Subject: Nutrasweet, Coke & Pesi

To whom it may concern,

It has come to my attention that the product Aspartame (ie, Phenylketonurics) 
it dangerous to people health. Studies show that it casues Kidney Stones, and 
other related disease or illnesses. I understand that everything that 
synthetically made can cause problems or illnesses. However, my concern is 
this I have read and also hear that bearly anything is publish on the dangers 
of Nutrasweet because it is one of the largest donators to the FDA and other 
organizations. Diabeties, and cancer run in my family genetics and yet. 
Nutrasweet is everything a diabetic can have, hence why I am concerned. I 
have seen other products come out on the market and I don't see many things 
published about them either. Are they as dangerous as Nutrasweet?

This concerns me very much due to the fact that people are getting sick from 
these products and yet nothing is done about it. Coke and Pepsi have the 
hottest selling soft drink and pretty have since the day they were introduced 
to the public, but is that any reason to have people who already sick get 
worse? You see Nutrasweet, Coke, and Pepsi making money off Diet this and 
that and off Mountain Dew which is highly consentrated sugar and caffine.

I am just conerned and thast thought that I should just voice my opinion on 
the subject cause it angers me that it took so long to get a natural pine 
medicine from Canada to the United States that is a healthy product with no 
side effects (lived in Minot, North Dakota for 2 years) and yet the FDA 
authorizes something like Nutrasweet which is known for cancer and other 
problems. I am sure you would feel the same if these problems were effecting 
people you love and someone brings an article to attention about Nutrasweet. 
The article was never disputed in falsehood or slander to the FDA or the 
company Nutrasweet and we all know if it was there would be a class action 
lawsuit or a rebutal that all the newspaper, TV crews and everything would 
pick up on.
