EFSA blesses formaldehyde-forming aspartame on April 20
NCI backs study linking formaldehyde to leukemia, lymphoma on May 14
From Mission Possible International
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) announced April 20, 2009: …”on the basis of all the evidence currently available including the [second] published ERF study there is no indication of any genotoxic or carcinogenic potential of aspartame and that there is no reason to revise the previously established ADI (allowable daily intake) for aspartame of 40mg/kg bw/day.” Truth be told: aspartame is an addictive excitoneurotoxic, genetically engineered, carcinogenic that interacts with virtually all medications.

By Paris Reidhead
Got (Aspartame in Your) Milk???
Dairy’s two biggest trade associations have jointly written the Food and Drug Administration requesting that “non-nutritive sweeteners” be included in federal standards of identity for 17 different dairy products, including fluid milk. What’s the logic behind this request to alter federal standards by National Milk Producers Federation and the International Dairy Foods Assn?

By Tanya A. Crosby
December 21, 2008
As of last week, it seems companies producing zero-calorie products will have zero excuse to continue using synthetic sweeteners aspartame, saccharin and Splenda.
Following political pressure from industry giants Coca-Cola and Pepsi, The FDA gave a long-awaited nod to two stevia-based sweeteners developed by PepsiCo and the Coca-Cola Company. According to an article in the New York Times, the FDA now says they have “no objection to rebiana having GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status” as a general-purpose sweetener for food and beverages. It’s a huge switch in the FDA’s attitude. Previously, despite that Stevia is approved as a food additive in at least a dozen countries, including Japan and China, it could only be marketed in the U.S. as a supplement and was routinely suppressed by the FDA, reputedly because it threatened the profits of aspartame.

Is there anyway to get the petition I created posted on your website. I’m not sure what good it will do, but I gotta try. Thank you so much for your efforts to bring the evils of aspartame to the public.
— Jeanne O’Connor
Dear, Jeanne,
My father once said to me, speaking of the work he put into DORway, “If I can just help just one person, it’s all worthwhile.”
You’ve already done the world a service — by caring enough to start the petition. Not only will I post a link to your site, I’ll include my name on it and I hope all of DORway’s members will follow suit. It reminds me of a quote from my favorite Dr. Seuss book — The Lorax:
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
Good luck and keep us posted!

Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2008 12:39:29 -0500
To: dohweb@health.state.ny.us
From: “Dr. Betty Martini,D.Hum.”
Subject: Urgent Need: Aspartame Death Tax
To: Richard F. Daines, M.D., Commissioner of Health, copy to Governor David Paterson
Dear Doctor Daines:
My email box has been swamped with comments on Governor Paterson’s proposed obesity tax on non-diet sodas. How well it is known “If you want to get fat NutraSweet is where its at”, and “If it says diet, don’t buy it.” It is aspartame (Equal, NutraSweet, E951, Spoonful, NutraTaste, Canderel, Benevia, and anything else they can think to call it) as in Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi that has caused a global epidemic of obesity, as well as an epidemic of diabetes. Aspartame can precipitate diabetes, aggravates and simulates diabetic retinopathy, destroys the optic nerve from the free methyl alcohol, causes diabetics to go into convulsions and even interacts with insulin.
