praise for second aspartame cancer rat study by Ramazzini Foundation,
Morando Soffritti et al, by informed MDs -- Blaylock, Landigan, Walton, Roberts: Martini: Murray 2007.06.15 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aspartameNM/message/1440 http://www.psywarriormatrix.com/view...?p=15893#15893 Post Posted: Fri Jun 15, 2007 9:13 pm Post subject: New study -- low doses of aspartame cause cancer From Dr. Betty Martini, D.Hum. [honorary] 2007.06.15 [ Selections by Rich Murray that focus on recent comments by informed experts. For the free full text, 24 pages: www.ehponline.org/members/2007/10271/10271.pdf free full text 24 pages ] See also, for more comments by these experts: www.sweetremedy.tv/pages/sweetmiserynews.html ] Statement from Dr. Russell Blaylock, MD: Dear Betty, My review of the first Ramazzini Study concluded that the study was one of the best designed, comprehensive and conclusive studies done to date on the multipotent carcinogenic potential of aspartame. This second study is even more conclusive, in that it shows a dose- dependent statistically significant increase in lymphomas/ leukemia in both male and female rats exposed to aspartame. These two cancers are the fastest growing cancers in people under age 30. Also, of major concern is their finding of statistically significant increases in breast cancer in animals exposed to aspartame. With newer studies clearly indicating that toxic exposures during fetal development can dramatically increase the cancer risk of the offspring, this study takes on a very important meaning to all pregnant women consuming aspartame products. Likewise, small children are at considerable risk of the later development of these highly fatal cancers. It should be appreciated that the doses used in these study fall within the range of doses seen in everyday users of aspartame. This study, along with the first study, should convince any reasonable scientific mind, as well as the public at large, that this product should be removed from the market. Russell L. Blaylock, M.D. New Study -- Low Doses Of Aspartame Cause Cancer Environmental Health Perspectives, the Journal of the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences ranks first among more than 200 environmental science and occupational health journals and is read in 190 countries. At New York's Mt Sinai School of Medicine DR. Morando Soffritti was honored in April with the Irving J Selikoff Award for his outstanding contributions to the identification of environmental and industrial carcinogens, and his promotion of independent scientific research. The prestigious Selikoff Award is only granted for groundbreaking cancer research. It was created 1993 by the Collegium Ramazzini, an academy of 180internationally renowned experts in occupational and environmental health from over 30 nations. It has been awarded just twice before being presented to Dr. Soffritti. His research was conducted for 36 months using 1,800 rats. It forced the conclusion that aspartame is a multipotential carcinogen. Cancers aspartame produced included leukemia, lymphoma, kidney, and cranial peripheral nerves among others. Only the rats fed aspartame got malignant brain tumors. This prodigious work was peer reviewed by 7 world experts. This work confirmed studies presented to the FDA 25 years ago that documented a catalogue of brain, uterine, ovarian, testicular, mammary, pancreatic and thyroid tumors. Based on the evidence, FDA denied approval of aspartame for 16 years from the time it was discovered. Then Don Rumsfeld, who after his post as Secretary of Defence in the Ford administration, was chosen in 1977 to be the CEO of NutraSweet's parent, the G. D. Searle Co., then later used all his extensive Washington contacts in the newly elected Ronald Reagan administration. Quickly after assuming office in January, 1981, President Reagan wrote an executive order making the FDA powerless to do anything about aspartame until a new comissioner could be appointed to the FDA. The existing FDA Commissioner was asked to resign. In July, 1981 aspartame was approved by Arthur Hull Hayes, soon after his appointment by President Reagan. Hayes did this over the objections of the FDA's Scientific Board of Inquiry, which had voted to revoke the petition for approval. An Atlanta Journal Constitution article dated 9/25/85 was titled "Reagan Says He Quit Using Sweeteners". Also in l985 there were two congressional hearings over the outrage of the public being poisoned. This article states: "President Reagan says he quit using artificial sweeteners because "we don't know what is in them,...' Unfortunately it was too late for the public, as the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled in favor of NutraSweet, even though it was known that the FDA had asked for the indictment for Searle, and revoked Searle's petition for approval. Soffritti's new study "Lifespan Exposure to Low Doses of Aspartame Beginning During Prenatal Life Increases Cancer Effects in Rats" focuses on damage from low-dosage aspartame consumption over the long term. It clearly demonstrates a great danger to unborn babies and children. Newly identified is lifelong increased risk of breast cancer as the aspartame exposed child matures. Exposures were at low doses -- a 20 kg (45 pounds) child drinking 2 cans of diet soda a day brings into his body 400 mg of aspartame, 20 mg/kg body weight. Food & Drink Weekly reports that soda is the most commonly consumed beverage among children, and soft drink consumption is up 500% over the last 50 years. American consumption has skyrocketed to over 600 12-ounce servings per person per year, and climbing. Cokes goal is to jump sales 25% annually. The aim of Soffritti's new study was to identify the cancer risk aspartame presents, starting with the mother's ingestion before the fetus is born. The study was conducted on groups of 70-95 male and female Sprague Dawley rats, administered aspartame with feed at concentrations of 2000, 400, or 0 ppm from the 12th day of fetal life until natural death. The results of this carcinogenicity bioassay confirm and reinforce the earlier study's demonstration of aspartame's multipotential carcinogenicity. Further, the study demonstrates that when lifespan exposure to aspartame begins during fetal life, its carcinogenic effects magnify. Dr. Philip Landrigan, Chairman of Community and Environmental Medicine at Mt. Sinai Medical Center, says the Soffritti study on rats strongly implies human risk. He advises parents of young children to think very very carefully about giving drinks and other aspartame contaminated foods to children. He advocates federal action be taken to review regulation of aspartame, and that the chemical be submitted for precise critical investigation.

Labstract e il pdf del testo completo di EHP online, isponibile nella homepage della Fondazione Europea Ramazzini: www.ramazzini.it Atty. James Turner, author of the Chemical Feast and the Nader Report on Food Protection at FDA, explains: "Since l974 FDA and the Searle Drug Company have known that aspartame causes brain tumors in animals. In 1980 the public has known the Public Board of Inquiry affirmed the Searle studies showed cancer in animals and ruled that it should not be used in the food supply. It is past time that the FDA invoked the Delaney Clause and remove NutraSweet from the market. In July of 2005 further studies (Ramazzini) underscored the cancer causing capability of NutraSweet/ aspartame in animals." See Mr. Turner in Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World explain how Rumsfeld's aspartame got approved after FDA said no. www.soundandfury.tv/pages/rumsfeld2.html Ralph G. Walton, M.D., emphasizes: "Dr. Soffritti's two outstanding studies on the multipotential carcinogenic effects of aspartame add significantly to the ever- growing body of evidence on the hazards of this artificial sweetener. The FDA's stubborn adherence to their original, and controversial, approval of aspartame is unconscionable. The public must be informed that the approvals, both in this country and Europe, are based on highly questionable industry-funded research, or, in the case of recently issued statements on aspartame's supposed safety, on a questionnaire which in no way represents legitimate research. Independent research, such as the recent Soffritti studies invariably demonstrates the extremely hazardous nature of this product." http://www.safeharborbh.org/pdfs/annualreport2005.pdf Ralph G. Walton, M.D., Medical Director, Adult Services Safe Harbor Behavioral Health, www.safeharborbh.org 1330 West 26th Street. Erie, PA 16508 814-459-9300 When the Ramazzini 2005 study was released the government and aspartame manufacturers were responsible for a coverup. They found an old AARP survey sent to a million American seniors: 16 pages with 56 questions. It asked: How high did you go in school? Had a hysterectomy? Do you eat brownies? Oatmeal? Margarine? Question #25 asked "Over the last 12 months when you drank coffee or tea, what kind of sweetener did you regularly add?" There were 6 multi-choice selections, one of which was: Equal or aspartame The 10 year old 3-word item instantaneously converted the questionnaire into the biggest aspartame study in history! It showed no problems at all! (None were asked for!) Through saturation news released this propaganda planetwide in major magazines and other media. www.wnho.net/halt_the_spin_on_bogus_studies.htm Dr. Soffritti's work was presented to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The EFSA risk assessment has been criticized from the beginning because of conflicts of interest among the panel members, particularly the chair Susan Barlow, who is an industry consultant. They rejected Dr. Soffritti's study with the lame excuse that cancers were caused by lung infections. Eminent researchers and scientists know that respiratory infection is a factor in the dying process and never took the EFSA excuse as noteworthy. Ramazzini study control rats had a much lower incidence of cancers than the aspartame-fed rats. Critics of EFSA's risk assessment said that if the cancers were caused by inflammatory lung disease, then the control group would have had as many cancers as the rats fed aspartame. Dr. H. J. Roberts, M.D., FACP, FCCP, author of several texts on aspartame disease commented: "The elegant studies by Dr. Morando Soffritti and his colleagues, coupled with other recent related publications, reinforce my longstanding opinion that aspartame products represent carcinogens -- or co-carcinogens -- for several major tumors in humans, especially involving the brain. "The details appear in my text, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, and in my article, Does Aspartame Cause Human Brain Cancer? The latter indicated that aspartame or its metabolites "might activate one or more oncogenes that potentate or initiate cell mitosis, either by direct or indirect effects. "The failure of the FDA to acknowledge and act on the ongoing revelations over the last two decades about the hazards of aspartame products in a number of realms, especially when taken by children and pregnant women, remains a source of professional embarrassment. This chemical constitutes an imminent public health hazard. I congratulate Dr. Soffritti for independently underscoring this warning."

Soffritti M, Belpoggi F, Cevolani D, Guarino M, Padovani M, Maltoni C. Cancer Research Center, European Ramazzini Foundation for Oncology and Environmental Sciences, Bologna, Italy. Methyl alcohol was administered in drinking water supplied ad libitum at doses of 20,000, 5,000, 500, or 0 ppm to groups of male and female Sprague-Dawley rats 8 weeks old at the start of the experiment. Animals were kept under observation until spontaneous death. Ethyl alcohol was administered by ingestion in drinking water at a concentration of 10% or 0% supplied ad libitum to groups of male and female Sprague-Dawley rats; breeders and offspring were included in the experiment. Treatment started at 39 weeks of age (breeders), 7 days before mating, or from embryo life (offspring) and lasted until their spontaneous death. Under tested experimental conditions, methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol were demonstrated to be carcinogenic for various organs and tissues. They must also be considered multipotential carcinogenic agents. In addition to causing other tumors, ethyl alcohol induced malignant tumors of the oral cavity, tongue, and lips. These sites have been shown to be target organs in man by epidemiologic studies.

Each got 2100 mg aspartame daily, 30 mg/kg bodyweight, equal to 10-12 cans of diet soda daily, about a gallon. Despite the very small number of subjects, the results were dramatic and statistically significant. The eight depressed patients reported with aspartame, compared to placebo, much higher levels of nervousness, trouble remembering, nausea, depression, temper, and malaise. (For each symptom, p0.01) The five normals did not report strong enough differences between aspartame and placebo to be significant. Initially, the study was to be on a group of 40, but was halted by the Institutional Review Board because of severe reactions among 3 of the depressed patients. Again, statistical significance with only 8 depressed patients: "In this study, patients most often began to report significant symptoms after day 2 or 3."

Within hours, methanol is inevitably largely turned into formaldehyde, and thence largely into formic acid -- the major causes of the dreaded symptoms of "next morning" hangover. Fully 11% of aspartame is methanol -- 1,120 mg aspartame in 2 L diet soda, almost six 12-oz cans, gives 123 mg methanol (wood alcohol). If 30% of the methanol is turned into formaldehyde, the amount of formaldehyde, 37 mg, is 18.5 times the USA EPA limit for daily formaldehyde in drinking water, 2.0 mg in 2 L average daily drinking water. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aspartameNM/message/1286 methanol products (formaldehyde and formic acid) are main cause of alcohol hangover symptoms [same as from similar amounts of methanol, the 11% part of aspartame]: YS Woo et al, 2005 Dec: Murray 2006.01.20 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aspartameNM/message/1143 methanol (formaldehyde, formic acid) disposition: Bouchard M et al, full plain text, 2001: substantial sources are degradation of fruit pectins, liquors, aspartame, smoke: Murray 2005.04.02 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// |
