On September 30, 1980, a public Board of Inquiry advised against the approval of aspartame, stating: "The Board
has not been presented with proof of a reasonable certainty that
aspartame (NutraSweet) is safe for use as a food additive under its
intended conditions of use." In 1981, however, the FDA approved
aspartame for consumer use based on studies that seem tainted by heavy
financial interest in its approval. To many medical practitioners and
consumer interest groups, the approval was a gross betrayal of public
trust. "To think that there is even a reasonable doubt that aspartame
can induce brain tumors in the American population is frightening. And to think that the FDA has lulled them into a false sense of security is a monumental crime," writes Dr. Russell L. Blaylock in Excitotoxins. In 2005, twenty-five years after the initial Board of Inquiry's caution against approval, numerous adults and children consume aspartame-sweetened products on a daily basis, despite reservations regarding its safety.
DKP appears. According to Dr. Blaylock, when your stomach processes
DKP, it produces a compound very similar to N-nitrosourea, a powerful brain tumor-causing chemical. In addition, aspartame contains methanol, which the body breaks down into formic acid and formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is one of the main substances pumped into a dead body during the embalming process.
instead of humans. Just take note, however, that "spontaneous brain
tumors in laboratory rats are extremely rare," according to Dr. H.J.
Roberts in Aspartame (NutraSweet): Is It Safe?.
So before you believe what the manufacturers of aspartame products
would like to tell you, consider first the fact that for
extensively-studied, generic laboratory rats, "brain tumors are
extremely rare before age one and one-half," according to Dr. Blaylock.
Afterward, compare that observation to study results
cited by Dr. Blaylock that indicate "aspartame-fed rats developed two
tumors by 60 weeks of age and five tumors by 70 weeks." Now, do you
still believe it's an "urban myth?"

Drinking Formaldehyde
The next time you pop open a can of diet soda, pause for a moment to consider what exactly you're drinking. As the aspartame gets broken down in your digestive tract, a metabolic by-product calledDKP appears. According to Dr. Blaylock, when your stomach processes
DKP, it produces a compound very similar to N-nitrosourea, a powerful brain tumor-causing chemical. In addition, aspartame contains methanol, which the body breaks down into formic acid and formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is one of the main substances pumped into a dead body during the embalming process.
Now, when I'm dead, the morticians can pump formaldehyde into my body.
Before then, however, I don't want to be pumped full of any chemical
used in the embalming process, and I'm sure you don't, either. According
to Dr. Blaylock, formaldehyde accumulates near DNA and causes serious damage. "Drinking even one diet cola a day can cause formaldehyde buildup in cells, so that the amount of the toxin increases daily," he writes in Health and Nutrition Secrets.

"Urban myths" of the aspartame industry
You can visit the website for Equal, which says that aspartame-induced tumors, migraines, seizures and nervous system disorders are just "urban myths." If you believe that, you probably also believe the aspartame industry's argument that the studies that resulted in the condemnation of their products were based on lab ratsinstead of humans. Just take note, however, that "spontaneous brain
tumors in laboratory rats are extremely rare," according to Dr. H.J.
Roberts in Aspartame (NutraSweet): Is It Safe?.

In light of the truth regarding the safety of aspartame products, it is
ironic that consumers often turn to no-calorie diet products because of
concern for their health,
especially in regard to obesity. The aspartame industry promises
consumers a reduction in calories without having to drastically change
their diet. Unfortunately, misinformed consumers believe this. To the
more informed readers out there: Don't beguile yourselves chasing false
promises. You can lose weight by maintaining a healthy lifestyle through exercise and good food choices. The NaturalNews website can provide you with information you need to start making these changes. Additionally, if you want a truly natural way to sweeten your foods and drinks, try stevia. You can learn more about stevia at NaturalNews's stevia archive. The right information is available to you, but it's up to you to discern the good from the bad and make healthy lifestyle choices.

The experts speak on aspartame and brain tumors:
"September 30, 1980: A public Board of Inquiry advises against aspartame"
A Public Board of Inquiry (PBOI) advised against the approval of aspartame on September 30, 1980 pending further testing relative to
induced brain tumors. It asserted: "The Board has not been presented
with proof of a reasonable certainty that aspartame (nutrasweet) is safe
for use as a food additive under its intended conditions of use."

"Results of studies prior to the FDA's approval of aspartame"
…. The fact that 320 aspartame fed rats developed six brain tumors by seventy-six weeks indicates an "incredible and unprecedented''
occurrence. ..

This particularly nasty substance should have never even been approved for human use. In fact, had it not been for some fancy footwork
by those in power in the FDA, it never would have. Early experiments
using low, medium and high doses with aspartame all found dramatic
tumor increases in test animals. These included brain, pancreas, and
breast tumors…

Importantly, brain tumors are extremely rare before age one and one-half in the rat. So in truth the incidence of spontaneously
occurring brain tumors would be even less than cited above. Yet, the
aspartame fed rats developed two tumors by sixty weeks of age and five
tumors by seventy weeks.

Dr. M. Adrian Gross, a respected FDA scientist-pathologist, listed dozens of "serious deficiencies" by a manufacturer and its
representatives concerning the prelicensing evaluation of aspartame in
animal studies . . . the most serious pertaining to brain tumors.

When Dr. John Olney pointed out these findings to the FDA "aspartame Board of Inquiry" he was told that the high
incidence of tumors was the result of spontaneous development of brain
tumors in rats. .. He reviewed the incidence of spontaneously occurring
brain tumors in rats and found that out of seven studies using a total
of 59,000 rats, only 0.08% developed brain tumors—the aspartame fed rats
had a forty-seven fold higher incidence. But to be fair, he even
accepted G.D. Searle's references for spontaneously developing brain
tumors in rats and arrives at a figure of 0.15%. This was still a
twenty-five fold higher incidence in the aspartame fed rats than in the
controls.

The study divided the rats into those exposed to low doses of aspartame and those exposed to a high dose. In the low dose group five
of the rats developed brain tumors for and incidence of 3.13%. In the
high dose group, seven developed brain tumors (4.38%). This indicates a
dose related incidence of brain tumors. The higher the dose of
aspartame, the more brain tumors were induced.

"The FDA approved aspartame in 1981: Why?"
It is interesting to note that the first experiments done to test the safety of aspartame before its final approval in 1981 disclosed a
high incidence of brain tumors in the animals fed nutrasweet® .4S4 In
fact, this study was done by the manufacturer of nutrasweet®, G.D.
Searle. In this study 320 rats were fed aspartame and 120 rats were fed a
normal diet and used as controls. The study lasted two years. At the
end of the study twelve of the aspartame fed rats had developed brain
tumors (astrocytomas), while none of the control rats had. This
represented a 3.75% incidence of brain tumors in the rats fed aspartame,
which was twenty-five times higher than the incidence of spontaneous
brain tumors developing in rats (0.15%) …

Despite concerns over the safety of this new sweetener, including brain tumor induction in experimental animals, seizures, precipitation of headaches, and an adverse effect on the developing
brain, the FDA approved its use as an artificial sweetener. Sales began
to grow immediately. The nutrasweet® company spent over 60 million
dollars on advertising alone during its first three years.

…. What is ironic is that the FDA would accept studies from a company with an obvious heavy financial interest in having aspartame
approved. But even more amazing is that they would depend on this same
company to provide studies that they, FDA, knew beforehand were highly
questionable and possibly fraudulent upon which they would make such an
important public safety decision.

"In view of all these indications that the cancer-causing potential of aspartame is a matter that has been established way beyond
any reasonable doubt, one can ask: 'What is the reason for the apparent
refusal by the FDA to invoke for this food additive the Delaney
Amendment to the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act?' "

"How aspartame possibly causes tumors"
But the story gets even more interesting. Dr. Olney hypothesized that one possible cause of the tumor induction was a by-product of
aspartame metabolism called diketopiperazine (DKP). When nitrosated by
the gut it produces a compound closely resembling a powerful brain tumor
causing chemical— N-nitrosourea.
Excitotoxins by Russell L Blaylock MD, page 213
the gut it produces a compound closely resembling a powerful brain tumor
causing chemical— N-nitrosourea.
Excitotoxins by Russell L Blaylock MD, page 213
Several possibilities explain the high rate of cancer in these animals. One is that aspartame breaks down in the body into a
substance called diketopiperizine or DKP, which chemically closely
resembles a group of cancer-causing chemicals.
aspartame also contains methanol, which breaks down in the body into
formaldehyde and formic acid. Formaldehyde had been shown to accumulate
near DNA, causing serious damage that is accumulative. That means that drinking even one diet cola a day can cause formaldehyde buildup in cells, so that the amount of the toxin increases daily.

"Results and accuracy of animal studies"
…. The study showed that in 320 nutrasweet-fed rats there were 12 brain tumors whereas in a group of concurrent control rats which were
not exposed to nutrasweet, there were no brain tumors. Being a
neuropathologist, I know that spontaneous brain tumors in laboratory
rats are extremely rare. The archival literature documents an incidence
not exceeding 0.6%. Since the above incidence in nutrasweet-fed rats is
3.75%, this suggests that nutrasweet may cause brain tumors and
certainly suggests the need for additional in-depth research to rule out that possibility . . .

Male and female Sprague-Dawley rats fed aspartame in the diet at various levels for up to 2 years were observed for the incidence of
brain tumors (G. D. Searle and Co., 1973b). After the study was
completed, the FDA appointed an independent board of inquiry to review
the data. The board concluded that aspartame was a possible carcinogen,

Some primary brain lymphomas are associated with immune depression seen with AIDS. One would expect these to increase. But there is also a dramatic
increase in these previously rare tumors in individuals without AIDS.489
Some have suggested that the recent increase in brain tumors merely
reflects better diagnostic methods. But a recent study found this not to
be true; the increase is real.490 Dr. Roberts feels that an association
with the tremendous rise in the use of aspartame products in the last
decade may hold the answer.

A 57-year-old executive developed severe insomnia. His physician attributed it to "jet lag" because of his frequent
travels abroad. He was consuming 10 to 12 cans of an aspartame cola and 4
to 6 packets of an aspartame powdered sweetener daily. A tranquilizer
(Halcion®) was prescribed—but only intensified the insomnia. He was
referred to a psychiatrist for possible depression . . . then to an
endocrinologist for a possible brain tumor. The psychiatrist treated him
for three years, during which time he was ".. becoming significantly
more moody, nervous, and experiencing memory loss and speech
difficulties (frustrating to me, but really not that noticeable to
others)." Low doses of the antidepressant drug Tofranil® triggered "a
near panic attack." within two weeks after discontinuing aspartame
products, he was markedly improved.

A 30-year-old woman consumed an average of five to six cups or glasses of aspartame beverages daily for 17 months. Ringing and pain in
both ears, dizziness, and a severe headache began after the tenth month.
Audiometric studies revealed considerable loss of hearing in the left
ear. When brain tumor was ruled out by CT scan, the otology and
neurology consultants diagnosed her problem as Meniere's disease. The patient herself, however, finally deduced that the aspartame drinks caused these symptoms because she could predictably reproduce them on rechallenge.

I hope not, but ignoring the long-term problems seemingly associated with use of aspartame-containing products might portend
another "thalidomide revolution". It is imperative that researchers who
are not influenced by producer-corporations gather detailed data
concerning the incidence rates of epilepsy, visual problems, allergies, Parkinsonism, brain tumors and Alzheimer's
disease among aspartame consumers. The same applies to other
disorders—including the frequency of birth defects, seizures, impaired
intelligence and behavioral abnormalities among the children of women
who ingested aspartame products at conception and during pregnancy.

When the complainants stop using the product, the symptoms go away, returning only when they resume use of aspartame or products
containing it. Many physicians
refer to these symptoms as "aspartame disease." Some physicians and
scientists believe it to be an underlying cause of brain tumors, comas,
and death. The manufacturer of aspartame and the FDA deny any
association between aspartame and these conditions.
