Debate rages over sugar substitute
Does aspartame cause cancer?
Mon, 29 Sep 2008 6:16a.m.

Aspartame is the artificial sweetener commonly found in products such
as diet soft drink, lite yoghurt and sugar free gum to name just a
few.

But recent reports linking it to a range of diseases including cancer
and brain lesions have seen sales of aspartame-containing products
plummet as New Zealanders returned to consuming their high-sugar
alternatives.

Is there any foundation to the claims? Dr Bernadene Magnuson is a
toxicologist who is in New Zealand, sponsored to present a series of
seminars by Coca Cola. Both she and Abby Cormack, who believes she is
a victim of aspartame poisoning, spoke to Sunrise.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make a formal complaint?
3 is required by the Broadcasting Standards Act 1989 to comply with
the Codes of Broadcasting Practice.

These codes have been developed by Broadcasters in consultation with
the Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA).

If a viewer believes that a programme has breached any standards in
those codes he or she may make a formal complaint to the broadcaster.

The law says that formal complaints must be in writing and sent to
Broadcasters first and that they must have procedures to deal with
such complaints.

If a complainant is dissatisfied with the outcome of a formal
complaint she or he can refer it to the Broadcasting Standards
Authority for investigation and review.

A formal complaint to the Broadcaster must…

* be in writing (and preferably include the words "formal complaint")
* identify the specific programme - time of day and where broadcast
(channel or station)
* identify the reasons for the complaint- preferably citing specific
standards from the Codes of Broadcasting Practice
* be received within 20 working days of broadcast

Privacy complaints are handled differently. Where a Broadcaster is
alleged to have invaded someone's personal privacy, the formal
complaint can be made directly to the Broadcasting Standards
Authority, without first going to the broadcaster.

IMPORTANT ADDRESSES:

Formal complaints must be sent initially to the Chief Executive of the
Broadcaster.

My thorough review of major flaws in the BA Magnuson et al 2008 review
of aspartame shows omission or unjustified dismissal of many major
competent mainstream studies -- especially those that show hazards
from the body's inevitable conversion of the 11% methanol (wood
alcohol) part of aspartame into formaldehyde and formic acid:

Aspartame is a widely used artificial sweetener that has been linked
to pediatric and adolescent migraines.

Upon ingestion, aspartame is broken, converted, and oxidized into
formaldehyde in various tissues.

We present the first case series of aspartame-associated migraines
related to clinically relevant positive reactions to formaldehyde on
patch testing. PMID: 18627677

formaldehyde from many sources, including aspartame, is major cause of
