corporate crime in aspartame toxicity research: President Bush

2004.10.23 Hello Will,
http://www.willthomas.net/Contact/index.htm

http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/nation/preside-
nt/2004-09-21-macho-men-cover_x.htm Jill Lawrence and Judy
Keen reported in USA Today 2004.09.22 page 1: Cover story:
Election is turning into a duel of the manly men: It's more
than posturing: Image may win key states.

""Bush, who uses a treadmill on Air Force One during long
trips, is the first presidential candidate to run ads in
health clubs. He was once an avid runner, but aging knees put
an end to that. Now he works out aboard a mountain bike. He
loves to fish, and he hunts and golfs occasionally."

Joint pain, especially in the knees, are among the major
complaints with chronic aspartame (methanol, formaldehyde,
formic acid) toxicity.

In The New Yorker 2004.09.13 pages 56-71, David Remnick in
PROFILES The Wilderness Campaign Al Gore, four years later,
describes Al and Tipper drinking coffee, tea, and alcohol, but
no Diet Coke, at several meals.

In the 2000 campaign, there were were many stories describing
him drinking as much as 6 Diet Cokes daily.

Can you check this out? If he has quit it, and is finding much
improved health, that gives an unusual opportunity to
spotlight at a crucial juncture yet another serious failure in
the Bush administration and to help many unaware victims by
making discussion of this contentious issue legitimate.

Let me know if I can help in any way. You may utilize anything
I have ever posted.

In mutual service, Rich Murray

unexamined co-factors in Nurses Health Study: formaldehyde and
formic acid from methanol in dark wines and liquors and the
11% methanol part of aspartame: Murray 2004.09.23

Formaldehyde, an acknowledged human carcinogen, which is
prevalent in modern society, is a largely unacknowledged
co-factor that must impact many of the studies based on the
Nurses Health Study.

One major source is the methanol impurity, about one part in
ten thousand, in dark wines and liquors, which is converted
by the body into formaldehyde and then formic acid, both
potent, cumulative toxins that affect every tissue, and are
seen by experts as the main cause of the infamous "morning
after" hangover.

Anaesthetist at the National Hospital for Neurology and
Neurosurgery, London WCIN 3BG, UK ]

Editorials Hangovers: Not the ethanol - perhaps the methanol

"Chapman found that hangover symptoms were almost twice as
common in volunteers who drank 1.5 ml/kg [ body weight ] of
bourbon whiskey - which has methanol concentrations of 26
mg/l - as in those drinking the same dose of vodka ( 3.9 mg
of methanol per litre ). (5) [ For a 60 kg person, this would
be 90 mg bourbon, 0.09 l, giving 2.34 mg methanol, which led
to twice as many symptoms as the 0.35 mg methanol from vodka.
The bourbon gave as about as much methanol as an ounce of
diet soda. ]

Pawan compared the hangover produced by different types of
drink (but only one brand of each) in his study of 20
volunteers. The severity of hangover symptoms declined in the
order of brandy, red wine, rum, whisky, white wine, gin,
vodka, and pure ethanol.(6) Vodka and pure ethanol caused only
mild headaches in two volunteers.

Jones has suggested that it is the metabolism of methanol to
formaldehyde and formic acid that causes symptoms of hangover,
with quicker methanol metabolisers suffering more.(7) The
justification for this suggestion is threefold: the types of
drink associated with more severe hangovers contain higher
levels of methanol; the time course of methanol metabolism
corresponds to the onset of symptoms; and a small dose of
ethanol, which blocks the formation of formaldehyde and formic
acid, provides an effective treatment for hangovers ("the hair
of the dog")."

Jones AW (1987) found next-morning hangover from red wine with
100 to 150 mg methanol
(9.5% w/v ethanol; 100 mg/l methanol = 0.01%, one part in ten
thousand).

The expert review by Monte WC (1984) states: "An alcoholic
consuming 1500 calories a day from alcoholic sources alone may
consume between 0 and 600 mg of methanol each day depending on
his choice of beverages (Table 1)...." Table 1 lists red wine
as having 128 mg/l methanol, about one part in ten thousand.

Fully 11% of aspartame is methanol -- 1,120 mg aspartame in
2 L diet soda, almost six 12-oz cans, gives 123 mg methanol
(wood alcohol) -- the same amount that produces hangover
from red wine.

"Between a quarter and a half of drinkers claim not to
experience hangover symptoms despite having been
intoxicated. (three citations)" This indicates a remarkable
range of individual vulnerability to formaldehyde and formic
acid exposure.

Other strong formaldehyde sources are tobacco and wood smoke,
and the particleboard and new furniture, carpet, and drapes
especially concentrated in mobile homes. Many personal care
products contain formaldehyde; for instance, leather shoes can
cause foot dermatitis.

Similar levels of methanol, and its inevitable products in the
human body, formaldehyde and formic acid, can also ensue from
fermentation of fruit pectins in the colon.
