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.

One show in 1995, discussing the Veggie Libel Bill in TX, generated lots of listener interest and was responsible for 60,000 calls flooding the switchboard at the Texas Capitol in Austin, asking Governor George W. Bush, to Veto the Bill, which essentially made disparaging remarks about any perishable food or beverage, a Criminal Offense. In September of that same year, the Bill slipped through, without Gov. Bush either Veto-ing or Signing it.
__________
On USA Radio Network, which aired on 200 stations nationwide and internationally on the Internet, Stoddard and co-host, Doug Kauffman held court for two hours each Saturday morning … interviewing interesting guests and taking callers from all over the USA.

In fact, this U.S. Broadcasting Pioneer, billed as the "First FCC Licensed Female on Dallas Radio" and the entire Southwest, got her start in the Greater Houston Area, in 1954, on KULP AM Radio (El Campo, TX), on the Texas Gulf Coast, while she was still in High School. Heck, she couldn't even drive herself to the station on her own at the time, relying on her Mother for transportation.
__________
In college, in Waco, Texas, as a Voice Major at Baylor University, Stoddard (Then, Mary Nash), also worked at W-A-C-O AM Radio ... heard on the air on Singing Jingles, Station Ids/Liners and headed the stations Copy Department, writing all the ads for sponsors.

After a detour through Mineral Wells, TX, where she worked at KORC AM, with studios in the famous Baker Hotel, she (then, Mary Nash Sanders), left in Spring 1964, to take a job as Traffic Director at Radio Icon, Gordon McLendon's Flagship KLIF AM in Dallas, Texas. While there, in addition to scheduling all the commercial ads the station ran during a 24-hour period, her voice could also be heard on Station Ids and lots of ads for sponsors, on one of the Top Radio Stations in the U.S.

Stoddard followed that Historic Broadcasting coups by starting, with husband, Mike Stoddard, the first Community owned and operated Radio Station in Texas…KCHU AM, in downtown Dallas studios. Mike and Mary were Founding Board Members, each with their own hour long show. Mary hosted and produced "Conversations," where she interviewed some of Dallas most influential Movers and Shakers, along with a few visiting Hollywood celebs and visiting Star Entertainers.
