Neotame Poison Now in Organic Food

[Guest guest]

Bad News. Nazi FDA allows Nazi Food Companies to put poisonous Neotame

into organic and other processed foods without labeling - in other

words secretly, like Nazis would proudly do. I just received this,

forwarded from a friend. - LK

USDA Certified Organic's Dirty Little Secret: Neotame

By Barbara H. - Farm Wars [http://farmwars.info

Just when we thought that buying " Organic " was safe, we run headlong

into the deliberate poisoning of our organic food supply by the FDA in

collusion with none other than the folks who brought us Aspartame.

NutraSweet, a former Monsanto asset, has developed a new and improved

version of this neurotoxin called Neotame.

Neotame has similar structure to aspartame - except that, from it's

structure, appears to be even more toxic than aspartame. This potential

increase in toxicity will make up for the fact that less will be used in

diet drinks. Like aspartame, some of the concerns include gradual

neurotoxic and immunotoxic damage from the combination of the

formaldehyde metabolite (which is toxic at extremely low doses) and the

excitotoxic amino acid. (Holisticmed.com <http://holisticmed.com/> )

But surely, this product would be labeled! NOT SO!!! For this little

gem, no labeling required. And it is even included in USDA Certified

Organic food.

The food labeling requirements required for aspartame have now been

dropped for Neotame, and no one is clear why this was allowed to happen.

Neotame has been ruled acceptable, and without being included on the

list of ingredients, for:

USDA Certified Organic food items. Certified Kosher products with the

official letter k inside the circle on labels. (Janet Hull)

Let me make this perfectly clear. Neotame does not have to be included

in ANY list of ingredients! So, if you buy processed food, whether USDA

Certified Organic or not, that food most likely will contain Neotame

because it is cost-effective, and since no one knows it is there, there

is no public backlash similar to what is happening with Aspartame. But

that's not all. Just love chowing down on that delicious steak? Well,

that cow most likely will have been fed with feed containingŠ..you

guessed itŠ..Neotame! A product called " Sweetos, " which is actually

composed of Neotame, is being substituted for molasses in animal feed.

" Sweetos is an economical substitute for molasses. Sweetos guarantees

the masking of unpleasant tastes and odor and improves the palatability

of feed. This product will be economical for farmers and manufacturers

of cattle feed. It can also be used in mineral mixture, " said Craig

Petray, CEO, The NutraSweet Company, a division of Searle, which is a

part of Monsanto. (Bungalow Bill)

Why would we feed animals food that is so distasteful that we would have

to mask the unpleasantness with an artificial sweetener? Most animals

will not eat spoiled, rancid feed. They know by the smell that it is not

good. Enter Sweetos (Neotame). Just cover up the unpleasant tastes and

odors, and you can feed them anything you want to, courtesy of the oh,

so considerate folks at Monsanto and company. But of course, Monsanto is

no longer associated with NutraSweet. In the time-honored tradition of

covering its assets, Monsanto has a proven track record of spinning off

controversial portions of its company that generate too much scrutiny,

such as it did with the Solutia solution.

Says the Farm Industry News, " Monsanto, which has long resided in the

crosshairs of public scorn and scrutiny, appears to have dodged at least

one bullet by spinning off its industrial chemical business into a

separate entity called Solutia a couple of years ago. Solutia has since

been hammered by lawsuits regarding PCB contamination from what were

once called Monsanto chemical plants in Alabama and other states "

So what is the solution to this problem? Buy local organic food, know

your local farmer, and don't buy processed foods whether they are

labeled " Organic " or not. This requires a drastic change in lifestyle

that most will not want to make.

For those who choose to ride the wheel of chance by succumbing to this

terrible adulteration of our food supply by those who stand to profit

from our sickness and early demise, my only comment is: it is your

choice. VISIT - http://farmwars.info/?p=4897
