study to evaluate the potential carcinogenic effects of aspartame
demonstrates the chemical sweetener "induces an increase in lymphomas and
leukemia in female rats." The research will be presented at a September
international scientific conference, "Framing the Future in the Light of the
Past: Living in a Chemical World."
Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock M.D. commented: "The new study released in the
European Journal of oncology by Morando Soffritti and co-workers should
terrify mothers and all those consuming aspartame sweetened products. This
was a carefully done study which clearly demonstrated a statistically
significant increase in several types of lymphomas and leukemia in rats.
Both of these malignancies have increased significantly in this country
since the widespread use of aspartame.
"This study confirmed the previous study by Dr. Trocho and co-workers, which
also found the formaldehyde breakdown product of aspartame to be damaging to
cellular DNA and that this damage was accumulative. The type of damage was a
duplicate of that associated with cancers. Along with this most recent
study, this means that drinking a single diet cola sweetened with aspartame
every day could increase one's risk of developing a lymphoma or leukemia.
"They also found an increased incidence of malignant brain tumors, even
though it was not statistically significant. This does not mean there is no
association to brain tumors, since only the animals exposed to aspartame
developed the tumors. With children and pregnant women drinking the largest
amount of diet colas, this puts their children at the greatest risk of
developing one of these horrible diseases. Their study found that even low
doses of aspartame could cause these malignancies; yet, the higher the dose,
the more cancers that were seen.
"Since aspartame can increase obesity and may even cause the metabolic
syndrome that affects 48 million Americans, there is no reason to ever
consume this product. At the least it should be immediately banned from all
schools."
Dr. Blaylock wrote the Miami Herald to counteract propaganda by the Calorie
Control Council, an aspartame front group: "It is known that the amount of
toxic phenylalanine reaching the baby is twice as high as that in the
mother's blood because the placenta concentrates the toxin. In addition,
numerous metabolic breakdown products of aspartame are known to damage the
developing infant's brain, including methanol, formaldehyde, formic acid,
diketopiperizine and phenylacetate.
"Aspartame has been shown by several studies to damage DNA, which can lead
to cancer and degenerative brain disorders later in life. The risk of
increased brain tumors in such a child would be enormous. Similar mechanisms
of damage would be expected in these with liver disease. Studies on
aspartame safety have shown that the product increases tumors throughout
numerous organs, especially the brain. It was shown that brain tumor
incidence increased over 47 times in animals exposed to aspartame.
"With the public concern over childhood obesity and diabetes few are being
told of the overwhelming evidence that early exposure to excitotoxins as
found in aspartame consistently produce gross obesity and insulin resistant
diabetes, just as we are seeing in our youth. The promoters of aspartame use
have been lying from the beginning and continue to use their money and
political clout to cover up the real and present dangers of this toxic
product." Astonishingly the Miami Herald ignored Dr. Blaylock's lifesaving
cry of alarm. "Clout" in

reviewed eight years of data confirming a diet soda link to obesity. She
said: "Something linked to diet soda drinking is also linked to obesity."
An earlier study found weight gain among 78,694 women using artificial
sweeteners:
Weight Change Among Women. Prev Med 1985: 15: 195-202.
Joe Stalin said: "One man's death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a
statistic." Consider the tragedy of an 8 year old child who consumed
aspartame products as told by Dr. H. J. Roberts in his 1038 page magnum work
"Aspartame Disease, an Ignored Epidemic". "In two years she developed
marketed swelling of one shoulder which then involved the neck. Her arm
almost tripled in size. ... Numerous physicians and consultants diagnosed
histiocytic leukemia. The patient received large doses of Prednisone. Of
particular interest is there was dramatic clinical improvement and virtual
normalization of the blood changes when the mother eliminated additives.
Prednisone was stopped. The patient subsequently ate several bowls of an
aspartame cereal. Marked swelling of the checks developed, coupled with
recurrence of the aforementioned features. When aspartame was discontinued,
the swelling receded without Prednisone.
"Several months later, the girl was given aspartame chewing gum without the
mother's knowledge. Swelling of her entire body, recurrent enlargement of
the liver and spleen, a dramatic increase of bone marrow histiocytes, and
severe pain in many joints ensued. Total abstinence from aspartame again
affected the disappearance of her symptoms and blood abnormalities within 6
months. At the time of Dr. Roberts last discussion with her mother, the
child had minimal enlargement of the liver, and was receiving Prednisone in
low doses only intermittently.
"The patient had two sets of head x-rays, three CT scans of the brain, two
spinal punctures, four bone marrow studies, two electroencephalogra
heart monitoring studies, two baraium enemas, and a host of other studies.
Her mother estimated the medical costs at $750,000." [Page 476]
Statistics? Says Dr. Betty Martini: "There are millions of victims like this
little girl! Once documented reports like hers were received as field
research by medical professionals. That time has long passed. Today her
near-murder is just an "anecdote", a statistic! What unspeakable torture to
visit upon an innocent child by these heinous mass poisoners: the chemical
sweetener cartel! I've sent thousands of case histories to the FDA and could
as well be talking to the Egyptian pyramid of Cheops. The price of medical
treatment in the
illness from financial destruction. The agony, disablement, death and family
ruination wrought by aspartame wrecks our land with a trail of devastation
exceeding category 5 hurricanes! With incomparably greater cost and pain!"
Dr. Martini, founder of Mission Possible International, a worldwide
volunteer force which for 14 years has exposed chemical sweeteners: "How
shall we count aspartame atrocities? Our FDA once listed them, named 92
symptoms from more than ten thousand volunteered complaints by American
consumers. Their
sexual dysfunction, mental destruction and death. Then FDA shut the report
window and no longer takes and tabulates reports. I've sent them more cases
than they listed, but you can't get the death list now; they deny it
existed. Think of FDA simply as the branch office of the pharmaceutical
industry in
Martini states: "There's a war going on in our schools. A war for their
health, their futures, their lives. It's a covert war, unannounced by the
media, unknown by those to be sacrificed or their guardians. Our schools are
dope houses. Millions or our children are on Ritalin, et al. Aspartame and
toxic MSG is dumped on their lunches. An ever greater list of vaccines is
commanded to contaminate their blood. The chemical cartel is insatiable! And
what the harvest? Is our kids¹ healthier, fitter, better balanced and more
secure than we were generations ago? We don't understand health! Every
normal physical condition has become a malady treatable, not curable, only
by medication, for life. Dr. Gary Null reported on his 6/5/05 interview with
Dr. Peter Rost, Pfizer Marketing VP, who candidly revealed the unbelievable
drug company profits: Retail price of 100 Prozac 20mg tablets is $247.47.
The active ingredient in ALL these is eleven cents! Jesus spoke of those who
devour widows houses. Who could say it better?
"But in some states a minuteman call is going out: Ditch the drugs, void the
vending machines packed with poisoned potions. A school system in
set the pace, reported by the Finegold Association, whose mission includes
generating awareness of the role of foods and additives in student learning,
health and behavior problems. Dr. Martini explained this in a letter to the
Alabama Board of Education <http://www.wnho.
recently met July 12 to decide about pop: "Aspartame has been proven to
destroy brains, trigger psychiatric and behavioral problems, cause eye
disorders (including blindness), addict and trigger brain tumors."
Betty Peters, of the Alabama Board of Education asked for an amendment to
remove all soda pop from
revise the current system and allow diet drinks, this with full knowledge
that diet drinks cause more obesity. The vending machine proposal was gutted
to appease the soft drink industry. But where was the concern for the
children?
Dr. Roberts reviewed the Italian study, concluding: "It's now incumbent upon
researchers of leukemia and lymphoma to inquire about the use of aspartame
products routinely in such patients. And it¹s also highly relevant, the
striking increase of primary brain lymphoma which I reviewed in my books and
articles. You are dealing with a unique lymphoma of the brain. which most
neurologists had not seen before the availability of aspartame. In view of
the unequivocal induction of brain tumors and of leukemia/lymphoma in
experimental animals the intent of the Delaney Amendment should be invoked.
This justifies aspartame as an imminent public health hazard and should be
removed from the market as I've emphasized for two decades."
In the "Journal of Advance in Medicine" Vol 4 #4, winter '91 article
<http://www.dorway.
Cancer" Dr. Roberts said: "The increasing frequency of primary brain
lymphoma of B cell derivation -- including reticulum cell sarcoma,
microglioma and histolytic lymphoma -- also requires explanation because
this subset was previously rare. Eby et al reported a nearly threefold rise
in its incidence among immunologically normal persons in the l982-l984 SEER
data, which they could not explain. Specifically, the rate increased from
2.7 to 7.5 cases per ten million population (p=0.001) in the time periods
l973-l975 and l982-l984, respectively. The age-adjusted rise was more
striking among women which increased from 4.9 per ten million in l979-l981
to 8.9 per ten million in l982-l984.
Again Dr. Roberts tells us "Hockberg and Miller reported a tripling of
incidence of this tumor in non-immunosuppresse
interval between l980 and l984."

How was aspartame ever approved by FDA? For 16 years it was rejected. FDA
even asked the Department of Justice to prosecute the manufacturer, G.D.
Searle Co. for submitting fraudulent test data on aspartame. Two prosecutors
were appointed, but the defense lawyers hired both of them and the case
expired with the statute of limitations. When the Godfather hires the
District Attorney don't expect a conviction. Next Don Rumsfeld, CEO of G D
Searle, returned to
immediately who approved aspartame over the objections of the FDA scientific
board. This new commissioner was under investigation for conflict of
interest when he switched to take $1,000/day consulting job with the public
relations firm that represented NutraSweet. All in the family! The plague
loosed on humanity by this chicanery is also known as Rumsfeld's Disease.
Hear attorney James Turner explain it in this clip from the documentary:
"Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World":
http://www.soundand
The Italian study press release says the results demonstrate for the first
time aspartame is a carcinogenic agent -- "As recognized by the
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health
Organization, results of long-term bioassays conducted on rodents (rats and
mice) are highly predictive of carcinogenic risk for humans. In light of
this fact, the results of the CRC/ERF study on aspartame call for urgent
reconsideration of regulations governing its use as an artificial sweetener
in order to better protect public health, in particular that of children."
This is the most recent of many projects which confirms aspartame's toxicity
beyond controversy. FDA & Searle have always known aspartame is a Class A
Carcinogen. The late FDA toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross, told Congress that
aspartame, beyond a shadow of a doubt can produce brain tumors and brain
cancer, and violates the Delaney Amendment which forbids anything in food
which causes cancer. His last words to Congress: "If the FDA violates its
own laws who is left to protect the public?" Ten thousand tombstones show
that only a concerned citizenry can achieve save itself from all the 92
symptoms FDA once listed.
To children aspartame is murder. It's an abortifacient and teratogen;
causing abortions, birth defects and retardation. If a live child is born
aspartame may have heinously damaged its DNA for generations to come. Our
schools are so inundated with problems that today the norm is "abnormal".
Only eradication of this poison will eliminate aspartame's physical,
behavioral, psychiatric maladies and learning disabilities. Industry's greed
is keeping it schools to addict our children for life. They even got FDA to
approve new deadly chemicals: Splenda and Acesulfame Potassium. See: "The
Lethal Science of Splenda":
