DIET COKE AND ASPARTAME
The photo of a crumpled can of Diet Coke told the story in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Coke’s hometown paper. Fitting, poetic, just, but tragic for the company once rated “The Most Admired Business in the World”. Today Coke wouldn’t even make the list. Sales are down, profits collapsing, and 6,000 employees soon will be gone. To make room for 6,000 defense attorneys? The tragedy is stupendously larger than 6,000 jobs; it affects hundreds of millions of unwarned, innocent, afflicted consumers across the broad face of planet earth.
This crisis can’t be solved by belt tightening, greater efficiency, more advertising, etc. It’s so bad Coke can’t say the word; to pronounce it will bring instant cataclysm. That word is aspartame, and their only recourse is denial, denial, denial, though every ad and commercial builds higher the scaffold upon which Coke shall surely hang.
Reality is in that twisted Diet coke can. It’s poison. It’s killing the unborn, raining tumors and seizures on the population, destroying children, incapacitating workers, mimicking MS, erasing memory and blinding. Inexorably Diet Coke visits a plague of 92 symptoms listed by our FDA on a secret report they’ll never show which names diet soda as the first source of aspartame disease. And yes, Death was one of the 92.
Diet Coke is poison. And it’s addictive, some victims drink several liters a day and keep it on their nightstands. If Coke changes the formula to remove aspartame the world will heal and the surge of hatred and vengeance by the disabled and bereaved shall certainly destroy Coca Cola.
The poison in Diet Coke is aspartame. As a member of the National Soft Drink Association Coke opposed FDA approval of aspartame for beverages. their objections, running to several pages published in the Congressional Record of 5/7/85, said aspartame is uniquely and inherently unstable and breaks down in the can. It decomposes into formaldehyde, methyl alcohol, formic acid, diketopiperazine and other toxins. In a study on 7 monkeys 5 had grand mal seizures and one died, a casualty rate of 86%.
Coke knew; and knowing, broke their good faith contract with customers, a breach exhibited by the recent plot to program vending machines to raise the price with the temperature. Dissatisfied with selling flavored sugar water plus phosphoric acid, they switched to pushing an addictive formula called “Diet”. Addictive substances multiply markets, so Diet Coke soared off the sales charts, spreading obesity in its flight.. We’re fatter because aspartame suppresses seratonin and makes us crave carbohydrates.
So why is aspartame/NutraSweet/Equal/Diet Coke/Diet Pepsi/etc on the market and in thousands of foods? Can you say CORRUPTION? One FDA Commissioner and one acting Commissioner have changed sides to work in the NutraSweet industry, plus 6 underlings and two federal attorneys assigned to prosecute NutraSweet for submitting fraudulent tests to get it approved. “It’s like a script for Abbott & Costello.” lamented an honest FDA scientist writing to Senator Metzenbaum. It works like this: “Approve our poison, and when you stop being a bureaucrat we’ll make you a plutocrat! After its licensed we’ll pay off the American Dietetics, the American Diabetes Association, the AMA and anyone we need who’s for sale.”
The jig’s up! Worldwide consumer action has exposed aspartame, and millions have kicked the habit. Coke’s profits are down 37% and for a year Monsanto’s been trying to sell The NutraSweet Company. Finally they sold NSC, producer of the phenylalanine in NutraSweet for $125 million. Now Monsanto faces a $71 million lawsuit for exaggerating profits. Monsanto stock is in the toilet, but they may have found a buyer in the Swiss firm Pharmacia-Upjohn. P.U. for short! The deal won’t finalize for a year. the plans are to ditch the Monsanto name as its stench is unendurable. CEO Bob Shapiro may soon be history, like Doug Ivester of Coke who just resigned. Will the last one out please turn out the lights!

Although I am deeply commited to creating health for myself and others sometimes I do some stupid things!
I needed to loose about 20 pounds back in 98. I read the Atkins book as well as Drs Eades, “Protien Power”. Ok, I said, Im going to do it. In Atkins book it was advised to drink diet drinks. Well, I knew the risk but did it anyway. I worked out at the gym diligently, did the diet to perfection and used aspartame drinks. I lost the weight…. but nearly went out of my mind doing so.
After 4 months on the program I was loosing my mind, my memory. Could not find anything! Had difficulty at work charting information. Couldn’t remember what I was trying to say and best how to say it. Started having little panic attacks and insomnia. One day I called a friend and when she answered I burst out crying as I didn’t remember who I was calling or why. I was again in the midst of a panic attack. She said ” Man, Arrow! You gotta stop drinking that shit!” and so I did. In about one week I was practically back to normal. Insomnia continued for some time until I received a beneficial constitutional homeopathic remedy.
All was well and remains so 8 years later.
Learned my lesson and learned it well. If you have such stress issues and use aspartame I recommed that you stop right away! If symptoms persist a good cleanse might be in order or a visit to a homeopath. Nutrients that feed the nervous system and brain could also be used.

Coca-Cola was invented in May 1886 in Atlanta, Georgia by a pharmacist who, by accident or design, mixed carbonated water with the syrup of sugar, phosphoric acid, caffeine, and other natural flavors to create what is known as “the world’s favorite soft drink.”
Coca-Cola is currently sold in more than 200 countries
and in early 2000, the company sold its 10 billionth unit case of Coca-Cola branded products.
Given the worldwide consumption of Coca-Cola,
a project of experimental bioassays to study its long-term effects when administered as substitute for drinking water on male and female Sprague-Dawley rats was planned and executed.
The objective of the project was to study whether and how long-term consumption of Coca-Cola affects the basic tumorigram of test animals.
The bioassays were performed on rats beginning at different ages, namely:
(a) on males and females exposed since embryonic life or from 7 weeks of age; and
(b) on males and females exposed from 30, 39, or 55 weeks of age.
Overall, the project included 1999 rats.
During the biophase,data were collected on fluid and feed consumption, body weight, and survival.
Animals were kept under observation until spontaneous death and underwent complete necropsy.
The results indicate:
(a) an increase in body weight in all treated animals;
(b) a statistically significant increase of the incidence in females, both breeders and offspring, bearing malignant mammary tumors;
(c) a statistically significant increase in the incidence of exocrine ademonas of the pancreas in both male and female breeders and offspring; and (d) an increased incidence, albeit not statistically significant, of pancreatic islet cell carcinomas in females,
a malignant tumor which occurs very rarely in our historical controls.
On the basis of the results of this study, excessive consumption of regular soft-drinks should be generally discouraged, in particular for children and adolescents.

Aspartame (APM) is one of the most widely used artificial sweeteners in the world.
Its ever-growing use in more than 6000 products, such as soft drinks, chewing gum, candy, desserts, etc., has been accompanied by rising consumer concerns regarding its safety, in particular its potential long-term carcinogenic effects.
In light of the inadequacy of the carcinogenicity bioassays performed in the 1970s and 1980s, a long-term mega-experiment on APM was undertaken at the Cesare Maltoni Cancer Research Center of the European Ramazzini Foundation on groups of male and female Sprague-Dawley rats (100-150/sex/group), 8 weeks old at the start of the experiment.
APM was administered in feed at concentrations of 100,000, 50,000, 10,000, 2,000, 400, 80, or 0 ppm.
Treatment lasted until spontaneous death of the animals.
The results of the study demonstrate that APM causes:
(a) an increased incidence of malignant tumor-bearing animals,
with a positive significant trend in both sexes,
and in particular in females treated at 50,000 ppm (P

Aspartame may have a FEW problems, But is does have a good side.
For example this article.
Got an Ant Problem? Use Aspartame
For all the dire health problems associated with aspartame — the worst of them being cancer — the original “anything-but-sugar” substitute may have an ideal purpose to exist, not as a food additive, but as an ant poison Already aware of aspartame’s origins as a toxic chemical, a health-conscious consumer with an ant problem emptied one packet of aspartame in the corner of each of her bathrooms two years ago. The “sweet” solution worked brilliantly, as she’s seen no signs of carpenter ants crawling around for the past year.Aspartame may be just the thing for getting rid of fire ants (impervious to many poisons) too, although this solution takes a bit more effort. Initially, fire ants ignored their aspartame treat until a light rain moistened it. After the rain, however, the fire ants came back with a vengeance, taking the aspartame back to the mound by the hundreds. Within two days, any evidence that fire ants existed at all, save for an empty mound, vanished.No mystery aspartame works like a pesticide, as the asparctic acid contained in this toxic product is a well-documented excitotoxin that causes specific brain cells to become excessively excited to the point they quickly die, just as both kinds of ants did.Makes you wonder if aspartame is a far safer, better alternative to getting rid of lawn and home pests than the average toxic pesticides found at your neighborhood hardware store …
