Subject: The World's best Ant Poison

 

At last...a use for those little packets of junk you find in every restaurant.  And a great e-mail to share with those who are unaware of what that stuff can do to your life.  Hopefully the unaware folks will read beyond the ant poison part of this.

 

The World's best Ant PoisonFrom the June 2006 Idaho Observer: Aspartame - The World's Best Ant Poison contributed by Jan Jensen of WELLthy Choices.We live in the woods and carpenter ants are a huge problem. We have spentthousands of dollars with Orkin and on ant poisons trying to keep them undercontrol but nothing has helped.  So when I read somewhere that aspartame (Nutrasweet) was actually developed as an ant poison and only changed tobeing considered non-poisonous after it was realized that a lot more moneycould be made on it as a sweetener than as an ant poison, I decided to give it a try.  I opened two packets of aspartame sweetener,  and dumped one in a

corner of each of our bathrooms. That was 2 yrs ago and I have not seen any
carpenter ants for about 9 - 12 months.

It works better than the most deadly poisons I have tried. Any time they
show up again, I simply dump another package of Nutrasweet in a corner, and
they will be gone for a year or so again.  Since posting this information I
have had many people tell me of their success solving ant problems with this
substance, when nothing else worked.

We found later that small black ants would not eat the aspartame. It was
determined that if you mixed it with apple juice, they would quickly take it
back to the nest, and all would be dead within 24 hours, usually. I have
found that sometimes it will kill them, and sometimes it does not. Not sure
why, may be slightly different species of ants or something.


Fire Ants: We got our first fire ant hill about 2 weeks ago. Poison did not
work. We tried aspartame and the ants ignored it until we got a light rain.
It was just a sprinkle, enough to moisten the Nutrasweet and ground, but not
enough to wash it away. They went crazy, hundreds of them grabbing it and
taking it back into the mound. When I checked the mound 2 days later, there
was no sign of the fire ants. I even dug the mound up some, and still saw
none of them.  How does it Work: Aspartame is a neuropoison. It most likely
kills the ants by interfering with their nervous system. It could be direct,
like stopping their heart, or something more subtle like killing their sense
of taste so they can't figure out what is eatable, or smell, so they can't
follow their trails, or mis-identify their colonies members, so they start
fighting each other.  Not sure what causes them to end up dying, just know
that for many species of ants it will kill them quickly and effectively.  As
with any poison I recommend wearing gloves and washing any skin areas that
come in contact with this poison, and avoid getting it in your mouth,
despite anything the labeling may indicate.

The Truth About Aspartame...
Aspartame is NOT a natural substance!
Aspartame is NOT a Diet Enhancement product!
Aspartame is NOT safe - for ANYONE!
Aspartame is NOT a food "additive"
Aspartame is an  UNREGULATED  and  UNSAFE DRUG!
 (It was originally slated to be a peptic ulcer drug!)
Aspartame in liquids turns to FORMALDEHYDE above freezing!
Aspartame is even worse for DIABETICS!
Aspartame poisoning is cumulative (it adds up IN YOUR BODY!)
Aspartame byproducts get stored in your FAT!
Aspartame has 92 "Official" Side Effects (the worst is DEATH!)
Aspartame MIMICS a wide range of problems
Aspartame side effects are USUALLY MISDIAGNOSED! (By 21 doctors, in My
Case!)
Aspartame is unfit for human consumption!
Aspartame's approval by the FDA is a SHAMELESS tragedy!
Aspartame's approval for use in EVERYTHING is far worse!

Who are the culprits? FDA, Searle, Monsanto, NutraSweet and more!
The ONLY "CURE" is total exclusion from the diet!
TOTAL recovery may not be possible!
Only an irate and active PUBLIC can rid the world of this POISON!
If YOU have been affected, REPORT IT! GET INVOLVED!

FDA Audit - The Bressler Report
Jerome Bressler is now retired from the FDA but he was an employee when all
the shenanigans were going on. In a conversation with Dr. Betty Martini, Dr.
H. J. Roberts and Dr. Russell Blaylock, he admitted the studies on aspartame
were so bad that when his report was retyped, the FDA removed the worst 20
percent. So, as bad as this report is, it was originally worse. Dr. Roberts
wrote his congressman demanding the FDA release the other 20 percent, but
they refused saying it was confidential. Read the FDA report.

ABSTRACT:  The level of aspartame in a can of Diet Coke was found to be
0.06% by a food testing laboratory.  The remaining cans from one case of
Diet coke were stored under three different heat conditions for 10 weeks.

Seven cans were stored in an incubator (104 degrees Fahrenheit), seven cans
were stored at room temperature (68-70 degrees Fahrenheit).  At the end of
70 days samples were tested for levels of aspartame, formaldehyde
and DKP (diketopiperazine).  The refrigerated sample contained 0.058 percent
aspartame, 0.001 percent DKP and 53.5 parts per billion of formaldehyde.
The room temperature sample contained 0.051 percent aspartame, 0.002 percent
DKP and 231 parts per billion of formaldehyde. The incubator sample
contained 0.026 percent aspartame, 0.010 percent DKP and 76.2 parts per
billion of formaldehyde.  In addition 10 human subjects tasted each soda
sample plus a new can of Diet Coke and rated each sample for taste on a 1-4
scale with 1 being the best and 4 being the worst.  The new can of Diet Coke
received an average rating of 2.0.  The sample stored in the refrigerator
received an average rating of 2.6.  The sample stored at room temperature
received an average rating of 2.5.  The sample stored in the incubator
received an average rating of 3.8.  The effects of heat on Diet coke
produced the worst taste and the highest amount of loss of aspartame as well
as the greatest increase in levels of DKP.  The most pleasing taste was for
the new can of Diet Coke.  The room temperature sample and the refrigerated
sample scored almost the same in the taste test.  All samples revealed a
presence of formaldehyde.  However, the highest level of formaldehyde
occurred in the room temperature can.  There was also formaldehyde present
in the refrigerated sample.

BACKGROUND:  Aspartame was discovered in l965 by Searle chemist, Jim
Schlatter.  He was developing this drug for another use and after
accidentally licking his finger found that aspartame was sweet.  Today
aspartame is consumed by more than 100 million people in the United States.
This chemical (aspartame) has been approved by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) who said that an individual can safely consume 97
packets of aspartame every day.  Aspartame is in many products including
some that children use such as diet soda, light yogurt, Flintstone Vitamins,
baked goods, puddings, and Winterfresh gum.  It has been known
to cause headaches, nausea, vision problems, seizures and cancer in its
users.

The ingredients in aspartame are aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methyl
alcohol.  Methyl alcohol is a chemical that breaks down in high temperatures
and turns into formaldehyde and DKP (diketopiperazine), two chemicals known
to cause problems in the nervous system.  Aspartame's life is 262 days at 77
degrees Fahrenheit, or 25 degrees Celsius.  The FDA gets more complaints
about aspartame than any other food or drink.

The symptoms of aspartame are a lot like the symptoms of multiple sclerosis
and Alzheimer's disease.  Ever since aspartame was approved in l985, there
has been an increase in brain tumors.  There is no direct proof that
aspartame caused the brain tumors, but there is enough reason to suspect
that, and the television show, "60 Minutes" recently did a report linking
the increase in brain cancer to aspartame use.

The FDA reviewed Searle's studies of this artificial sweetener in which rats
were fed aspartame daily with their meals for one year.  There were 12 brain
tumors in the 320 rats that were fed aspartame and no brain tumors in the
120 rats that were not fed aspartame.

There was also a study done at the University of Wisconsin on rhesus
monkeys.  they were fed aspartame daily.  After day 200 of a one year study
the monkeys developed epileptic seizures.  After the study ended, the
aspartame was discontinued and the monkeys were fully watched for 60 days.
The monkeys had no more seizures.
