BIO Mary Nash Stoddard on Twitter

PRESENTING: MARY NASH STODDARD - Co-Founder of the massive international anti-aspartame movement in the mid 1980's, following the brain tumor death of her forty two year old husband, Mike. Ms. Stoddard suffered a life threatening aspartame-related blood disorder in 1985, whereupon, The NutraSweet Co. offered her an all-expense paid vacation for two anywhere in the world, if she would agree to be tested by their doctors. She declined, with the blessing of her doctor, and the rest is history. She has conducted multi-national lecture tours and is a popular visiting professor at colleges, universities and medical schools. "Deadly Deception - Story of Aspartame" is a toxicology sourcebook, edited by Ms. Stoddard, documenting the harmful effects of the world's most toxic artificial sweetener. The companion one hour "Deadly Deception" video is further documentation - taped at a prestigious scientific conference. Stoddard's efforts, over more than two decades, led to the present rejection of the sweetener by many of the food and beverage giants of industry, as they rush to distance themselves from the liabilities associated with use of a neuro-toxic substance in their products. She has testified in court as an Expert Medical Witness and like her counterpart, Erin Brokovitch, helped with a number of lawsuits on behalf of consumers. Her powerful message has reached millions around the world through the airwaves on radio and television, in print and through popular personal appearances.

that appeared in the Federal Register of February 8, 1999 (64 FR 6100).
The document announced that Monsanto Co. has filed a petition proposing
that the food additive regulations be amended to provide for the safe
use of L-Phenylalanine, N-[N-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-L--aspartyl]-,1-methyl ester as a
general use sweetener. The name of the additive appeared incorrectly in
the SUMMARY section. This document corrects that error.

From: Mary Stoddard
Organization: Aspartame Consumer Safety Network

James Turner and I want to thank Congressman Dick Armey for
setting up the historic meeting this month with top officials of the
Food and Drug Administration. No anti-aspartame campaigner has met
 with FDA officials since the Senate Hearings in 1987, when Turner and 
Stoddard met at FDA Headquarters in Washington to present the case
 for aspartame being re-called and retested as a drug instead of a Food 
Additive. We also want to thank Environment News Network for featuring 
our story today in their widely-read publication. And, to FOX TV Washington 
for airing our story on the unprecedented meeting at FDA offices with
George Pauli, Blondell Anderson and Rudolph Harris. One major correction
to enclosed story: Congressman Armey told constituents Stoddard and
Anesthetist, Larry Taylor at a private meeting in his Dallas office [1988] that
his wife no longer drank diet drinks because they gave her headaches. 
[As far as I know Armey has never used aspartame as a sweetener.]

Prior to meeting with FDA in Washington D.C., I was the invited
guest lecturer at American University's School of Journalism, Master's Class,
Saturday, October 2.

Best wishes to you,

Mary Nash Stoddard, Founder
Aspartame Consumer Safety Network and Pilots Hotline [1987-present]
