What the 'bleep' are they telling us?
A Spoonful of Sugar?
We have
just received an article about the dangers of ASPARTAME, also marketed as
NUTRASWEET, SPOONFUL and EQUAL.
At the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE, the EPA announced that there is an
EPIDEMIC of Multiple Sclerosis and Systemic Lupus and they didn't know
what toxin was causing this to be rampant across the United States.
Scientists have now found the answer to their question: ASPARTAME.
In temperatures exceeding 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in Aspartame
converts to Formaldehyde, and then to Formic acid. Patients with methanol
toxicity, quote: caused by drinking 3-4 cans of Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi
per day, have been caused to have MS or Systemic Lupus symptoms. In
Systemic Lupus and MS cases triggered by Aspartame, the victim is unaware
that Aspartame is the culprit, but continued use (in Lupus) can be life
threatening.
On stopping Aspartame these patients usually lose all or most of their
symptoms. Unfortunately, the disease cannot be reversed. Symptoms of
“ASPARTAME DISEASE” are: fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting
pains, numbness in the legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches,
tinnitus, joint pain, depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred
vision, blindness and memory loss.
Formaldehyde is classed with chemicals like cyanide and arsenic - DEADLY
POISONS!!! It kills as surely as the other two, only slower, and causes
all kinds of neurological problems. It changes the brain's chemistry, and
is a reason for severe seizures.
According to The Conference of the American College of Physicians, the
phenylalanine in Aspartame breaks down the seizure threshold and depletes
serotonin, which causes manic depression, panic attacks, rage and
violence. Aspartame is especially deadly for diabetics, as it makes the
blood sugar level go out of control, causing patients to suffer severe
memory loss, coma and death. The memory loss is due to the fact that
aspartic acid and phenylalanine are neurotoxic without the other amino
acids found in protein. Thus it goes past the blood brain barrier and
deteriorates the neurons of the brain.
Dr. Russell Blaylock, neurosurgeon, said; "The ingredients stimulate
the neurons of the brain to death, causing brain damage of varying
degrees." Aspartame disease is rampant in the US, and most probably
in more than 90 other countries (incl. the UK and most of Europe) where
over 5000 products containing Aspartame are sold.
Aspartame Disease could also be to blame for Gulf War Syndrome. Several
thousand pallets of diet drinks were stored and consumed in heat of 120
degrees F. (Remember heat liberates the methanol at 86 degrees F) Most
Gulf War Syndrome symptoms are identical to Aspartame poisoning. Dr. H. J.
Roberts, world expert on Aspartame poisoning, says it also escalates
Alzheimer’s disease. Women as young as 30 are admitted to hospices with
Alzheimer’s disease! Dr. Roberts also says that consuming Aspartame
during conception can cause birth defects. According to Dr. Louis Elsas,
Pediatrician Professor of Genetics, the phenylalanine concentrates in the
placenta, causing mental retardation.
Another neurosurgeon said that when brain tumors were removed, high levels
of Aspartame were found in them. Aspartame makes you crave carbohydrates,
and stores in the fatty tissues, so even though it is used as a diet aid,
it actually makes you FAT! MONSANTO, the creator of Aspartame, (the
largest G.M. food company) knows all about the dangers. They fund the
American Diabetes Association, the American Dietetic Association,
Congress, and the Conference of the American College of Physicians. As
proven in 1996, the American Dietetic Association takes money from the
food industry to endorse their products.
Therefore, they cannot criticize MONSANTO. A bill that tried to warn
people about the dangers of ASPARTAME, was killed off by the powerful drug
and chemical lobbies, letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an
unsuspecting public. And that includes all of us here in the UK! - Having
read this, would you trust MONSANTO'S GM food?
