When lots of information gets out on what aspartame triggers such as seizures, the aspartame industry does its own studies to show consumers aspartame doesn't cause these problems. Here is how they fix the studies: http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/... They are scholars on it. Then when independent researchers do studies on aspartame which give the real results they immediately get someone to rebut it. In the case of the damning Ramazzini studies showing aspartame to be a multipotential carcinogen it had to be reviewed by the European Food Safety Authority. They used the flimsiest excuse saying the rats had respiratory disease, knowing full well that respiratory disease is the dying process. Dr. Herman Koter, Director of Science, of EFSA before he resigned confessed that they were pressured by industry to highjack science. The NutraSweet Company will do anything to stop a hearing because they know all this information is going to come out. In a report published by UPI in 1987, Dr. Woodrow Monte said he was convinced in 1983, when the FDA okayed use of NutraSweet in carbonated beverages, that the sweetener would break down into poisonous quantities of methyl alcohol in diet sodas left in the Southwest sun. Monte, director of the Food Science and Nutrition Laboratories at Arizona State, and two consumer groups petitioned the Arizona Department of Health Services to ban the sweetener. Monte said his rat studies had shown that chronic ingestion of methyl alcohol causes brain damage similar to that in humans suffering from multiple sclerosis - including seizures, amnesia, optic neuritis, numbness and dizziness. In the desert heat, Monte said, methanol degrades faster into toxic methyl alcohol. He said his petition signaled a threat to the company because it could have opened the door for regulatory actions in other states. In April of l985, about the same time Monte and his associates finally were to be granted a hearing before the state agency on their petition, they learned that the Arizona legislature had used a rare maneuver to change the law, without public notice, to bar state regulation of FDA approved food additives. The measure passed under the misleading title of a TOXIC WASTE BILL!! Stephen Fox, Mission Possible New Mexico tried to get aspartame banned through the Environmental Improvement Board in New Mexico who twice granted a hearing. It was never held. After a meeting with aspartame attorneys it was prevented. Today even regulatory agencies put aspartame industry loyalty before the law. The law states a Citizens Petition must be answered in 180 days. It's been over 7 years and the FDA has ignored it along with an amendment on an imminent health hazard which should be answered in a week or ten days. When is enough enough? They know exactly how to get around the law.
