Methanol: Is Aѕраrtаmе now Illegal/unsafe in California?

Cаlifоrniаn Health Authorities are concerned over the Reproductive/Development Toxicity of methyl alcohol, mеthаnоl (H3COH) OEHHA set a maximum daily dose level fоr it in Cаlifоrniа commencing July 2013. Aspartame’s Mеthаnоl falls foul of the new regulation. Mеthаnоl is one of the most widely used industrial chemicals. It is a severe metabolic toxin fоr humans. Anyone handling pure is subject to strict Occupational Hеаlth (OHSA) regulations, the key messages being Don’t drink it – Don’t breathe it in — Don’t get it on your skin. A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must be available to anyone receiving оr handling methanol, which outlines the dangers and safety requirements of handling & processing mеthаnоl Mеthаnоl is also present in minute quantities in some foods, fruits, dark red wines, […] Read More

1995: A Brief Account of the Fluoridation And Hip Fracture Problem

by John R. Lee, M.D.* June 30, 1995 The costs and health effects of osteoporotic fractures in the US are enormous. A study by the Department of Preventive Medicine and Environmental Health, U. of Iowa, recently calculated that the life time risk of any fracture of the hip, spine or distal forearm is almost 40% in white women and 13% of men from age 50 years onward. Hip fractures account for 67-79% of fracture-related dependent functioning, 87-100% of fracture-related nursing home placements, and 87-96% of short-term fracture costs. 1 The total cost of fracture care is now about $9 billion/year. It is estimated that about 350,000 hip fractures occur per year and the incidence is rising.   In an effort to treat osteoporosis and prevent […] Read More

1961: Economic Motives Behind Fluoridation

by Frederick B. Exner, M.D. 1961 reprinted from Aqua Pura, January, 1966 In 1955, when I wrote the article which is now Chapter 4 of “The American Fluoridation Experiment,”   (1) I knew in a general way that industrial pollution of air and water with fluoridation provided a strong motive for promoting fluoridation of water supplies. But I knew few of the details, and had no idea how strong the motive was. I knew far more when I testified to the Councils of the American Medical Association, in August 1957; (2) but the picture was far from complete. It is now clear that the one utterly relentless force behind fluoridation is American “big industry,” and that the motive is not profit, as such, but fear. […] Read More

Top 10 Common Ingredients That Are Just Plain Weird

As common as these ingredients are, they’re not exactly what you would expect. Some are not even what you would WANT to expect. For all the times your mother asked, “Do you know what’s IN that?”, you’ll be armed and ready with the answers. And the nausea that probably accompanies them. See our list to get started. No. 1 – Carmine Carmine, or cochineal (as it is perhaps more commonly known), consists of a mixture of … crushed beetles. More specifically, these dried insects are boiled in water to extract the carminic acid they contain (or did contain). Typically, due to the fantastic red hue the resulting potion gives off, this ingredient is used to artificially dye foods red, purple and pink; however, you can […] Read More

WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE USED ASPARTAME

By Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D. (c) 2003 Web Site: http://www.russellblaylockmd.com The most important starting point of any detoxification program is to stop exposure to the toxin or toxins. This means avoiding even small amounts, since once sensitized to the toxin even minute amounts can produce full-blown toxicity. This is especially so with accumulative toxins, such as aspartame. It has been shown conclusively that the metabolic products of methanol breakdown, formaldehyde in particular, accumulates on the DNA and cellular proteins. Once you have cleansed your diet of the toxin, removal of the toxin and its metabolic products from your system will begin. Central to this process is the body’s detoxification system, which exist in all cells of the body, with the bulk of detoxification taking place in […] Read More

The Effects of Fluoride on the Thyroid

By Dr Barry Durrant-Peatfield MBBS LRCP MRCS Medical Advisor to Thyroid UK There is a daunting amount of research studies showing that the widely acclaimed benefits on fluoride dental health are more imagined than real. My main concern however, is the effect of sustained fluoride intake on general health. Again, there is a huge body of research literature on this subject, freely available and in the public domain. But this body of work was not considered by the York Review when their remit was changed from “Studies of the effects of fluoride on health” to “Studies on the effects of fluoridated water on health.” It is clearly evident that it was not considered by the BMA (Britsh Medical Association), British Dental Association (BDA), BFS (British […] Read More

It”s The Law – Rat Poison Must Be Added to Milk

Rat Poison It’s The Law – Rat Poison Must Be Added to Milk In 1932, Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations required that 400 units of rat poison be added to every quart of milk sold in America. I receive over 2,000 letters each day, but one letter (from Dr. John Unruh Unruh@aol.com), written in jest, contained a remarkable fact. “Dear Robert, I do not know how you find this stuff but you continue to pile on the evidence as to why milk equals rat poison. Keep up the good work.” Dear Dr. Unruh, Your “rat-poison” metaphor is quite close to the truth. A brochure produced by the Ministry of Environment in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, reveals the rat-posion link: “SAFE AND SENSIBLE PEST CONTROL” […] Read More

Splenda

by author Sandra Tonn, RHN With increasing awareness about the dangers of chemical sugar substitutes such as aspartame, consumers are searching for a replacement.What about Splenda???? they ask me, hoping to receive some assurance from a nutritionist that they can enjoy their sweets without calories or adverse health effects. They eagerly insist, Its made from sugar, so its natural,??? and wait for permission to indulge.Just Add ChlorineI wondered how an artificial sweetener could be natural and decided to investigate. The patented multi-step process starts with cane sugar. Three hydrogen-oxygen groups on the sugar molecule (sucrose) are replaced with three chlorine atoms, resulting in an artificial compound that is approximately 600 times sweeter than sugar. This compound, which was named sucralose, is chemically stable and, therefore, […] Read More

Former FDA Investigator Exposes Aspartame

As Deadly Neurotoxin that Never Should Have Been Approved Open Statement concerning the artificial sweetener, Aspartame, by Arthur M. Evangelista, a former FDA Investigator… I am a former investigator who worked with the US Food and Drug Administration: This is what I have to say about Aspartame and the people who brought it to our tables.

These concerned Pesticides and Chemicals in Foods and Illegal Drug Tissue Residues in Animals (including milk related issues). I worked closely with the sister Federal and State agencies, oversaw contracts, I was a co-ordinator and lead investigator on projects involving EPA and USDA. The FDA, in the mid-70’s to mid-90’s was not a large […] Read More
