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.

Aspartame Induces Lymphomas and Leukemia in Scientifically Published Test Results

Dallas, July 19 2005 — Studies published in two scientific journals link the artificial sweetener Aspartame to lymphoma and leukemia in rats and spontaneous changes in thinking and behavior in people, the Aspartame Consumer Safety Network reported here Wednesday.
“The release of two scientific studies -one in Italy, the other,Africa, warns that the artificial sweetener, aspartame, commonly found in diet drinks and 7,000 products worldwide, may cause more harm than once thought possible,” said network founder Mary Nash Stoddard of Frisco, Texas.
“The first study was released this week, in the European Journal of Oncology by Morando Soffritti and coworkers,” Stoddard said.
“This study clearly demonstrates a significant increase in several types of lymphomas and leukemia in rats. . . . These malignancies have increased dramatically, since the widespread use of aspartame,” said neurosurgeon and author Russell Blaylock, M.D., in Jackson, Mississippi.
The second study is The dose-dependent effects of Aspartame on Serotoninergic Parameters in Albino Rats, by B.A. Iwalokun, Department of Biochemistry, Lagos State University, Lagos, Nigeria. Study results provided strong indications that aspartame may alter serotoninergic parameters and associated behaviors, Stoddard said.
The abstract was published in the abstract book from the November 12 through 14th, 2004, Third International Conference on Mechanisms of Action of Neutraceuticals, at Maggie Valley Resort, North Carolina.
An earlier 1993 study, published in Biological Psychiatry by Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine, Ralph G. Walton, M.D. shows: “Administration of this substance has also been associated with aggression and bingeing.” An evolving view in modern psychiatry is that although depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, impulse control disorders and eating disorders have been viewed as separate entities, they should be viewed as a continuum of disorders – all involving some degree of dysregulation of serotonin. “I believe there is overwhelming evidence that aspartame contributes to this dysregulation,” said Dr. Walton.
In a 1997 lecture at University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, published, 1998 in toxicology sourcebook, Deadly Deception Story of Aspartame, Stoddard told students:
“Individuals are reporting, to ACSN, cases of brain tumors and non-Hodgkins lymphoma.”
In 1986, Stoddard was diagnosed with a life threatening blood disease, eosinophilia myalgia, after adding aspartame to her daily diet. When she ceased using it, the illness went away.
