In the November 1996 issue of the Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology, John Olney, M.D. and his colleagues Nuri Farber, M.D., Edward Spitznagel, Ph.D. and Lee Robins, Ph.D, all from Washington University in St. Louis, report that brain tumor rates have risen in the United States over the past 17 years in two distinct phases. Olney became interested in the neurotoxic potential of aspartame in the mid 1970's, after his discovery that the widely used food additive monosodium glutamate (MSG) destroys nerve cells in the brain when fed to immature animals. This link between MSG and neural damage eventually caused the food industry to stop adding glutamate to baby foods. Because aspartame is chemically related to glutamate, Olney later fed aspartame to immature mice and found that it also destroyed nerve cells in the brain. On the basis of this evidence, Olney protested the approval of aspartame and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Alexander Schmidt granted him a hering at a Public Board of Inquiry (PBOI). The Commissioner also stayed the approval of aspartame, pending further investigation. #Aspartame #BrainTumors #Neurotoxin #Poison #FDA #DrJohnOlney #Wakeup #CokeZero #DietSoda #illuminati #AlexanderSchmidt #monosodiumglutamate #monosodium #glutamate #Siriusknows #Siriusknowledge
