My beloved wife Kelli died last month. She was 37 years old. She left behind an 8 year old daughter.
Kelli died of a brain tumor. She was a heavy user of Aspartame. On a typical day, she would consume between 6 – 12 cans of diet cola. I used to joke to her that she drank so much diet Pepsi, that she should cut out the middleman and have them deliver the stuff right to our house. Her use of Aspartame did not end with diet cola. She consumed it in many products every day. Like most women, she was obsessed with watching her weight.
I have heard representatives from Monsanto claim that the product is the most widely tested and safest product on the market. It’s not a coincidence that the studies they quote to support their claim were funded by Monsanto.
There are so many doctors and scientists who are questioning the safety of Aspartame that it is time the FDA took action. I’m not a scientist, and don’t claim to understand all of the studies. However, it seems to me that when you can find a direct correlation between the introduction of Aspartame into the market and a sharp rise in the number of brain tumors, it’s more than a coincidence. It needs to be investigated.
Lives are at stake here! I do realize that it’s too late to bring Kelli back. I can’t tell you the hell we went through for the past three and a half years. Her illness took a toll on our entire family. We will suffer from her loss for the rest of our lives.
Dr. Friedman, please have the courage to stand up against Monsanto and the other big business interests trying to hide the facts. Get Aspartame off the market!
