Mike Adams - The Truth About Aspartame, MSG and Excitotoxins

The interview in pdf

Some parts:

"When you increase the glutamate level, cancer just grows like wildfire, and then when you block
glutamate, it dramatically slows the growth of the cancer."


"Mike: Wasn't there some research that came out recently that supports all this by establishing a
correlation between leukemia and aspartame?
Dr. Blaylock: Yes."

Editorial: Obama should put food safety under one roof

President Barack Obama has a lot on his plate these days. But he should move quickly to create a single agency with the sole purpose of ensuring the safety of the nation's food supply.

The inefficiency of the current system boggles the mind. The Department of Agriculture receives 80 percent of the money allocated by Congress to ensure food safety, but it only regulates 20 percent of the supply — meat, poultry and eggs. The Food and Drug Administration gets the other 20 percent of the money to watch over everything else.

The FDA is inspecting less than 1 percent of food imports. It continues to botch its handling of salmonella outbreaks like the peanut butter fiasco that first surfaced in November, and it hasn't checked on the accuracy of nutrition labels in 10 years.

If that doesn't meet Obama's criteria for eliminating or altering ineffective programs, what does?

The president has said he hopes to appoint a new FDA commissioner in the next week. The first assignment should be to put food safety under one roof and separate it from drug safety, a very different challenge. The National Academy of Sciences first made that recommendation 10 years ago.

The next priority is a tracking system for all food products and for food-borne illness. The salmonella outbreak from tainted peanut butter has sickened 575 people in 43 states. Every year more than 50 million Americans become ill from food. Enough is enough. If the food

industry doesn't volunteer to help pay for enough independent inspectors and surveillance systems, then the government will have to levy fees.

Former President George W. Bush saw the FDA as such a low priority that he didn't have a permanent commissioner in place for more than half of his years in office. It shows. Obama has a lot of catching up to do.

Hawaii is Leading the Way in Battle to Ban Harmful Sweetener - Aspartame

Hawaii is Leading the Way in Battle to Ban Harmful Sweetener - Aspartame
By Stephen Fox, 2/5/2009 12:00:40 PM We have bills to ban Aspartame in both houses in Honolulu; the one in the Senate, SB576, sponsored by Senator Kalani English, has 13 more cosponsors, or 56% of the 25 member Hawaii Senate.

There is also a Hawaii Senate Resolution sponsored by Senator Suzanne Chun Oakland which directly requests the as-yet-unappointed new FDA Commissioner as well as Health and Human Services Secretary-designee, Tom Daschle, to rescind the approval for aspartame. Because we have concentrated on the Senate and are in good shape there at the moment, I believe, where we must concentrate is the Hawaii House Health Committee.

The corporate lobbyists and retail merchants' association will be fierce opponents of this legislation and will fight it tooth and nail, like bringing in really sick diabetics to testify, who cry around about what they would have to do to sweeten their food with an artificial sweetener, neurotoxin and carcinogen like aspartame?

Count on this, for sure: the world's largest Aspartame manufacturer, Ajinomoto, will bring in a bunch of very expensive high power lobbying muscle, like they did in New Mexico when an almost identical Senate Bill to ban aspartame was eviscerated by lobbyists and corporate attorneys for the manufacturers.

Thus, we need real grassroots connections in Hawaii. People who can give up an hour or two to send emails to Hawaii lawmakers and asking friends and family there to get involved, please do, so the corporate lobbyists for the world's largest food poisoner won't stop this important consumer protection bill.
