Yes that's right your help is needed. You can make all
the difference in what happens in New Mexico, which
may impact the rest of the country. If you have not
done so, I would like to strongly urge you to write a
letter to New Mexico Governor Richardson concerning
the current state of affairs there regarding aspartame.

Here is the URL to send a message to Governor
Richardson, which Mr. Stephen Fox wrote and says
exactly what needs to be said:

The URL to send a message to Senate President Pro Tem
Ben Altamirano, who at this point, is equally
important, comes up right away when you finish the
letter to the governor.

Thanks for taking the time to help us get this done.
We just learned today that Ajinomoto, the world's
largest aspartame and world's largest monosodium
glutamate manufacturer, has not only hired one of the
top law firms in New Mexico, the Rodey Firm, but also
the top lobbyist firm, Butch Maki and Associates,
which includes two governors, David Cargo and Jerry
Apodaca, to defeat these two bills, no matter what...

That is why we need your immediate and urgent help!
This involves not only the health of the people of New
Mexico, but the health of people everywhere. Please
help today.

Dark wines and liquors, as well as aspartame, provide
similar levels of methanol, above 100 mg daily, for
long-term heavy users, 2 L daily, about 6 cans.
Methanol is inevitably largely turned into formaldehyde,
and thence largely into formic acid.

It is the major cause of the dreaded symptoms of "next
morning" hangover.

Fully 11% of aspartame is methanol --
1,120 mg aspartame in 2 L diet soda, almost six 12-oz cans,
gives 123 mg methanol (wood alcohol).
If 30% of the methanol is turned into formaldehyde,
the amount of formaldehyde, 37 mg, is 18.5 times the
USA EPA limit for daily formaldehyde in drinking water,
2.0 mg in 2 L average daily drinking water.

Here is what I sent:

Dear Governor William B. Richardson:

Please give an Executive Message to the Bills to Ban Aspartame (Senate
Bill 250 and House Bill 202), to allow them to be fully considered by
the full Legislature. There is not one good reason to delay this
medically, legally and utterly stupid un-founded effort to limit the use
of a safe and effective product.

The proponents of banning this food supplement have only wild and crazy
conspiracy yarns to support their claims, e.g. the FDA approved
Aspartame in 1981 in the most sordid chapter in the FDA's history, and
such corporate manipulation of the FDA's processes.

Please reply to me very soon so that I may read your Executive Message
on this two vital bills.

Should you wind up supporting them, your state will be the laughingstock
of the Nation, since it is home to two National Laboratories, the
Civilian Spaceport and is otherwise on the cutting edge of intellignet
thinking.

Respectfully,
