Dr. Russell Blaylock | Excitotoxins, Food Industry Corruption, & Killing Us Softly
Aspartame Approval History, Donald Rumsfeld and G.D. Searle
Dr. Blaylock and Greg Carlwood recount the political maneuvering used by Donald Rumsfeld to get aspartame approved by the FDA in the early 1980s. Despite animal studies showing links to brain tumors and lymphoma, the sweetener was pushed through by Commissioner Arthur Hayes Jr. Dr. Blaylock cites the Ramazzini Institute studies in Italy as definitive proof of aspartame's long-term carcinogenicity.
