Aspartame: Bill would ban food containing sweetener
[ 69 comments ]

By Diana Heil | The New Mexican
January 14, 2006

If passed,
halt on sale of products with aspartame in state will begin July 1 . . .

Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino, D-Albuquerque, is sponsoring a bill that
would ban the sale of food products containing aspartame.
The popular sweetener, sold under the brand names of NutraSweet
and Equal, is found in thousands of products, including diet sodas,
but the bill calls it a poison.

The measure cannot be heard in the 30-day legislative session

hangover research relevant to toxicity of 11% methanol in
aspartame (formaldehyde, formic acid): Calder I (full text):
Jones AW: Murray 2004.08.05 2005.09.28

Since no adaquate data has ever been published on the exact
disposition of toxic metabolites in specific tissues in
humans of the 11% methanol component of aspartame, the many
studies on morning-after hangover from the methanol impurity
in alcohol drinks are the main available resource to date.

Jones AW (1987) found next-morning hangover from red wine
with 100 to 150 mg methanol (9.5% w/v ethanol, 100 mg/L
methanol, 0.01%, one part in ten thousand).

"Survey of aspartame studies: correlation of outcome and funding
sources," 1998, unpublished:   http://www.dorway.com/peerrev.html
Walton found 166 separate published studies in the peer reviewed
medical literature, which had relevance for questions of human safety.
The 74 studies funded by industry all (100%) attested to aspartame's
safety, whereas of the 92 non-industry funded studies, 84 (91%)
identified a problem. Six of the seven non-industry funded studies
that were favorable to aspartame safety were from the FDA, which
has a public record that shows a strong pro-industry bias.
