        Companies That Are Aware of The Dangers of Aspartame

                      And Still Sell It


There is a belief amongst some individuals that corporations have
a responsibility to act ethically.  As more and more information 
comes out about the serious danger associated with medium-term and 
long-term aspartame ingestion, many companies will probably claim 
that they were simply listening to the FDA and knew nothing about the 
dangers.  What follows will be a listing of companies that I feel 
have been made more than adequately aware of the dangers and continue 
to push the poison.  (Detailed descriptions below the list.)

Detailed Descriptions

1.  Coca Cola Corporation

    As part of the National Soft Drink Association (NSDA), they
    questioned aspartame's safety as early as 1983.  Despite the
    fact that no adequate answers to NSDA's serious safety questions
    were presented by the aspartame manufacturer to the general 
    public, Coca Cola Corporation decided to push aspartame onto the 
    unsuspecting public.

    They have recently been made well aware of the scientific 
    evidence that shows aspartame's potential danger.  They are also
    aware of countless serious health problems linked to their
    "product" and other aspartame-containing "products" including
    seizures, vision loss, arthritic symptoms, memory loss,
    depression, death, menstrual problems, weight gain, severe
    migraines, tremors, panic attacks, and a myriad of other 
    serious neurological and gastrointestinal symptoms.

    The Coca Cola Corporation chooses to ignore the growing evidence 
    of severe dangers associated with medium-term and long-term use of 
    aspartame.  They are pushing this poison worldwide -- putting
    profits as their first priority and "health" apparently is not
    even on their priority list.

    Obviously, people should avoid their dangerous aspartame-
    containing beverages.  In addition, moving to a naturally-
    sweetened beverage such as can be found at a health food
    store (e.g., Santa Cruz Naturals, R.W. Knudsen, etc.) or 
    from my sweetener resource list on this web page.  These
    types of beverages are much healthier than drinks made by Coca 
    Cola Corporation and just as tasty.


2.  Twin Laboratories, Inc.

    Twin Labs is an interesting case.  They sell some very useful 
    products.  However, they have been sent extensive information
    about aspartame which demonstrates that the "scientific"
    information they had been relying upon for safety is severely 
    flawed.  The nutritional consultant to Twin Labs appears to be a 
    very smart and caring person.  Unfortunately, he seems 
    uninterested in the extensive information provided showing that 
    Monsanto/NutraSweet's studies are laughable (at best) and that
    many people are getting seriously hurt from ingesting aspartame.

    Twin Labs sells products which boldly proclaim, "NO ARTIFICIAL 
    SWEETENERS ADDED" -- as if to take pride in the "naturalness" of 
    their product.  Yet they turn around and put a dangerous, 
    artificial sweetener, aspartame, in other products that they sell.
    They could simply put no sweetener in their "diet" product and 
    "supplement" their product with naturally sweet, time-tested-safe
    ingredients such as stevia or licorice.  They are aware of this, 
    but for some reason choose to ignore it.
