The facts are horrific: Rumsfeld forced the FDA to approve Aspartame, and FDA has toed the line ever since, but the truth always does prevail.

Introduction: If ever we could select a primary saint to be beatified from among the ranks of many fine and qualified physicians, my own well-considered vote would be for the late Dr. H. J. Roberts, Internist from West Palm Beach, Florida. Indeed, his own colleagues in the medical ranks selected him as the Best Physician in America for 1984. His definitive medical text "Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic" is now being sullied by some very belligerently ignorant FDA officials.

This newest article of mine will meticulously expose just a few of the FDAs distortions of Dr. Roberts prophetic writings on the proven neurodegenerative and internal harm done by this artificial sweetener poison masquerading as an additive. It was listed with the pentagon in an inventory of prospective biochemical warfare weapons submitted to Congress. http://www.mpwhi.com/ecologist_september_2005.pdf

The letter below from Dr. Joseph Thomas of the FDA shows the world that the Fatal Drugs Allowed folks will never protect the public and will continue to perform their corporate servitude above and beyond the law. The FDA's message over the years on aspartame has been "show us the mechanism by which aspartame triggers disease and the science, and we will take another look."

Therefore, the late world expert H. J. Roberts, M.D. wrote a medical text that goes from disease to disease, all of which are triggered or precipitated or exacerbated by aspartame. He not only gives the mechanism but also describes many of the individual cases. In the next to last communication from Dr. Thomas, he admitted he had the medical text I sent but denied it listed any mechanisms.

So first, let's give an example from the medical test, "Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic", by Dr. Roberts, to show you how Dr. Thomas lies and distorts the obvious truth, and that the text does list the mechanisms of aspartame disease.

As an example on page 460 there is a heading on Polymyalgia Rheumatica. Dr. Roberts says, "Several of my patients with polymyalgia rheumatica, a generalized "aches and pains" disorder, experienced aspartame disease. They had been under good control with small doses of corticosteroids (cortisone-like drugs) until suffering severe flare-ups after ingesting aspartame products. Improvement followed aspartame avoidance."

Then Dr. Roberts gives some of the symptoms; I'll pick up on page 461 where Dr. Roberts discusses polymyositis. He says, "The diagnosis of polymyositis was made or considered in several patients with aspartame disease who suffered severe muscle weakness."

On page 462 he lists the MECHANISMS below showing you Dr. Thomas has lied. You can go through the book showing mechanisms continually for the diseases triggered or precipitated by aspartame.

"PATHOPHYSIOLOGIC MECHANISMS: The mechanisms involved in aspartame induced rheumatologic disorders probably include direct effects of its three components (phenylalanine, aspartic acid; methanol, altered neurotransmitter metabolism, decreased tissue substrate due to the combination of increased insulin release and decreased food intake by persons attempting to lose weight, and immunologic reactions to aspartame or its metabolites, perhaps acting as haptenes (Chapter VIII). Only several aspects are considered here. It is likely that chronic methanol poisoning (Chapter XXI) plays a role. The methyl alcohol derived from aspartame is detoxified to formaldehyde, and then to formate or formic acid.

"The conjugation of formaldehyde with human serum albumin (F-HSA) forms a new antigenic determinant. Symptomatic patients chronically exposed to formaldehyde develop anti F-HSA antibodies and elevated Tal cells (antigen memory cells), consistent with sustained immunologic stimulation (Thrasher 1988).

"A simplified hypothesis for initiation of an autoimmune response involves the ambling" of proteins by formaldehyde, thereby making them strange to the person's immune system and serving as antigens. Additionally, an increase of leukotrienes, 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid and other arachidonic acid metabolites has been found when macrophages are exposed to aspartame (Hardcastle 1997).

"Abnormalities of calcium and phosphate metabolism (Chapter IX-E) may be contributory.

The affinity of aspartame for calcium (Matsuzawa 1984) suggests its preferential distribution in bones and joints.

Aspartame has been shown to be bound to a human Bence-Jones dimer, as determined by x-ray crystallography of the ligand protein complex (Edmundson 1998). Moreover, dipeptide-binding proteins require the calcium ion, which may enhance the binding of aspartame to the Bence-Jones dimer.

The calcium-depleting influence of considerable phosphoric acid present in the acid medium of aspartame sodas (Wyshak 2000) could contribute to the rheumatologic complaints of aspartame reactors." End of quotes from medical texts. "

This is just one example in the medical text to show every disease is explained and mechanisms noted. This shows the FDA doesn't even want to acknowledge there is evidence when it comes to aspartame. The epidemics of symptoms and diseases was so prevalent after aspartame was marketed that immediately Senator Howard Metzenbaum asked for congressional hearings. They were delayed to 1985 because of Senator Orrin Hatch who had received funds from the manufacturer. As to science, almost 100% of independent scientific peer reviewed studies clearly delineate the problems the FDA routinely ignores on aspartame. Dr. Ralph Walton, M.D. Psychiatrist, did research on Scientific Peer Reviewed Studies and Funding. This showed 92% of all independent scientific peer reviewed studies showed the problems. He wrote that once you eliminate 6 studies the FDA had something to do with and one pro-aspartame summary, 100% of independent, scientific peer reviewed studies show the problems. Here is that research: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/8479/b5aaa60a97619f97c8b61cfa0afac6c7d082.pdf

Ever since Dr. Walton did this research, independent study after study has continued to show the problems from metabolic syndrome, raising blood sugar, obesity, strokes and cancer to dementia. These studies show aspartame is a killing machine. Rather than list them all, here is a report from the "US Right To Know" people who list a lot of the recent ones showing continually all independent and unbiased studies on aspartame show the facts. It's titled:

Aspartame: Decades of Science Point to Serious Health Risks - http://www.rense.com/general96/deadlyaspar.html

So this puts to rest the fact FDA knows science shows aspartame is a deadly chemical poison triggering or precipitating the diseases in a 1000 page medical text that could be twice the size if brought up-to-date. Dr. Roberts told me before his death he would have to add 200 pages just to add the new studies on cancer, obesity and metabolic disease and such. Since his death there have been many more, including a recent one on aspartame-induced dementia.

While FDA ignores the horrors of aspartame disease, after almost 40 years, it is well known by the world; day after day, there are new articles with most alerting the public not to use this poison not only in the US but from all over the world. Here is a recent one on tooth paste (but observe how they warn about not using tooth paste that has aspartame): "Your Toothpaste Can Damage Your Teeth!"

Here is a paragraph from it: https://doctor.ndtv.com/living-healthy/your-toothpaste-can-damage-your-make-your-own-all-natural-home-made-toothpaste-1801233

" Some toothpastes contain artificial sweeteners like aspartame. One of the most controversial approvals by Food and Drug Administration, aspartame can increase risks of cancer, depression, weight gain, nausea and rashes. Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis are other risks of consuming aspartame."

So now looking at Dr. Joseph Thomas' recent letter, he says the petition is closed. As long as FDA violates the law and allows this poison on the market, the issue cannot be closed. Even 12 toxicologists filed in 2007 to have aspartame banned because it causes cancer, but FDA did nothing. Dr. Woodrow Monte, author of "While Science Sleeps: A Sweetener Kills" took the issue all the way to the Supreme Court who wouldn't hear it, showing you the politics involved in keeping a poison marketed that is mass poisoning the world.

Look at the difference with another country. Just recently, January 15, 2017, the Food Safety Authority of the Punjab, one of the 4 main provinces of Pakistan, announced MSG is being banned for a host of medical problems resulting from this proven neurotoxic food additive.

By comparison, what is the history with the FDA? For over a quarter of a century, the FDA has allowed the glutamate people to do studies using aspartame as a placebo, and to accept them as proof. They know there is no way to say MSG won't react but with another excitotoxin as the placebo; they can say it doesn't react any more than the placebo. The difference? In the US, the FDA operates as a cover-up for industry. We hope the next thing Pakistan does is ban aspartame. The aspartic acid in aspartame is another excitotoxin called the sister of MSG. Aspartame has already been banned in Romania because it caused so much cancer.

Dr. Thomas wrote in his letter:

"In accordance with FDA regulations at 21 CFR 10.33, reconsideration of all or part of a decision on a citizen petition must be submitted in accordance with 10.20 within 30 days after the date of FDAs decision on the petition. The 30-day deadline for requesting reconsideration of FDAs decision of your citizen petition was October 31, 2014."

The relevant statute states a Citizen's Petition should be answered in 180 days.

Here it is filed in 2002: http://www.wnho.net/citizens_aspartame_petition.htm

Yet they didn't answer it until 2014. The FDA is legend for sending out a letter saying they have more important things to do. What could be more important than stopping the mass poisoning of the public? Thus, denying the petition on such spurious and untimely reasons becomes a VIOLATION OF THE LAW.

In order to file within 30 days you have to receive the answer from the FDA to even know it has been answered. They never sent me a letter so there was no way to answer immediately. FDA wrote a letter but did not send it to me, perhaps knowing I would have appealed it. The only way I found out was the National Law Review published the letter I never received. In fact, Pediatrician Kenneth Stoller, M.D. also filed for FDA to ban aspartame, and he has clarified that he never received a response letter either. Stollers answer was published by the National Law Review. When I mentioned this earlier that FDA never sent an answer and I found it published by the NLR immediately it was removed from the Review's document. Too late! I had printed it out and published it.

Here are just a few violations of the law by the FDA and why we couldn't appeal the decision, since FDA never notified us.

1. Aspartame violated the law when it was approved and admitted to the Senate by the Chief FDA Investigator himself, Dr. Adrian Gross. He headed the Task Force and asked for the indictment of the patent holder, G.D. Searle, for fraud. Dr. Thomas wrote that FDA addressed this issue. I'm the one who brought it up in the original petition for ban and it is to me the answer should be addressed. Here it is again until FDA answers it.

On August 1, 1985, FDA toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross, told Congress that at least one of Searles studies has established beyond any reasonable doubt that aspartame is capable of inducing brain tumors in experimental animals and that this predisposition of it is of extremely high significance.... In view of these indications that the cancer causing potential of aspartame is a matter that had been established way beyond any reasonable doubt, one can ask: What is the reason for the apparent refusal by the FDA to invoke for this food additive the so-called Delaney Amendment to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act?"

The Delaney Amendment makes it illegal to allow any residue of cancer-causing chemicals in foods. Dr. Gross concluded by asking, Given the cancer-causing potential of aspartame, how would the FDA justify its position that it views a certain amount of aspartame as constituting an allowable daily intake or safe level of it? Is that position in effect not equivalent to setting a tolerance for this food additive and thus a violation of that law? And if the FDA itself elects to violate the law, who is left to protect the health of the public? Congressional Record SID835:131 (8/1/85)

2. In 2009, Dr. Delaney called me saying he was from the FDA. When I mentioned FDA never answered my petitions he said: "Not going to happen." When I said people were sick and dying all over the world he said, "So what? We have to depopulate!" If there were an award for an agency of the government charged with protecting the public, and not only not protecting them but could care less, FDA would win such an award hands down. He went on to say he was calling because some FDA scientists filed with President Obama that FDA was broken and Obama said all petitions had to be answered back to 2007. That's when I said FDA needs to go back to 2002 and answer the first petition. He asked me how I knew it had to be answered in writing. (Note from Dr. Thomas' letter he doesn't appear to even know that I filed a second petition - an imminent health hazard, as an amendment to the original. The imminent health hazard petition is supposed to be answered in a week or ten days immediately). It was filed because the original petition that was suppose to be answered in 2002 had still not been answered in 2007.

http://www.wnho.net/amendment_to_citizens_petition.htm

By not answering it at all becomes yet another VIOLATION OF THE LAW.


3. Aspartame violates adulteration laws. Allow me to quote directly from the protest to the FDA by the National Soft Drink Association (now American Beverage):

" It is well established that the petitioner for issuance of a regulation authorizing the use of a food additive bears the burden of proving, through reliable and competent data, each element of the criteria set forth in section 409 of the FDC Act, 21 U.S.C. 348. for issuance of a food additive regulation. The present record does not contain data which demonstrate that the use of APM in soft drinks will not result in the adulteration of the beverages under section 402 (a)(3) of the FDC Act. 21 U.S.C. 342 (a) (3), which provides that a food is adulterated if it contains, in whole or in part, "...a decomposed substance or if it is otherwise unfit for food." Indeed, the present record strongly suggests that the rapid degradation of APM in soft drinks and the consequent loss of sweetness may well result, under certain actual time and temperature conditions, in products which would be adulterated under section 402. Without data which demonstrate that APM-sweetened beverages will not be adulterated under section 402 (a)(3). Searle has not met its burden of proof under section 409 (c) (3) (B) of the FDC Act. 21 U.S.C. 348 (c) (3) (B). ...

"The marked and rapid decomposition of APM in soft drinks under temperatures known to prevail is apparent from data in the present record and discussed above in these objections. Those data show that it is reasonable to expect APM to decompose in soft drinks sufficiently rapidly under current handling and distribution procedures to adversely affect product quality and taste. (17)

"It is well-established under section 402 (a) (3), that a food which contains a decomposed substance (i.e., the decomposition products of APM which, Searle's data show, can readily exceed the quantity of APM itself in a short time)--especially where the decomposition has adversely affected product quality or made the product unpalatable--is adulterated and subject to seizure. FDA would consider beverages which had lost substantial sweetness because of APM decomposition and which were therefore not palatable, to be adulterated under section 402 (ax3). The record is devoid, however, of evidence which demonstrate that APM used to sweeten soft drinks will not, under reasonably anticipated conditions of use, in fact cause the products to be adulterated. Without such evidence Searle has not met the burden imposed under section 409 (c) (3)"

S 5510 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD -- SENATE May 7, 1985

4. Aspartame violates interstate commerce laws.

The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) prohibits, among other things,

"The introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of any food, drug, device, or cosmetic that is adulterated or misbranded" [FD&C Act, sec. 301(a); 21 U.S.C. 331(a)].

You cannot ship for sale an adulterated product.

5. FDA'S NEW RULE ON SANITARY TRANSPORT OF FOOD. ASPARTAME VIOLATES THE RULE

http://www.mpwhi.com/fda_new_rule_on%20food_transport.htm

6. FDA VIOLATES DATA QUALITY ACT http://www.mpwhi.com/fda_violates_data_quality_act.htm

Further for FDA to seal the teratology birth defects studies knowing aspartame caused neural tube defects, spina bifida and cleft palate without even a pregnancy warning is truly a hideous crime. As far as any other information not in the 2002 petition, there are 16 years of scientific peer reviewed studies proving aspartame triggers or precipitates many diseases from obesity and cancer to dementia, myocardial infarctions, strokes and metabolic disease - just for starters.

FDA has stated for over 30 years that if something is shown scientifically, they could take another look at aspartame. How can FDA make such statements when almost all independent and unbiased studies have shown every horror. FDA has turned a blind eye and deaf ear and ignored the independent scientific peer reviewed research. Jana Marie Kincaid wrote she shredded the studies for G. D. Searle, sending one copy to France, and that aspartame killed everything it touched.

For example, please consider the Trocho Study, which clearly proves that the formaldehyde converted from the free methyl alcohol embalms living tissue and damages DNA. http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_and_preembalming.htm

What kind of excuse can FDA come up with on an excitoneurotoxic, carcinogenic drug masquerading as an additive, pre-embalming the body and turning the tissue to plastic as discussed in "When Science Sleeps: A Sweetener Kills", by Dr. Woodrow Monte. [ www.whilesciencesleeps.com]

FDA has an entire medical text, "Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic" by the late world expert H. J. Roberts, M.D. and looking at the evidence then denies it exists! It was written so physicians and the public would even know the mechanism by which aspartame precipitates or triggers so many diseases. How can FDA stare the evidence in the face and deny it? The FDA promised Dr. John Olney that they would see to it no child would ever get aspartame; Dr. Olney tried to prevent approval of aspartame and it was never proven safe. Donald Rumsfeld got aspartame marketed through political chicanery. Instead today FDA continues to allow aspartame even in pediatric drugs with the full knowledge aspartame will destroy brain cells and that it interacts with drugs.

To even allow the death of babies from aspartame is grotesque:

http://www.wnho.net/sweetened_horror_story.htm

Does the FDA think when a dead baby is taken from his mother's arms and put into the ground she is thinking that this childs death is merely anecdotal?

A copy of this correspondence is going to Dr. Thomas, to show him this case is not closed until FDA rescinds the forced approval for this deadly poison. How FDA approves even more of the toxins like Advantame is repulsive. The FDA officials need to check the index of Dr. Roberts book, and read about its own part in covering up this hideous crime allowing the public to be mass poisoned.

Furthermore, just because FDA ignores scientific peer-reviewed research like three Ramazzini studies proving aspartame causes cancer (which was first admitted by the FDA officials themselves!) doesn't remove them from the record. FDA has been covering up independent studies for almost 40 years, and the people are still dying from it. The Ramazzini Studies were peer-reviewed by 7 world experts and the Institute is known worldwide for its accurate research on cancer. The author of them, Dr. Morando Soffritti even received an award only given twice before in history. Harvard also did a study linking aspartame to cancer.

All of this makes the FDA look foolish to the world; it has completely lost the respect of the public, but in truth, we have to conclude they truly dont care.

Dr. Thomas writes about regulations when in the case of aspartame they have repeatedly violated the law as their own chief scientist Dr. Adrian Gross told Congress in 1985. If science has shown aspartame is responsible for such gross things as having the body embalmed by formaldehyde, damage to DNA, cancer, interaction with drugs and vaccines, malignant brain tumors and horrible birth defects what else does science need to show for FDA to take action?
