Aspartame was invented by the G D Searle Co [acquired by Monsanto in 1985]. For 16 years FDA refused to approve it, until 1981 when FDA Commissioner Dr. Arthur H Hayes overruled the findings of a Public Board of Inquiry and protests of the American Soft Drink Association and blessed it. The tests submitted by Searle were so bad that FDA later, for the first time in history, asked the Justice Department to prosecute a manufacturer for fraud. The prosecutors, Sam Skinner and Wm. Conlon were hired by the defense attorneys and the case expired when the statute of limitations ran out. If the Godfather hires the District Attorney don't expect a conviction!

Aspartame's toxicity is verified by many of the world's finest doctors! Access www.dorway.com for hundreds of pages of evidence, the FDA complaint list, listen to doctors, get links to 200 web sites and a support group and lists of publications by medical experts. If your doctor doesn't know, its a shame, because many of his patients present symptoms of fatigue, headaches, joint pain, memory loss, vision depreciation, seizures, that he may misdiagnose since he's targeted for misinformation by the "authorities". Bring him the facts and ask him to get on-line.

Get it out of your school!
Get it out of your cafeteria!
Get it out of your homes!

Take all asparpoisoned products back to stores for refunds! Save lives by educating everyone you know!

Disability and Death are too much to pay for corporate Greed!

If your child is taking medication remember that aspartame is a drug that originally had a drug application but was withdrawn so it could be marketed as a food additive requiring no monitoring of side effects. The interaction with drugs includes monoamine oxidase inhibitors, alpha-methyldopa and L-dihydroxphenylalanine just for starters!

ASPARTAME DESTROYS YOUNG MINDS! Educators increasingly rely on Ritalin, Prozac, and other psychoactive drugs to bring order to the classrooms. So education becomes medication. Do firemen fight smoke? Aspartame is the fire, attention deficit disorder [ADD] is the smoke from a raging atrocity consuming the brains and lives of our children!

Endocrinologist H. J. Roberts, M.D., FACP has studied aspartame for 15 years and has a data base of 1300 aspartame victims. Dr. Roberts has declared Aspartame Disease a world epidemic. His books, Aspartame (NutraSweet) Is It Safe?, Sweet'ner Dearest and Defense Against Alzheimer's Disease should be on every doctor's bookshelf, and you need them if you're a victim. (http://www.icanect.net/sunpress) Roberts states a national survey shows 40% of children to the age of 9 consume aspartame products. There are no warnings except possibly for phenylketonurics (who can't metabolize phenylalanine) but some of these warnings have vanished since aspartame got blanket approval.

Dr. Miguel A. Baret from the Dominican Republic removed milk from 360 children's diet, as a preventative against diabetes. Cow's milk has a specific protein that can cause diabetes, especially in children. The children drank juice laced with aspartame. Immediately many developed problems described as "abnormal restlessness, lack of concentration, irritability and depression.." Dr. Baret, realizing aspartame was the cause of this change in his students, had aspartame removed.

"The results were as astonishing as the very situation I was trying to correct. Their symptoms disappeared in 4-6 days in ALL of them!!"

Thank you, Dr. Baret, for providing this study showing what aspartame does to the brains of our children.

Dr. Ralph Walton, Psychiatrist and Professor and Chairman of the Center for Behavioral Medicine has discussed the reactions Dr. Baret saw firsthand in the 360 children. He says there's extensive literature suggesting mechanisms whereby aspartame could be implicated in mental state changes.

"We have known for many years that when aspartame is ingested along with a carbohydrate rich meal the usual physiologic increase in tryptophan is blocked, while brain phenylalanine and tyrosine concentrations are increased. These changes in amino acid neurotransmitter precursors could, I believe, alter indoleamine/catecholamine balance, and thus have a profound effect on mood and cognition. .. depressed mood, anxiety, dizziness, panic attacks, nausea, irritability, impairment of memory and concentration."

Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D., author of Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills says that the ingredients in NutraSweet literally stimulate neurons to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees. Also, remember the synergistic effect of a child using aspartame and another excitotoxin, MSG. Dr. Blaylock says that even if a baby were to survive when the mother uses aspartame the problems will likely emerge at puberty when a child has to use the more complex parts of his brain, and that aspartame triggers autism and ADD.

Louis Elsas, M.D., Professor of Pediatrics, Genetics, Emory University, testified before Congress on Nov 3, 1987 that

"...aspartame is in fact a well known neurotoxin and teratogen (triggers birth defects) which, in some undefined dose will...irreversibly in the developing child or fetal brain, produce adverse effects."

He also says,

"I am particularly angry at the type of advertising that we have seen here today that is promoting the sale of a neurotoxin in the childhood age group."

Monsanto advertises the poison with a picture of a pregnant woman knitting. Yes, they know. They funded a study for Dr. Diana Dow-Edwards on aspartame and birth defects. When the results were disastrous they withdrew funding and Dr. Dow-Edwards had to pay for the study. Then neither the FDA or Monsanto would accept it. This fiasco left a message to the world from Monsanto: If the researcher won't say its safe we neither fund or accept the study.

Dr. Ralph Walton, after researching Medline, said on 60 Minutes that only industry-funded studies ever showed aspartame to be safe, but almost 100% of independent studies showed problems. Monsanto definitely does not want studies done they cannot control. When Dr. Walton did a study they refused to sell him the aspartame. After one man suffered a retinal detachment, another started bleeding from the eyes and others complained of being poisoned, the institution stopped the study. Did Monsanto know what would happen? Aspartame changes the menses and can trigger infertility. Many womean believing they can't have children throng the fertility clinics where they wait sipping diet drinks, the reason they're there!

A recent study (Trocho) has shown that formaldehyde accumulates in the cells and damages DNA with 50% toxicity in the liver and substantial amounts in kidneys, adipose tissue, retina and brain. In a paper on aspartame and the liver by Sandra Cabot, M.D., from Mission Possible Australia (author of books on the liver) she asks why would anyone consume aspartame. She said:

"I certainly would not put it into my body because I am alive and well and not ready to be embalmed."

And that's what aspartame is - Do-It-Yourself Embalming! Dr. Blaylock says in light of the above study, anyone who would use aspartame would have to be suicidal!

Dr. James Bowen who suffers from Lou Gehrigs Disease from aspartame told the FDA years ago (www.dorway.com) it is

"...mass poisoning of the American public as well as seventy plus countries in the rest of the world."

He also said,

"Every known metabolite of aspartame is of marked or questionable toxicity and patently unsafe for human use."

What if a child is diabetic? Diabetic specialist, Dr. H. J. Roberts says in his position paper on diabetes, hypoglycemia and aspartame this toxin keeps blood sugar out of control, destroys the optic nerve and can cause diabetics to go into convulsions. Now diabetics have to use insulin pumps to control blood sugar!

Courageous physicians like these listed above have spoken out and many screamed at Congress in three congressional hearings. But industry lobbying and power has kept this poison on the market. And now Monsanto wants the FDA to approve an even more potent aspartame - Neotame!

Mission Possible International is an unpaid, worldwide volunteer force in the US and many countries warning all consumers off this toxin. We have nothing to sell, and but one mission - to save your life! We want to know if we have made a difference. We want to know from physicians every patient whose symptoms disappeared. We want a list of every school who has removed this neurotoxin.

Make a difference, then tell us the results from removing this poison. Help tell the world by making copies of this life-saving message for all your friends, workmates, club, schools, all doctors and health workers
