Ajinomoto: Aspartame will be called AminoSweet

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

Ajinomoto says in a press release published at foodbev.com that the company is launching a new initiative that will brand aspartame AminoSweet.

Ajinomoto says the new name reflects that the artificial sweetener comes from the same amino acids found in foods indicating that the compound is as safe as food or amino acids.

Aspartame is the methyl ester of a phenylalanine/aspartic acid dipeptide, according to wikipedia.

Naturalnews.com, an advocate for natural health, said this move is a tactic to fool those who would otherwise avoid aspartame by all means to use foods and beverages with the sweetener.

Some animal model studies suggest that high intake of sodas with aspartame may lead to long term side effects including increased risk of cancer.  But not all studies come to the same conclusion.

The Food and Drug Administration which approved the use of aspartame in human foods in 1974 has been saying the additive is safe to use.

I am pleased to see that you take issue with these pathetic dummies who feel compelled to add in a pinch of Ajinomoto or MSG or
Aspartame-metabolized-as-methanol, then becomes formaldehyde!

Would you please be willing to write a letter to FDA commissioner, Dr. Margaret Hamburg, MD, backed up by one to your United States Senators, to ask them to take away or rescind their approval for aspartame containing products, thus taking it off the market permanently?

Re: Ajinomoto; Everything they make is a neurotoxic or carcinogenic poison, like Aspartame and MSG. This is one of the biggest corporate killers on the planet! Please read this article:

Here is another excellent one explaining how it got approval:

Any chance you could ask your two US senators and Congressman to ask the
FDA to take it off the market by rescinding its FDA approval? You might find them very receptive.
