Anonymous Coward User ID: 244644 United Kingdom 11/04/2007 07:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A couple of weeks ago my husband brought home a bottle of Britvic Tango Cherry the label on which proclaimed: 'No artificial colours of flavours'. Now most people might think that meant it was all pure natural ingredients. But no, it contained aspartame. So I wrote to Britvic and this was their reply: Britvic Soft Drinks fully complies with all labelling legislation and relevant codes of practice. We are confident that the labelling accurately communicates the product offering. In addition, all ingredients are listed in the ingredients panel, in line with legislation. Aspartame is as you said a sweetener, and so does not fall into the flavouring category. Sweeteners have a valuable role to play in the manufacture of soft drinks and are perfectly safe. They can be used on their own, in combination with other sweeteners or in combination with sugar to provide the optimum taste for an individual product. They also provide a low calorie alternative for those consumers looking to limit their daily calorie intake or for those wishing to limit sugar consumption. As a matter of policy, Britvic Soft Drinks only uses fully permitted and approved ingredients in its drinks within the limits specified by UK regulations. All ingredients are listed clearly on the ingredients panel as required by law. Aspartame is one of a number of sweeteners and is one of the most thoroughly tested ingredients ever used in food. Extensive scientific studies conducted over a period of 30 years have conclusively shown that aspartame is completely safe. It is now widely approved for use by the regulatory authorities throughout Western Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia and Japan. If you require any further clarity around the safety of Aspartame you need to contact the Aspartame Bureau directly on Tel: 0207 630 1418 or you can visit their website at www.aspartame.info. We trust you find this information useful. Thank you for contacting Britvic Soft Drinks. Kind regards Sharon Johnson Britvic Consumer Care Advisor www.britvic.com Completely safe? I don't think so! |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 289164 United States 11/04/2007 07:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Completely safe? I don't think so! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 244644Well obviously it's not safe if you're a rat... And the test I posted above used 1800 rats of them, I think. So either rats are somehow more sensitive to aspartame because of their physiology (*HIGHLY* unlikely), or this person is just giving you a standard brush-off. You didn't expect them to admit that aspartame might cause cancer, did you? If you understand law, you will understand why they will ignore studies to the contrary all the way until the end of time if necessary. Their legal culpability is much greater if they poison you KNOWINGLY. It's much less if they poison you using an 'approved' product. |

They've been caught in the past selectively rating articles and such, as shown by Alex Jones and some of his documentaries and articles.

what? User ID: 315519 United States 11/04/2007 09:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | rense.com Quoting: Anonymous Coward 321531Google Drops Aspartame Article Under Industry Pressure By Dr. Betty Martini,D.Hum. [email protected] 11-3-7 For a little while yesterday morning, Google carried Andrea McCreery's report, ASPARTAME, DON'T EVEN CONSIDER IT. Immediately, my phone started ringing. Are you Nancy Markle? the caller asked. "No", I replied, "I'm Betty Martini who lectured for the World Environmental Conference. Nancy Markle signed her name to my original report on my lecture at the WEC in 1995. It became a shot heard round the world that has helped millions escape the deadly effects of Aspartame Disease, an Ignored Epidemic, which happens to be the name of a 1,038 page medical text by Dr. H.J. Roberts. www.sunsentpress.com He was named The Best Doctor in the United States by a national medical journal in 1984. The text is dedicated to me and Mission Possible volunteers and documents the symptoms and diseases I discussed at the lecture." Documentation including my invitation to speak is at www.dorway.com/nomarkle.html Monsanto sold the NutraSweet Company in l999, as they could not put out the fire with people getting well off the toxin the world over. Then victims, physicians and activists expanded more operations of Mission Possible circling the globe. MS victims walked out of wheelchairs, many blind regained their sight, seizures ceased, joint pain/fibromyalgia and psychiatric problems disappeared, and women who thought they would never have children started families. Aspartame is an endocrine disrupting agent, stimulates prolactin and causes infertility. It's also an abortifacient and teratogen triggering birth defects and mental retardation should it be used in pregnancy. It interacts with drugs and vaccines as discussed in the medical text making no drug safe to an aspartame user. I downloaded Andrea McCreery's article just in time, because Google immediately deleted it, though they left it on the menu. Somebody at aspartame [Diet Coke, Equal, NutraSweet, E951, Ajinomoto, Merisant, or the other suspects] had the clout to kill the release to continue blinding consumers about their addictive neurotoxic, carcinogenic junk. In this case what you don't know can kill you. McCreerys article follows below my signature. For 16 years from the creation of aspartame our FDA denied approval of that chemical because it causes brain tumors. The agency even compiled a list of 92 symptoms of aspartame poisoning from over 10,000 volunteered consumer complaints. FDA now denies there ever was such a list but here it is on their stationery: [link to www.mpwhi.com] It took Don Rumsfeld to leave his job as head of the company that made aspartame to become Reagan's Secretary of Defense. The day after President Reagan taking office, Arthur Hayes, a pharmacologist became the new FDA Commissioner. He over-ruled the Board of Inquiry that had revoked the petition for approval and then hired on with NutraSweet's public relations firm. So aspartame was approved not by science but political chicanery. From the aspartame documentary, Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World, is a clip by Attorney James Turner explaining how Rumsfeld committed this deadly deed and poisoned the world: [link to www.sweetremedy.tv] President Reagan even wrote an executive order making the FDA powerless to do anything about aspartame until Hayes could get to the FDA. Why not just Google the f&king article, it is there asswipe! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69144Yes. He worked for Searle which invented the sweetener. Searle was bought out by Pfizer. When Rumsfeld became part of the Reagan administration in 1980 aspartame suddenly got FDA approval. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69144The Pig sure does $350 MILLION RICO LAWSUIT FILED OVER ASPARTAME A $350 million class action lawsuit was filed on September 15, 2004 in United States District Court in San Francisco, California, case no: C 04 3872. This class action racketeering (RICO) lawsuit was filed against the NutraSweet Corporation, American Diabetes Association, Dr. Robert H. Moser and John Does 1-50. Plaintiffs maintain that this lawsuit will prove how deadly the chemical sweetener aspartame is when consumed by humans. Contained in the lawsuit is the key role played by current Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld (search) in helping to get aspartame pushed through the FDA. Back in the 1980s, Rumsfeld was the President and CEO of Searle who originally owned the patent on aspartame. Plaintiffs maintain that Rumsfeld used his political muscle to get aspartame approved by the FDA despite objections of many FDA health researchers and negative studies.
