Dear Commissioner:

For the past ___________________________ I have been plagued by the following health problems:
                     (Use this space for generalizations. Use back of letter or other pages for in-depth and supporting information)

I recently learned that aspartame, the packaged sweetening agent called Equal, NutraSweet, and other names, is in fact a dangerous toxic substance unfit for human consumption.

After the total elimination of this substance from my diet the symptoms listed above have either disappeared, or are greatly diminished.

According to your MISSION statement, the FDA must:

I. Base regulatory decisions on a scientific and analytical base and the law; and understand, conduct and apply excellent science and research.

2. Be honest, fair and accountable in all of our actions and decisions.

The above stated mission characteristics were not applied to this toxic drug. I understand that your predecessor, Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes, disregarded the fraudulent nature of test documentation submitted by Searle, and then overruled his own FDA Board of Inquiry to allow this substance on the open market. The FDA action of 27 june, 1996, allowing aspartame to be use in everything, including in heated foodstuffs, greatly compounds the gravity of this tragic action.

Those actions were not in keeping with the stated FDA mission, and were taken with total disregard to human health and safety.

Aspartame is a Pandora’s box of nightmarish effects that strikes men, women, and children with confusing and uncorrectable symptoms. It strikes especially hard at those who are most diet conscious for they are the ones most prone to use this drug. It is time to end a growing World-Wide epidemic by recognizing aspartame for what it is, a slow-acting poison now in over 9000 foodstuffs in over 90 countries.

As a Citizen of a country that takes its lead in such matters from the FDA, I expect both you, the FDA, and my government department(s) to perform your duties according to the letter of the Food and Drug laws. To this end, I demand that aspartame be reclassified as a dangerous toxin, a drug that is unfit for human consumption, and be banned from all foodstuffs forthwith.
