Major Aspartame Crimes - 
Corporate & Government
>From Betty Martini 
 
Open Letter to Janet Reno, Justice Department
4-4-00
  
Dear Mrs. Reno: 
  
I'm writing to advise you of serious corporate and bureaucratic crimes. Title 
18, Section 1001, Criminal Code declares: Whoever, in any matter within the 
jurisdiction of the executive, legislative or judicial branch of the 
Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully - 
  
* (1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a 
material fact; * (2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent 
statement or representation; * (3) or makes or uses any false writing or 
document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or 
fraudulent statement or entry, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned 
... 
  
FDA wanted Searle indicted for fraud, but U.S. Prosecutors Skinner and Conlon 
switched sides and the statute of limitations expired. Finally, Dr. Arthur 
Hull Hayes, FDA Commissioner, overruled the Board of Inquiry and approved 
aspartame and hired with NutraSweet's PR. He has refused to speak to the 
press ever since. 
  
Section 402 of the FDC Act 21 provides a food is adulterated if it contains, 
in whole or in part"...a decomposed substance or if it is otherwise unfit for 
food". The National Soft Drink Association in their protest against aspartame 
approval in l983 recorded this, as found in the Congressional Record of May 
7, l985, Page S 5509, Senate. 
  
NSDA knew aspartame decomposes in soft drinks. They objected: "Searle has not 
demonstrated to a reasonable certainty that aspartame and its degradation 
products are safe for use in soft drinks. ... Aspartame is inherently 
markedly and uniquely unstable in aqueous media. In a liquid, such as a soft 
drink aspartame will degrade as a function of temperature and pH." S5507 
  
Inferior test methods were used by Searle as NSDA explained: "High pressure 
liquid chromotography is a far superior analytical method relative to thin 
layer chromatography and numerous HPLC methods exist for the detection and 
quantification of amino acids. Searle's choice of TLC over HPLC adversely 
affected the quality and type of analytical data generated on aspartame and 
its decomposition products in soft drinks." S5507 .... " an important 
decomposition product of APM, aspartic acid cannot be detected at all using 
TLC." S 5508 
  
"The inability to account for as much as thirty-nine percent of aspartame's 
decomposition products is significant." "The marked and rapid decomposition 
of aspartame in soft drinks under temperatures known to prevail is apparent 
from data in the present record and discussed above in these objections." S 
5509 (So APM could not be legally added to carbonated beverages under Section 
402 because it decomposes and NSDA admitted that happens.) 
  
CRIME BY NSDA MEMBERS: COKE, PEPSI ET AL The FDA broke the law by approving 
aspartame for carbonated beverages. NSDA has full knowledge they are 
violating this law by adding aspartame to soft drinks. After protesting it 
was illegal they flipped and lobbied for NutraSweet. 
  
Senior FDA toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross, tried to prevent approval and 
testified in Congress aspartame violated the then existing Delaney amendment 
forbidding any carcinogen in food products and named brain tumors. he said; 
"And if the FDA itself elects to violate the law, who is left to protect the 
public?" Congressional Record SID85:131 (8/1/85) 
  
A study by Trocho, Pardo, et al demonstrated significant amounts of 
formaldehyde accumulate in the tissues. Formaldehyde binds strongly to 
proteins and nucleic acids, forming adducts extremely difficult to eliminate 
through normal metabolic pathways. Formaldehyde accumulated in high 
concentrations in the liver and in substantial concentrations in the kidney, 
adipose tissue, brain and retina. Aspartame is do-it-yourself embalming! 
(Formaldehyde derived from dietary aspartame binds to tissue components in 
vivo. Life Sciences 63: 337-349, 1998.) 
  
CRIME BY CDC In l984 they investigated consumer aspartame complaints 
including aggression, disorientation, hyperactivity, liver impairment, panic 
attacks, seizures, suicidal tendencies, severe mood swings, memory loss, 
numbness, cardiac arrest, loss of depth perception and DEATH. Then Fred 
Trowbridge wrote a criminal executive summary contradicting the data and 
directly violating Title 18, Section 1001. His summary claimed these findings 
were mild. Mild cardiac arrest; Mild Death! Now CDC responds to citizen 
inquiries with only this fraudulent summary. 
  
CRIME BY FDA The FDA distributes to the public and physicians the 
International Food Information Council brochure 
(http://www.dorway.com/offasprt.html (or .txt) which contains false and 
misleading information. It tells consumers aspartame was proven safe when it 
triggers brain, pancreatic, mammary, uterine, ovarian and testicular tumors, 
atrophied testes and grand mal seizures. See Dr. Gross' letters on web. See 
FDA's own audit, the Bressler Report. 
  
The FDA's own list of 10,000 consumer complaints list 92 symptoms triggered 
by aspartame including 4 types of seizures, coma and death. Aspartame is 50% 
phenylalanine which invades the brain, lowers the seizure threshold and 
depletes serotonin. Lowered serotonin can trigger manic depression, suicidal 
tendencies, rage, panic attacks, anxiety, mood swings, etc. Surgeon General 
Satcher says 22% of the population suffer from mental problems. American 
toddlers are taking Prozac and Ritalin. 
  
CRIME BY MONSANTO Monsanto (bought Searle in l985) recently sold NutraSweet. 
Monsanto propaganda and funding of trade organizations to spread misleading 
information violated Title 18. Doctors are unable to diagnose patients 
because they don't know aspartame is addictive, interacts with other drugs 
and changes brain chemistry triggering deadly symptoms and fatal diseases. 
Aspartame hardens the synovial fluids producing agonizing joint pain. 
Patients are misdiagnosed as having fibromyalgia (a diagnostic wastebucket). 
  
CRIME BY ASSOCIATIONS The FDA and the organizations like the American 
Diabetes Association, the American Dietetics Association, Juvenile Diabetes 
Foundation, AMA, MS and Lupus foundations who are funded by NutraSweet and 
spread their misinformation are in criminal violation of Title 18. 
  
Dr. H. J. Roberts paper on aspartame addiction shows Monsanto and the FDA 
have made drug addicts of 100 million consumers in this country alone. 
Methanol is classified as a narcotic in Louis R. J. Sax's Dangerous 
Properties of Industrial Materials, Eighth Edition, New York, Van Nostrand 
Reinhold (1992) pp. 2251-2252. And aspartame which also triggers birth 
defects is even in children's products like Pedialyte and medication. 
  
James Bowen, M.D., (http://www.dorway.com/drbowen.txt) declared to FDA: "This 
has resulted in the mass poisoning of the American public as well as 
seventy-plus countries in the rest of the world. ....the only responsible 
action would be to immediately take aspartame off the market, fully disclose 
its toxicities, offer full compensation to the injured, public and criminally 
prosecute anyone who participated in the fraudulent placement of aspartame on 
the marketplace." 
  
1. Aspartame was added illegally to carbonated beverages. 2. Since it breaks 
down in beverages blanket approval granted in l996 should be repealed. 3. 
Since aspartame approval broke the criminal code, a major investigation 
should be initiated. Even the Dr. Michael Friedman of the FDA, whom we sent 
case histories too was hired by Monsanto in June. Perhaps they should simply 
call FDA, Monsanto's Washington Branch office. 4. An injunction should be 
immediately issued to suspend the sale of the NutraSweet Company to prevent 
transfer of liability. 
  
Mrs. Reno, is there a crime more gigantic than genocide? If you allow 
Monsanto, the FDA, CDC, Coke, Pepsi and organizations to operate outside the 
law and intentionally mislead the public why not open the prisons to allow 
ordinary criminals freedom? 
  
I am asking this open letter be spread the world over and published, and 
copies be sent to every Attorney General in the United States. Also, I'm 
asking for those knowledgeable of the many studies I've been told were never 
published on aspartame that caused disability and death to come forward. 
These informants should write me at 5950 H State Bridge Road, PMB 215, 
Duluth, Georgia 30097, and case histories should iii be sent to this address.

A SWIFTLY TILTING PLANET
Global warming may have a new foe:  the aerospace industry.  According to
recent calculations from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, rapid
melting of the Antarctic ice caps may skew the earth's rotation by a few
thousandths of a degree -- not enough to cause earthquakes or other
geophysical effects, but more than enough to scramble the world's network
of communications satellites.  Particularly hard-hit will be the Global
Positioning Satellite system, which allows users to identify their
locations to within a few meters; the orbital shift could cause these
satellites to be off by as much as a third of a kilometer.  More than a
quarter of all communications satellites could be rendered useless, and
virtually all will have to be reprogrammed.  "This is a major problem for
the satellite industry," said Raytheon spokesperson Marjorie Scrodhurst,
"and it may be every bit as troublesome as the Y2K bug."
