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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
Patients with systemic, lip, and oral contact allergy will often
improve with an elimination diet of related ingredients.
Elimination diets for avoidance of many common preservatives,
antioxidants, and other food additives have not been published.

OBJECTIVE:
This study aims to create rational elimination diets (including lists
of acceptable alternative foods) for several common food ingredients
(propylene glycol, sorbic acid/sorbates, aspartame, benzoic
acid/benzoates, propionic acid and propionates, gallates, and benzoyl
peroxide).

METHODS:
Data from www.foodfacts.com, a Web site listing ingredient information
for more than 75,000 foods, were extracted and sorted into products
types, and an elimination diet was created for each of these
food-related substances.
Easily obtainable alternatives were identified and listed.

CONCLUSIONS:
Use of food elimination diets may yield improvement in some patients
who have not improved with external avoidance of allergens.
