Racketeering Charges Filed Against NutraSweet Co., American Diabetes
Association, Monsanto & Dr Robert H. Moser for Manufacturing
and Marketing
"Toxic Aspartame"
San Francisco, CA:
A RACKETEER INFLUENCED & CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS [RICO]
complaint has been filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern
District
of California. The suit, filed by a member of The National Justice
League,
charges the defendants with manufacturing and marketing a deadly
neurotoxin
unfit for human consumption, while they assured the pubic that
aspartame
(also known as NutraSweet/Equal) contaminated products are safe
and
healthful, even for children and pregnant women. Present Secretary
of
Defense Donald Rumsfeld is mentioned throughout the lawsuit.
As evidence, an explosive affidavit from a former employee of
the G.D.
Searle Co - the developer of aspartame - will be made public at
a National
Press Conference on Thursday, September 16 at 11:00 a.m. at the
Sheraton
Grand Sacramento Hotel, 1230 J Street, Sacramento, California
95814, phone
(916) 447-1700.
For 16 years, the FDA denied approval of aspartame because of
compelling
evidence of its contributing to brain tumors and other serious
disabilities. Donald Rumsfeld, present Secretary of Defense in
the Bush
Administration, left President Ford's administration as Chief
of Staff to
become the CEO of aspartame producer G D Searle Co. in 1981. Shortly
after,
Rumsfeld became the CEO, and the day after President Reagan took
office,
aspartame was quickly approved by FDA Commissioner Arthur Hayes
over the
objections of the FDA's Public Board of Inquiry. Hayes had been
recently
appointed by the Reagan Administration. Shortly after aspartame's
approval
by the FDA, Hayes joined NutraSweet's public relations firm under
a ten
year contract at $1,000 a day.
Aspartame/NutraSweet was the product of the G. D. Searle Co.
In January
1977, the FDA wrote a 33 page letter to U.S. Justice Department
Attorney
Sam Skinner: "We request that your office convene a Grand
Jury
investigation into apparent violations of the Federal Food, Drug
and
Cosmetic Act." Skinner allowed the Statute of Limitations
to run.
Three FDA Commissioners and eight other officers and Skinner
took jobs in the aspartame industry shortly after it was approved
in 1982.
The Food and Drug Administration once listed 92 adverse reactions
from
10,000 consumer complaints and sent the list to all inquirers.
In 1996 the
FDA stopped taking complaints and now denies existence of the
report.
Seizures, blindness, sexual dysfunction, obesity, testicular,
mammary and
brain tumors and death, plus dozens of other dread diseases named
in the
suit arise from the consumption of this neurotoxin.
There's a lot more to this story...
