Food: The Ultimate Secret Exposed, The Dark Side of Food Industry
The Dark Side of the Food Industry was exposed in Alex Jones video Food: The Ultimate Secret Exposed.
People the over the world, especially in the United States of America are under chemical attack.
Dangerous and deadly toxins, ranging from Aspartame to Fluoride, GMO, Mercury-tainting, pesticides, plastic compounds, cloned meat and new aggressive species of salmon, have an important role of our diets and environments. Whether we want it or not, we are in DANGER.
Alex Jones demonstrates in his video the deliberate criminal poisoning of the food and water supply.

wow this is some crazy stuff, who knew?
Alex thanks for all that you do to wake up humanity
This post about aspartame is as wrong as wrong can ever be. It is generally the same garbage posted by a variety of people who really don’t know much about which they write. As a former university educator, I need to share with you the real facts about aspartame safety.
Let me note that I have no financial or any biasing connection with the aspartame or related sweetener industries. I really don’t care whether you use sweeteners or not and if you do, which you choose. What unfortunately many believe about aspartame comes out of misguided, ignorant, and dead-wrong internet arguments of Roberts’, Blaylock, Mercola, and a few others. People must know that they and many in this campaign make money selling books while foisting this twenty-year old falsehood on people everywhere.
There are three fundamental, documentable problems that this website and these and other physicians just can’t understand or seem to conveniently neglect. First, their inadequate understanding of pharmacology and toxicology is worth noting. In reality “everything is toxic”–only dose determines separates a drug from a poison (e.g. botulinum toxin used in cosmetic procedures is one of the most toxic substances known). So any suggestion that aspartame (or any substance for that matter) is a poison MUST include a dose and the specific toxic response or it is by default meaningless ranting. These physicians seem to have no understanding of the relevant sciences, so they cannot understand why science authorities do not accept their arguments.
Second, those people critical of aspartame fail to understand or simply ignore decades of science supporting the safety of this sweetener. Not only have there been many safety studies (aspartame is perhaps the most studied substance known), there has been nothing published that withstands scrutiny sufficiently to question aspartame safety ever. Studies expressing contrary facts were poorly designed (Soffritti et al) or errant in their conclusions (Trocho et al (Alemany)); their papers are open to serious scientific criticism, some of which is now known, but some of which has not even been officially reported yet. (You might be able to find my comments about why these papers are rejected posted to other antiaspartame blogs I have written). In short though there is NO scientific concern by FDA or other world’s regulatory agencies about aspartame; in fact the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) just again reconfirmed its safety.
Third, the critics just don’t understand or prefer to neglect the vital importance of folate biochemistry in aspartame processing. Certainly there are people who are sensitive to aspartame or at least claim they get sick immediately after using aspartame, etc. And headaches seem a consequence in some people. But a strong case can be made that any sensitivity to aspartame (headaches included) stems from any of a wide range of preexisting personal nutrition or biochemical issues that center mostly on the vitamin folic acid (folate), its frank deficiency, folate enzyme abnormalities, or the consequences of either that can cause accrual of homocysteine.
Critics as in the above continue to scream their concern about aspartame, because they also fail to understand that these same factors facilitating personal sensitivity to aspartame may well underlie susceptibility to many disorders associated not really with aspartame, but with these folate issues. Aspartame is degraded to the all-natural substances phenylalanine, aspartic acid, and methanol even before absorption. (So there is no way it can be absorbed intact to pass the blood-brain barrier; this is a refuted claim. ) Both amino acids are abundant in the foods we normally eat at higher doses. People with the genetic condition phenylketonuria are unable to tolerate the vital, essential amino acid phenylalanine and are warned to avoid aspartame-containing products on the label. The other constituent of aspartame is methanol.
While methanol isn’t really very toxic itself, some people are uniquely sensitive to methanol’s oxidation product formate. Formate and its removal is the real medical concern from methanol poisoning. However, low methanol and thus formate intake is also vital. That is because formic acid is recycled by the folate-B12 vitamin systems to methyl groups that perform two main functions. They detoxify the real and very powerful excitotoxin homocysteine (Wikipedia: homocysteine) producing methionine or they form methylene groups that convert uracil to thymine. Uracil incorporation into DNA occurs in the absence of thymine; that causes unstable and breakable DNA and cancer not evident with thymine replacement. These folic acid transformations are absolutely vital to life and why folate and B12 are vitamins and why methanol at low doses, like those found in fruit juices or aspartame, is just as vital.
Aspartame is perfectly safe used as directed, but still some people may show varying degrees of sensitivity (headaches, etc). These arise not from aspartame, but from the user’s own underlying biochemistry. Some people are ultrasensitive (allergic) to formate (perhaps from childhood insect stings). But most sensitive people are deficient in folic acid (a vitamin), have genetic folate abnormalities (called polymorphisms; Wikipedia: Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase), or have high blood homocysteine (Wikipedia: homocysteine). Homocysteine may be the most potent excitotoxin and many people have high blood homocysteine most frequently because of some folate issues. Other factors influencing sensitivity include consumption of ethanol (which strongly inhibits folate enzymes and that explains why it raises formate concentrations; fetal alcohol syndrome, etc.) and antiepileptic drugs. ALL aspartame “symptoms” may be seen as a direct consequence of underlying personal issues residing in formate sensitivity, whether through allergy, folate or other issues. None have anything to do with aspartame safety. But this formate sensitivity “straw that broke the camels back” issue is why aspartame-associated symptoms disappear after ceasing use. The bigger question is whether people who show aspartame sensitivity are still fundamentally at risk from many folate-associated diseases? That includes MS, lupus, diabetes, many cancers (brain and breast cancer) and other problems. Perhaps aspartame sensitivity is a marker for innate susceptibility to many diseases and cancers?

This is all an actuality, check it out!
I would like to determine how wide spread this is in Canada? Much of our food is shipped in from the States!
There is not a diet soft drink or gum on the market in Canada, that does not contain Aspartame, I checked!
John E. Garst, Ph.D. ,
Are you also a scientist like John P. Holdren, only you work in Canada for one of these industries?
Who do you work for sir? Just out of curiosity?

John E. Garst has also left a comment on my blog http://dccandc.blogspot.com/. I’d like to ask him the same question.
His comment: “BS. If you want the true facts about aspartame visit snopes.com, aspartame.net, or better yet the full text 2007 Magnuson review

The latter is conducte by 10 experts in the field.

Which is lovely – it’s a report saying aspartame is safe.
At the end of the 01 September 2007 report it says:
“The identity of the sponsor of this review
was also unknown to peer reviewers and the editor until
acceptance of manuscript. The sponsor was Ajinomoto Company,
Inc.”
Who are Ajinomoto Company?
“Ajinomoto of Japan, the world’s largest manufacturer of both aspartame and MSG”

This is where it gets slightly bladerunner
Check out their president:

Ajinomoto is active in 23 countries and regions worldwide, employing around 24,861 people as of 2004. Yearly revenue stands at US$9.84 billion.
