Dear Donna,

This type of study is being performed on the consumer public everyday. It's absolutely ludicrous. In fact, I was just talking to Dr. H. J. Roberts and he took the words right out of my mouth. First of all its a one day study. Reminds me of the Rowan Study. So many people are having seizures on aspartame Monsanto decided to do a study and show aspartame didn't cause seizures. The problem was they were afraid the study would show seizures. So what to do? First they gave 16 of the 18 subjects anti-seizure medication without telling anyone. Then they used only one capsule of aspartame. Typical Monsanto study. It was tantamount to smelling the bottle, and with Monsanto's influence they actually got this study peer reviewed.

I was just on a Florida radio show and someone called in who had worked for Monsanto, and then later called me at home. He said on the air Monsanto was actually putting aspartame in products unlabeled. He said also since aspartame is a poison and they couldn't get it to show safety they simply negotiated the result of the studies to whoever was willing to sell out. Of course, we've known that for years. I have a friend whose ex-husband worked for Monsanto and the day he went to work he was told, "Do not buy aspartame, do not let it in your house, do not eat or consume aspartame, it's poison." To show you Monsanto's close relationship with our FDA he was actually sent there for a couple of months. He asked the FDA since Monsanto themselves said it was poison why didn't they do something about it. He was told, "We approved it, so there is nothing we can do." He was then sent to work awhile with Searle, the original manufacturer and after seeing them negotiate research to show safety he quit in disgust.

I have heard Dr. H. J. Roberts many times say that patients go from doctor to doctor, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, for needless diagnostic studies and surgery when nothing will help until they get off the toxin. However, victims have for years asked what studies would prove aspartame. Dr. Roberts told me once "only if they were on it at the time and a pathologist did a test showing the aspartic acid and phenylalanine elevated." The methanol will have already converted to formaldehyde. http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/abuse/methanol.html#hiding In fact, Doctor's Data in Chicago at one time could do a study of the urine but stopped doing it for some reason. They said they didn't know why all of a sudden they couldn't do the test.

In the Charles Fleming case, Dr. James Bowen, wrote: "Only after longer aspartame usage does liver damage cause blood methanol levels to measurably rise because the liver mitochondria are so damaged that the liver no longer quickly processes either methyl or ethyl (drink) alcohol. Then the acute methanol poisoning is directly measurable from lab results, as the blood methanol level elevates. This entire sequence or "toxic axis" begins with your very first dose of aspartame. Both acute and chronic poisonings from this methanol toxic axis, and other additive and synergistic aspartame poisonings, steadily accumulate in the aspartame consumer.

"When you consume aspartame, you initiate the methanol toxic axis! In my case I lost my balance, following which, on my second day, I developed toxic cardiomyopathy, with resultant congestive heart failure, resulting in pulmonary edema. Then I who had been until that moment been a two mile per day swimmer, could not even climb a set of stairs, without stopping in the middle to get my wind back." (Dr. Bowen)

In the Fleming case, of course, it interacted with the creatine which no doubt caused his death. http://www.communicationagents.com/sepp/2003/09/26/dropping_like_flies_poisoned_by_aspartame.htm The autopsy had shown the chronic methanol poisoning from aspartame going on for years.

If an aspartame victim gets off the toxin and then later gets it unsuspectingly, it can cause serious reactions from the polychemical sensitivity syndrome. Think of Cheryl Kemptner in the aspartame documentary, Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6551291488524526735# Note when given a glass of Crystal Lite with aspartame she became a Code Blue and had to be resuscitated to save her life. This is why we cautioned you on using aspartame victims who had gotten off aspartame. Some victims have to carry an epipen so they don't go into anaphylactic shock. One man was given a cookie baked with aspartame a year after he had gotten off the poison. He suffered tachycardia , fast heart beat to such an extent they had to stop his heart to save his life. We now live in a chemical hypersensitive world in my opinion as former aspartame victims report what they think is an allergy to all sorts of food, especially genetically engineered. Dr. Russell Blaylock, author of Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills, said in a lecture: "Understand the reactions toaspartame are not allergic but toxic like arsenic and cyanide."

You say about the Halldorsson study, that it does not suggest that aspartame is having adverse effects on reproductive outcome. Let me help you from the beginning. Here is Dr. John Olney's 49 page report to the FDA Board of Inquiry. http://www.wnho.net/dr_olney1.doc You will note that he says birth defects are a given. Dr. Olney is world renowned and founded the field of science called excitotoxicity. Here is his CV: http://dorway.com/dorwblog/doctors-speak-out/who-is-dr-olney He is still researching to this day but this CV is enough to show you the extent of his knowledge and how renowned he is. He also explains this is compounded with MSG, another excitotoxin. You can understand why he tried to prevent approval. The FDA agreed with him. They said aspartame would never be used for children. Famous last words. As you know, even in your own UK regulations you don't allow aspartame or artificially sweetened products for children under 3, I believe we went over this before.

The teratology studies by G. D. Searle were so bad, the FDA put them under seal for 30 years. We recently returned them to the Bressler Report: http://www.mpwhi.com/fda_hid_research_that_damned_aspartame.htm These would have been enough to keep aspartame from being marketed.

When aspartame was approved through the political chicanery of Don Rumsfeld women started losing babies or having babies with birth defects, the alarm was heard. Here is Dr. Bowen's report, Aspartame Murders Infants: http://www.rense.com/general/asp.htm You note Dr. Bowen said aspartame violates the Federal Genocide law. Indeed, women have reported to Mission Possible Intl the loss of as many as 8 babies. You would expect premature births. Fetal tissue doesn't tolerate methanol. Read Dr. Elsas' report. He worked over 25 years at Emory University, pediatric professor, genetics. http://www.mpwhi.com/louis_elsas_testifying_to_congress.htm This is his testimony to Congress that aspartame is a teratogen and causes birth defects and mental retardation.

So when you come out with a statement about reproductive outcome your comments fly in the face of world experts like Olney and Elsas and others. I sent you Dr. John Harrison's chart showing autism going straight up since aspartame approval. You're just closing your eyes to all the facts while your statements obviously coming from industry are meaningless.

It seems to me that every study that comes out by independent researchers Food Standards and EFSA find an excuse in an effort to protect aspartame for industry, even though almost 100 per cent of independent studies has proven aspartame is deadly. Since the manufacturer was unable to get it to prove safety without fraud in the original studies when the FDA tried to have them indicted, and we've sent you information on flawed studies since, why would anyone believe any study by industry on this poison really shows safety. Obviously, you can only believe independent studies and these are the ones you rebut. Food Standards was created to keep separate from industry and its obvious you're still using their propaganda. Aspartame can never be proven safe. If you deny this poison is a teratogen that causes birth defects and mental retardation as Olney and Elsas have proven you're going against the very best in this field. Dr. Elsas did studies at Emory University.

Corinne Gouget, Mission Possible France, just called and was telling me about a mother who used aspartame gum through 4 pregnancies and all four children are affected, one with a brain tumor. That's what you would expect. Case after case on aspartame. It's only when she gets them off this poison do they get better. I still would like to know what happened to all the babies born in the Danish Study. Somebody needs to do this study.

I would be interested in what candy bar you are using. Here in America I don't trust them. I called Mars and asked if aspartame was in any of their products and they said "the Mars bars". Since aspartame was not on the label I asked where I found it and they said "under natural flavors". Likewise Hershey's has Vanillin which usually has aspartame in it.

I feel like I'm constantly repeating myself, Donna, but there is no way to say "well maybe the autism was caused by this or that", anything but aspartame. You just don't get it. We're talking about a poison, one that Food Standard's web site says is safe. You know that is not true, just from independent studies, so when the public reads that and uses this toxin Food Standard is also responsible.

Dear Dr Martini

Thank you for your email dated 16 August.

The University of Hull is undertaking the pilot study on behalf of the FSA. As this is a double-blind placebo study, neither the participant nor the researcher will know if the bar contains aspartame or not. In monitoring participants, this will involve the completion of general health and well-being questionnaires, as well as the participants providing blood and urine samples. The samples will be analysed to determine the effect of aspartame consumption on plasma and urinary metabolite profile.

Our interpretation of the Halldorsson study is that it does not specifically demonstrate a link between aspartame and an increased risk of pre-term delivery, since there are flaws in the design of the study that mean it is not possible to draw any conclusions from it. In general, regulatory decisions are made in the context of the database as a whole, so even if we were to accept the conclusions drawn in the study it would still need to be reviewed in the context of the overall database which, as it stands, does not suggest that aspartame is having adverse effects on reproductive outcome.

As regards the suggested correlation between aspartame and autism, no conclusions can be drawn from this data. There may be comparable time trends but these can be co-incidental, and therefore mechanistic, epidemiological or other plausible evidence is necessary to demonstrate such a link exists.

It is worth noting that time trends for any medical condition have to be interpreted with caution since changes in awareness, diagnosis etc may result in apparent changes in reported incidence.

I hope this information is helpful.

Best wishes

Dear Donna,

I see that Hull University is doing a study for one day having 75 people eating a candy bar with aspartame and 75 people having a placebo bar. Hard to believe you're doing a study with one candy bar for one day. Why not just smell the wrapper.

As you know, the Danish study showed aspartame jumps premature births up to 78%. I was horrified that anyone would intentionally have pregnant women use aspartame since its a well known abortifacient and teratogen, causing birth defects and mental retardation. But the damage has been done. Why not go back to those 60,000 women and find out how many of their babies are autistic or have birth defects. As Dr. Blaylock says in Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills, even if the baby survives you can begin to some of the problems at puberty like dyslexia and behavioral problems. This would be a real study. In this study they couldn't be hurt further because no one is giving them aspartame. Also, remember that aspartame is highly addictive so the study could have caused great addiction to the mothers. If they nursed their baby the baby could continue to get aspartame through breast milk as Dr. H. J. Roberts (Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic) explains in an article in our Report For Schools: http://www.mpwhi.com/report_on_aspartame_and_children.htm

Here's a golden opportunity to report to the world what aspartame has done to their children, and nobody has to take any more aspartame or be harmed. It's just a matter of sending all these women a form to complete asking about the health of their babies. Also, the mother's have to be identified, as to which ones used aspartame and which ones weren't. This would probably take aspartame off the market. Look at the autism chart starting when aspartame was approved. http://www.mpwhi.com/autism_chart.htm Dr. Harrison who has a nephew with autism is very concerned. His sister used aspartame during pregnancy.

Here's an opportunity to get out the real facts.

All my best,
