Debate rages over sugar substitute
Does aspartame cause cancer?

Aspartame is the artificial sweetener commonly found in products such as diet
soft drink, lite yoghurt and sugar free gum to name just a few.

But recent reports linking it to a range of diseases including cancer and brain
lesions have seen sales of aspartame-containing products plummet as New
Zealanders returned to consuming their high-sugar alternatives.

Is there any foundation to the claims? Dr Bernadene Magnuson is a toxicologist
who is in New Zealand, sponsored to present a series of seminars by Coca Cola.
Both she and Abby Cormack, who believes she is a victim of aspartame poisoning,
spoke to Sunrise.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make a formal complaint?
3 is required by the Broadcasting Standards Act 1989 to comply with the Codes of
Broadcasting Practice.

These codes have been developed by Broadcasters in consultation with the
Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA).

If a viewer believes that a programme has breached any standards in those codes
he or she may make a formal complaint to the broadcaster.

The law says that formal complaints must be in writing and sent to Broadcasters
first and that they must have procedures to deal with such complaints.

If a complainant is dissatisfied with the outcome of a formal complaint she or
he can refer it to the Broadcasting Standards Authority for investigation and
review.

A formal complaint to the Broadcaster must�

* be in writing (and preferably include the words "formal complaint")
* identify the specific programme - time of day and where broadcast (channel or
station)
* identify the reasons for the complaint- preferably citing specific standards
from the Codes of Broadcasting Practice
* be received within 20 working days of broadcast

Privacy complaints are handled differently. Where a Broadcaster is alleged to
have invaded someone's personal privacy, the formal complaint can be made
directly to the Broadcasting Standards Authority, without first going to the
broadcaster.

IMPORTANT ADDRESSES:

Formal complaints must be sent initially to the Chief Executive of the
Broadcaster.

formal complaint:

My thorough review of major flaws in the BA Magnuson et al 2008 review of
aspartame shows omission or unjustified dismissal of many major competent
mainstream studies -- especially those that show hazards from the body's
inevitable conversion of the 11% methanol (wood alcohol) part of aspartame into
formaldehyde and formic acid:

Aspartame is a widely used artificial sweetener that has been linked to
pediatric and adolescent migraines.

Upon ingestion, aspartame is broken, converted, and oxidized into formaldehyde
in various tissues.

We present the first case series of aspartame-associated migraines related to
clinically relevant positive reactions to formaldehyde on patch testing. PMID:
