Activist writes letter urging New Mexico officials to ban aspartame
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Dr. Betty Martini, founder of Mission Possible International, lets readers peruse the letter she sent to New Mexico officials, including Governor Bill Richardson, regarding the hearing scheduled to review the neurotoxicity of aspartame.
Below please find the letter I wrote the EIB in September proving that aspartame violates both State and Federal Statutes on Adulteration.
The FDA refused approval for 16 years, and at one point, even asked the Justice Department to prosecute the manufacturer for fraud and submission of false documents!
This is the first and only time in its history that FDA did this.
Dr. Adrian Gross, FDA toxicologist, told Congress that aspartame, without a shadow of a doubt triggers brain cancer and violates the Delaney Amending forbidding carcinogenic additives.
One employee of the FDA told the mother of an aspartame-seizure victim: "We revoked the petition for approval; we tried to indict the company; we said it wasn't safe, and we said it caused seizures and brain tumors.
Even in the UPI investigation, it was reported physicians who spoke out to Congress were put on a yacht and the aspartame manufacturers tried to change their mind.
Similarly, when aspartame manufacturers and their front groups like the Calorie Control Council say the recent Italian studies by the Ramazzini Foundation don't go along with other carcinogen studies, they are lying; they are trying to compare the truthful new one from Italy to ones they controlled to get the result they wanted.
This was a carefully done study that clearly demonstrated a statistically significant increase in several types of lymphomas and leukemias in rats.
Clearly by statute, the Environmental Improvement Board of New Mexico and the Board of Pharmacy have the power to conduct hearings, examine the evidence, and if they deem appropriate, to then ban aspartame.
If they didn't exercise their powers given to them by the legislature in statutes, they would be of no use to the people.
