Steato Hepatitis, characterized by an accumulation of fat in the
hepatocyte (liver cell) resulting from ingestion of aspartame is focused
in the mitochondria. Mitochondria are the energy furnaces of the cell
and aspartame (APM) metabolism into more toxic derivatives, formaldehyde
and formic acid take place in the mitochondria. As in all NutraSweet
poisoning the formaldehyde and formic acid immediately attack the
tissues they are generated in so we see a new co-existent plague of
“anti-mitrochondrial antibody hepatitis” generated right along with the
steato hepatitis because the immune system reacts to the degenerated
tissues.
The breakdown of fats into energy producing chemicals has obligatory
metabolism via mitochondrial mechanisms. When mitochondria are rendered
defective by aspartame poisoning fat cannot be processed to be used for
energy. The formation of fat from dietary calories proceeds because fat
is built up directly in the cytosol of cells and accumulation is not
dependent on mitochondrial function. So liver cells and fat cells and
after fats cells (lipocytes) store fat and cannot get rid of it no
matter how badly it is needed to supply energy to the body. Thanks to
NutraSweet these victims literally cannot starve the fat off of their
bodies or out of their livers because of their compromised mitochondrial
functional capacity. To make matters worse the mitochondrial DNA is
severely damaged. Methanol/formaldehyde poisoning occurring as the
direct result of the obligatory metabolism of methyl radicals is the
most common form of genetic damage, caused by formaldehyde cross linkage
of DNA strains. The mitochondrial DNA is thousands of times more
vulnerable to this than nuclear DNA, and lack the excellent repair
mechanisms that protects the integrity of nuclear DNA. The presently
understood mitochondria DNA repair mechanisms are merely excisional,
that is the DNA rendered abnormal by the aspartame/methanol poisoning is
merely excised leaving the mitochondrial function at best insufficient,
defective and incomplete. Which in addition to producing inadequate and
incomplete energy metabolism spins off highly damaging free radicals.
Methanol/formaldehyde poisoning is noted for this.
This vicious circle amounts to tremendous degenerative process in the
human organism and the unfortunate results too numerous to be repeated
here but are well detailed on www.dorway.com and other excellent sites
such as www.holisticmed.com/aspartame, as well as Dr. Hyman Roberts text
on the subject. (Aspartame Disease: The Ignored Epidemic – 1 800 814 -
9800 or www.sunsentpress.com/ ). This amounts to virtual “genocide”,
and is further emphasized by the fact this mitochondrial DNA damage is
directly transmitted by female NutraSweet users to her children and
grandchildren, and to subsequent generations via her female descendents.
