Cathy and Randy:

You are not putting out the facts because the facts are that aspartame is a
neurotoxin and you don't have to go to www.dorway.com to see that. In fact,
anyone who reads the www.aspartame.com site with a half a brain and a bit of
medical knowledge will see that.

1. Monsanto admits to "small amounts of formaldehyde" in aspartame but
claims small amounts won't hurt you.  Not true according to several studies,
some of which have been published in Journal of the American Medical Assn
which states that even trace amounts of formaldehyde such as obtained from
breathing fumes from asbestos dust, can store up in the tissues and cause
serious neurological problems years later.

2. Monsanto admits that aspartame contains methyl (which is also in "wood
alcohol") but again states that this cannot be dangerous because fruit juice
has MORE methyl than aspartame.  Partially true but fruit juice also
contains ETHYL which neutralizes the methyl so what is in fruit juice cannot
damage a person neurologically like aspartame can.

3. OK, let's look at this another way.  When ANY sweet taste is felt in the
mouth, the body begins to produce insulin in preparation for what it THINKS
is sugar. But when no sugar follows, we are left with higher levels of
insulin in the blood stream which can cause, among other things, a weight
gain.  Richard Simmons states that when he gave up drinking diet pop, he
LOST 13 lbs without making ANY OTHER CHANGE in his diet or exercise program.

So see, that aspartame is a chemical poison is a no brainer.  Insulting
people who carry that message like Betty Martini, doesn't change the truth.
It's just hurtful and besides whether you admit it or not, if you consume
aspartame you WILL subject yourself to the risk of serious health problems.

But of course, perhaps you are smarter than to consume aspartame but just
don't want to be politically incorrect by warning people about it.  Some of
us don't share that view and feel it is important to warn people.

against aspartame after it FIRST CAME OUT and I looked at the ingredients...
LONG before dorway.com or any of the others.
