Particular warning to diabetics: Researchers found that diabetic patients using sucralose showed a statistically significant increase in glycosylated hemoglobin, a marker that is used to assess glycemic control in diabetic patients. According to the FDA, "increases in glycosolation in hemoglobin imply lessening of control of diabetes."

Ajinomoto just announced a new name for aspartame called AminoSweet. Be warned.

Dear Ms. Oshita:

In reading available information, I assume you want mostly how aspartame relates to cancer. Indeed it is a carcinogen, proven so by many scientific studies. Aspartame also triggers many other serious
diseases which fill the 1,000+ page medical text, Aspartame Disease:
An Ignored Epidemic,
<http://www.sunsentpress.com/>http://www.sunsentpress.com by H. J. Roberts, M.D.

When FDA Commissioner Dr. Von Eschenbach took office I wrote him
about aspartame and cancer, mainly due to his professed intention to
save cancer victims; so much of this has already been done.

Later 12 toxicologists asked the FDA to ban aspartame because of the long term Ramazzini studies on large rat populations showing
aspartame is "a multipotential carcinogen".

Now I'll go back to the beginning.

Aspartame was not approved by science but thru the political
chicanery of Don Rumsfeld. D.C. Attorney James Turner, explains how
Rumsfeld did it in the documentary Sweet Misery, a Poisoned World.
Here's a clip from the movie so you can hear what he said:

Searle's problem was they couldn't get studies to show safety. For
example, in the Bressler Report:
<http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_news.htm>http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_news.htm
you read where they would excise brain tumors from the rats, put them back in the study and after they died resurrected them back on paper. They even filtered out neoplasms to hide them from the FDA. Repeatedly Searle was caught in this criminal activity.

On January 10, 1977 in a 33 page letter, FDA Chief Counsel Richard
Merrill recommended to the Justice Department Attorney Sam Skinner
that a grand jury investigate Searle for "apparent violations of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 USC 331 (e), and the False
Reports to the Government Act, 18 U.S.C. 1001, for "their willful and
knowing failure to make reports to the Food and Drug Administration
required by the Act, 21 U.S.C 355 (i) and making false statements in
reports of animal studies conducted to establish the safety of
aspartame." The FDA called special attention to studies investigating
the effect of NutraSweet on monkeys and hamsters.

Searle was caught dead to rights, so they hired Skinner, made him a
deal he couldn't refuse. So the former Justice Department prosecutor
became a defender. Next at bat asU. S. Prosecutor was William Conlon, who promptly switched sides too. By then the statute of limitations had expired. Searle knew they couldn't win the case so they simply hired the prosecutors.The Godfather hired the District Attorneys!

Nevertheless the FDA had no intention of approving aspartame. The
fraud was so great that Dr. John Olney (who with James Turner fought against approval of aspartame ) told Searle to do studies in his lab so he could see that they were done honestly, with supervision. Dr. Olney believed the FDA wouldn't approve aspartame because the studies showed it produced brain damaged. What he didn't anticipate is that Searle didn't submit these findings to the FDA.

January 30, 1980 the Public Board of Inquiry revoked Searle's petition for approval declaring that they had "not been presented with proof of reasonable certainty that aspartame is safe for use as a food additive." Searle had spent $17 million on an aspartame factory and had no intention of giving up, poison or no. At this point they hired Donald Rumsfeld who said he would call in his markers and get it approved anyway.
