Hello Folks,
I am here once again with lots of uplifting good news! Your diet coke is killing
you!
You heard that right. If you are drinking any kind of diet cola or drink, or
consuming any sugar free gum, or any sugar substitute like Equal, Nutrasweet or
Spoonful, I got news for you.
This article can save you or your loved ones from serious illnesses like brain
tumors, leukemia, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, epilepsy, birth
defects, chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson's and many more! So I suggest you
start paying attention and share it with as many people as you can.
Ok, here is the background:
The substance that is used to sweeten your diet drink and sugar free foods
(including Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, Kool Aid, Listerine Strips, different sugar
free gums etc) is called Aspartame. Aspartame is also the technical name for
brand names like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful and other sugar alternatives.
Aspartame was discovered by accident in 1965 by a chemist of G.D Searle Company.
G.D Searle tried to get approval from the FDA in United States in 1974 but
failed due to objections from a neuroscience researcher named Dr John Olney and
a consumer attorney named James Turner. For the time being, the FDA put the
approval on hold to carry out further investigation. However, aspartame was
allowed on 1981 for dry goods and 1983 for carbonated beverages.
Aspartame is, by far, the most dangerous substance on the market that is added
to foods. It is responsible for headaches/migraines, heart palpitations,
fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision problems, breathing
difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, seizures, nausea, numbness,
muscle spasms, weight gain, depression, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain.
According to recent studies it is also responsible for triggering or worsening
brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, birth defects, epilepsy, chronic fatigue
syndrome, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, mental retardation, and diabetes.
So why was aspartame approved by the FDA? Well, for many years FDA not only
refused to approve it, but took G. D. Searle to court indicting them under Title
18, Section 1001 for "their willful and knowing failure to make reports to the
FDA required... and for concealing material facts and making false statements in
reports of animal studies conducted to establish the safety of aspartame."
You know why? Because in 1969, Searle conducted a study with Dr Harry Waisman on
the effects of aspartame on primates. Seven baby monkeys were given Aspartame in
milk. One died after 300 days; five others had grand mal seizures. Searle
eliminated these findings when they submitted this study to the FDA!
So that's pretty huge right? And Searle should have been stopped from producing
this dangerous chemical forever right? Unfortunately there was a famous man in
this story who had very high stakes in Aspartame.
The CEO of G D Searle at the time was Donald Rumsfeld (retired defense secretary
for the Bush administration who de facto led the Iraq war)! Mr Rumsfeld said he
would ensure that aspartame gets approved even though the FDA said no. He was
also on President Reagan's transition team at the time.
The story of how Rumsfeld accomplished this was told by the attorney James
Turner in a documentary on aspartame called "Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World" you
can visit the site here:
www.soundandfury.tv/pages/sweet%20misery.html
And here are some videos where you can see Mr Turner narrate the story of how
greed kills millions of people for years to come!

In 1985, the G.D Searle Company was bought over by Monsanto. The first thing
Monsanto did was make the Searle Pharmaceuticals and NutraSweet Company separate
subsidiaries.
Now Monsanto is also one of the world's biggest companies that produce
genetically modified foods and other chemicals that go into foods and food
production. Monsanto is also known for producing pesticides.
Now we are talking about a multi billion dollar industry called the diet drink
industry. Just like CFC (which almost destroyed the earths climate because of
its long term destructive properties yet was popularized for more than 40 years
as the magic chemical that makes money yet is environment friendly, until we had
the Ozone Hole) and Trans-fats (that clog your arteries and makes you obese and
responsible for numerous other diseases yet millions of people around the world
are eating KFC), Aspartame also is very preciously protected because its HIGHLY
PROFITABLE!
In 1992 the Flying Safety Magazine published articles about the dangers of
Aspartame and mentioned that some people could be immediately affected by
Aspartame with as small doses as a chewing gum. And here is the most interesting
piece of information:
Major airline pilots are not allowed drink or consume Aspartame containing
goods! You know why? Because it increases the risk of headaches, seizures, heart
palpitations, depression, slurred speech, loss of memory, loss of sensation in
lower legs, loss of equilibrium, vertigo, anxiety attacks, chronic fatigue,
vision loss, etc. How nice is that? Now you can stop worrying because even if
you might be killing yourself with Aspartame poisoning, you should be happy
knowing that at least you are going to reach your destination in one piece.
Now I know, in your mind you might be thinking well, diet drinks at least keep
your weight in check! Right? Well, does it really?
Aspartame has actually been known to contribute to weight problem and obesity
even though it is used in diet drinks. Of course it doesn't cause over weight
issues the same way that sugar does, but it causes obesity by creating some very
harmful toxic materials in the body. It also makes you crave carbohydrates which
makes you gain weight. These toxins are often stored by the body in fat
particularly on the hips and thighs. Not surprising that millions of overweight
people around the world are drinking diet Coke, Pepsi and other drinks for years
and still not loosing any weight!
In the famous book Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills, Russell Blaylock, a
neurosurgeon, says aspartame may trigger clinical diabetes! He says that
excitotoxins such as NutraSweet literally stimulate neurons to death, causing
brain damage of varying degrees. "What really concerns me about aspartame," he
says, "is its association with brain tumors as well as pancreatic, uterine and
ovarian tumors. ... and that so many develop an Alzheimers-like syndrome with
prolonged exposure."
Dr Blaylock also commented: "The new study released in the European Journal of
oncology by Morando Soffritti and co-workers should terrify mothers and all
those consuming aspartame sweetened products..."
"This study confirmed the previous study by Dr. Trocho and co-workers, which
also found the formaldehyde breakdown product of aspartame to be damaging to
cellular DNA and that this damage was accumulative. The type of damage was a
duplicate of that associated with cancers. Along with this most recent study,
this means that drinking a single diet cola sweetened with aspartame every day
could increase one's risk of developing a lymphoma or leukemia."
Unfortunately, even as I write this today, millions of people around the world
are sipping on their "sugar free" and "zero calorie" poison. Every year millions
of dollars are spent on marketing and advertising diet drinks with slim and
petite women in on the billboards and TV. Little do the ignorant consumers
realize that they are paying with their health, their children's health, and
their grandchildren's health everyday to make people like Rumsfeld and companies
like Searle and NutraSweet richer and richer.
On the other hand people like me, Dr Betty Martini (who is the world leader in
exposing the ill effects of chemical sweeteners) and hundreds of others are
trying their best to reach as many people as possible around the world. But we
are up against billions of dollars worth combined advertising and marketing
budget of the diet drink companies, processed food companies etc.
How much chance do we have to break through the noise of these mega budget
campaigns? I don't know. But I would like to believe that we are making a
difference... That you would read this letter today and never touch any
aspartame related product ever again. That you would take the initiative to tell
as many people as you can in person, on the phone, via email, in the next office
meeting or whatever else you can think of. If you do that, we take a step
forward and we shall win. If you don't, then all of this effort is worthless.
Think about it.
If you would like to help the movement and help thousands, if not millions of
people around the planet, Forward this email to at least 5 of your friends, family or loved ones.
Lastly, here is one book about natural protection and cure from cancer that I
highly recommend you look at:
"Natural Cancer Treatments" is the most comprehensive book of its kind you will
find anywhere in the world. Over 350 treatments and 400 pages fully-indexed with
a comprehensive table of contents to quickly locate information that is relevant
to you, your friend, or a loved one. Get it here:

Spread the word and let more and more people live a life of health, abundance
and happiness!
I wish you and your loved ones a happy, healthy, poison free day.
