Take Aspartame Out Of Our Food Supply

The FDA needs to put the health of the American people before the profits of U.S. corporations.  Aspartame has been linked to triggering brain tumors - stated by a former senior toxicologist with the FDA.  The FDA has received 10,000 consumer complaints on this substance & the FDA has complied a list of 92 symptoms - including death.  Most common symptoms include: headaches, memory loss, seizures, vision loss, coma, and cancer.  It also appears to worsen or mimic the symptoms of such conditions as fibromyalgia, MS, lupus, ADD, diabetes, Alzheimer's, chronic fatigue, and depression.  Aspartame is known to make people hungrier & fatter.  Considering the epidemic of obesity in this country, we should be doing everything in our power to stop this!  Other countries have banned this substance from entering their own countries, labeling this substance a carcinogen.  Even New Mexico has taken steps to try to ban this deadly substance.  Unfortunately, the FDA is influenced by big corporations - in this case, Searle, who manufactures this substance.  We request that the FDA immediately remove aspartame from our food supply, including all manufactured foods, diet sodas, vitamins (including children's), toothpaste, etc.
