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. As a former FDA investigator, I was charged with overseeing two major projects for the FDA.

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

2005: MSG – The Slow Poisoning Of America

MSG Hides Behind 25+ Names, Such As ‘Natural Flavoring.’ MSG Is Also In Your Favorite Coffee Shops And Drive-Ups (9-12-5). I wondered if there could be an actual chemical causing the massive obesity epidemic, so did a friend of mine, John Erb. He was a research assistant at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, and spent years working for the government. He made an amazing discovery while going through scientific journals for a book he was writing called “The Slow Poisoning of America”. In hundreds of studies around the world, scientists were creating obese mice and rats to use in diet or diabetes test studies. No strain of rat or mice is naturally obese, so the scientists have to create them. They make these […] Read More

What’s (in) Your Beef?

In an article entitled: Safety of Beef Processing Method Is Questioned, the New York Times Online closed off 2009 with a stunning expose © of a particularly disgusting and deadly ingredient in the American food supply. Before I go any further, I want to make it clear that, as far as I”m concerned, there is not a single part of an animal”s body, or a product that comes from an animal”s body, that is appropriate for human consumption, whether or not the body parts in question are contaminated with pathogens. Using animals for our pleasure is wrong, and that remains true whether or not it is also physically harmful to us. Having said that, I believe this story shines a light on some little-known facts […] Read More

Aspartame – The World’s Best Ant Poison

From the June 2006 Idaho Observer: Aspartame – The World’s Best Ant Poison contributed byJan Jensen of WELLthy Choices. We live in the woods and carpenter ants are a huge problem. We have spent thousands of dollars with Orkin and on ant poisons trying to keep them under control but nothing has helped. So when I read somewhere that aspartame (Nutrasweet, Diet Coke, etc.) was actually developed as an ant poison and only changed to being considered non-poisonous after it was realized that a lot more money could be made on it as a sweetener than as an ant poison, I decided to give it a try. I opened two packets of aspartame sweetener, and dumped one in a corner of each of our bathrooms. […] Read More

2009: Why Are Sand-Derived Products Added To Food?

By Ted Twietmeyer 12-26-9 Sometime ago, I revealed using Burger King’s ingredient list that silicon dioxide (commonly known as sand) is among several unpalatable ingredients used in their food products. [1] That old expression “Eat dirt” isn’t that far off from the truth when looking at fast food ingredients. Encompassing a quiet but huge market, silicone products come in many forms. Silicone oil outlawed in breast implants is just one of many members of the silicone products group. Silicone products are silicon oxide polymers, with organic attachments and are technically called polysiloxanes. [4] In simple terms silicones are POLYMERS. Just what is silicon oxide? It is a white or colorless vitreous insoluble solid (SiO2); various forms occur widely in the earth’s crust as quartz or cristobalite or tridymite or […] Read More

2008: What Foods Should I Avoid

MSGTruth.org 11-26-8 We have attempted to give you a comprehensive list of what to avoid. You can see by the length of this list that most fast food establishments should be avoided – the worst offender by far is KFC®. It should become obvious as well, that the foods most likely to give someone an MSG reaction at ANY restaurant are: CHICKEN and SAUSAGE products, RANCH dressing, PARMESAN items, GRAVY, and DIPPING SAUCES and fries with any kind of seasoning on them except plain salt. FLAVORED salty snack chips that are usually sold with sandwiches are a problem – ESPECIALLY Doritos ® and Cheetos ® and items with cheese powder added. At regular restaurants, you want to avoid PARMESAN encrusted ANYTHING, SOUPS CAESAR salad, FISH SAUCE […] Read More

Why McDonald’s Fries Taste So Good

By Eric Schlosser Excerpt From Eric Schlosser”s new book ”Fast Food Nation” (Houghton-Mifflin, 2001) From The Atlantic Monthly THE french fry was “almost sacrosanct for me,” Ray Kroc, one of the founders of McDonald”s, wrote in his autobiography, “its preparation a ritual to be followed religiously.” During the chain”s early years french fries were made from scratch every day. Russet Burbank potatoes were peeled, cut into shoestrings, and fried in McDonald”s kitchens. As the chain expanded nationwide, in the mid-1960s, it sought to cut labor costs, reduce the number of suppliers, and ensure that its fries tasted the same at every restaurant. McDonald”s began switching to frozen french fries in 1966 — and few customers noticed the difference. Nevertheless, the change had a profound effect […] Read More
