Just as safe as agent orange.....and Aspertame

Monsanto is a US based agricultural company. Its key business areas are agrochemicals, seeds and traits (including GM crops) and GM bovine growth hormones. Until the late 1990s Monsanto was a much larger ‘lifesciences’ company whose business covered chemicals, polymers, food additives and pharmaceuticals as well as agricultural products. All of these other business areas have now been demerged or sold off. Historically Monsanto has been involved with the production of PCBs¹, dioxins and the defoliant/chemical weapon ‘Agent Orange’.<sup>2 

Who now assure us GMOs are safe regardless of proven science to the contrary...</sup>

The FDA is ever mindful to refer to aspartame, widely known as NutraSweet, as a "food additive"-never a "drug." A "drug" on the label of a Diet Coke might discourage the consumer. And because aspartame is classified a food additive, adverse reactions are not reported to a federal agency, nor is continued safety monitoring required by law.1 NutraSweet is a non-nutritive sweetener. The brand name is misnomer. Try Non-NutraSweet.

Food additives seldom cause brain lesions, headaches, mood alterations, skin polyps, blindness, brain tumors, insomnia and depression, or erode intelligence and short-term memory. Aspartame, according to some of the most capable scientists in the country, does. In 1991 the National Institutes of Health, a branch of the Department of Health and Human Services, published a bibliography, *Adverse Effects of Aspartame*, listing not less than 167 reasons to avoid it.2
