...making very little difference on

public health issues. Much of it was for 'show' and for funding. It

was the folks in Rockville and Washington who made the final

decisions on how to play most of these issues out. Unfortunately for

us, it was not to favor the public health processes. The entire

process reeks of political and corporate influence. Many mainstream

media newscats and reports have exposed this problem.

 

SPIN-DOCTORS

 

There are regulatory or enforcement agencies that have questionably

close ties with industry, aside from an unethical revolving door.

These ties are even illegal in some aspects and compromise an

agency's ability to regulate. It compromises not only the integrity

of the agency, but the information being disseminated, as well.

Everything becomes suspect. Then the spin-doctors are called into

action.

 

THE EVIDENCE IS THERE

 

So tell me then, why do government agencies support and make

policies around industrial concerns, like pharmaceutical or chemical

manufacturing firms? The answer is easy: Money and/or power! Why

aren't government agencies remaining impartial? Somebody has a

little influence, that is why and, this influence is not in the

public's best interest. Follow the money trail.

 

The truth has been difficult to come by. Investigators, lay people,

teachers, educators, regulators and whistleblowers have, piece by

piece, put this highly complex puzzle together and now see this

issue for what it is. The evidence is there. Unfortunately, I have

found that many physicians, including those who can make substantial

incomes from treating the effects of the neurotoxin aspartame (and

other medically 'healable' issues) would rather people did not find

out about its effects on brain chemistry. Giving doctors the benefit

of the doubt, if they do not consider aspartame poisoning as a cause

for concern or instigator of symptoms, they are simply not very good

investigators. Then may be the doctor should try carpentry or other

non-patient related work.

 

In truth, doctors have a business. This is a sub-set of business

treatment practices that is making money based on the introduction

of a poisonous product. I also found out that the large government

health association and many other so-called health groups, have

received substantial money, contributions, or stipends from industry

regarding their products.

 

BUSINESS GOES BEFORE PUBLIC HEALTH

 

This includes certain public health associations - the very people

who are supposed to be helping the public, who for legal reasons

cannot be named here, they like many others, diabolically support

aspartame and the money it has made them. They are businesses... and

business goes before public health. Look at any health association

and check out the list of their contributors and tell me what you

see.

 

FACTS:

 

Regarding aspartame, I have written articles about this substance,

they explained the processes that allowed aspartame into the

marketplace, through various reports and information uncovered

whilst I was with the agency and afterwards, with the help of other

investigators and agency data. Much of this information is available

for review, you can draw your own conclusions.

 

Open your mind. Know that the government-corporate issues have

shocked us before, to our collective dismay. I urge you to consider

all the factors; ... the political, physiological and regulatory

processes which created the mistaken and unfortunate acceptance of

this toxin in our food supply. This information is not 'what I

think' nor how I feel...

 

....It is a fact, that ASPARTAME SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN APPROVED

based on the information submitted to the FDA, including the

information that was not submitted. It is a fact that politics and

those with 'hidden agendas' illegally affected the regulatory

processes, misused and abused their authority, to bring to market

this toxic food additive.

 

If you drink aspartame and have experienced health problems, then

cease your consumption of it (and its cousin MSG) for 60 days and

see if your symptoms disappear. You have nothing to lose. If you do

not follow this simple experiment for 60 days, you could lose your

life. Additionally, educate yourselves. It is your body, your health

and your life.

Note from Betty Martini, Founder, Mission Possible Intl

(www.dorway.com - 770 242-2599), global unpaid volunteer force

warning the world off aspartame: Updates: The European Parliament

has voted to re-examine aspartame. They will also examine Stevia

which got outlawed for no reason except to keep consumers using the

toxin aspartame. There are at least 500 studies on Stevia showing

safety and you can contact the Stevita Company in Dallas, Texas,

Oscar Rodes (petro). The actual consumption by humans

without a single report of undesired side effects over a long period

of time (30 years in Japan, 15 years in Brazil in the extract form,

and centuries in Paraguay and Brazil on the leaves form)

demonstrates that the product is safe for its intended use - that is

as a sweetener. It is the salvation of diabetics as it helps in the

metabolism of sugar whereas aspartame can precipitate diabetes,

keeps blood sugar out of control, destroys the optic nerve, can

cause diabetics to go into convulsions and even interacts with

insulin. It is particularly pushed on diabetics. It has caused an

epidemic of diabetes and obesity, as it is a drug that makes you

crave carbohydrates so you gain weight. See protest of National Soft

Drink Association on www.dorway.com and Aspartame Makes You Fatter

by Sandra Cabot, M.D. Also read Aspartame and Diabetes and

Hypoglycemia by diabetic specialist H. J. Roberts, M.D.

 

No drug is safe on the market as long as aspartame exists as it

interacts with just about every drug used to treat the problems it

causes completely outlined in a chapter on drug interaction in

Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic by Roberts. One out of four

are having drug interactions! Two-thirds of the population in

America and 40% of our children are using this deadly chemical

poison that interacts with drugs and as a chemical

hypersensitization agent interacts with vaccines, other toxins and

unsafe additives.

 

I have filed a Citizens Petition with the FDA based on the fact

their records show aspartame to be deadly and yet they lie to the

public. They have been told not to send their FDA propaganda rag,

the FDA Consumer or a packet of Federal Registers. The law requires

they answer in six months. It has been 10 months and they have not

answered. To read the entire Board of Inquiry report of the FDA

saying not to approve aspartame and the famed Dr. John Olney's paper

to the Board of Inquiry telling them what would happen to the brains

of our children go to www.greatfallspro.com Mission Possible Maine.

They supply special equipment to read the original documents.

 

Please contact Betty Martini, Bettym19 (770 242-2599)

if you have suffered brain tumors, seizures or blindness or eye

deterioration from aspartame for class action.

 

I leave you with the profound words of James Bowen, M.D., who has

Lou Gehrigs from aspartame in his paper Aspartame Murders Infants,

Violates Federal Domestic GEnocide Law: " Aspartame is sold as

NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, Canderel, Benevia, E951, etc., and is

in thousands of foods and diet drinks. At every point in the

fertility process aspartame destroys, beginning with the gleam in

Mom and Pop's eyes. It ruins female sexual response and induces male

sexual dysfunction. Beyond this, aspartame disrupts fetal

development by aborting it or inducing defects. And if a live child

is born aspartame may have heinously damaged the DNA of the baby,

cursing future generations. "

 

Is NutraSweet a Neurotoxin? You bet your aspartame! It's only

appropriate use is as a rat killer and to kill fire ants.
