Guest guest Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 E2 Dr Rao et al ASPARTAME 1974 August report: Dr Rao et al fed animals for 4 weeks with SC 18862 (ASPARTAME) This report or research if you can call it by this grandiose title was to feed animals for a VERY short period of time with large amounts of aspartame and observe they didnt DIE! Just to be sure, they killed them at the end of this short period before they could perhaps DIE later from their HUGE TOXIC INSULT. The comment they didnt die, seems rather odd when you give a food additive for such a short period of time. I mean you wouldnt be happy if you thought you had every chance of death or illness even if after a long time just to help some company make money and the FDA to get WELL paid jobs there later or often very much sooner in their careers. Also we know of one error that they made which resulted in this comment: The interpretation of the data does not change because of an uncomfortable but consistent error in writing up the first report. They literally put the decimal point in the wrong place. What is surprisng about this report is that everything seems so vague as to be laid back to the point of blindness. Almost nothing was observed amiss and what was amiss didnt seem to evoke any interest. First the test animals ATE more than 30 per cent more than ANTICIPATED. In view of the current 2012 obesity problems for a few people this rang rather loud bells for me. What would be the effect of over eating consistently for long periods of time when you have aspartame in your diet? Another feature of considerable worry was the report of a HEAVY CLEAR MODERATELY VISCOUS FLUID which commenced in the stomach and continued further into the lower regions. We will have to guess what this was and its significance. The tests just show that giving ADULTS ASPARTAME for an extremely SHORT TIME wont kill them but may leave their stomachs in a bit of a mess. What happens if this drug is given to babies or given to anyone for more than an extremely short time in their lives is UNCLEAR. It reminds me of the THIMEROSAL given to a group of people who coped with it unremarkably for a week after. So the report went. A month later they were all dead but nobody thought this important enough to comment on let alone publish. I mean they already had published the safety of THIMEROSAL was PROVEN and the RISK BENEFIT was CLEAR already to the company. It DOESNT do to report deaths when you are trying to get a food additive on the market but this report even with what it ADMITTED happened gives cause to consider it a TOXIC compound. Again you want a job next week and the week after and you are working for a company that stands to make more than a BILLION dollars annually if you can prove BLACK is WHITE. This is reckoned by EFSA to be the second test done on EC 18862 but is more than two years after the Cook Report. Also, approval had ALREADY been granted for this food additive in the USA. Hardly any of the most tested in the history of foods appears true unless the EFSA arrangement of papers is not chronological. July 26, 1974 -The FDA grants aspartame its first approval for restricted use in dry foods. EFSA must have an odd system for their complete set of documents as we know: February 1973 -After spending tens of millions of dollars conducting safety tests, the G.D. Searle Company applies for FDA approval and submits over 100 studies they claim support aspartame's safety. No sign of tens of millions on RESEARCH so where did the tens of millions GO? Even allowing the FDA a prior look at this paper we seem to have a CREDIBILITY gap of 98 missing papers in the EFSA files. UNLESS they have a bizarre system of numbering and arrangement. And before even the E1 paper we see the strategy for ASPARTAME approval December 18, 1970 -Searle Company executives lay out a "food and Drug Sweetener Strategy' that they feel will put the FDA into a positive frame of mind about aspartame. An internal policy memo describes psychological tactics the company should use to bring the FDA into a subconscious spirit of participation" with them on aspartame and get FDA regulators into the "habit of saying, "Yes"." And we know that in 1967 came experiments where 5 out of 7 animals suffered SERIOUS neurological effects from ASPARTAME. Not mentioned or known of at the time except to a restricted PRIVATE CARTEL. 5 out of 7 potential LIFE THREATENING reactions and the company pushed ahead to collect their BILLION dollar annually BLOOD MONEY. Such is the background to ONE food additive product. Imagine the THOUSANDS of CHEMICAL additives that get passed by the DOZEN after REGULATORS spend a whole morning going through the relevent papers prepared by the company submitting them for APPROVAL. The FDA and Big pHARMA working to ensure the RISK - BENEFIT is OK. We take the RISK. They get the BENEFIT.
