| 03 with Rebecca Kang from | | | | technology is wonderful, but not to the |
| Singapore:InterviewQ: How often does an | | | | degree that we can be so easily manipulated |
| average person happen to consume products | | | | and so easily lead down this road of |
| with aspartame?A; Daily in the United States. | | | | imbalance.Q: Would you, at all, advise |
| Aspartame is put into so many different | | | | Singaporeans on a need to find out the safety |
| products, consumers are exposed to it without | | | | of their food? Or would you trust that to the |
| awareness much of the time. Aspartame is in | | | | health authorities?A: I would not trust the |
| many products NOT labeled sugar-free, such as | | | | authorities of any country who agree to |
| gums, cereals, ice creams, yogurts, and | | | | barter with corporations dealing financial |
| medications. I also have clients who consume | | | | gains at the expense of the pubic. I once |
| up to a 12 pack of diet colas daily. And keep | | | | trusted our leaders to be fair and truthful, |
| in mind, that children are consuming more and | | | | but cannot and do not any more. As I wrote in |
| more aspartame laced products at earlier and | | | | Sweet Poison, the FDA is not the bad guy in |
| earlier ages, which means they will develop | | | | America, and for the most part, governments |
| health problems at earlier and earlier ages. | | | | as a whole are not at fault. It is a chosen |
| Henceforth, the onslaught of children's | | | | few individuals within the government |
| disease syndromes - diabetes, ADD/ADHD, | | | | agencies who impose personal reward at the |
| depression and behavioral disorders.Q: What | | | | expense of millions of consumers.If it |
| is the limit for safe aspartame | | | | weren't for the Internet, none of this |
| consumption?A: None. No human, nor any | | | | information would be public today. Neither |
| animal, should intake methanol at any dose at | | | | you nor I would be sharing this information |
| any time - ever.Q: Aspartame is a very | | | | right now. But as a professor, researcher and |
| controversial food additive and has alleged | | | | educator, I will always believe that it is |
| harmful effects. However, is there any proof | | | | imperative that all people know both sides of |
| for that accusation?A: Numerous research | | | | any issue. Truth is freedom. To manipulate |
| studies. Reference Sweet Poison, as I write | | | | the truth is a crime. Make sure your |
| about the independent research scientists | | | | political leaders are not willing to 'make a |
| with tangible research results of harm to the | | | | deal' with the larger corporations who profit |
| fetes and adult laboratory animals. One fact | | | | at the expense of the masses. And also make |
| to note: independent researchers have proven | | | | sure the truth behind aspartame, and any |
| over and over again the dangers of aspartame, | | | | issue, is allowed to be spoken publicly. In |
| while the research stating it is safe has | | | | America, the wealthy manufacturers pay-off or |
| been performed by research scientists on | | | | threaten those who choose to air this |
| 'corporate payrolls.' This is not objective | | | | information publicly. I have much proof on |
| research but has the power of money behind | | | | this.Q: If there is any other information you |
| it. Independent researchers don't have the | | | | wish to add, feel free to include it in the |
| financial backing, so they are pushed out of | | | | reply for the interview. We might have |
| the spotlight and kept silent.Q: Would you | | | | overlooked some important points.A: Please go |
| agree that the public in general is poorly | | | | back and reread Sweet Poison, as so much is |
| informed about aspartame? If so, what are the | | | | said within those pages. This issue is real, |
| possible reasons?A: Absolutely correct. The | | | | and not meant to harm anyone (but the |
| reason is money and greed. The pharmaceutical | | | | pocketbooks of those who gain millions). This |
| companies own most of the products aspartame | | | | information is meant to teach individuals of |
| is found in, and they also own the | | | | all cultures the hidden facts and dangers of |
| advertising entities, and the drugs | | | | a manipulated and very toxic food chemical |
| prescribed for the health symptoms caused by | | | | saturating the world's food supply. Money has |
| aspartame. Therefore, the same companies who | | | | bought aspartame its position of power - not |
| are causing the problem profit from the drugs | | | | quality of goods. People are getting very |
| to mask the symptoms. They control the whole | | | | sick and weak from aspartame. That is true |
| game, and have financial interest in the | | | | and very real.Good luck in your quest for |
| government agencies responsible for public | | | | perfection, truth, and understanding. Our |
| safety.Q: We recently did a survey on the | | | | food supply is a web of confusion in modern |
| awareness of Singaporeans towards Aspartame. | | | | times. Money, greed and power are at the root |
| Results clearly show that a majority of | | | | of too many modern foods. Politics interferes |

| And also a considerable portion would not | | | | true. What do we do? Get back to the basics |
| bother to find out what it is, despite hints | | | | of eating and drinking so to feed our bodies |
| that it could be suspicious.A: Apathy is a | | | | and our minds what nature intended. Slow |
| danger in modern societies. Too little time, | | | | down, take time to meditate and get to know |
| too much pressure at work, and too many | | | | yourself. Be happy with who you are and don't |
| conveniences with too little physical effort | | | | strive for more than you need. To open the |

| younger generations are becoming lazy, too. | | | | from the past. There lie the answers of |
| If we all would learn from history and from | | | | simplicity and health.There is so much to say |
| our elders and remember to get back to the | | | | on this issue. The roots run deeply into the |
| basics of living as they once did, the | | | | self, politics, governments, and greed. All |
| diseases and mental instability caused by the | | | | you can do is be the best individual you can |
