Aspartame's record

Aspartame's record is one of smarmy anti-science and political
pressure plays. The FDA and CDC have become branch offices of the
profiteers, and these agencies disregard the research and revelations
of world famous doctors. A 3 year study on 1,800 rats by Dr. Morando
Soffritti at an Italian cancer research institute
concluded aspartame is a multipotential carcinogen. It was peer
reviewed by seven world experts. For his work Dr. Soffritti was
honored with an award at the Mount Sinai Institute in NYC earlier
this year as he released a new study showing it only takes a small
amount of aspartame to trigger cancer and babies who survive a
pregnant women who used it can grow up to cancer.

Here are the summaries of these two important studies that confirmed
the carcinogenicity of aspartame that FDA acknowledged in original studies.

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.


The National Soft Drink Association (now American Beverage)
originally protested to Congress against aspartame approval. Their
objections cover many pages in the Congressional Record of 5-7-85.

Coverup is customary for the criminals who concoct this poison and
feed it to half the world. In August the New Zealand Soil & Health
and Safe Food Campaign brought me to their beautiful land for a 3-week
lecture tour and to present official documents and medical reports to
their NZ Food Safety Authority. Abby Cormack's case of poisoning
on Wrigley's aspartame gum in NZ had been making world news. The
NZFSA Authority is an agency responsible to protect New Zealanders
from toxic substances, but they refused to see me or even to accept
the federal and medical documents I traveled 10,000 miles to bring
them. Chris Wheeler, Mission Possible New Zealand wrote the most
indepth report on what was going
on. http://www.rense.com/general78/dying.htm It was obvious who was
writing the propaganda for the NZFSA since Ajinomoto was using this
as an advertisement on the web.
