Hawaii Moves To Ban Aspartame

Hawaii Moves To Ban Aspartame (NutraSweet/ Equal, Etc)

From Dr. Betty i,D.Hum

1-23-8

Senate Bill 2506 introduced by Senator Kalani English,

and also signed by Senator Suzanne Chun-Oakland, as

well as House Bill 2580 sponsored by Representative

Millie Carroll will move to ban aspartame from the

State of Hawaii.

Efforts continue to ban this deadly excitoneurotoxic

carcinogenic drug that is addicting the public and

triggering so many symptoms and diseases from MS and

lupus and seizures to Parkinson's, diabetes and

obesity and even blindness and death. An aspartame

documentary, Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World, explains

how Don Rumsfeld got this marketed when the FDA said

no. http://www.soundand fury.tv/pages/ rumsfeld2. html

Masquerading as an additive it's a deadly drug that

interacts with other drugs and vaccines.

No one can forget the gallant efforts of Senator

Gerald Ortiz y Pino who sponsored the Senate bill to

ban aspartame in New Mexico. One picture that remains

in my mind is addressing the Senate with Senators

sipping Diet Coke. Dr. Ken Stoller said " It's hard to

believe we are going to get anywhere with you drinking

this but consider the children. " Aspartame is a

teratogen triggering birth defects and mental

retardation, reducing IQ, and triggering all types of

behavioral and psychiatric problems. http://www.mpwhi.

Fox of Santa Fe, Managing Editor of the Santa

Fe Sun News and prime New Mexico moving force behind

the legislature efforts to ban aspartame, commented on

the great consumer progress implicit in these two

bills in Hawaii:

" This is wonderful news coming from Hawaii; the

Legislators and their bill drafters saw the merit in

keeping almost all of the same language from the 2006

and 2007 New Mexico bills, especially regarding the

states' rights and their obligation to protect

citizens health, which are not " preempted " by massive

failures at the FDA.

" These New Mexico bills were overwhelmed and

eviscerated in New Mexico by some of the most vicious

corporate lobbyists I have ever encountered,

representing Ajinomoto of Japan, the world's largest

aspartame and MSG manufacturer, as well as their duped

American corporate henchmen/colleagues who use massive

amounts of Aspartame, like Coca Cola, Pepsi,

Altria/Kraft Corporate services, and others. The same

lobbyists will show up in Honolulu, make no mistake...

" These corporations have everything to lose if such

bills advance and ultimately lead to the inevitable

product liability and personal injury suits from those

damaged by aspartame, which number in the hundreds of

millions, despite their cooperate serving propaganda

and lies.

" My profoundest appreciation goes to the Hawaii

activists who brought up these imperative issues, and

to the Legislators who see the merit and need to

protect the health of all Hawaiians, no matter what

duplicity is perpetuated by the top brass and

corporate lackeys at the FDA. "

47 Members of the UK Parliament have asked for a ban

and efforts in New Zealand continue with a circulating

petition for ban.

Aspartame was never proven safe. Here is the Board of

Inquiry Report of the FDA that revoked the petition

for approval: http://www.mpwhi. com/fda_petition 1.doc

In the US a petition has been filed with the FDA to

ban aspartame based on an imminent health hazard.

Twelve toxicologists wrote the FDA Commissioner in

June asking for a ban having to do with the Ramazzini

Studies showing aspartame to be a multipotential

carcinogen. http://www.mpwhi. com/aspartame_

letter_to_ fda.pdf

We thank Hawaii for their efforts at safeguarding the

people of that state and standby to help in anyway

possible. SB 2506 is listed below for review.
