Re: Emailing: nutrasweet.htm

On that page I sent there were links to pages against Splenda. this is the

first I had heard of anyone saying anything bad about it. I guess there are

people who can not tolerate some of these but I believe they are safe for

most people. That is like the report I heard some years ago about how bad

microwave cooking is for you.

Wayne,

The information about diet soft drinks containing nutrasweet turning into

formaldehyde at high temperatures is bogus information.

It is meant to scare you, and is not scientifically proven at all.

it is a chemical, and research has shown that it's chemical makeup changes

based off temperature so he is not entirely inaccurate. Long term use of

nutra sweet has been linked to many neurological disorders. Just do a google

on it and read up on it. Researchers state that Nutra sweet was designed to

be used/drank occasionally, like 1 pop a day, and Americans abuse it

heavily. Most drink 3 to 5 pops a day and they are huge portions. Ever got a

large diet coke from Mcs? BTW I am not anti nutra sweet, I use it

myself.

I did not find any thing on quackwatch about nutrasweet, so I will have to

check it out in the hoax files web site. Wayne, just because a company

sponsors the development of a product doesn't mean it is flawed. I would

agree that a certain amount of bias or prejudice is built into the research,

but it still does not mean that the product is flawed. Since practically

all the medications we take were developed by a sponsoring company, and I am

sure most of the final products have some research bias included in the

reports on the product, but still this does not mean the product itself is

flawed.

Still searching for answers,

Harry

I did not find any thing about nutrasweet in the hoax sections of urban

legends either. Help me out here. Tell me where you read about the

Monsanto company and nutrasweet causing formaldehyde at high temperatures.

Now I am off to a google search for monsanto and nutrasweet.

Wayne,

I checked with google and I have found several thousands of references.

Here is a sample below:

Return To

Aspartame ( Nutrasweet ) Toxicity Information Center Main Page

(case histories of aspartame poisoning, scientific docs, statements from

experts, healthier sweeteners)

In 1997 there was an increase in aspartame users reporting severe toxicity

reactions and damage such as seizures, eye damage and vision loss,

confusion,

severe migraines, tremors, depression, anxiety attacks, insomnia, etc. In

the same years, Ralph Walton, MD, Chairman, The Center for Behavioral

Medicine

showed that the only studies which didn't find problems with aspartame where

those funded by the manufacturer (Monsanto). Given the agreement amongst

independent

scientists about the toxicity of aspartame, the only question was whether

the formaldehyde exposure from aspartame caused the toxicity. That question

has

now been largely answered because of research in the late 1990s.

The following facts shown by recent scientific research:

List of 6 items

1. Aspartame (nutrasweet) breaks down into methanol (wood alcohol).

2. Methanol quickly converts to formadehyde in the body.

3. Formaldehyde causes gradual and eventually severe damage to the

neurological system, immune system and causes permanent genetic damage at

extremely low

doses.

4. Methanol from alcoholic beverages and from fruit and juices does not

convert to formaldehyde and cause damage because there are protective

chemicals

in these traditionally ingested beverages.

5. The most recent independent research in Europe demonstrates that

ingestion of small amounts of aspartame leads to the accumulation of

significant levels

of formaldehyde (bound to protein) in organs (liver, kidneys, brain) and

tissues.

6. Excitotoxic amino acids such as the one which is immediately released

from aspartame likely increases the damage caused by the formaldehyde.

list end

Readers are urged to followup by printing and reading the extensive and

heavily-referenced discussion related to aspartame and methanol/formaldehyde

poisoning

(suitable for scientists and laypersons) at:

http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/abuse/.

This document details the research showing formaldehyde toxicity from

aspartame and demonstrates the techniques the manufacturer used to help hide

these

facts. Finally, an updated

discussion of formaldehyde dosage from aspartame

has been added to answer questions raised by what appears to be a

manufacturer public relations campaign. Please read this document only after

reading the

first methanol/formaldehyde document linked to above.

Keywords:

nutrasweet

Monsanto

Harry note follows:

I am still sifting through a lot of these references I have found via

google.

So far I observe that nutrasweet causes damage to some rats and some people

when taken large doses. It has a cumulative damaging effect when consumed

over a long span of time. Also it does not happen with certain substances

present. I cannot help but think of alcoholics being treated with Antabuse,

a pill designed to cause the alcoholic to become sick when he/she consumes

alcohol and it usually works. However with some alcoholics they soon

discovered that they could prevent the alcohol from being turned into

formaldehyde by a combination of alcohol and antabuse by ingesting large

quantities of vitamin C.

I came to this observation when I read the following quoted from above.

" 4. Methanol from alcoholic beverages and from fruit and juices does not

convert to formaldehyde and cause damage because there are protective

chemicals

in these traditionally ingested beverages. "

Well, I will keep on searching for now and I will keep on using Stevia as my

sweetener. I am not yet convinced that nutrasweet is causing damage to me,

but who knows. I am sure the lawyers love this one. Sign up for your share

of the class action suit now, if you have drank any diet drinks at all with

nutrasweet in it.

Wayne,

Here is what I found from the urban legends post:

Urban Myth- Nutrasweet Aspartame Conspiracy

Claim: The artificial sweetener aspartame is responsible for an epidemic of

diseases such as multiple sclerosis and lupus.

Status: False.

Example: [Collected on the Internet, 1998]

I have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on

" ASPARTAME marketed as 'NutraSweet', 'Equal', and 'Spoonful " '. In the

keynote

address by the EPA, they announced that there was an epidemic of multiple

sclerosis and systemic lupus, and they did not understand what toxin was

causing

this to be rampant across the United States. I explained that I was there to

lecture on exactly that subject.

When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol

ASPARTAME coverts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn

causes

metabolic acidosis. (Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire

ants). The methanol toxicity mimics multiple sclerosis; thus people are

being

diagnosed with having multiple sclerosis in error. The multiple sclerosis is

not a death sentence, where methanol toxicity is.

In the case of systemic lupus, we are finding it has become almost as

rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers.

Also,

with methanol toxicity, the victims usually drink three to four 12 oz. cans

of them per day, some even more. In the cases of systemic lupus, which is

triggered

by ASPARTAME, the victim usually does not know that the aspartame is the

culprit. The victim continues its use aggravating the lupus to such a

degree,

that sometimes it becomes life threatening.

When we get people off the aspartame, those with systemic lupus usually

become asymptomatic. Unfortunately, we can not reverse this disease. On the

other

hand, in the case of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, (when in

reality, the disease is methanol toxicity), most of the symptoms disappear.

We have

seen cases where their vision has returned and even their hearing has

returned. This also applies to cases of tinnitus. During a lecture I said

" If you

are using ASPARTAME (NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc.) and you suffer from

fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting pains, numbness in your legs,

cramps,

vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, depression, anxiety

attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss -- you probably have

ASPARTAME

DISEASE! "

People were jumping up during the lecture saying, " I've got this, is it

reversible? " It is rampant. Some of the speakers at my lecture even were

suffering

from these symptoms. In one lecture attended by the Ambassador of Uganda, he

told us that their sugar industry is adding aspartame! He continued by

saying

that one of the industry leader's son could no longer walk - due in part by

product usage!

We have a very serious problem. Even a stranger came up to Dr. Espisto (one

of my speakers) and myself and said, 'Could you tell me why so many people

seem

to be coming down with MS? During a visit to a hospice, a nurse said that

six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed

with MS. This is beyond coincidence.

At the time of its first drug hearing, people were going blind. The methanol

in the aspartame converts to formaldehyde in the retina of the eye.

Formaldehyde

is grouped in the same class of drugs as cyanide and arsenic DEADLY

POISONS!!! Unfortunately, it just takes longer to quietly kill, but it is

killing people

and causing all kinds of neurological problems. Aspartame changes the

brain's chemistry. It is the reason for severe seizures. This drug changes

the dopamine

level in the brain. Imagine what this drug does to patients suffering from

Parkinson's Disease. This drug also causes Birth Defects.

There is absolutely no reason to take this product. It is NOT A DIET

PRODUCT!!! The Congressional record said, " It makes you crave carbohydrates

and will

make you FAT " . Dr. stated that when he got patients off aspartame,

their average weight loss was 19 pounds per person. The formaldehyde stores

in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs.

Aspartame is especially deadly for diabetics. All physicians know what wood

alcohol will do to a diabetic. We find that physicians believe that they

have

patients with retinopathy, when in fact, it is caused by the aspartame. The

aspartame keeps the blood sugar level out of control, causing many patients

to go into a coma. Unfortunately, many have died. People were telling us at

the Conference of the American College of Physicians, that they had

relatives

that switched from saccharin to an aspartame product and how that relative

had eventually gone into a coma. Their physicians could not get the blood

sugar

levels under control. Thus, the patients suffered acute memory loss and

eventually coma and death.

We ask that you help too. Print this article out and warn everyone you know.

Take anything that contains aspartame back to the store. Take the " NO

ASPARTAME

TEST " and send us your case history.

Origins of this Urban Myth:

Well, if you can't trust an anonymous e-mail message filled with words

rendered in all CAPITAL LETTERS and containing liberal doses of exclamation

points,

warning you about some widespread and imminent danger, what can you trust?

From whence comes this information? For one thing, it's not new -- this text

was written by one Betty i back in 1995. And who is this Betty

i?

Well, she's not a doctor, biologist, chemist, or any other type of

scientist -- she is the founder of Mission Possible International, an

organization dedicated

to " spreading the word that aspartame is a toxic poison unfit for human

consumption. "

Now, Ms. i may be earnest and sincere, but her screed is full of

flawed logic, scientific errors, and outright misinformation. We're not

going to

attempt to go through it point by point, nor are we going to claim that

aspartame is either a health hazard or absolutely 100% non-harmful in any

amount.

What we will assert is that there is simply nothing remotely approaching a

consensus in the medical/scientific community that aspartame is (or even

could

be) responsible for an " epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus "

or many of the other evils attributed to it above.

February 17, 2004

After reading the post below are you frightened away from diet drinks with

nutrasweet in it?

Did you believe the post?

Just consider this quote:

" Aspartame is especially deadly for diabetics. All physicians know what wood

alcohol will do to a diabetic. We find that physicians believe that they

have

patients with retinopathy, when in fact, it is caused by the aspartame. The

aspartame keeps the blood sugar level out of control, causing many patients

had eventually gone into a coma. Their physicians could not get the blood

sugar

levels under control. Thus, the patients suffered acute memory loss and

eventually coma and death. "

Well, don't be frightened folks! A logical analysis of the statements shows

that it is false at its core.

Have you lost control over your blood sugars due to nutrasweet is a question

you really need to ask yourself.

For me the answer to this question is a resounding NO!

hhi here is a ddiabeetic who hasdd a lot of trouble controling his sugar while

using equil or nutrosweet my sugar would bounce all over the place I then

stopped using it and within a month my sugar was a lot more manigable. that is

my story and I will stick to it. friends wqayne

I know several diabetics who have extremely high sugars from nutrasweet and

can ot drink it. Their a1c levels are 4.5 to 5.2 and when they drank a diet

pop with nutra sweet, their blood sugar went up the 330 to 350 range and

hung there for 6 hours each pop they drank. It was just the way it

chemically interacted with their body chemistry.

Not mine though *smile*

I do not doubt that you do know several diabetics who have this particular

reaction to nutrasweet. Still I would like for one of them to post their

experience here.

I remember when I thought I was drinking a diet Pepsi, and my sugar level

shot up to over 300. I got upset, and tried to figure out why. On

rummaging through the trash can and coming up with the can of diet Pepsi I

thought I had drank, it turned out that it was a regular can of Pepsi with

40 or so carbs in it.

I know there are people who have sensitivities to Nutrasweet, since I am

well aquainted with my daughter who suffered with migraine headaches, and

when she stopped using nutrasweet in any form her headaches went away, and

they have never returned.
