ARE YOU SLOWLY KILLING YOURSELF?

Well maybe not knowingly. In 1985 the FDA made the biggest
blunder in their history to date. With the help of then
President Ronald Regan and the now retired Secretary of
Defense Donald Rumsfeld, they declared ASPARTAME safe
for use in foods and beverages. Since this time the food
industries have used it quite heavily in Diet Sodas, Most
Energy Drinks, check your Red Bull, and Monster, as well
as other sugar free drinks and many other foods.

Do you even know what ASPARTAME is? Well don't feel bad
I had to look it up too. It is actually a crystaine low sugar
sweetener (N4 H7 NO4)that is between 180 to 200 times more
potent than sugar. It is a protein rather than a carbohydrate
and is formed from the amino acids phenylalanine and aspartic
acid. You know it by the names: Equal, Nutra Sweet, Sweet and
Low and Equal-Measure y Spoonful. All of these are brand names
for ASPARTAME. It is also known as E951 in the codes.

The only truly good sweetener currently known is STEVIA.
It is derived from a leaf from a plant in Brazil and is used in
the energy drink A.C.T. manufactured by M2C Global of
Dallas, Texas. (see drinkact.com/easyliving) I guess we know
why they call A.C.T. the worlds first "HEALTHY" energy drink.
STEVIA can be purchased by itself in the Health and Wellness
shops across the country.

Recently, ASPARTAME is banned by the Phillipine government.
What does the Phillippine government know that we don't know
in the U.S.A.?

Based on scientific documentation they know that aspartame
can trigger seizures, and that it interacts with all drugs and
vaccines to give a changed effect. It has also been known to
cause autism and other birth defects in children born to
mothers who have been taking the substance. You can see
a complete listing of 92 symptoms on www.dorway.com.

Aspartame breaks down in the body into a couple of
substances. The spelling for the first is as long as your arm
(diketopiperazine). This is an agent that triggers brain tumors,
and psychiatric and behavioral problems. Another break down
substance of aspartame is (methanol) which converts to
formaldehyde ( Yep, same stuff they embalm you with) and
formic acid which have a tendency to destroy the optic nerves
as well as cause seizures.

The Trocho Study in Barcelona Spain showed that
formaldehyde converted from the free methyl alcohol
embalms living tissue and damages DNA. There is great
toxicity in the liver and substantial amounts in the kidneys,
brain and in the adipose tissue or fat cells as we call them.

The Phillippine government also knows that joint pain,
memory loss and headaches have also been attributed
to aspartame.

You can find all kinds of documentation or proof if you're
willing to look a bit but I will give you one easy one.

There was a lady by the name of Cori Brackett who with
her husband produced "Sweet Misery: A Poisioned World".
She had been diagnosed with MS and 8 months after being
off of aspartame completely, the large brain leisions
causing this illness were completely gone as was the MS.

We have been told that these sweetners will keep you from
gaining weight. In fact they cause weight gain because they
induce carbohydrate cravings. As if all this wasn't enough
aspartame also damages the mitochondria DNA. It will
then interact with the drugs, vaccines and insulin that many
diabetics use. Most diabetics do not even know better because
they are deceived by the American Diabetes Assn. and other
professional organizations funded by the manufacturers of
this product and also our own FDA and front groups. Some
diabetics get over their disease by simply getting off aspartame.
Many others victimized by aspartame are experiencing limb
amputations.

When aspartame is in its diketopiperazine (DKP) form, it is
found to be the number one brain tumor carcinogen known
to man.

In the documentary,"Sweet Misery, A Poisoned World",you
will see Diane Fleming in a Virginia prison. She was
imprisoned for poisoning her husband, a diet soda addict,
the autopsy revealed methanol poisoning. She actually never
went to trial and was exonerated after a lie detector report
showed she was being truthful and did not kill her husband.
It seems methanol is classified as a narcotic and its liberation
by aspartame causes chronic methanol poisoning and was in
fact the reason for the husbands death. The methanol also
affects the dopamine system of the brain causing addiction.
They're making addicts of our children.

Up until May of 1985 no FDA Commissioner would vote to
allow aspartame to be used. It was in fact approved by a
Presidential Order. President Reagan knew it would take
30 days to get the new FDA commissioner Arthur Hayes
to the FDA, so he wrote an executive order making the
outgoing FDA commissioner powerless to oppose
aspartame. You can find all of this in the Senate
records page S5497 of 7 May 1985.

Donald Rumsfeld, the recently retired Secretary of Defense
was then CEO of Searle Corporation (the main manufacturer
of aspartame) and said he would call in his markers and get
aspartame approved. To Rumsfeld the fact that the FDA said
"no" meant only that he would have to use politics instead of
science to get this neurotoxin approved, knowing full well it
would poison the public, causing in humans the injuries seen
in lab animals, brain tumors and seizures. He was on Reagans
transition team and the day after Reagan took office Arthur
Hayes was appointed to approve this toxin, since no former
FDA Commissioner had been willing to do so. Dr Hayes would
not accept the findings of the board of Inquiries that rules
aspartame should be withheld until the questions have
been resolved.

You can view his report overturning previous rulings of the
FDA board in Congressional Record Senate, S5497 of 7 May
1985. Hayes decision was to approve aspartame for dry foods
such as cereals in 1991 and soft drinks in 1993. When Hayes
finished his job to get a nurotoxic drug on the market he hired
on with the public relations firm, Burston Marsteller, who
represented Nutra Sweet, for $1000.00 per day as a consultant.
Hayes has refused to talk to the press ever since.

After all of this political manuvering to get aspartame
approved the FDA has never been the same. In his book
"The Truth About The Drug Companies", Dr. John Hoey
says the pharmaceutical industry's U.S. trade association
has the largest lobby in Washington which in 2002 employed
675 lobbyists (including 26 former members of congress) at a
cost of more than $91 million dollars. Their latest victory:
Stopping Medicare from using its huge purchasing powers
to get lower prices for drugs.

You may want to start checking your food labels now. Check
the food labels of the food in your pantry right now. Also
check for ingredient that's contain the words hydrolyzed or
autolyzed. If you spot any of these, you have excitotoxins**
in your food!!

Where you can find these things:

Diet Sodas
Sugar Free drinks and sweets
Canned Soups
Frozen Pizza
Vegetarian foods, including veggie burgers
Snack chips
Diabetic foods
Salad Dressing
Brekfast sausage
Beef Jerky and chicken strips
Frozen foods
Instant dinner mixes
Baby food
Ranch flavored dips and sauces
Gravy mixes and dip mixes
Bullion cubes and flavor packets

These excitotoxin ingredients are known to cause:

Migraines
Seizures
Neurological disorders
Blurred Vision
Increased appetite/overeating
Infertility and reproductive disorders
Impaired brain function
Cancer/ Brain Tumors
Heart Damage and cardiovascular Harm


** EXCITOTOXINS - the food companies add chemicals to
their products that stimulate hunger and disrupt normal
appetite control. It's a clever (but downright devious)
strategy for selling more foods and boosting the profits of
food corporations. But the truth about these chemicals--
known as excitotoxins - - is never explained to consumers.
The food companies don't want you to know that these
chemicals cause obesity, infertility, migrains, and cancer,
as well as many other health problems.

The startling truth about these taste enhancing chemicals:
Monosodium glutamate, Aspartame, Yeast extract, Hydrolyzed
vegetable protein, Autolyzed proteins and more can be found
in the book "The Truth About ASPARTAME, MSG AND
EXCITOTOXINS"

Isn't it about time you started checking what is in that food you
and your family are eating?? Maybe all those illnesses are
really explainable after all.
