Aspartame
EXCERPT:
According to a press release put out by the National Justice League on April 26, 2004, lawsuits were filed in three separate California courts against twelve companies who either produce or use the artificial sweetener aspartame as a sugar substitute in their products: Defendants in the lawsuits include Coca-cola, PepsiCo, Bayer Corp., the Dannon Company, William Wrigley Jr. Company, Walmart, ConAgra Foods, Wyeth, Inc., The NutraSweet Company, and Altria Corp. (parent company of Kraft Foods and Philip Morris).

Fourth Defense Verdict in an Engle Case in Two Weeks for Philip Morris USA
RICHMOND, Va., Oct 15, 2010 --
Juries in both Hillsborough County and Miami-Dade County today decided in favor of Philip Morris USA in Engle cases. The verdicts today mark the fourth time in two weeks that Florida juries in an Engle case have found for Philip Morris USA.
"We believe that both juries today reached the correct result," said Murray Garnick, Altria Client Services senior vice president and associate general counsel, speaking on behalf of Philip Morris USA. "This string of recent verdicts for the defense shows that Philip Morris USA has powerful defenses in these cases even when trial courts apply unfair procedures that do not require plaintiffs to prove their claims."
"In all these cases, the trial courts violated Florida law and due process by allowing the plaintiffs to rely on general findings from a previous jury with no connection to the specific circumstances of these cases," Garnick added.
The verdicts came in trials of so-called Engle progeny cases following a 2006 Florida Supreme Court decision that decertified a class action but allowed former class action members to file individual lawsuits and rely on general findings from the first class action. Recently, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals severely restricted the ability of plaintiffs in the federal cases to use findings from the prior Engle jury to meet their burden of proof at trial. Neither the plaintiffs here nor any of the other plaintiffs in state courts have complied with the requirements set forth by this ruling.
Last week, both a Duval County jury and a Manatee County jury returned verdicts for Philip Morris USA in other Engle cases (Warrick and Willis).
Today's verdicts were in Campbell v. Philip Morris USA and RJ Reynolds (Hillsborough County) and Frazier v. Philip Morris USA and RJ Reynolds (Miami-Dade County).

Ex-Smoker Wins $300 Million From Philip Morris

x Email ArticleFrom To Email Sent!You have successfully emailed the post. A Florida jury awarded a woman $300 million in her fraud lawsuit against Philip Morris.
They found her only 10% at fault for choosing to start smoking when she was 20. Cindy Naugle, now 60, smoked for 25 years.
Fort Lauderdale's Sun Sentinel has the full report here.
Philip Morris said it will appeal, and was quite critical of the trial judge in its statement. "Today's verdict was the result of numerous erroneous rulings by the trial judge that allowed the jury to hear extensive evidence totally unrelated to the individual smoker, Lucinda Naugle," Murray Garnick, the general counsel of Philip Morris's parent company, said. "We believe that the punitive damages award is grossly excessive and a clear violation of constitutional and state law."
While these sorts of huge verdict and settlements seem like news out of the late 1990's, big tobacco companies still face court battles relating to their advertising and allegedly undisclosed smoking risks.

Stevia wikipedia
EXCERPT:
Stevia is a genus of about 240 species of herbs and shrubs in the sunflower family (Asteraceae), native to subtropical and tropical regions from western North America to South America. The species Stevia rebaudiana, commonly known as sweetleaf, sweet leaf, sugarleaf, or simply stevia, is widely grown for its sweet leaves. As a sweetener and sugar substitute, stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar, although some of its extracts may have a bitter or licorice-like aftertaste at high concentrations.
With its extracts having up to 300 times the sweetness of sugar, stevia has garnered attention with the rise in demand for low-carbohydrate, low-sugar food alternatives. Medical research has also shown possible benefits of stevia in treating obesity and high blood pressure. Because stevia has a negligible effect on blood glucose, it is attractive as a natural sweetener to people on carbohydrate-controlled diets.
The availability of stevia varies from country to country. In a few countries, it has been available as a sweetener for decades or centuries; for example, stevia is widely used as a sweetener in Japan where it has been available for decades. In some countries, stevia is restricted or banned. In other countries, health concerns and political controversies have limited its availability; for example, the United States banned stevia in the early 1990s unless labeled as a supplement, but in 2008 approved rebaudioside-A extract as a food additive. Over the years, the number of countries in which stevia is available as a sweetener has been increasing.
Aspartame and Lou Gehrigs and Gulf War Syndrome
EXCERPT:
Another recent article by Bob Mackle is titled Two Studies Show Gulf War Vets Have Double ALS Risk:
"Two new studies appearing in the journal Neurology, one privately funded, the other federally supported, both report an above-average occurrence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis among Persian Gulf War deployed veterans." (Sept 23rd issue)
"A privately funded study by Robert W. Haley of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and a government-funded study by Ronnie D. Horner of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke in Bethesa, Md., both depict a roughly two fold risk of ALS development for U.S. veterans who were actively deployed in the Persian Gulf between August 2, 1990, and July 31, 1991, when compared with nondeployed U.S. military personnel."
"With deployed troops developing ALS more frequently and, maybe more importantly, much earlier in life than average, the two studies raise the question of whether an environmental factor could have triggered an early onset of the disease."
How aspartame causes Lou Gehrigs
EXCERPT:
Is there a connection? The government sent boatloads of diet drinks to the Gulf where they sat in the Arabian sun for weeks decomposing into formaldehyde cocktails, which the troops drank constantly to avoid dehydration. In September the peer-reviewed journal Neurology published ground-breaking studies by scientists at the Department of Veterans Affairs - concluding that Gulf War veterans, most in their 20's and 30's during the war, are contracting ALS at nearly three times the expected rate for their age group. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a horrible neurological affliction occurring to people in their 60s which gradually destroys all mobility, even the ability to swallow. Nevertheless the victim remains mentally alert, a prisoner in a private hell, his body a degenerating cage, awaiting the inevitable. The sequence is gradual, total: incapacity, humiliation, loss of physical control, paralysis, death. A ghastly reward for patriotism!
James Bowen, M.D. experienced terrible Lou Gehrigs symptoms and was being progressively destroyed, but as an MD and biochemist his research revealed that these symptoms are frequently associated with aspartame poisoning. He discontinued aspartame/NutraSweet/Equal and recovered most of his abilities and he believes many Desert Storm victims are similar aspartame victims, and if they discontinue this recognized neurotoxin in time they may well recover. Dr Bowen describes aspartame poisoning as minute doses of nerve gas that eradicates brain and nerve function. Dr. Russell Blaylock says in Health & Nutrition Secrets To Save Your Life: "In the case of diet drinks in aluminum cans, the very toxic brain aluminum fluoride compound co-exists with multiple toxins found in aspartame, thus creating the most powerful government approved toxic soup imaginable."
Arthur Hull Hayes and aspartame
EXCERPT:
ARTHUR HAYES JR. - FDA Commissioner (1981-1983)
Arthur Hull Hayes, Jr. received an M.D. from Cornell in 1964. Hayes served a two-year stint in the Army's Chemical Weapons division under President Richard Nixon.
In 1981, after over 15 years of FDA disapproval of aspartame, G.D. Searle CEO Donald Rumsfeld, in a Searle sales meeting, vowed to "call in his markers" to get aspartame approved. Twenty days later, Ronald Reagan was sworn in as 40th President of the United States, appointing Rumsfeld as Special Envoy to the Middle East and Arthur Hull Hayes Jr. - a friend of Rumsfeld's - to FDA commissioner.
On January 21, 1981, the day after Ronald Reagan's inauguration, Searle re-applied to the FDA for approval to use aspartame in food sweetener. Reagan's new FDA commissioner, Arthur Hayes, 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, but Hayes then installed a sixth member on the commission, and the vote became deadlocked. He then personally broke the tie in aspartame's favor. Hayes later left the FDA under allegations of impropriety, served briefly as Provost at New York Medical College, and then took a position with Burson-Marsteller, the chief public relations firm for both Monsanto and GD Searle. Since that time he has never spoken publicly about aspartame (Monsanto bought G.D. Searle in 1984 and the aspartame business become Monsanto subsidiary NutraSweet Co).
Burson-Marsteller also handled Johnson & Johnson's Tylenol crisis publicity campaign.
In November 1983, two months after leaving the FDA, Hayes was hired under a ten-year contract with Burson Marsteller [he received $1,000 per day for each day worked. It's not known how many day he worked.].- Rummy, Aspartame and Swine Flu , Aspartame Timeline , The Artificially Sweetened Times

Chicago Tylenol murders wikipedia
EXCERPT:Suspects
During the initial investigations, a man named James W. Lewis sent a letter to Johnson & Johnson demanding $1 million to stop the cyanide-induced murders. Police were unable to link him with the crimes, as he and his wife were living in New York City at the time. He was convicted of extortion, served 13 years of a 20-year sentence, and was released in 1995 on parole. WCVB Channel 5 of Boston reported that court documents, released in early 2009, "show Department of Justice investigators concluded suspect James W. Lewis, who now lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was responsible for the poisonings, despite the fact that they did not have enough evidence to charge him." Lewis continues to deny responsibility for the poisonings.[4][5]
A second man, Roger Arnold, was investigated and cleared of the killings; however, the media attention caused him to have a nervous breakdown, and he blamed a bar owner, Marty Sinclair, for the police investigation of him. In the summer of 1983, he shot and killed John Stanisha, whom he mistook for Sinclair, but who was, in fact, an innocent man who did not know Arnold.[6] Arnold was convicted in January 1984 and served 15 years of a 30-year sentence for second degree murder. He died in June 2008.
Laurie Dann, who poisoned and shot victims in a May 1988 rampage in and around Winnetka, Illinois, was briefly considered as a suspect, but no direct connection was found.[7]

Cadbury Mars rid dangerous E numbers
EXCERPTs 2:
1) Two confectionery giants have promised to remove artificial additives from sweets including Starburst, Skittles, M&Ms, Maynards wine gums and Trident gum after research found harmful effects in children.
The decision by Cadbury Trebor Bassett and Mars represents a victory for the Daily Mail campaign for a legal ban on seven suspect E-number additives.
2) The ingredients under suspicion are the colours tartrazine (E102), ponceau 4R (E124), sunset yellow (E110), carmoisine (E122), quinoline yellow (E104) and allura red AC (E129), and the preservative sodium benzoate (E211).
Mars brands which currently use one or more of the additives include Starburst, Skittles and two verremovesions of M&Ms, peanut and Choco.
A spokesman said: "Starburst will be free from all artificial colours by the end of this year. Skittles will be free from all the artificial colours highlighted in the study by Southampton University by the end of this year.
"We have already removed four colours mentioned in the Southampton study from peanut and Choco M& Ms and we will E104 by the end of this year."
Xylitol
EXCERPT:
Introduction
Xylitol is a five-carbon sugar alcohol, a natural carbohydrate which occurs freely in certain plant parts (for example, in fruits, and also in products made of them) and in the metabolism of humans (1). Xylitol has been known to organic chemistry at least from the 1890's. German and French researchers were obviously the first ones who made xylitol chemically more than 100 years ago. This reaction was accomplished by means of sodium amalgam reduction of D-xylose (wood sugar). Owing to the obvious impurity of the then raw material, the first xylitol preparation was a syrupy mixture also containg small amounts of sugar alcohols other than xylitol. The definitive characterization and purification of xylitol to polarographic purity was accomplished already in the 1930's.

BUTCHERS are using the illegal preservative sulphur dioxide to make old and greying meat look fresh.
A butcher in Yagoona has become the latest to be caught using the toxic additive - a major ingredient of battery acid - on beef mince.
Sainsburys claims victory race ban artificial additives products
EXCERPT:
However, they have fallen into disrepute because of health concerns and a drive among consumers for better quality, natural food.
The Southampton experts claim the additives harm the 'psychological health' of children, holding back their progress at school and their ability to learn to read at a young age.
Cadbury Mars rid dangerous E numbers
EXCERPTs 2:
1) Two confectionery giants have promised to remove artificial additives from sweets including Starburst, Skittles, M&Ms, Maynards wine gums and Trident gum after research found harmful effects in children.
The decision by Cadbury Trebor Bassett and Mars represents a victory for the Daily Mail campaign for a legal ban on seven suspect E-number additives.
2) The ingredients under suspicion are the colours tartrazine (E102), ponceau 4R (E124), sunset yellow (E110), carmoisine (E122), quinoline yellow (E104) and allura red AC (E129), and the preservative sodium benzoate (E211).
Mars brands which currently use one or more of the additives include Starburst, Skittles and two verremovesions of M&Ms, peanut and Choco.
A spokesman said: "Starburst will be free from all artificial colours by the end of this year. Skittles will be free from all the artificial colours highlighted in the study by Southampton University by the end of this year.
"We have already removed four colours mentioned in the Southampton study from peanut and Choco M& Ms and we will E104 by the end of this year."
Xylitol
EXCERPT:
Introduction
Xylitol is a five-carbon sugar alcohol, a natural carbohydrate which occurs freely in certain plant parts (for example, in fruits, and also in products made of them) and in the metabolism of humans (1). Xylitol has been known to organic chemistry at least from the 1890's. German and French researchers were obviously the first ones who made xylitol chemically more than 100 years ago. This reaction was accomplished by means of sodium amalgam reduction of D-xylose (wood sugar). Owing to the obvious impurity of the then raw material, the first xylitol preparation was a syrupy mixture also containg small amounts of sugar alcohols other than xylitol. The definitive characterization and purification of xylitol to polarographic purity was accomplished already in the 1930's. The first successful crystallization of xylitol, after reduction of purified D-xylose, took place during the second world war. This product was not, however, a stable form of xylitol. A stable, crystalline form was obtained slightly thereafter.
