Aspartame: RICO Complaint Filed Against NutraSweet, ADA, Monsanto
Actually, just Ed lied.
Max wrote: Aspartame linked to cancer. http://www.ehponline.org/docs/2005/8711/abstract.html "Abstract The Cesare Maltoni Cancer Research Center of the European Ramazzini Foundation has conducted a long-term bioassay on aspartame (APM) , a widely used artificial sweetener. APM was administered with feed to 8-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats (100-150/sex/group) , at concentrations of 100,000, 50,000, 10,000, 2,000, 400, 80, or 0 ppm. The treatment lasted until natural death, at which time all deceased animals underwent complete necropsy. Histopathologic evaluation of all pathologic lesions and of all organs and tissues collected was routinely performed on each animal of all experimental groups. The results of the study show for the first time that APM, in our experimental conditions, causes a) an increased incidence of malignant-tumor-bearing animals with a positive significant trend in males (p = 0.05) and in females (p = 0.01) , in particular those females treated at 50,000 ppm (p = 0.01) ; b) an increase in lymphomas and leukemias with a positive significant trend in both males (p = 0.05) and females (p = 0.01) , in particular in females treated at doses of 100,000 (p = 0.01) , 50,000 (p = 0.01) , 10,000 (p = 0.05) , 2,000 (p = 0.05) , or 400 ppm (p = 0.01) ; c) a statistically significant increased incidence, with a positive significant trend (p = 0.01) , of transitional cell carcinomas of the renal pelvis and ureter and their precursors (dysplasias) in females treated at 100,000 (p = 0.01) , 50,000 (p = 0.01) , 10,000 (p = 0.01) , 2,000 (p = 0.05) , or 400 ppm (p = 0.05) ; and d) an increased incidence of malignant schwannomas of peripheral nerves with a positive trend (p = 0.05) in males. The results of this mega-experiment indicate that APM is a multipotential carcinogenic agent, even at a daily dose of 20 mg/kg body weight, much less than the current acceptable daily intake. On the basis of these results, a reevaluation of the present guidelines on the use and consumption of APM is urgent and cannot be delayed. Key words: artificial sweetener, aspartame, carcinogenicity, lymphomas, malignant schwannomas, rats, renal pelvis carcinomas. Environ Health Perspect 114:379-385 (2006) . doi:10.1289/ehp.8711 available via http://dx.doi.org/ [Online 17 November 2005]" Max. just Ed replied: I think we have a winner. That must at least place in the list of all-time stupidest comments ever posted in a newsgroup. and: No, I didn't attack him. I said his comment was stupid. |
