Letter: Studies indicate sweetener dangerous substance

EDITOR:

As a resident of our community, and someone with aspartame MS, I'm very concerned about a recent development in our schools. I represent Mission Possible of Michigan, an international Aspartame awareness group. Our purpose is to alert the public about this toxin. FDA's own report has 92 documented symptoms, including death. It's the most complained about additive ever to the FDA ­ over 10,000 complaints by 1995.

I learned students in our schools who never drank diet pop are now doing so as regular sugar pop has been removed. School officials assure me it was not their intention to steer them to diet pop, and they are "reviewing" the Aspartame issue.

Aspartame is a neurotoxin, carcinogenic drug, once listed by the Pentagon as a "biowarfare" chemical. It has caused the confirmed deaths of six Airline pilots, and even the military advises pilots against consumption. It lowers the seizure threshold in the brain, inhibits serotonin production, causing ADD, ADHD, depression, weight gain and mental confusion.

It has been shown to lower IQ levels, ability to concentrate, causes headaches, body aches, asthma, vision loss and more. The chronic methanol poisoning caused by Aspartame affects the dopamine system of the brain and causes addiction. It's tragic for diabetics, causing 58 reactions, including uncontrollable blood sugar, convulsions and blindness. Big money from industry wins the ADA's approval.

Consider the neurotoxin and psychological effects this drug has on young minds. According to Dr. Russell Blaylock, the Blood Brain Barrier is still forming in adolescence. This is what protects the brain from the harmful affects of toxins, like those in Aspartame (Formaldehyde, DKP, & Methanol.)

New reports on the effect of aspartame on the brains of our children and unborn by aspartame experts including one from Feingold (A.D.D. people) are included in "Report For Schools" on the front page of http://www.wnho.net It's being e-mailed to schools throughout the nation. (A must read!)

I was astonished to find out the true facts, that privately-funded studies show, instead of the industry paid "propaganda" studies. Even the FDA fought its approval, but big money and corrupt politics prevailed, at the public's expense.

You, too, will be shocked to see the true testimonies of former FDA officials and attorney James Turner confirm these facts in the video "Sweet Remedy: A Poisoned World." It's available as a free rental at Family Video (Esky), and our public library.

Please urge your children to refrain from consuming diet pop, or chewing Aspartame gum. Almost all gum contains Aspartame along with pediatric vitamins. Some are mixed with Sucralose (Splenda), a chlorocarbon poison. Talk to your school principal and superintendent about removing this "tainted" product from the schools. The profit schools receive for selling pop is not worth the mental, physical and psychological damage this toxic product is causing.

Read the government documents proving it's all a matter of public record. The truth will set you free.
