New Mexico can take lead against Aspartame

Ruidoso News, New Mexico


New Mexico is at a very serious crossroads for consumer protection,
and I need your immediate help.

I am sponsoring Senate Bill 498, to ban the neurotoxic artificial
sweetener, Aspartame. The methyl ester in aspartame is metabolized as
methanol and then formaldehyde, both of which have disastrous medical
consequences, yet is still found in 6,000 U.S. products, including
diet sodas, sugarless gum, low-fat yogurt and Equal. The FDA rejected
Aspartame's approval from 1966 to 1981, but Searle forced it through
FDA for vast financial gain.

Corporate lobbyists are perpetuating misrepresentations that it is a
"safe" product, despite being the single most complained-about
product in FDA's history. Within the complaints, headaches and
migraines are the largest single complaint attributed to Aspartame.
Formaldehyde and methanol are hardly beneficial for diabetics.

The chromosomal effects are very serious and have minimally been
researched. It is an obvious medical imperative to take it off the
market entirely in New Mexico, and, eventually, perhaps the FDA will
do so nationally.

In September/October 2006, 21 New Mexico legislators from both
parties signed a letter to President Bush and FDA Commissioner Andrew
Von Eschenbach, asking them to rescind FDA approval for Aspartame.
Dr. Von Eschenbach responded with corporate pleasantries.

Please call your state senators as soon as possible to ask them to
support this bill, particularly by voting for it in the Public
Affairs Committee:

Steve Komadina, M.D., OB-GYN from Corrales; Gay Kernan, Senator from
Hobbs; Steven Neville, Senator from Aztec; Stuart Ingle, Minority
Leader from Portales; and Mary Kay Papen, Senator from Las Cruces.

Other key Senators who must hear from you very soon are: William
Sharer, Senator from Farmington; Lee Rawson, Senator from Las Cruces
and Minority Whip; Dianna Duran, Senator from Tularosa; Clinton
Harden, Senator from Clovis; Carroll Leavell, Senator from Jal;
Shannon Robinson, Chair, Senate Corporations Committee; Cynthia Nava,
Chair, Senate Education Committee; William Payne, Senator from
Albuquerque; Diane Snyder, Senator from Albuquerque; Sue Wilson
Beffort, Senator from Sandia Park.

Please take the time to voice your opinion to ban Aspartame (SB 498),
and ask your friends, family, colleagues, and patients to do so. The
text of SB 498 is on the NM Legislature Web site. Please Google and
read three astonishing treatises on Aspartame:

H. J. Roberts, M.D. (Internist), author of Aspartame Disease an FDA
Approved Epidemic;

Russell Blaylock, M.D. (Neurosurgeon) author of Excitotoxins and What
to do if you have used Aspartame;

Report from Ramazzini Foundation for European Oncology on Aspartame's
carcinogenicity.

I am grateful for your help and valuable medical insight which are
needed by this Legislature.

Senator Gerald Ortiz y Pino
