Aspartame's Neurotoxicity to be Determined at June 7 New Mexico Environmental Improvement Board Meeting

New Mexico's statutes allow the Environmental Improvement Board to determine that a food additive is poisonous and therefore subject to prosecution by the New Mexico Attorney General, in this case, aspartame, the artificial sweetener.

(PRWEB) June 6, 2005 -- The neurotoxicity of aspartame, the artificial sweetener which breaks down into formaldehyde and causes profound neurodegenerative afflictions in humans, will be the subject of a presentation to the New Mexico Environmental Improvement Board on June 7 at 9:30 A.M. in Room 321 of the New Mexico State Capitol. The Environmental Improvement Board has the statutory power to regulate and maintain the standards for food quality in New Mexico.

In accordance with several almost unknown New Mexico statutes [NM 25-2-7, 25-2-10, and 25-2-13, which date back to 1941 regarding the process whereby poisonous additives to food can be identified as such, and subsequently prosecuted by the NM Attorney General, this presentation is organized by Stephen Fox, nutrition advocate and designer of several bills in the 2006 legislative session, who is spearheading this effort to make consumer protection in New Mexico actually mean something in the realm of preventing neurotoxic food additives from poisoning large numbers of New Mexicans.

Several physicians with keen interest in and knowledge of these matters are part of the presentation:

- Dr. George Schwartz, M.D. Toxicologist and Editor of Principles and Practice of Emergency

Medicine [tel. (505) 610-8243

- Dr. Grant La Farge, M.D. Pediatric Cardiologist and former professor of Medicine at Harvard

Aspartame was approved in 1981 for general use as an artificial sweetener by the FDA, and in 1983 for use in soft drinks. It is found in diet" beverages [including Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, Dr. Pepper, 7UP, and numerous others, sweeteners for coffee and tea like Indulge, Dannon Low Fat yogurt, Wrigleys chewing gum, and even in Flintstones childrens vitamins, totaling 7000 products consumed by 70% of the adults and 40% of the children in the USA!

The USFDA lists 92 medical symptoms attributed to aspartame, the #1 product complained about to the FDA, and these include: headaches, convulsions, seizures, nausea, depression, death, and others, yet, the FDA refuses to withdraw its approval of aspartame despite repeated petitions that they do so, and a mountain of evidence that this must be done.

The FDA was the subject of an extensive comment on June 1 in Santa Fe by New York Attorney General, Eliot Spitzer, candidate for Governor of New York, who visited Santa Fe for a fundraising event, which was prefaced by: The FDA is a joke!" He then went into detail about New York's suits against Glaxo-Welcome, one of the world's largest pharmaceutical corporations for its lack of disclosure of potentially ruinous information about its products, and related examples of corporate manipulation of the FDA approval processes.
