I thought Aspartame was a Monsanto product. I didn’t realise that Ajinomoto owns Aspartame in the UK. That’s quite apt given their other popular neurotoxin: MSG.
Here in Asia, MSG is commonly referred to as Ajinomoto.

Dr. Briffa is not the least bit “naive.”
Take a look at this private study on aspartame.

You have to take the extraneous ‘e’ out of June’s link for it to work.
At first I thought the writer was experimenting on his pet hamsters!

The state of New Mexico was talking about banning aspartame for a while…I’m not sure what became of that (I live in Ohio).
For years I was on one antidepressant or another. For whatever reason I decided to stop drinking diet pop and I found that when I cut out the aspartame, I didn’t need medication! I’ve been drug-free (haha) for five or six years now!
What’s needed is education–let people know, hey, this stuff is poison. When someone tells me they’re depressed, the first question I ask them, “Are you drinking diet pop?” Instead of blowing money on shrinks and pills, all a lot of people would have to do is stop consuming aspartame!

Today I saw a newspaper advert for EyeQ supplement (omega-3) which specifically states:
‘no hydrogenated fat’
‘no aspartame’
‘no artificial colours’
Seems like this idea of listing aspartame as a ‘nasty’ on food labels is catching on. And not before time, I reckon.

One thing you have to watch out for here: Some companies believe that zero is equal to anything less than one.
They put “0 grams trans fat” on the label, yet when you actually read the ingredients, they mean maybe half a gram of hydrogenated oil per serving.
Half is not zero. Zero is zero. Pretty sneaky. My advice to anyone is actually read the ingredient list. And if it’s a mile long you probably don’t want it!

The team discussed security and transportation issues with the Secretary of Homeland Security and local police jurisdictions.Authorities say as many as 3 million people could flood the National Mall for the event. Meanwhile, Barack Obama has picked the Bible that will be used to swear him into office. The former Illinois Senator will use the same Holy Book Abraham Lincoln used at his inauguration in 1861. Obama will be………..

I dont know what you are all worried about. I think aspartame is a great product!!!
Its the best Ant Poison on the planet. Well that was what is was originally intended to be.
I think the reason one reader thought Aspartame was a Monsanto product, is becuase it originally was. To get it passed by the FDA for human poisoning (whoops I meant consumption) Donald “Defence Secretary” Rumsfeld who is also involved in Searle a Monsanto company, pretty much had to retire the original and very concerned FDA board members, and replace them with money mad fascists, to get this product passed for human consumption.
Agent Orange anyone?
