Aspartame is a neurotoxin. It
causes brain damage.
2. Aspartame degrades into
methanol and formaldehyde. Both
are deadly poisons.
3. Aspartame actually increases the
craving for carbohvdrates. Far from
helping people lose weight, it helps
people gain weight, and may be
partly responsible for the epidemic
of obesity we are seeing now in
western countries.
4. Aspartame is highly addictive. It
is very hard to get off it. It is like a
drug.
Yet Mr Andrew McKenzie Chief executive of the New Zealand Food safety Authority states that the
" New Zealand consumer should have no concerns as we recognize that this is safe According to The FDA European food safety Authority UK Food Standards Agency"
Wake up McKenzie the FDA and the other organizations you mentioned is No Bench mark for safety whatsoever
What cave have you been living,
In my opinion the comments mentioned on TV3 New Zealand on The 11th January 2010 are ill informed and to rely on the FDA (this Fascist organization) for making irresponsible comments that Aspartame is safe then further saying " The NZ Consumer should have have no concerns" is unconscionable.
Now consider that half of the drugs cleared for public sale by the FDA are quietly removed from the market (or greatly restricted) in 5 years or less because of their dangerous and deadly effects. Hundreds of people die each month (!) from Avianda alone, for example,

ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER UPDATE
Just love that chewing Gum Flavour
Just love those soft Drinks for your Kids !
- The artificial sweetener aspartame (sold as Equal and Nutra- Sweet) is a diabolical poison, no doubt about it, confirmed by new evidence.
- In 2005, scientists in Italy reported a rigorous three-year study on 1,800 rats concluding, “Aspartame causes significant increases in lymphomas/leukemias and is a multipotential carcinogen.”
- The findings were ignored by health officials in both Europe and the U.S. But on May 14, 2009, the National Cancer Institute confirmed the link between formaldehyde, one of the breakdown products of aspartame, and cancer, reporting a 37 percent increase in death risk from lymphoma and leukemia in workers exposed to formaldehyde May 27, 2009).

- The industry knows it has a problem with aspartame and is actively seeking a replacement. Ajinomoto, a leading producer of aspartame, has asked the FDA for approval of a new no-calorie sweetener derived from the same amino acids as aspartame plus vanillin (artificial vanilla) called Advantame (www.foodnavigator-usa.com, April 8, 2009). The company notes that the sweetener “blends very well with sugar and high fructose corn syrup.” The main alternative sweetener, Splenda (made from chlorinated sugar), has its own dangers. A recent study shows that Splenda has a negative effect on gut flora. Subjects at Duke University took various doses of Splenda over a twelve-week period. Test showed numerous adverse effects on gut flora. Even twelve weeks later, levels of some of good flora were still depressed (J Toxicol Environ Health A. 2008;71(21):1415029). The latest news is that sewage treatment fails to remove sweeteners from waste water. Researchers detected acesulfame, cyclamate, saccharine and sucralose downstream of sewage treatment plants. Manufacturers are wringing their hands—not out of concern that the sweeteners may do harm, but because the findings “might become a primary issue for consumer acceptance” (www.foodnavigator.com, June 18, 2009).
