The European patent for aspartame is now available online, and it confirms the artificial sweetener is made from the waste products of genetically modified E. coli bacteria.
Though this fact was reported as early as 1999, not much attention was paid at the time to aspartame and its maker Monsanto, which was allegedly adding GM aspartame to soft drinks in Britain.
The patent refers to "cloned microorganisms" later revealed to be genetically modified E. coli bacteria. They are modified to produce an especially large peptide used to create aspartame.
The cultivated and well-fed bacteria then produce proteins which contain the aspartic acid-phenylalanine amino acid segment required to produce the sweetener.
The bacteria waste is then treated to turn the large peptide and a free carboxyl group into a dipeptide. The the dipeptides are then treated with alcohol and methanol to produce aspartame.
Controversy has steadily grown around genetically modified foods and GM giant Monsanto. Coke recently ran an ad campaign defending their use of aspartame, saying studies support the product's safety.

These should be very easy to cultivate even if you live in the northen parts of the globe.

How appropriate, and very creative too.
Excellent post.
Thanks Frances
Oh hell yeah. Why do you think many refer to it as CRAP?
But then there are those that are OK with eating modified crap...
I use piloncillo which is cane sugar, naturally dripped. I use only half of the sugar requirements for any recipe, I then drizzle the finished food with RAW HONEY. Oh, my goodness, this has a flavor unlike any honey I have ever tasted.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE natural anything since I am a natural woman.
Gimme a break! Are you THAT hard up for things to write about??
Other foods are "byproducts" ... alcohol is 'yeast pee'.
ok, going to bar and getting yeast piss drunk...lol.
Bruce that was kinda harsh, things that may not be important to you may be to others.
Patience is a kindness and a good deed passed forward, don't forget.
Ditto...do we know exactly how many new visitors there are daily? Imagine one new person discovering the truth.
Do what you will Mystery, I appreciate it.
And who said the sheeple doesn't get the best sh*t.?
It would also explain the color of coke. :-)
What I can't get past, is who was the first guy who thought "E. Coli, yeah! Lets tweak it make some food-stuff with it!" That guy is walking among us.
I hope the history books will find an ironic nickname for him and just expose the creep for what he is.
