U.S. FOOD SUPPLY SAFETY THREATENED TODAY WITH FDA APPROVAL OF CONTROVERSIAL

NEW ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER 13,000 TIMES SWEETER THAN SUGAR

DALLAS, July 5, 2002 - (Aspartame Consumer Safety Network) - In response to

FDA and Monsanto's announcement today that approval has been granted for use

of the new sweetener, Neotame as a food additive in baked goods, aqueous

solution and as a table top sweetener, Aspartame Consumer Safety Network,

issues the following statement:

Seventy eight percent of all FDA complaints pertain to aspartame adverse

reactions. ACSN has thousands of serious reactions in their files. These

reports include: grand mal seizures, brain tumors, blindness and other

health-related problems including deaths.

Monsanto's Nick stated in 1998, that Neotame is " based on the aspartame

formula. " Since we believe this to be true, Dallas-based Aspartame Consumer

Safety Network vigorously opposes today's approval and urges consumers to

avoid the new fake sugar if they want to remain healthy.

Neotame is aspartame plus 3-di-methyl-butyl, which can be found on the EPA's

list of most hazardous chemicals. The aspartame formula is comprised of

Phenylalanine, which caused seizures in lab animals and Aspartic Acid, which

caused " holes in the brains " of lab animals - bonded by Methyl Alcohol, or

Methanol which is capable of causing blindness, liver damage and death.

Methanol, or wood alcohol in aspartame breaks down further in heat and in

the body, into Formaldehyde (embalming fluid), Formic Acid (venom in ant

stings) and the most deadly of all - Diketopiperazine (DKP), a brain tumor

agent.ACSN's files contain in excess of 10,000 responses from the public,

including thousands of serious adverse reactions to Monsanto's aspartame.

As a founder of the world's burgeoning anti-aspartame movement, Stoddard was

the first non-M.D.engaged to lecture at a major medical school on the topic

of Aspartame (Jan. 1997).ACSN founder, Stoddard recently concluded a

multi-city lecture tour and finds interest in this topic to be extremely

high - here and all over the world. Recently, a story appeared in London's

Sunday Mirror, featuring an adverse reaction of a child whose parents are

members of A.C.S.N.

(Aspartame Consumer Safety Network). Aspartame has been identified and

denounced as a major risk factor by consumers in over a dozen countries.

According to FDA Toxicologists who gave testimony with Stoddard in

1987 at a Senate Hearing on the subject - the tests to get aspartame

approved were falsified. Deaths of lab animals were covered up and went

unreported. Many criminal acts were committed and the perpetrators went

unpunished.

Based on over a decade of epidemiological research and work with consumers

and health care professionals, Stoddard urgently implored the FDA to

unequivocally deny any form of approval of Neotame. ACSN's warnings fell on

deaf ears when Stoddard and co-founder, , Esquire met with top

FDA officials in Washington in 1998 to plead their case. Today, four years

later, FDA approval was announced in the national media.

The above information has been forwarded to you by SunToads Health News

(formerly named Health Matters). We write very little of the materials you

receive.

We do not use a web site.

PLEASE NOTE: Some subscribers receive only a portion of their email. This

is because these subscribers have chosen email providers/servers that have

restrictions, often unknown to you, on email such as size limits, storage

time limits, numerical limits, etc. Please check to see if you have

restrictions applied to you. Each time we send out an issue we are

overwhelmed with non-delivery notices. At some point, we delete these

subscribers who generate repeat non-delivery notices. If you think you have

been deleted, just subscribe again, hopefully using a better email provider.

If you don't receive at least one newsletter during any 30-day period, that

could mean that we have lost all our data. You may ask us to confirm your

subscription status. Thanks.

This newsletter is for those who want to know more about:

1. Current serious health threats even though you may not be sick now.

2. Suppressed cures.

3. Sources of info so you can do further research.

4. Controversial health information, typically non-mainstream.

5. Alternatives. Bits and pieces.

Our Archives list can be emailed to you.

Please send us similar health info you are aware of and include references,

if possible, so others can do further research. Since our staff volunteers

its time and we do not charge you for our efforts, we are therefore unable

to pay money to writers.

Feel free to forward this material to those who may have an interest in

better health.

SunToads Health News emailings are on no particular schedule.

We don't claim to be experts or doctors, we just search for suppressed and

little known information. Any statements made by SunToads are solely our

opinions and in no way constitute medical advice.

Opinions expressed in material written by others are their opinions, not

necessarily ours. Sometimes other writers may say something we are sure is

incorrect. For example the writer may say cow's milk is great and parasites

are bad. SunToads happens to think that neither milk nor parasites are great

for humans, but we won't torpedo the entire article if the overall

information is helpful.

We inform you of what we find, we do not practice medicine or guarantee the

accuracy of what we find and forward. From the huge amounts of material we

review, we select material that we feel is likely to be largely accurate. We

do not pretend to be infallible. As more valid research becomes available,

today's best information often goes on tomorrow's junk pile. We continue to

learn just like you do.

We are aware that there are often volumes of intentional disinformation and

misinformation on many subjects. You too need to be aware that deliberate

lies are frequently promulgated. Sorting it all out is not always easy. We

have seen web sites that claim to expose lies and truths. Some of these

sites have an agenda and/or are run by poorly informed people. We try to

forward info to you that will give you a wider perspective, and will

hopefully be mostly true given the current knowledge base. We will NEVER

intentionally mislead you.

Occasionally we are blasted by a venomous reader shrieking nasty remarks

about something he/she doesn't agree with, and always he/she fails to offer

evidence or research to help us determine if we have forwarded incorrect

information. This behavior is unproductive. It sends a barb to our hearts,

and in no way helps anyone. We are pleased when this type person

unsubscribes... and we may even drop them from our list without their

requesting it.

YOU decide what is credible and if you wish to use the information we

forward.

We do this newsletter because we have personally had medical successes and

know of many others who have. We do this because we care about you, not for

any personal gain......... well, maybe......... we learn from you guys too.
