THE TASK FORCE FURTHER SAYS, "SOME OF OUR FINDINGS SUGGEST AN ATTITUDE OF DISREGARD FOR FDA'S MISSION OF PROTECTION OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH BY SELECTIVELY REPORTING THE RESULTS OF STUDIES IN A MANNER WHICH ALLAYS THE CONCERNS OF QUESTIONS OF AN FDA REVIEWER." REFERENCE: FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION SEARLE INVESTIGATION TASK FORCE CHAIRED BY CARLTON SHARP. "FINAL REPORT OF INVESTIGATION OF G. D. SEARLE COMPANY" (MARCH 24, 1976).
_____________________________

Whereas, the results of this investigation are included in what is called The Bressler Report by Jerome Bressler; and Whereas, in 1980, Dr. John Olney submitted scientific data to a United States Food and Drug Administration Public Board of Inquiry showing that aspartic acid, the excitotoxic ingredient in aspartame, caused holes in the brains of mice; and

__________________________________________

Whereas, Dr. John Olney stated that it warranted special emphasis that excitotoxins act by an acute but silent mechanism, requiring only a single exposure for CVO neurons to be quietly destroyed, that clearly Searle failed to establish the safety of their product, aspartame, for use in children's food, and that all age comparative data support the following conclusions:
(1) orally administered excitotoxins destroy CVO neurons at any age; (2) immature animals are most vulnerable; and (3) the toxic threshold increases only gradually between birth and adulthood; and

_________________________________________

Whereas, in 1980, the Public Board of Inquiry unanimously voted against aspartame approval, but was overruled by a new United States Food and Drug Administration Commissioner, Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes, against the advice of Food and Drug Administration scientific personnel and advisers; and Whereas, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved aspartame use in sodas, despite the fact that the National Soft Drink Association argued
vehemently against aspartame in these quotes from their protest:

(1) 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.S. 342 (a)(3), which provides that a food is adulterated if it contains, in whole or in part, a decomposed substance or it is otherwise unfit for food); (2) An important decomposition
product of aspartame, aspartic acid,cannot be detected at all using TLC; (3)G.D. Searle and Company has not demonstrated to a reasonable certainty that the use of aspartame in soft drinks, without quantitative limitations, will not adversely affect human health as a result of the changes such use is likely to cause in brain chemistry and under certain reasonably anticipated conditions of use; and (4) Specifically, Searle has not met its burdens under section 409. To demonstrate that aspartame is safe and functional for use in soft drinks. Collectively, the extensive deficiencies in the stability studies conducted by Searle to demonstrate that aspartame and its degradation products are safe in soft drinks intended to be sold in the United States, render those studies inadequate and unreliable. Senate Congressional Record, May 7, 1985, S5507-5511: and
