How many of you have lost friends or family that have recently “died suddenly?” Here’s yet another one … aspartame researcher and my good friend Dr. Woodrow Monte. I was shocked when I learned of his recent sudden death. We were working on a book together – The Aspartame Files.
I hope you’ll go back and watch the last youtube video we did together in 2023 where we casually talked about what people never hear …. Woody told so many stories about aspartame that we are blessed to hear.
Long Ago
One of the first aspartame researchers proving a long time ago that aspartame caused MS, auto-immune diseases, fetal deformities and even death, Dr. Monte proved in his research that aspartame can cause autism.
He uncovered an FDA memo dated September 11, 1978 describing birth defects and serious developmental brain damage in the offspring of laboratory rabbits whose mothers were fed aspartame during pregnancy.
This memo and the research it describes were kept hidden for over 30 years from 1978 until January 2011 when the memo was finally released as the result of a Freedom of Information request.
Dr. Monty published this memo in his amazing book, While Science Sleeps. The US Food and Drug Administration memo dated September 11, 1978 was written by Dr. Thomas Collins of the Animal Toxicology Branch to the Chief of the Food Additive Evaluation Branch.
Then, it was buried from public view. Woody brought it back to life to help others.
Collins had documented the disturbing discovery of “significant” multiple neural tube birth defects in rabbit pups whose mothers were fed aspartame during the course of several different toxicity studies. Both G.D. Searle and Hazelton Laboratories performed the studies between 1974 and 1975.
Dr. Collins evaluated the studies and his conclusions were astonishing: “In both of the rabbit studies, aspartame appeared to cause birth defects.“
Oh but there are more studies, and both Dr. Monte and I have them in our books for you to see for yourself; especially if you are pregnant and a mother. We were planning to combine our research into an explosive book proving the cover-up of aspartame’s dangers titled The Aspartame Files.
I’ll get this book out, Woody.
Aspartame And Autism
During his aspartame research at Arizona State University, Dr. Monte performed one of the first studies proving that aspartame and methanol caused neural tube birth defects. Sadly for his lab rats, he discovered that, indeed, the methanol in aspartame caused neural tube birth defects in the rat pups.
In 2009, The Center for the Evaluation of Risks to Human Reproduction of the U.S. National Institutes of Health published this 500 page report:
Humans are much more sensitive to methanol toxicity than laboratory animals …. The inhalation of methanol by pregnant rodents throughout the period of embryogenesis induces a wide range of concentration-dependent teratogenicity and embryolethal effects. Treatment-related malformations, primarily extra or rudimentary cervical ribs and urinary or cardiovascular defects, were found in fetuses of rats … Increased incidences of exencephaly and cleft palate (neural tube birth defects) were found in the offspring of … mice … There was increased embryo/fetal death … and an increasing incidence of resorptions. Reduced fetal weight was observed … fetal malformations … included neural and ocular defects, cleft palate, hydrocephalus and limb anomalies.
Woody drew the conclusion that the rise in autism matched the market debut of aspartame in diet colas. The research proved him correct.
Dr.Helen Ratajczak’s data, from the Department of Education, clearly showed in her studies that the beginning of the autism epidemic coincided with the approval of aspartame in carbonated beverages.
This was the time when cola machines with diet drinks were introduced into every public school, library, and mall in the USA.
Methanol And Autism
According to Woody’s research, the methanol in aspartame is the main culprit fueling the rise in autism.
Methanol is 10% of aspartame’s three ingredients, and methanol is also known as formaldehyde, a methyl molecule formed by the oxidation of methanol. In a nutshell, the methanol in aspartame releases from its bond with the other 2 ingredients phenylalanine and aspartic acid at 86 degrees F, so it liberates into a free-form inside of your body, and eventually oxides into formaldehyde.
The only way to get formaldehyde into the nucleus of your cells is by using methyl alcohol. When a pregnant woman takes a sip of a diet cola and the aspartame reaches her stomach, it releases methanol into her bloodstream.
The methanol can then quickly pass through her placenta and into the blood and brain of the developing fetus. All that is needed to cause fetal deformation is for the methanol to make contact with ADH enzymes in the child’s brain.
Once in the brain, the methanol is converted into formaldehyde, and this can attach to the child’s DNA. If methylation takes place, genes that were never meant to be touched can be damaged – they are turned off.
Ongoing research shows a link between methylation and autism. This growing body of research is proving that methylation does influence the development of autism.
Rest In Peace, Woody
Woody had answers to autism for decades – but sadly, they were kept from you. Read the good books like Dr. Monte’s book and my book, Sweet Poison, to confirm what we’ve been saying for decades – that the FDA, the AMA, and the pharmaceutical companies knew over 50 years ago about autism’s relationship to aspartame.
If your child has autism or if you have recently been diagnosed with MS, definitely avoid ALL aspartame!
Rest In Peace, Dear Friend. Your life DID make a difference.
