Aspartame's Neurotoxicity to be Determined at June 7 New Mexico Environmental Improvement Board Meeting
New Mexico's statutes allow the Environmental Improvement Board to determine that a food additive is poisonous and therefore subject to prosecution by the New Mexico Attorney General, in this case, aspartame, the artificial sweetener.
(PRWEB) June 6, 2005 -- The neurotoxicity of aspartame, the artificial
sweetener which breaks down into formaldehyde and causes profound
neurodegenerative afflictions in humans, will be the subject of a presentation
to the New Mexico Environmental Improvement Board on June 7 at 9:30 A.M. in Room
321 of the New Mexico State Capitol. The Environmental Improvement Board has the
statutory power to regulate and maintain the standards for food quality in New
Mexico.
In accordance with several almost unknown New Mexico statutes
[NM 25-2-7, 25-2-10, and 25-2-13, which date back to 1941] regarding the process
whereby poisonous additives to food can be identified as such, and subsequently
prosecuted by the NM Attorney General, this presentation is organized by Stephen
Fox, nutrition advocate and designer of several bills in the 2006 legislative
session, who is spearheading this effort to make consumer protection in New
Mexico actually mean something in the realm of preventing neurotoxic food
additives from poisoning large numbers of New Mexicans.
Several
physicians with keen interest in and knowledge of these matters are part of the
presentation:
- Dr. George Schwartz, M.D. Toxicologist and Editor of
Principles and Practice of Emergency
Medicine [tel. (505) 610-8243]
-
Dr. Grant La Farge, M.D. Pediatric Cardiologist and former professor of Medicine
at Harvard
University Medical School [(505) 982-7661]
- Dr. Ken Stoller,
M.D., Pediatrician and author of scholar treatises and legislative memorials
regarding the neurotoxicity of mercury in dental amalgams and in children’s
vaccinations. [(505)
820-6234]
Aspartame was approved in 1981 for
general use as an artificial sweetener by the FDA, and in 1983 for use in soft
drinks. It is found in “diet” beverages [including Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, Dr.
Pepper, 7UP, and numerous others], sweeteners for coffee and tea like Indulge,
Dannon Low Fat yogurt, Wrigley’s chewing gum, and even in Flintstones’
childrens’ vitamins, totaling 7000 products consumed by 70% of the adults and
40% of the children in the USA!
The USFDA lists 92 medical symptoms
attributed to aspartame, the #1 product complained about to the FDA, and these
include: headaches, convulsions, seizures, nausea, depression, death, and
others, yet, the FDA refuses to withdraw its approval of aspartame despite
repeated petitions that they do so, and a mountain of evidence that this must be
done.
The FDA was the subject of an extensive comment on June 1 in Santa
Fe by New York Attorney General, Eliot Spitzer, candidate for Governor of New
York, who visited Santa Fe for a fundraising event, which was prefaced by: “The
FDA is a joke!” He then went into detail about New York's suits against
Glaxo-Welcome, one of the world's largest pharmaceutical corporations for its
lack of disclosure of potentially ruinous information about its products, and
related examples of corporate manipulation of the FDA approval processes.

well as the eminent Neurosurgeon, Dr. Russell Blaylock, M.D., author of numerous
medical articles on aspartame and degenerative brain disorders, as well as
