http://www.willthomas.net/911/Bush/index.htm is a site I was at
to see some political humor, when I ran across some stuff about
Aspartame. Just thought I'd add it here, in case anyone is using
stuff sweetened with Aspartame/NutraSweet. Read this! -Zer

Another big clue to Dubya's displays of dementia comes in
"photo-ops" showing him slugging back diet Coke with other
Aspartame addicts, like Chicago's mayor Richard Daley. Their
beet red faces spell either embarrassment over Bush's hijacking
of America, or aspartame poisoning. [Chicago Sun Times, Sept.
27, 2002]

According to Carol Guilford, an Aspartame expert and support
worker, the President-Select's "pretzel" pratfall was most likely
an Aspartame seizure. Bush, like Carter, Al Gore and millions of
Americans, is addicted to this constant caffeine hit. Among the
FDA's listed 92 symptoms for Aspartame poisoning are:
"Difficulty Swallowing", "Fainting" and "Unconsciousness".

Bush's facial lesions, removed as a result of "Too much sun" is
another sign of Aspartame poisoning. So was his recent knee
surgery: Aspartame depletes synovial fluid lubricating the joints.

Would you drink 6 to 12 cans of formaldehyde a day? It turns out
that methanol in Aspartame converts to formaldehyde in the
tissues. As Guildford wrote to USN Captain Eleanor Marino,
Physician to the President (Feb. 21, 2002): 10% of a 200mg can
of diet soda is straight methanol wood alcohol! Methanol is such
a gross cumulative poison, the EPA's limit for drinking water is
7.8 mg daily. For serious addicts like Bush, the methanol intake
can exceed 32 times the EPA's recommended limit..

Now the punch line: Clinical case studies shows that, among
other symptoms, Aspartame ingestion results in "mind fog",
feeling "unreal", poor memory, confusion, anxiety, irritability,
depression, mania, and slurred speech. [Neurology 1994]

Alcohol-related brain damage is not helped by chugging
formaldehyde. James Turner, consumer protection lawyer and
author of The Chemical Feast learned that an Oct. 1980 FDA
inquiry found that the formaldehyde formed by Aspartame
actually eats microscopic holes and triggers tumors in the brain.

That finding banned Aspartame from the food supply. But three
months later, Searle CEO Donald Rumsfeld told that pharma
giant's sales staff he would get Aspartame approved pronto. The
next month, the FDA commissioner was replaced by Dr. Arthur
Hayes. In Nov. 1983 the FDA approved aspartame for soft drinks.
Under fire for accepting corporate bribes, Hayes went to work for
Searle's public-relations firm. Searle lawyer Robert Shapiro
coined the name NutraSweet. Monsanto bought Searle.
Rumsfeld received $12 million for his help. Shapiro now heads
Monsanto.

The same "revolving door" swings wide for arms makers and the
oil mafia. The Big Question is: Why hasn't Dick warned George
that the diet drinks he's swilling are eating his brain and making
him crazy?

Crazy? Am I calling the President-Select of the Excited States
crazy? Not me. As a journalist, I can only point out that published
medical evidence goes frighteningly far in explaining GW's
behavior. For certain, this good ol' boy should go in for a brain
scan before being allowed to command more firepower than the
next 11 nations combined. If George W. Bush is not crazy - he's
sure acting like it.

Naw, this is not a political diatribe. Just another bit of info on an
alternative sweetener that Dr.Atkins warns us against using. -Zer
