Aspartame: RICO Complaint Filed Against NutraSweet, ADA, Monsanto
Sepp (Josef) Hasslberger

September 17, 2004




A Racketeering (RICO) complaint against NutraSweet,the American Diabetes
Association and Monsanto was filed in the US District Court for Northern
California. The defendants are charged with manufacturing and marketing a
deadly neurotoxin unfit for human consumption, while they assured the public
that aspartame (also known as NutraSweet/Equal) contaminated products are
safe and healthful, even for children and pregnant women.

Aspartame, the neurotoxic artificial sweetener that detractors say causes
serious side effects not infrequently ending in death, was put on the market
by Donald Rumsfeld "calling in his political chips" rather than by a process
of impartial examination of scientific evidence. In fact the approval by
Rumsfeld appointee Arthur Hull Hayes overrode the recommendations of the
FDA's own scientists, indicating that profit politics and corruption, rather
than care for people's health, were determining factors.

Earlier this year, the National Justice League announced three civil actions
had been filed in separate California courts against companies such as Coca
Cola, Pepsi, Wrigley and others for marketing the toxic substance in their
products, but this present action is stepping up the pressure introducing
the concept of a criminal conspiracy to knowingly harm consumers' health for
profit...

Racketeering Charges Filed Against NutraSweet Co., American Diabetes
Association, Monsanto & Dr Robert H. Moser for Manufacturing and Marketing
Toxic Aspartame

San Francisco, CA:

A RACKETEER INFLUENCED & CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS [RICO] complaint has been
filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The
suit, filed by a member of The National Justice League, charges the
defendants with manufacturing and marketing a deadly neurotoxin unfit for
human consumption, while they assured the pubic that aspartame (also known
as NutraSweet/Equal) contaminated products are safe and healthful, even for
children and pregnant women. Present Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld is
mentioned throughout the lawsuit.

As evidence, an explosive affidavit from a former employee of the G.D.
Searle Co - the developer of aspartame - was made public at a press
conference on Thursday, September 16 in Sacramento, California.

For 16 years, the FDA denied approval of aspartame because of compelling
evidence of its contributing to brain tumors and other serious disabilities.
Donald Rumsfeld, present Secretary of Defense in the Bush Administration,
left President Ford's administration as Chief of Staff to become the CEO of
aspartame producer G D Searle Co. in 1981. Shortly after Rumsfeld became the
CEO, and the day after President Reagan took office, aspartame was quickly
approved by FDA Commissioner Arthur Hayes over the objections of the FDA's
Public Board of Inquiry. Hayes had been recently appointed by the Reagan
Administration. Shortly after aspartame's approval by the FDA, Hayes joined
NutraSweet's public relations firm under a ten year contract at $1,000 a
day.

Aspartame/NutraSweet was the product of the G. D. Searle Co. In January
1977, the FDA wrote a 33 page letter to U.S. Justice Department Attorney Sam
Skinner: "We request that your office convene a Grand Jury investigation
into apparent violations of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act."
Skinner allowed the Statute of Limitations to run.

Three FDA Commissioners and eight other officers and Skinner took jobs in
the aspartame industry shortly after it was approved in 1982.

The Food and Drug Administration once listed 92 adverse reactions from
10,000 consumer complaints and sent the list to all inquirers. In 1996 the
FDA stopped taking complaints and now denies existence of the report.
Seizures, blindness, sexual dysfunction, obesity, testicular, mammary and
brain tumors and death, plus dozens of other dread diseases named in the
suit arise from the consumption of this neurotoxin.

Defendant Moser, past CEO of NutraSweet, is cited for misrepresenting facts
to public and commercial users with full knowledge of the deceptions. The
toxin is sold to Bayer, Con Agra Foods, Dannon, Smucker, Kellogg, Wrigley,
PepsiCo, Kraft Foods (Crystal Light), Conopco (Slim-Fast), Coke, Pfizer,
Wal-Mart and Wyeth (to name a few), who use it in some of their products,
including children's vitamins. The National Justice League currently has
suits filed against these companies in California courts.

Defendant American Diabetes Association's mission is to care for diabetics.
A 35 year ADA member, world famous diabetic specialist H.J.Roberts, M.D.,
discovered aspartame can precipitate diabetes and reacts harmfully with
insulin. ADA rejected his report which was then published in a prestigious
medical journal.

The seven count indictment includes charges for violation of California
Consumers Legal Remedies Act, Fraud, violations of California Civil Code
§1780-1784 and Injunctive Relief: that Defendants be enjoined from future
use/sale of aspartame.

That's over two years ago, Jan, and aspartame is still on the market.

Whatever happened to the great court case? Could it be just possible
that it went nowhere?

Hi Peter.

Shine a torch in one ear - and you'll see a beam of light
out the other. She's not hearing you over the voices in her
head.

And I wouldn't see her if you didn't respond to her.

Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

I would recommend that Jan have her head examined, but I don't know any
proctologists I would send her to.

I am following this thread in my usual haunt - misc.health.alternative
- and my policy is always to respond to all groups used by the
original poster (except misc.headlines) unless the Followup-to header
says otherwise. Jan don't do Followup-to because she thinks it is
somehow deceptive.

I have been doing my bit about Jan's excesses lately, and my current
Kaching campaign where I donate money to the Australian Council
Against Health Fraud for each time she commits certain offences
against rationality seems to be having an effect. For example, she has
only accused me of lying seven times so far this month but it used to
be several times a day on average.

I don't think something being on the market is any indication that it's
safe. We FINALLY got the FDA to admit that trans fats are not safe in
any amount, but they're still everywhere.

There is no question to the validity of the claim aspartame, a
dipeptide, breaks down into several chemicals, one being methanol, once
inside the body. That methanol then breaks down into formaldehyde. I
remember seeing this in an email and thinking to myself "No way. This
has to be net lore." Then I happened to see the myth challenged on TV
(I believe on the show Dr. Know) and sure enough, formaldehyde is a by
product of aspartame.

All one needs to do is search the web for aspartame and formaldehyde to
see a list of side effects cause by constant use of aspartame. I'm
surprised this is even a debating point these days.

Max.

No doubt your organic chemistry is top-notch, but I undoubtedly
absorbed far more formaldehyde by dissecting frogs in high school and
cadavers in medical school than I would ever ingest in a lifetime's
consumption of Diet Pepsi.

Don't ever tell anyone to drink orange juice, Max. The methanol and
formaldehyde byproducts might cause terrible problems.

It's not. Aspartame is safe. Don't believe everything you read on loon
sites.

True, but at least now they're on the nutrition labels as well. I'm
staying away from products that don't have zero trans fats.
