Dear Taylor,

Thank you for your note.  First of all, the only labeling required is that 
there be a PKU warning for phenylketonurics who can't metabolize 
phenylalanine.  And sometimes there is not a warning.  How can aspartame be 
used in restaurant food with a warning.  When I was on a radio show in Ohio 
someone who works with food said they use lots of aspartame.  I broke out 
in a rash when I had a waffle at the Waffle House.  They have always used 
regular syrup contained in an unlabeled bottle, but when I asked it turned 
out to be laced with aspartame.

We have told Wrigley for years to get aspartame out of gum, since it works 
like nitroglycerin under the tongue, goes through saliva straight to the 
brain.  They have even been sued but instead of taking it out they put it 
in most all of their gums except for one I know of, and it has other unsafe 
sweeteners.  One man almost went over a cliff because he didn't look on the 
label and didn't now they changed.  Be sure to make sure no gum is used 
unless it comes from a health food store or you find one without the toxin 
in it.  Dr. H. J. Roberts has a paper on this on www.wnho.net  - click on 
aspartame.

Also, many times the components of aspartame or MSG, are hidden in 
artificial and natural flavorings, so you have to go back to scratch.  You 
have to read labels.

Aspartame is a seizure triggering drug and you will see the FDA report of 
92 documented symptoms on www.dorway.com  There are 4 types of seizures 
mentioned and the RAO study on this web site was pivotal in the approval of 
aspartame.  It was a 52 week oral toxicity study where 7 infant monkeys 
were fed aspartame. Five had grand mal seizures and one died.   Aspartame 
also interacts with Dilantin anti-seizure medication and like drugs which 
is discussed in the medical text on the global plague of Aspartame Disease 
by H. J. Roberts, M.D., www.sunsentpress.com   (or 1 800 827 7991)   It is 
also discussed in neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock,M.D.,'s books , the 
seizures - www.russellblaylockmd.com

As to yogurt, I asked the FDA the first time Mr. Pape of the National 
Yogurt Association petitioned the FDA to allow it without labeling.  Even 
Newt Gingrich when he was Speaker of the House tried to get them to answer 
this and some other questions on www.dorway.com  They refused which is 
against the law.  But then again I filed a Citizens Petition to ban 
aspartame based on the fact I have the FDA's records and they lie to the 
public.  The law requires 180 days to answer.  It's been 2 1/2 years and 
the only thing I have received from them is a letter saying they had more 
important things to do. So the FDA operates above the law.   I read where 
the FDA was asked again to allow aspartame in yogurt unlabeled.  I would 
suggest you send them a certified letter demanding them to answer.  If they 
refuse again send it to your congressman with this letter.  But I would 
only use organic yogurt.

We are a global volunteer force.  Everybody works free.  However, we would 
love for you to be Mission Possible Joliet, Illinois.  We have a Mission 
Possible Chicago and Mission Possible Illinois.  Joliet!  That's where 
Searle is, the original manufacturer of aspartame.

If you want to know how aspartame got approved I would see the new movie on 
aspartame getting rave reviews - Sweet Misery:  A Poisoned World, contact 
cori@soundandfuryproductions.com  It's an incredible story.

If you would like 24 page booklets to distribute on aspartame, especially 
at this time of the year when people are having parties and a lot of 
aspartame is used, you can contact the Idaho Observer who makes them 
available called the Artificially Sweetened Times - 
www.idaho-observer.com   or email Don Harkins at observer@coldreams.com  I 
don't think they have but less than 5000 left.

There is a class action on aspartame and seizures, brain tumors and eye 
deterioration and blindness.  You can contact Keith Silverstein, Atty, at 
ksilverstein@shslawpro.com  Be sure to copy me for our database.  It should 
have her case history and contact information.  But first you will need to 
establish where she is getting the aspartame.  We do get a lot of 
complaints on the yogurt.  Would you like to be added to the Mission 
Possible list to get updates, case histories and new news or the new 
Aspartame Information list?

All my best,
Betty
