To The Honorable Rep Josh Green, M.D., and Honorable John Mizuno, Vice Chair:

I'm the founder of Mission Possible International, a global non-profit volunteer force with operations in 38 nations warning the world off aspartame marketed as NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, Canderel, E951. I work with the world experts on aspartame who write the medical texts and the many reports you see on the web sites below.

Why is it necessary to have operations all over the world to warn the public against aspartame? Because it's not an additive but a deadly addictive excitoneurotoxic carcinogenic drug that interacts with drugs and vaccines. It's an abortifacient and a teratogen and has damaged a generation of children with autism, ADD, ADHD, and all sorts of behavioral and psychiatric problems. The experts have written articles to explain how it destroys their brains called Report for Schools: http://www.mpwhi.com/report_on_aspartame_and_children.htm There is not even a warning on the label for pregnant women. Some women never get to have families because its also an endocrine disrupting drug, stimulates prolactin and change the menses causing infertility.

According to the prestigious Ecologist aspartame started out as a biochemical warfare weapon, listed with the pentagon and submitted to Congress: http://www.mpwhi.com/ecologist_september_2005.pdf Do you really want this chemical poison in Hawaii? This 17 page cover story has a complete time line.

First of all, it violates adulteration statutes: http://www.rense.com/general67/aspar.htm This was even admitted by the National Soft Drink Assn in their protest which was added to the congressional record of May, 1985. Since you can't ship anything for sell adulterated it violates Interstate Commerce laws.

You should have been given one of the aspartame documentaries: Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World. Here is the clip, James Turner, Atty, explaining how Don Rumsfeld got this on the market through political chicanery after the FDA said no: http://www.soundandfury.tv/pages/rumsfeld.html Here is the actual Board of Inquiry Report of the FDA where they revoked the petition for approval because it couldn't be proven safe: http://www.mpwhi.com/fda_petition1.doc

You're concerned in Hawaii about the growing epidemic of diabetes and obesity and aspartame is the main culprit. It can precipitate diabetes, simulates and aggravates diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy, destroys the optic nerve from the free methyl alcohol, causes diabetics to go into convulsions and even interacts with insulin. Here is an excellent letter written to Senator Ortiz y Pino in New Mexico on the subject by a physician in Hawaii, Dr. James Bowen, who is not only diabetic but has Lou Gehrigs from aspartame. Twenty years ago he told the FDA it was mass poisoning of the American public and over 70 countries of the world: http://www.wnho.net/letter_to_senator_goyp_concerning_aspartame.htm

Diabetic specialist, H. J. Roberts, M.D., wrote the medical text, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, http://www.sunsentpress.com 1000 pages of diseases and horrors triggered by this poison. He not only has a chapter on diabetes but also obesity. Aspartame makes you crave carbohydrates so you gain weight. We call it "low cal weight gain". To make matters worse the formaldehyde converted from the free methyl alcohol embalms living tissue and damages DNA. As you know when you damage DNA you can destroy humanity. Here is the Trocho Study which shows most toxicity is in the liver but also substantial amounts it in the brain, kidneys, retina and adipose tissue or fat cells. http://www.mpwhi.com/formaldehyde_from_aspartame.pdf There is a page in Dr. Roberts medical text on pre-embalming. When I was in Barcelona I spoke with Dr. Alemany who said, "Betty, aspartame is going to kill 200 million people." I said, "Dr. Alemany, it has already killed 200 million people." Many of the diseases it triggers are fatal, and it's an abortifacient, and multipotential carcinogen. Even in original studies it triggered brain, mammary, uterine, ovarian, testicular, pancreatic and thyroid tumors for starters.

In the 2004 Diabetes Report from the Hawaii Department of Health it states approximately 100,000 people in Hawaii have diabetes and more than 900 die every year of related complications. It' the seventh leading cause of death. This report calls it a common and costly disease. It doesn't have to be. The American Diabetes Assn pushes NutraSweet on diabetics. In fact in 2004 Rico charges were filed against them. Even though they got out of it they continue to push it because they receive money from the manufacturers and industry. Dr. Roberts was a member of the ADA for 35 years and wrote them constantly. They even refused to publish his abstract of diabetic aspartame reactors and it was published in Clinical Research. Aspartame is triggering the complications that is causing diabetics to die. Some think diabetics go blind because they are diabetic. The reason so many are going blind is the free methyl alcohol converts to formaldehyde and formic acid even in the retina of the eye and destroys the optic nerve. It causes everything from retinal detachments and optic neuritis to macular degeneration and blindness. The late Dr. Morgan Raiford, ophthalmologist and specialist in methanol toxicity, said that if we could warn people in time and vision is in the wet stage their vision can return. Indeed, we've had several who were legally blind have their vision restored because we got to them in time. Stop this plague in Hawaii by simply banning aspartame.

Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D., said in his definitive medical text, "Health & Nutrition Secrets To Save Your Life", http://www.russellblaylockmd.com, page 125: "So in the case of diet drinks in aluminum cans, the very toxic brain aluminum fluoride compound co-exists with multiple toxins found in aspartame, thus creating the most powerful government approved toxic soup imaginable. With the strong association between aluminum, excitotoxins, aluminum fluoride complexes and Alzheimer's disease, it would be completely irresponsible to encourage people to consume this toxic mixture." The aspartic acid in aspartame is an excitotoxin or product that literally stimulates the neurons of the brain to death causing brain damage of varying degrees. "Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills" by Dr. Blaylock. You might be interested to know how aspartame is made. It's genetically engineered in E.coli bacteria. Dr. Bill Deagle has seen the vats of toxic sludge and says it's pressed into a white powder. Here is what he wrote to me:

Paragraph on Genetically Engineered Aspartame producing bacterial technology in Aiken, S.C.:

"Most people when asked how Aspartame is made do not have the first step of understanding. While an E.R. doctor and primary care physician in Augusta, GA in 1987 and 1988, I was told a number of interesting facts about the adjacent Aspartame factory. Bacteria with genes inserted generate a sludge which is centrifuged to remove the aspartame and many hundreds of contaminant organic and amino acids are present. We were told not to report illness or worker's compensation issues for fear of being fired by the hospital, now the Augusta Regional Medical Center. Many of their employees presented with psychiatric, neuropathy conditions, chronic fatigue and organic cases of loss of cognitive function. This powder from the dried sludge was then transported for packaging in factories elsewhere in the US, before sale as Equal and now the myriad of names of this neurotoxin." Bill Deagle, M.D., 888-212-8871

A new study just recently linked diet cola to heart disease and diabetes: http://www.rense.com/general80/meat.htm Notice below the article I've listed the URL's of articles by the experts on how aspartame triggers cardiac problems and also sudden death, one of the reasons so many athletes are dropping dead. Last summer there was another one in Boston which also showed these findings. Sharon Fowler at the University of Texas did an epidemiological study on 8 years of data linking diet soda to diabetes.

Dr. James Bowen points out that "aspartame is a known destroyer of DNA. The mitocondrial DNA (MtDNA) is especially damaged, yielding the present epidemic of diseases aspartame consuming mothers pass on to figure generations. Aspartame also directly damages the mitochondria, thus having a "double whammy" effect on mitochondrial function! The summation of these many known severe toxicities and its immune, genetic, mitochondrial, and metabolic damages, show that aspartame will not only cause many diseases, which the FDA and CDC have already noted but it has pathways of approach to interact adversely with every conceivable pharmaceutical."

So of what use is aspartame? It kills rats as discussed in the FDA audit: http://www.dorway.com/bressler.txt This report really gives the manufacturer indigestion. Further Jerome Bressler told me that the studies were so bad they left out to mice studies, 20% of the worst. http://www.mpwhi.com/fda_gate.htm Even twelve toxicologists have asked for a ban: http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_letter_to_fda.pdf It is also very effective in killing fire ants. Dr. Soffritti wrote in the Ramazzini study even the rats hair turned yellow from the formaldehyde. I told the manufacturer all they have to do is change the label and make it a rat poison. It should have a label to keep out of reach of humans.

For Aspartame in Brief: http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_in_brief.htm

Let Hawaii show the planet they can get rid of this poison that as Dr. Bowen told the FDA is mass poisoning of the world. Mission Possible International is dedicated to the proposition that disability and death are not acceptable costs of business.
