Coke, Pepsi Make Changes to Avoid Cancer Warning

Coincidence?

Not at all.
Juggalos want dead fetuses too.

did you know that aspartame is a rat poison in higher concentrations but we are forced to drink it in diet soda's. as a diabetic i know there are countless other sweeteners that taste the same, even better but are not used because of stupidity and cheapness of the aspartame. if coka cola wanted too with their annual revenues and pepsi among others; they could very easily produce these other sweeteners but why change GREED?

stop buying their product, write the FDA and your politican and things will change. cola cola once had cocaine in it and had to change, then they could rust nails and adding an aspirin could get you stoned. this was abolished, now its the aspartame not a smoke screen of other crap that has to be addressed.

fuck coca cola and fuck pepsi

to hell with sugar

Yeah it's astonishing how bad regular refined sugar consumption is, and how NOBODY does anything against it. Just milk the sheeple...

That may be no longer true. Coca Cola is bying HUUUGEE tracts of land in South America and Asia to produce Stevia for their products. Don't know if it's already in their products, or maybe an precaution.
Sorry for doubleposting.

One of the most rotten people on Earth was behind Aspartame getting approved for human consumption, Donald Rumsfeld the Nazi from the Bush administration. The great people at Monsanto are also behind it.

Yes, that Donald Rumsfeld, the "knowns and unknowns" guy who remarkably executed some of the worst decisions in American foreign policy and got a medal for it. I have been reading up on this strange chapter in the history of Donald Rumsfeld and have learned two things. One, the chemical additive aspartame is very potentially a cancer and brain tumor-causing substance that has no place in our food. And two, the reasons and means by which Rumsfeld helped get it approved are nefarious at best, criminal at worst. And by the way, that medal that Rumsfeld got back in 2004 was the Presidential Medal of Freedom, also awarded to Tommy Franks, George Tenet and that charming warrior L. Paul Bremer. Evidently, "Freedom" means the right to use your powerful friends in Washington to approve your company's dangerous substance for human consumption and make a fat bonus on the way out the door. So how did aspartame become legal? And more importantly, if it had been rejected multiple times over fears of brain tumors and cancer, why?

Dr. John Olney, who founded the field of neuroscience called excitotoxicity, attempted to stop the approval of aspartame with Attorney James Turner back in 1996. The FDA's own toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross told Congress that without a shadow of a doubt, aspartame can cause brain tumors and brain cancer and that it violated the Delaney Amendment, which forbids putting anything in food that is known to cause cancer. According to the top doctors and researchers on this issue, aspartame causes headache, memory loss, seizures, vision loss, coma and cancer. It worsens or mimics the symptoms of such diseases and conditions as fibromyalgia, MS, lupus, ADD, diabetes, Alzheimer's, chronic fatigue and depression. Further dangers highlighted is that aspartame liberates free methyl alcohol. The resulting chronic methanol poisoning affects the dopamine system of the brain causing addiction. Methanol, or wood alcohol, constitutes one third of the aspartame molecule and is classified as a severe metabolic poison and narcotic. How's that Diet Coke treating you now?

In the peer reviewed journal, Aspartame: Methanol and the Public Health, Dr. Woodrow Monte wrote: "When diet sodas and soft drinks, sweetened with aspartame, are used to replace fluid loss during exercise and physical exertion in hot climates, the intake of methanol can exceed 250 mg/day or 32 times the Environmental Protection Agency's recommended limit of consumption for this cumulative poison." The effects of aspartame are documented by the FDA's own data. In 1995 the agency was forced, under the Freedom of Information Act, to release a list of aspartame symptoms reported by thousands of victims. From 10,000 consumer complaints, the FDA compiled a list of 92 symptoms, including death. Dr. Betty Martini, the founder of Mission Possible International, works with doctors around the world in an effort to remove aspartame from food, drinks and medicine. According to Dr. Martini, aspartame has brought more complaints to the FDA than any other additive and is responsible for 75% of such complaints to that agency. More recently, the EPA found Aspartame to be a potentially dangerous chemical along with BPA, which you've no doubt heard a lot about in the news lately. Aspartame, not so much.

Martini says NutraSweet is a "deadly neurotoxic drug masquerading as an additive. It interacts with all antidepressants, L-dopa, Coumadin, hormones, insulin, all cardiac medication, and many others. It also is a chemical hyper sensitization drug so that it interacts with vaccines, other toxins, other unsafe sweeteners like Splenda which has a chlorinated base like DDT and can cause auto immune disease. It has a synergistic and additive effect with MSG. Both being excitotoxins, the aspartic acid in aspartame, and MSG, the glutamate people were found using aspartame as the placebo for MSG studies, even before it was approved. The FDA has known this for a quarter of a century and done nothing even though its against the law."

So how does Donald Rumsfeld fit in to all this? A little history:

In 1985, Monsanto purchased G.D. Searle, the chemical company that held the patent to aspartame, the active ingredient in NutraSweet. Monsanto was apparently untroubled by aspartame's clouded past, including the report of a 1980 FDA Board of Inquiry, comprised of three independent scientists, which confirmed that it "might induce brain tumors." The FDA had previously banned aspartame based on this finding, only to have then-Searle Chairman Donald Rumsfeld vow to "call in his markers," to get it approved. Here's how it happened:

Ronald Reagan was sworn in as president January 21, 1981. Rumsfeld, while still CEO at Searle, was part of Reagan's transition team. This team hand-picked Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes, Jr., to be the new FDA commissioner. Dr. Hayes, a pharmacologist, had no previous experience with food additives before being appointed director of the FDA. On January 21, 1981, the day after Ronald Reagan's inauguration, Reagan issued an executive order eliminating the FDA commissioners' authority to take action and Searle re-applied to the FDA for approval to use aspartame in food sweetener. Hayes, Reagan's new FDA commissioner, appointed a 5-person Scientific Commission to review the board of inquiry's decision. It soon became clear that the panel would uphold the ban by a 3-2 decision. So Hayes installed a sixth member on the commission, and the vote became deadlocked. He then personally broke the tie in aspartame's favor.

One of Hayes' first official acts as FDA chief was to approve the use of aspartame as an artificial sweetener in dry goods on July 18, 1981. In order to accomplish this feat, Hayes had to overlook the scuttled grand jury investigation of Searle, overcome the Bressler Report, ignore the PBOI's recommendations and pretend aspartame did not chronically sicken and kill thousands of lab animals. Hayes left his post at the FDA in November, 1983, amid accusations that he was accepting corporate gifts for political favors. Just before leaving office in scandal, Hayes approved the use of aspartame in beverages. After Hayes left the FDA under allegations of impropriety, he served briefly as Provost at New York Medical College, and then took a position as a high-paid senior medical advisor with Burson-Marsteller, the chief public relations firm for both Monsanto and GD Searle. Since that time he has never spoken publicly about aspartame. FYI, here's Rachel Maddow on Burson-Marsteller: "When Evil needs public relations, Evil has Burson-Marsteller on speed dial." Evil, thy name is chemical food additives.

Here's the kicker: When Searle was absorbed by Monsanto in 1985, Donald Rumsfeld reportedly received a $12 million bonus, pretty big money in those days. Also, while at Searle, Rumsfeld was awarded Outstanding CEO in the Pharmaceutical Industry from the Wall Street Transcript (1980) and Financial World (1981)! Imagine that...

I don´t drink alcohol but i´d rather give my 10yo kid a beer than those lousy fizzy&sugary drinks. Less chances of them liking it and the side effects are on the long term less damaging.
Attention we are a Teetotaler household and i´m not on any way condoning the use of alcohol at any stage of Life. Just used the example to make a point.

 

[Hydro-Soil]

About 60% of Americans are overweight and sugary drinks are a big part of the problem.

The issue is mainly the HFCS High Fructose Corn Syrup in all the processed foods and drinks.

Straight up... the body doesn't process it like sugar and sucrose... it bypasses the insulin trigger and tends to produce...... fat.

Eat enough corn syrup for enough years and you'll get Type II Diabetes.... change your diet back to what it's supposed to and "Like Wow Man!" it F'ng goes away.


Everyone love the food pyramids walking around these days?

 

[elmanito]

Not only HFCS High Fructose Corn Syrup damage your inside, but what to think of phosphoric acid in coca cola, yep what we give to the plants during the flower period, it will dissolve your bones and will cause erosion on your teeth.

Namaste

 

[Hammerhead]

im not a soda drinker but i keep crush in the fridge for others

 

[Feyd]

I drink soda all the time...

I also know exactly how bad it is for me. i know that i've drank most of my excess calories and it has contributed to me putting on a few extra lbs... but i dont drink like 12 cans of soda a day.
i love soda though. can't deny it. i love the sugary disgusting carbonated water...

 

[serious6]

forgot to mention im a dr. pepper diet drinker as then you dont taste the aspartame. got it with cherry now too. diet ginger ale kicks ass too. the odd bottle of ginger beer takes all your worries away; if you survive drinking it!

crush kicks ass, had my first TIN of orange crush 53 years ago and then they graduated to the brown bottle. love the lime and the grape too. do you remember FANTA? came in grapefruit and triple caffiene. like mt. dew does now.

 

[Hash Zeppelin]

fuck coca cola and fuck pepsi

to hell with sugar


----

edit : I know some people who really love a glass of pepsi or some that are really into coca cola and I would never mention it to someone directly, like I would not tell someone who is smoking a cigarette that smoking is bad for them

but it has to be known that refined sugar can have disastrous consequences on our health

it's hard to find stuff without it

I am so hopelessly addicted to that crap. Save me gobermint!

Nothing that a little time in a Govt. sponsored GSE 'health re-education camp' won't fix.
Ok, the carrot juice colon cleanse ain't so much fun, but the daily sing a long to the Ummm, Ummm, Ummm song will cheer you up.

After a few years of GMO corn bread and pink slime spread and working 14 hour days in the solar panel factory you will be very trim and fit.

Free health care too...once you get on the waiting list. They're working hard to cut down that 8 month wait time.
If you get on the list...that can be tricky.

OMG, not the dreaded dissolving bones. That didit. No more for me.

 

[serious6]

so, drink the UN COLA: 7-UP rocks, ginger ale, dr. pepper, and mt. dew! lots more choices in the usa then up here in canada.

just dont drink any carbonated soda with cajan or red/green hot peppers. or try it if you dare!

My fault i didnt know we were splitting hairs. It contains "aborted fetus cells" to help flavor

http://www.naturalnews.com/034777_Pepsi_aborted_fetus_cells_soda_flavoring.html

This thread is a perfect example of the lack of critical thinking skills all too often seen around here.
Some idiot lawmaker from OK misunderstands something he read, then other people misunderstand what they read about it, then we get fools here saying that soda contains stem cells.

Jesus Christ! Some people should just stay away from the Internet, since they can't even follow the links that they provide. Read and try to comprehend that NPR one maybe, then come back and tell me soda contains human stem cells.

Apologies to the many other IC members that actually have brains and know how to use them.

Sugar? lol

Only if you were so lucky, In America they only use the finest high fructose corn syrup and aspartame.

I seen some shit on tv when they did a taste test of American coke vs Mexican Coca cola. American's scoffed at the Mexican coke, picked it our right away and said they didn't like it. Reason being Mexican coke is made with real sugar and comes in a glass bottle. Not like the toxic brew in a leaching plastic bottle that's sold in the US.

I try to warn my family that excessive soda drinking is the fast track to diabetes And diet soda isnt the answer either, it worse. A lot of people just aren't aware of how bad these drinks are for you. Sometimes I think people think Im crazy, but I might be more sane then all of them.

Mexicoke FTW
