In 1999, "The Independent" published an article
entitled "the most widely used
sweetener in the world is produced by genetically modified bacteria,"
which revealed that Monsanto used deliberately adding aspartame in soft drinks
in the United States
- and that aspartame is produced from genetically modified bacteria.
This report, which remains one of the oldest information on
aspartame appeared in a mainstream publication, went unheeded on appearance -
perhaps because the implications of this information has been underestimated
over time and thus the information forgotten.
Since 1999, the world became a little more attention to
Monsanto and aspartame, but ignorance still abounds regarding its origin. While
more and more people are discovering the destructive effects of aspartame on
our health, they really know what is the process of technological?
Fortunately, a document from 1981, the production of
aspartame, hidden drawers with patent offices, is now available online for
everyone to see - and confirm all that Monsanto was pleased to communicate 1999
before their spectacular development to claim that greater caution.
The patent, entitled aspartame production is accredited to
Bahl, Rose, and White, summarizes the process as follows:
"Aspartame
artificial sweetener, a dipeptide ester of formula a N-methyl-Aspartyl is
produced using a microorganism cloned [???]. A DNA encoding a stable peptide
great length, consisting of an amino acid sequence which is multiplied
(aspartyl phenyl), is inserted into a cloning vehicle, which, in turn, is
introduced into a suitable host organism. The host organism is cultured in a
culture medium and large peptide comprising the amino acid sequence, is
harvested therefrom. Free carboxyl group of the peptide is then hydrolyzed resulting
benzyl alcohol and benzyl phenyl Aspartyl dipeptide. This dipeptide is
methylated and then debenzylated by known as aspartame .."
The scientific jargon hides (perhaps deliberately) a really
exciting process:
1. "Microorganisms
cloned" (which patent shows them as a form of genetically modified
Escherichia coli) are grown in tanks whose environments are tailored to help
them multiply.
2. Cultures of E. coli proteins well-nourished filter
segment containing the amino acid phenylalanine, aspartame needed to obtain
aspartame.
3. Proteins that contain these segments are
"collected" (e.g. laboratory workers collect the slurry the
bacteria).
4.) Faeces are then treated. It includes a process of
methylation (addition of an excess of toxic alcohol, methanol, to protect the
dipeptide).
While common sense indicates that this abomination has no
place in close proximity to people, the inventors made no secret of their
belief that aspartame is a safe and nutritious sweetener:
"Aspartame is not
only more sweet than sucrose, but it is preferable that food and sucrose. While
sucrose can provide just a little more energy body, aspartame is composed of
amino acids, the building blocks of proteins in the body, and like other
proteins, digested by digestive enzymes in the stomach to its constituent amino
acids, thus giving nutritional value. [...] For these reasons, aspartame
promises in the future to replace sugar with sweeteners. "
So here we have it: an official document not only reveals
the shocking truth behind the production of aspartame, but also admits that it
was deliberately intended as a substitute for mass consumption of sucrose.
Therefore, the next time someone claims that your apprehension about this
sweetener is unfounded, sent him to study this document - for the truth behind
aspartame is now in sight.
