FDA lead scientist Dr. Adrian Gross told the United States Senate in 1985 that the FDA should not have been able to set an allowable daily dose for aspartame because it causes cancer. There simply is no safe dose. After the meeting, a CIC official told me that "because they voted so high, they now have to investigate further to classify it as a carcinogen."
If the CIC vote had been "low or no priority," then the process would have stopped there. I guarantee you if I had not come, it would have stopped because of Calorie Control and Dr. Adamson. I am delighted with Prop 65 clearly trying to label products accurately, and look forward to their continued investigation of aspartame with the real facts, void of industry brainwashing. It is past time to ban this poison in the United States and elsewhere.
Dr. Betty Martini is the founder of the worldwide volunteer force, Mission Possible World Health International, which is committed to removing aspartame from our food supply. She has an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree for the work she has done as well as 22 years of experience in the medical field. She speaks frequently on talk programs throughout the country and the World. The web address for Mission Possible is www.mpwhi.com.
