Nation waits to see if New Mexico will implement a ban on aspartame
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Carolyn Dean, a naturopathic doctor, discusses the important decision facing New Mexico, as it holds hearings to determine whether or not to ban aspartame.
One of the most rewarding things about being part of the ever-growing health freedom movement, is that there is always an upside to what often looks like a bleak and losing battle against the monolith we call "modern medicine".
If you recall, back in August, Elissa and I wrote two articles "Diabetics to be Tracked Down by Government Agents" and "The Bitter Truth About Regulation of Sugar Substitutes" which pretty well covered the sorry tale of how sugar and sugar substitutes can ruin your health, if not kill you, outright.
For more up-to-the-minute details on the horrors of aspartame, the center of the fake sugar controversy, the focus of today's story, and what ordinary people in New Mexico are doing about it, you may want to check out detailed information gathered by my friend, Dr. Betty Martini, head of Mission Possible at the following website.
You may also want to peruse one of the key pages on this site that provides a document listing 92 symptoms caused by aspartame that had to be pried out of the FDA's own records by Freedom of Information Act means.
At the time we wrote those two previous articles, we were not aware of the high drama going on in New Mexico.
Fox, after doing his legal homework, sat down with a pencil and wrote legislation to create a state Nutrition Council with statutory powers to challenge the FDA if it mistakenly approves known carcinogens and neurotoxic food additives.
On the first front, another Nutrition Council bill has been introduced with the political support of Governor Bill Richardson, who has enthusiastically placed it on the agenda for the 2006 short session, which he controls, doubly endorsing it with an Executive Message.
In September 2005, The Ecologist, a major British scientific publication, published a 17-page cover story on the tangled web of deceit surrounding the approval of aspartame by the FDA and other regulatory bodies worldwide.
