RTM: www.dorway.com: original documents and long reviews of flaws in
aspartame toxicity research 7.31.2 rmforall

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aspartameNM/message/857

Three decades of aspartame history are difficult to review, grasp, and
assimilate. Herein, I try to facilitate access to some basic
documents and fairly objective reviews that challenge the industry PR
slogan: "Aspartame is the most thoroughly tested food additive in
history."

http://www.greatfallspro.com/ Many original government reports on
aspartame are available here as a 48.864 MB zip file, which takes
3.5 hours to download at 56K.
A CD is also available in either jpeg or bitmap too.
If one does not have cable,that would most likely be
the best way to obtain these reports that I have scanned.
$7.00 (total) covers the cost of
burning & mailing in the US.
Over seas would cost more accordingly of course.

[Senior Scientist of FDA Bureau of Foods Task Force, until 1987]
"It would appear that the safety of aspartame (and its
breakdown products) has still not been satisfactorily determined, since
many of the flaws cited in the studies referred to here were also
present in other studies submitted by Searle."

sources," 1998, unpublishedt:
This study is available at http://www.dorway.com/peerrev.html

Walton found 166 separate published studies in the peer reviewed
medical literature, which had relevance for questions of human safety.
The 74 studies funded by industry all (100%) attested to aspartame's
safety, whereas of the 92 non-industry funded studies, 84 (91%)
identified a problem. Six of the seven non-industry funded studies
that were favorable to aspartame safety were from the FDA, which
has a public record that shows a strong pro-industry bias.

H. J. Roberts, M.D., FACP.
Pseudotumor Cerebri due to aspartame disease.
Townsend Letter for Doctors & Patients June, 2002; #227: 66-68.
Abstract:
Objectives. Clinical insights concerning a remediable cause of
pseudotumor cerebri (benign intracranial hypertension)
due to aspartame disease.
Materials and Methods. Observations of six women with pseudotumor
cerebri who consumed considerable aspartame products,
especially "diet" sodas.
Results. The ocular and other manifestations of aspartame disease
disappeared or dramatically improved in all subjects after avoiding
aspartame products, even obviating surgery.
Conclusions. Aspartame disease should be considered in patients
presenting with pseudotumor cerebri, especially weight-conscious young
women. The associated clinical features and underlying mechanisms are
reviewed with emphasis on chronic methanol toxicity.
