Since we have all the evidence anyone could want, you realize this will be a fight between the facts and aspartame industry power. Below is
information on the situation. While lengthy we need to cover the globe to get participation to make the facts win out. We are fighting for our lives as they put more and more aspartame products on the market and in many instances even unlabeled which is against the law. It requires a PKU warning for phenylketonurics who can't metabolize phenylalanine. Advantame has now been approved. Neotame is now in pork without labeling.
Comment Period - Prioritization 2016: Chemicals for Consultation by the Carcinogen Identification Committee
(Periodically, the aspartame cyber hacks disappear this site, so it may or may not be available)
The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) announces the beginning of a 45-day public comment period on the five chemicals or chemical groups listed below. These chemicals will be discussed at the November 15, 2016 meeting of the Proposition 65 Carcinogen Identification Committee (CIC).
The CIC is the states qualified experts on carcinogenicity for purposes of the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65). The CIC will provide the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) with advice on the prioritization of these chemicals for possible preparation of hazard identification materials. At a later date, OEHHA will select chemicals for preparation of hazard identification materials and announce those decisions in a separate notice. No listing decisions will be made for these chemicals at the November 15 meeting.
OEHHA is the lead agency for the implementation of Proposition 65. The evidence of hazard used in this current round of prioritization is an epidemiologic data screen and an animal data screen. Chemicals or chemical groups passing either data screen were then subjected to a preliminary toxicological evaluation. This screening follows the
procedure described in the 2004 OEHHA document, Process for Prioritizing Chemicals for Consideration under Proposition 65 by the States Qualified Experts.
The five chemicals or chemical groups are:
Aspartame
Asphalt and Asphalt Emissions Associated with Road Paving and Asphalt and Asphalt Emissions Associated with Roofing
Methyl Chloride
Type I Pyrethroids
Vinyl Acetate
