ASPARTAME NAME GAME! NOW YOU SEE IT...NOW YOU DON'T! SCARY!
A Message From THE REBEL
A Product of PEP Productions, LLC
AminoSweet / Aspartame
New kid on the block:
We're familiar with aspartame (NutraSweet/Equal). But, what is AminoSweet? Is it aspartame renamed? I asked this question of Mary Stoddard, who has been 'Spokesperson and Founder' of the international aspartame awareness campaign since1987, with her all volunteer non-profit organization, Aspartame Consumer Safety Network and Pilot Hotline.
Ms. Stoddard's explanation of AminoSweet:
"I'm finding it a bit frustrating doing in-depth research on this crazy redo of aspartame. It's my understanding that it has the same formula, with a different name. I've been looking up the labeling requirements and legal ramifications of this.
"My logical thought is that nothing has changed but the name. However, knowing the FDA as I do, the labeling requirement may have been eliminated arbitrarily. The autonomous nature of the agency gives them almost carte blanche. Even Congress cannot do anything but rule on labeling requirements. This might be a good thing, if we had a truly independent-thinking FDA. But, members of the agency are so tied in with corporations whose products they approve and regulate, that this does not work.
"As to why the name was changed? I like to think our efforts have had something to do with that unprecedented action being taken by the NutraSweet company. Aspartame and NutraSweet are words that denote something unhealthy now. Our awareness campaign is working after almost a quarter of a century - so well, in fact, that we are our own worst enemy. So much so that, in order to conceal the harmful nature of the established brand, the name is being changed to something they perceive to be more benign. In reality, we have studies showing artificial amino acids (those produced in a lab) in isolated form (not in the presence of other ameliorating amino acids, as found in nature) is a dangerous path to follow. In my estimation, actions such as this one, serve to further pollute our food supply and that of our precious children. In a fool-hearty rush to 'improve' upon nature and increase the profitability of our manufactured food supply, we are possibly damaging it beyond the point of no return, through greed.
"I'm quite certain Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, never imagined the genetic and chemically altered state of our current food supply when he wrote, "Let food be your medicine and let medicine be your food."
"We do know that artificial sweeteners 'trick the tongue and body' into thinking natural sugars are entering the digestive system. Upon discovery of having been deceived, the body goes into a sort of shutdown mode to regroup and prepare for an invasion by a foreign body. Thus forcing the system into an unnatural action of having to revamp and deal the best it can with a fake food crisis - every time aspartame is ingested, this fire drill is repeated - creating a new, false 'norm.'
"Until I find something further, telling me I am off base, I'll go with 'nothing has changed except the name.' Sounds more like an AminoSour to me!"
Thank you to Ms. Stoddard for her insight into the name change of aspartame to AminoSweet.
The Burden Is Ours:
As Ms. Stoddard says, since we can't depend on the FDA to give us unbiased information, the burden falls on our shoulders. Read the labels! If you see any of these words, AminoSweet, NutraSweet, Equal, aspartame, know that these are chemicals that weaken your immune system. Avoid them!! Children particularly should not consume foods or drinks with these ingredients. Remember to look at other items as well, such as chewing gum, medications, and vitamins. Bottom line, anything that goes in the mouth should be checked to see if any of these ingredients are on the label.
Buyer's Choice:
It's our choice to purchase – or not to purchase – these products. To protect your health, I say, "Avoid these products!"

INTERNATIONAL #ASPARTAME HEADLINE NEWS ARCHIVES
Indonesian Govt. may ban aspartame in food
National News - January 09, 2007
The Jakarta Post, JakartaThe government is currently reviewing regulations allowing the use of several controversial sweeteners in food products sold in Indonesia.
The review, which forms part of a decades-long worldwide debate on use of three particular sweeteners -- aspartame, saccharin and cyclamate -- is expected to be completed later this month.
"We may remove artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame, saccharin and cyclamate, from the Health Ministry's decree ... about allowable food additives," said Drug and Food Monitoring Agency (BPOM) head Husniah R.T. Akib.
The review will receive input from the BPOM,the Health Ministry, the State Ministry for Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises, the Industry Ministry and the Trade Ministry, as well as experts from universities and non-government organizations.
The food and beverage industry, the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and several consumer groups are also involved in the process.
"We are looking at the various opinions around the world on these sweeteners. If stakeholders and people believe those three substitutes are health hazards, we will ban them," Husniah said.
"We, the regulators, don't have any problems with the possible ban. The industries unfortunately will," she added.
BPOM data shows Codex Alimentarius -- a set of internationally recognized standards, codes of practice, guidelines and other recommendations relating to foods, food production and food safety -- as well as the European Union and Britain still allow the use of the three sweeteners in food production and consumption.
In Asia, Japan and Malaysia do not allow use of the sweeteners. Japan bans aspartame and cyclamate while Malaysia only prohibits cyclamate.
"In addition to Codex Alimentarius, we also refer to world agencies such as the World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization and the FDA," Husniah said.
"There is no way can we do research on every one of the two million products in the country. We only monitor products available in markets," she added.
University experts said studies on aspartame and other artificial sweeteners in Indonesia were rare.
The use of aspartame as a sweetener was allowed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States for the first time in 1981. This decision came under question, however, with the release of studies finding aspartame to be carcinogenic.
Cyclamate was discovered in 1937 and recognized as safe for consumption in the U.S. by 1958. However, it was banned by the FDA in 1969 when reports surfaced linking it with cancer.
Likewise, the use of saccharin has also been disputed. Canada banned it in 1977 after a study found the prevalence of bladder cancer in rats that had been fed large doses of the sweetener. The FDA also imposed a ban, though lifted it in 1991.
"Doubts about aspartame among FDA scientists were overruled by the FDA's management and it was given approval. Many countries soon followed suit and approved aspartame on the basis of the same flawed studies," Roger Williams, a British parliamentarian, told the The Guardian on Dec. 15, 2005.
A 1996 review of past research conducted on aspartame found that every industry-funded study had said the sweetener was safe to consume. However 92 percent of independent studies claim one or more problems exist with its use, the British newspaper reported.
Other artificial sweeteners currently approved by the BPOM include acesulfame-K, alitame, neotame and sucralose, as well as natural substances such as isomalt, xylitol, maltitol, mannitol, sorbitol and lactitol. (06)

FOUNDER OF PILOT HOTLINE FOR ASPARTAME ADVERSE REACTION REPORTS
Pilots on AspartameInterview on WOR Radio NYCFollowing from WOR Radio HOST/ Dr. Robert Atkins
Interview w/Mary Nash Stoddard:
All right, let's start taking calls you're on WOR, let's talk to Herb on Long Island.
Herb: Hello, Dr. Bob, I'd just like to relay a story about my daughter who just happened to be the first female jet pilot in the USAF. About five years ago, she came home on Thanksgiving weekend leave and she drank a lot of diet sodas. She had a bad spell here. A weak spell. But, when she got back to base, she went through a medical, and they determined that she had heart palpitations and arrhythmia.
Dr. Atkins : Were they alert to the possibility at this point in history, five years ago of diet sodas being the cause? Did they themselves think of diet sodas as the possible problem?
Herb: Yes. And, they determined that it might be the diet sodas and the artificial sweeteners.
Dr. Atkins: Mary, you should, take credit for that, I think. For giving that index of suspicion to everybody connected with caring for pilots that that is a possibility.
Mary : That's wonderful. We have done a lot of work with the FAA. Off the record, they are with us. But, on the record they can't say anything.
Herb: Also, in her group, in the Air Force, there were other pilots who were grounded because of heart problems. They discontinued using all their artificial sweeteners for one month and their flying status was restored to them. My daughter's retired now.
Dr. Atkins: Let's talk to Joy in New Jersey, Joy, you're on WOR.
Joy: Yes, good evening, Dr. Atkins and Ms. Stoddard. I experienced a severe problem with aspartame about ten years ago. I put it in my coffee. Within three minutes, I had such a headache I couldn't stand on my feet. I had palpitations and dizziness. I was deathly sick. I thought I was going to end up in the hospital. _____________

The Sweetener Games Starring: THE MULTIPLE ASPARTAMES
The Organic View Radio Show Host June Stoyer Interviews Hon. Mary Nash Stoddard
<https://youtu.be/e9Ff2fihtz0>
April 9, 2015 -- Did you know Aspartame now legally masquerades under many faux names and titles? With FDA's blessing often under-the-radar, since some of the newer versions, like Neotame, do not require labeling. Learn the latest here. Don't be bamboozled by the Flim-Flam tactics of the non-nutritive, zero calorie, sweetener manufacturers. For them, salvation lies in their being able to fool consumers into buying toxic products. The consumer isn't told these sweeteners contain 10% Methanol (Wood Alcohol), by weight. So, for example, each can of diet soda contains approximately 200 mg of Aspartame, which means they contain 20 mg of pure, unadulterated Methyl Alcohol, which transforms further into deadly Formaldehyde. It's obvious by their actions, they think consumers are stupid - too ignorant to differentiate between those products that will harm their families and which are the clearly nutritious, healthy ones. You can prove them wrong. We tell you how in this carefully-researched interview.
Learn what to look for on Labels. If you buy one with Aspartame by accident, take it back to the store. If manufacturers continue losing money on a product, they will cease production. Vote with your wallet!
How many food products have been recalled from people getting sick on an Aspartame-sweetened item? They always blame something else, of course, since the symptoms may be similiar, who will dispute them? So many weird syndromes and unheard of until now diseases/conditions have popped up since the advent of Aspartame? Let's start with the epidemic of Childhood Obesity. Look at the statistics. This was virtually non-existent prior to the early 80s when pregnant women included Aspartame-sweetened foods and drinks into their diets. Research has proven Aspartame can be a powerful trigger for weight gain in children and adults.
Many cases of Aspartame poisoning are hustled off into hard-to-diagnose disease/syndrome categories, where they can stay buried. Allow me to present this example, for your thoughtful consideration. One of these possibilities is (the almost non-existent, prior to the 80s) Lyme disease. It's a well-known fact: consumers can't sue a Tick! And, there's no definitive test to diagnose it. Incredibly, Fibromyalgia patients often get well simply by eliminating Aspartame from their diets. What's that all about! We know and now you can, too. And, on and on.

ASPARTAME INGESTION AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FUNCTION IMPAIRMENT
Aspartame Linked by Researchers
to Depression and Suicide In Pilots and Others
Mary Nash Stoddard
Founder Aspartame Consumer Safety Network [1987] www.aspartamesafety.com
DALLAS - October 2, 2006 - Aspartame Consumer Safety Network [Dallas-based all volunteer international organization], is increasingly concerned with the more sinister reported psychological side effects of aspartame ingestion. One aspartame component, phenylalanine (50% of the molecule) has been shown in the laboratory to block production of a necessary neurotransmitter, serotonin, which controls sleep patterns and moods.
Many daily users of products containing the sweetener such as diet drinks, gums, etc. report both manic and suicidal depressions among other symptoms. Aspartame also breaks down in heat and in the body to the highly addictive depressant, methanol (10% wood alcohol), formaldehyde [embalming fluid], formic acid and diketopiperazine (a documented brain tumor agent.)
For the record, 92 aspartame-related symptoms, including 5 deaths, have been reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Fully 75% of all complaints to the US FDA implicate the artificial sweetener, aspartame, better known as: NutraSweet, Canderel, Equal, etc.
Even subtle alterations of brain patterns in aspartame users may be deemed significant, according to these prominent brain researchers:
Richard Wurtman, M.D., head of Brain Science at MIT says, "There is evidence that levels of serotonin or 5-HIAA are subnormal in CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) samples from violent psychiatric patients and in brains of people who died by suicide." 1
"In rats, the administration of glucose and aspartame by gavage increased brain levels of tyrosine and phenylalanine and decreased brain serotonin concentration. It has been argued that these changes in brain amino acid and biogenic amine levels in rats may have important behavioral implications for humans." 2
Ralph Walton, M.D., a respected researcher at the Department of Psychiatry, Northeastern Ohio Univ. College of Medicine and Director of Research Western Reserve Care System, states, "We conclude that individuals with mood disorders are particularly sensitive to this artificial sweetener and its use in this population should be discouraged." 3
Lane Lenard, Ph.D. wrote: "In one meta-analysis, five out of seven studies reported reduced levels of serotonin and/or 5-HIAA in the brain stems of suicide victims."
Neurologist, Russell Blaylock, writes that, "In the case of children, the damage done at the time of initial exposure produces no obvious outward effects. However, when the child reaches a later stage of development, the damage may present itself as an emotion control disorder [violent episodes, schizophrenia, paranoia]. Hundreds of millions of children are at great risk and their parents are not even aware of it. Early exposure to excitotoxins [aspartame] could cause a tendency for episodic violence and criminal behavior in later years." 5
Aspartame (aka NutraSweet/Equal), as shown in the literature, can be a powerful, mind-altering drug - driving some over the abyss into dark, sinister depressions they can not shake, even with the use of antidepressants. Suicide, for many individuals may seem to be the only way out.
On a brighter note, abstinence from aspartame has been reported to have a miraculous effect on some, allowing for a happier existence and the ability to cope with life's normal problems in a non threatening way. A clear understanding of this issue may mean the difference between life and death for some.

SUFFERING FROM TINNITUS? (RINGING IN THE EARS) - DITCH THE #ASPARTAME!
Dear Editor:Our organization, Aspartame Consumer Safety Network and Pilot Hotline (since 1987) has many studies, along with personal testimonials (often the best barometer of what's going on!) in our files that prove the artificial sugars, Aspartame (and Neotame) can also be triggers for Tinnitus. I even have a letter in my files from the 1980s, written by the head of the American Tinnitus Association on its letterhead, that Aspartame causes (and exacerbates) ringing in the ears for many. Often, when the sweetener is avoided, but ingested again by accidental exposure, the ringing returns. Not difficult to explain, when one realizes that every molecule of Aspartame consists of more than 10% Methanol, or wood alcohol, which breaks down in the body into Formaldehyde, Formic Acid and other neurotoxic substances. MSG is mentioned for its Glutamic Acid Content. Rightly so. However, Aspartame is 40% Aspartic Acid, effects of which are the same as Glutamic Acid in humans.We must therefore conclude that whether intentionally or accidentally omitted, Aspartame is the 800 lb. gorilla in this article nobody mentioned. ATA's acknowledgement of this fact on several occasions in past publications (Newsletters, etc.) have been a great service to readers suffering from this sometimes debilitating condition. This article seems remiss in this one area, unfortunately. — Respectfully, Mary Nash Stoddard/author Deadly Deception Story of Aspartame (Odenwald Press 1998)Mary Nash Stoddard, June 18, 2012 at 9:48 am
