Betty Martini is asking for help in spreading the word that they are now taking case histories for class action, starting with seizures, eye problems, blindness and brain tumors triggered by aspartame. For further information, go to http://www.dorway.com and click on the aspartame related sites. For the report form, go directly to http://www.dorway.com/reprtfrm.html (Betty Martini is the founder of the worldwide volunteer force, Mission Possible International, which is committed to removing the deadly chemical aspartame from our food. This poison has brought more complaints to the American Food and Drug Administration than any other additive and is responsible for 75% of such complaints to that agency. From 10,000 consumer complaints FDA compiled a list of 92 symptoms, including death. They used to mail this list out, but now you can't get the list without a congressman or Freedom of Information Act request.) | ||

I recently contacted Bayer because I purchased Alka-Seltzer Plus tablets and was alarmed to find Aspartame in the ingredients. My previously purchsed Alka Seltzer Plus tablets was ok. Here is Bayer's response............... Thank you for taking the time to contact Bayer HealthCare. We appreciate your concerned comments about aspartame. The safety of aspartame has been substantiated by both domestic and international organizations that include government, health, and scientific and regulatory agencies. Before the Food and Drug Administration approved aspartame for human use in 1981 it was subjected to one of the most thorough testing and regulatory processes in food ingredient history. Over 100 studies were done with animals and people, which included normal adults and children as well as others with health concerns such as diabetes, obesity and various medical diagnoses. It is also important to note that aspartame was tested in amounts that were markedly higher than people would normally consume in their diets. The FDA did not stop at the approval process. On the contrary, they have continued to keep a close watch on emerging research about aspartame and have repeatedly confirmed aspartame's safety for public use. The FDA is not the only organization that has thoroughly evaluated the research on aspartame. Other prestigious organizations that have investigated aspartame's safety are the American Medical Association, American Dietetic Association, Centers for Disease Control, American Heart Association, American Cancer Society and American Diabetes Association. Aspartame has also been approved worldwide and is currently used in over 100 countries. This widespread use is due to the continuous evaluation and approval of aspartame's safety by international safety and regulatory agencies. These organizations include the United Nations' World Health Organization/Food and Agriculture Organization Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives and the Commission of the European Communities Scientific Committee for Food. In regards to children, aspartame is safe for children and adolescents to use as part of their daily, well-balanced diet. The average child consumes much less aspartame each day than the Acceptable Daily Intake level, or ADI, specified by the FDA. Also, aspartame is metabolized in the body in exactly the same way in children as it is in adults. Scientific studies involving children and aspartame have also found that it has no effect on children's behavior. If you would like to learn more about aspartame or the scientific research confirming its safety, please contact any of the following organizations: the Food and Drug Administration Office of Consumer Affairs, American Dietetic Association, International Food Information Council, and The Calorie Control Council. Please note that our Alka-Seltzer Plus Liquid Gels and Liquid do not contain aspartame. We appreciate your comments about the subject of aspartame and will certainly share them with our management team. In appreciation of your interest, under separate cover, I am sending a full value coupon to purchase any Alka-Seltzer Plus product. Please allow 7-10 business days for delivery. If I may be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Stephanie Wolfer Consumer Relations Representative | ||

Anonymous, Bayer's response doesn't surprise me. They were defendants in a lawsuit regarding aspartame use in their products. http://www.newswithviews.com/NWVexclusive/exclusive15.htm | ||

Since you wrote me back concerning the Aspartame in Alka-Seltzer Plus I found this website. WOW........I knew nothing about the law suit. http://www.newswithviews.com/NWVexclusive/exclusive15.htm It is sad that the FDA and the media will go crazy when people are affected with contaminated lettuce or spinach but will not listen to suffering people who react to Aspartame and MSG. I can't eat out and have to read every label before ingesting everything. It isn't a pleasant way to live. People have seizures, fibromyalgia, fib of the heart, asthma, migraine headaches, mental problems, obesity are just a few problems that many have to endure because of slipping aspartame or MSG or an alias in their products. I'm a living example and even my little dog was hurt neurologically from the breeder putting cream of chicken soup in his mothers diet (MSG ingredient) while she was pregnant and nursing the puppies. Illinois University said it can't be proven that his neuro problem is from MSG but it most likely is the cause. So many animals suffer from seizures and most likely many times it probably stems from the fact that they put MSG or a form of MSG in the dog food to make the dog food lipsmakin good. I keep looking for someone who will listen...are you the one? | ||

We have heard from vets who know about the effects of MSG on dogs and other pets. I think they are more informed than M.D.s. | ||
