 Most likely, it's the formaldehyde breakdown product.
What the Italian study found is that if you take these same animals and expose them to formaldehyde in the same doses, they developed the same leukemias and lymphomas. If you look back at the Troker Study conducted in Spain a couple of years ago, what they found was when they radiolabeled the aspartame, they could actually see formaldehyde binding to the DNA, and it produced both single and double strand DNA breakage.
We know that when formaldehyde binds to DNA, it's very difficult to remove it. |

 The company discovered levels of formaldehyde far in excess of permissible levels in either Europe or Japan, China's largest two markets for wood products after the U.S. The wood contained 3.0 parts per million of formaldehyde —thirty times the acceptable European levels of 0.1 parts per million. The Chinese wood industry, according to Michael Wolfe, a partner in the consulting firm, Hooper-Wolfe, which specializes in sustainable manufacturing, "has the capacity to produce high-end products without formaldehyde, like those demanded by Europe and Japan, and very low-end products that contain it. |

 For example, avoid polyester and polyester-blend percale sheets, which are coated with formaldehyde to resist wrinkling. The formaldehyde gives off gases for the life of the sheets. In people with formaldehyde sensitivity, the gases can cause coughing, throat and eye irritation, headaches, nausea, nosebleeds, and, insidiously, insomnia. Look instead for high-density, combed-cotton percale sheets, without a "no-iron" or "easy-care" designation. |

 Methanol is a wood alcohol that breaks down chemically into formic acid and formaldehyde," Dr. Hull explains. And neurosurgeon Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., who has spent a decade studying the effects of both aspartame and MSG, says that the formaldehyde makes aspartame "a dangerous neurotoxin which can damage the nervous system, and it is a significant carcinogen for many organs."

 Formaldehyde and other fumes can
Presumed Innocent be released from compressed fiberboard furniture and synthetic carpets. Irritating leaks can issue from disinfectants and compounds intended to make our workplaces cleaner. Many of these agents are known to cause cancer in animals. Some, like formaldehyde, are proven to cause cancer in humans. In their daily use of these compounds, even at low doses, those working to keep the facilities free of infection were coming down with severe and sometimes disabling symptoms, placing themselves at risk of cancer and other chronic ailments years later. |

 Some companies are also producing polish that is free of two chemicals that are equally troubling to environmental public health groups: formaldehyde, a preservative, and toluene, a solvent that helps polish to flow more evenly. Nevertheless, the majority of nail products still contain phthalates, formaldehyde, and toluene.
One concern with nail polish is that it is often used by even very young girls, and "play" polishes for children abound. To date, Procter & Gamble, Estee Lauder, and several others have eliminated phthalates from their nail polish. |

 At higher than 86 degrees Fahrenheit, the methanol (wood alcohol) in aspartame converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid. Both formaldehyde and formic acid are potent carcinogens. In fact, formaldehyde is categorized in the same class of deadly poisons as cyanide and arsenic. On the other hand, when methanol occurs naturally, as it does in fruits, it is always in the presence of ethanol. Ethanol keeps methanol stable and prevents it from breaking down into formaldehyde and formic acid. But the methanol in aspartame is "free" methanol, and thus unstable. |

 The bad thing about formaldehyde in a building is that it is very slow to dissipate. Its half-life may be 6, 7 or even 10 years. It takes this long before it is dissipated to the point at which the building is safe to live in. formaldehyde is also used in fabrics and is found in many of the clothes we wear.
"Organic solvents are present in hundreds, if not thousands, of products. They are found in perfumes made from synthetic musks, for instance, and in caulking, paint, varnishes and cleaning solutions, which are often very toxic. |

 This is partly because aspartame can chemically break down into trace amounts of formaldehyde, and formaldehyde is an extremely toxic nerve poison. Drinking aspartame is sort of like poisoning your brain with chemical preservatives. That's great if you're trying to embalm yourself, but not so good if you actually plan to use your brain for anything useful.
Things that enhance the power of your intention

 Aspartame is an excitotoxin, that is, a neurotoxic chemical, and it breaks down in your body into both formic acid and formaldehyde. Now, would you like to go out and drink some formaldehyde? Well, you might do that if you were a biological specimen that needed to be preserved for dissection, but if you're a normal, healthy, sane human being, you'd never drink formaldehyde. |

 Some ingredients that may be found in vaccines are:20
Phenol (carbolic acid), distilled from coal or coal tar. formaldehyde, a known cancer causing agent, which is commonly used to embalm corpses. þMercury (thimerosal), a toxic heavy metal and a neurological poison, which accumulates in the brain.
Alum, a preservative.
Aluminum phosphate, a toxin used in deodorants. Aluminum is a neurological poison that accumulates in the brain. þAcetone, a solvent used in fingernail polish remover; very volatile, passes easily through the placenta. |

 Gentamicin, a broad spectrum antibiotic, is added to each embryonated chicken egg to inhibit the growth of bacteria (vaccine is grown in chicken eggs).
• formaldehyde (carcinogenic), used as a preservative and to inactivate the virus.
• The toxic chemicals, tri butylphosphate and Polysorbate 80, U.S.P.
• Resin, to eliminate "substantial portions" of tri butylphosphate and Polysorbate 80
• Thimerosal, a mercury derivative, to preserve the vaccine cocktail.
• Polyethylene glycol, a relative of ethylene glycol (antifreeze); often used to poison dogs and other predators of sheep. |
| Apart from such contamination, it is worth mentioning that standard chemicals like formaldehyde, mercury, and aluminum are purposely put into vaccines. It is left up to your imagination as to what must happen to the health prospects of our future generations when such cocktails of ghastly poisons are directly injected into the bloodstream of a child.
Dr. Davis conceded that no long-term studies have been done on any vaccines, and that long-term follow-up is not done in any careful way. The assumption is made that vaccines do not cause problems, so why should anyone check? |

 These substances include animal hair, asbestos, bedding, carbon monoxide, disinfectants, dust, electromagnetic fields, formaldehyde, hair sprays, household cleaning products, lead, low-level radiation from television screens and computer monitors, mold, paint, pesticides, pollen, radon, solvents, and tobacco smoke. Some products used in the home emit volatile components into the air, among them certain plastics (which emit styrene), solvents (benzene), carpets (4-phenylcyclohexene [4-PC]), and manufactured wood products such as pressed-wood furniture and kitchen cabinets (formaldehyde). |

How to Eliminate Toxins from Artificial Sweeteners
• Go through your pantry and refrigerator and throw out everything that has any of the following artificial sweeteners listed on the label: Aspartame, Acesulfame Potassium (K), Saccharin, or Sucralose.
• Avoid any product claiming to be "low calorie," "diet," "sugar free," or "no added sugar". |

| Once it has entered the intestinal tract, aspartame is converted into two highly excitatory neurotransmitter amino acids, aspartic acid and phenylalinine, as well as into methyl alcohol (wood-grain alcohol) and formaldehyde (embalming fluid).
Wood alcohol is one of the most dangerous substances that result from eating artificial sweeteners. It may directly enter the bloodstream and move through the brain barrier into the central nervous system where it can influence the neurotransmitters, alter brain function, and cause brain damage. |
| Wood alcohol can cause blindness and formaldehyde can cause cancer. In some cases aspartame may suppress appetite and "kill" AGNI, the digestive fire, altogether. Both can lead to quick, excessive weight gain. According to Consumer Reports, aspartame has a shelf life of between two and three months. After that it begins to break down and pose an increasing danger to the consumer. The same occurs when aspartame or an aspartame-containing food is heated.
Aspartame accounts for more than 75 percent of the total adverse reactions to food reported to the U.S. Federal Drug Administration. |

 It is believed that prions cannot be destroyed by cooking, freezing, ionizing, radiation, autoclaving, sterilization, bleach, or formaldehyde.
Some scientists theorize that the changes in the rendering process—lower temperarures and lack of solvents—may have contributed to the spread of BSE. The "BSE Inquiry," a group of doctors and scientists in the United Kingdom have other Theories. This group of doctors noted that the most puzzling aspect was that only one or two cattle in a herd became infected with BSE even though the entire herd was fed the same compound. |

| It does to food what formaldehyde does to embalmed corpses.
Products that are "enriched" are no better. Actually, they are worse because most additives are toxic, requiring the body to expend energy and nutrients to eliminate them. In the refining process, hundreds of nutrients are removed, and then a few synthetic chemicals added back. The food industry calls this enrichment. The products are not enriched; they are actually depleted and made more toxic by the synthetic additives. |

| None of these chemicals are suitable for human consumption. formaldehyde alone is a powerful cancer-causing agent.
Politics versus Ethics
Fortunately, a resistance movement is growing to prevent further damage from these harmful products. On April 6th, 2004 lawsuits were filed in three separate California courts against twelve companies that either produce or use the artificial sweetener aspartame as a sugar substitute in their products. The suits were filed in Shasta, Sonoma and Butte Counties in California. |

| When Mom got a blinding headache after getting her nails done, I suggested it might have had something to do with the acetone, the formaldehyde, the toluene and the other dozens of chemicals that get used in manicures. But I couldn't really be sure.
At one point, I groused, "Why can't we tell people about the goods and bads of cancer? Why do people just have to learn by trial and error what makes them feel better or worse?"
