Psychiatrist Ralph Walton informed me that aspartame is in almost all gum. When I asked the "Just Like Sugar" people if they could make gum without aspartame, they said they had to build a special machine.

FDA also knows that aspartame is a drug and not an additive. Dr. John W. Olney warned the manufacturer that oral intake of glutamate, aspartate and cysteine, the excitotoxic amino acids found in aspartame, cause brain damage in mice. It also caused holes in the brains of mice. His findings were confirmed by another researcher, Ann Reynolds, who was hired by G. D. Searle. (Claiming an oversight, G. D. Searle did not inform the FDA of this study until after the approval of aspartame. See documentary: "Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World" .youtube.com/watch?v=BT1IxXoKocw )

Next you say aspartame was approved for carbonated beverages in 1983. You left out some information - how FDA violated the law to do it. Consider the fact in 1983, the FDA disregarded Section 170.22 of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (which would have limited the safe daily intake of diet drinks to only 2 cans per day) and they raised the acceptable maximum daily intake of aspartame to 50 mg/kg/day (maximum milligram of a toxic substance per kilogram of body weight per day), which translates to an allowable intake level of 17 cans of diet drink for a 150 pound person,. se.com/general96/the-truth-about-diet-coke.php

Next you admit you can't heat aspartame: "It is not heat stable and loses its sweetness when heated, so it typically isn't used in baked goods." My question is why didn't you mention that in 1993 when you approved aspartame for baked goods?! I'm sure this will end up being one of those questions you refuse to answer.

How do you answer questions from victims on why they are suffering from a burning tongue? Let Dr. James Bowen (who has ALS from aspartame consumption) explain it to your further:

"The intact NutraSweet/aspartame molecule, to which the tongue and its very sensitive neural structures are uniquely exposed, is by far the most potent toxin in the whole picture. The protective mechanism in the tongue elicits burning from the sweet taste buds on the front of the tongue in response to continue or over-whelming exposure by noxious toxins. The phenomenon of the bleed over or shorting out through the damaged myelin sheath with neuropathies in general and methanol alcohol poisoning in specific, is well known to medical science to cause normal sensations to be turned into pain sensations. The very structure of the tongue puts tremendous pressure and shearing forces on the nerves that are involved in it, thereby producing neuropathic pain from sick nerves. The burning sensation in response to autoimmune inflammation and allergy is a common experience and is well known to anyone with allergic sore throat. The nerves subserving the tongue are cranial nerves not spinal nerves. Therefore, they are not protected the same way spinal nerves are. They exit the skull through small holes called foramina. Bell's Palsy and trigeminal neuralgia are examples well known to medical science wherein cranial nerves when swollen cause these types of problems when for any reason they are impinged in the foramina."

Many victims of Aspartame Disease report "burning tongue" even after several months off the toxin aspartame. Dr. Bowen explained the burning sensation is common to neuropathies during the recovery period.

The bigger picture on the breakdown was exposed with the Trocho study showing the formaldehyde converted from the free methyl alcohol embalms living tissue and damages DNA. In Dr. Woodrow Monte's medical text, "While Science Sleeps: A Sweetener Kills" www.whilesciencesleeps.com he explains how the formaldehyde turns the tissues to plastic. So you have formaldehyde being released in the cells and formaldehyde is a Class A carcinogen. I gave the FDA a copy of the 1000 page medical text, "Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic" by Dr. H. J. Roberts. You will find this information under "pre-embalming" on page 675.

While I'm discussing how many laws have been violated by FDA in the aspartame case see page 673. USDA#13 published in 1908, reported that formaldehyde is poisonous even in small amounts and should be prohibited for use in food. The Trocho Study is discussed on page 674 under "Mechanisms of Toxicity." FDA's own Dr. Joseph Thomas said there were no "mechanisms" in the medical text, but then the FDA is so well known for not telling the truth.

Aspartame also violates the law because it is adulterated, and even the National Soft Drink Assn in their protest discussed this aspect of the regulatory errors: "The present record does not contain data which demonstrate that the use of APM in soft drinks will not result in the adulteration of the beverages under section 402 (a)(3) of the FDC Act. 21 U.S.C. 342 (a) (3), which provides that a food is adulterated if it contains, in whole or in part, "...a decomposed substance or if it is otherwise unfit for food." Indeed, the present record strongly suggests that the rapid degradation of APM in soft drinks and the consequent loss of sweetness may well result, under certain actual time and temperature conditions, in products which would be adulterated under section 402. Without data which demonstrate that APM-sweetened beverages will not be adulterated under section 402 (a)(3). Searle has not met its burden of proof under section 409 (c) (3) (B) of the FDC Act. 21 U.S.C. 348 (c) (3) (B). "

The NSDA also used Dr. Richard Wurtman's affidavit on how aspartame makes you crave carbohydrates so you have a product labeled "diet" that actually makes you gain weight.

The NSDA changed their name to American Beverage, but they can't hide the facts they knew aspartame violated the law and was dangerous and could harm the public. Here is the rest of their protest: se.com/general96/pepsi.htm

With all this evidence and the report in the congressional record they turned around and lobbied for NutraSweet. I wondered whether G. D. Searle told them how addictive aspartame is so they would have bottomless checkbooks. They surely weren't concerned about the health of the public.

According to Interstate Commerce laws you cannot ship an adulterated product for sale. So aspartame violates adulteration laws and interstate commerce. Aspartame travels by hazardous material placards.
