NZFSA
Refuses To Meet Betty Martini
The
Soil & Health Association and Safe Food Campaign are calling for the New Zealand
Food Safety Authority (NZFSA) to meet with visiting aspartame expert Dr Betty
Martini.
Dr
Martini has been refused entry at NZFSA today, even though Alison White of Safe
Food Campaign has an aspartame presentation along with aspartame sufferer Abby
Cormack. NZFSA have also discounted any future possible meeting with senior staff
or scientists by Martini, which calls into question the purpose of NZFSA,â€
said Soil & Health spokesperson Steffan Browning.
The
carcinogenic, neurotoxin sugar alternative aspartame has been implicated in many
serious illnesses and NZFSA is putting its head in the sand over this issue. Dr
Martini has had access to top EU and UK officials so she should be able to get
the same access in New Zealand.
Martini
who has the ear of all the main scientist players in the international anti-aspartame
debate - Drs Soffritti, Roberts, Blaylock, Olney, and Cabot, is being hosted in
New Zealand by Soil & Health Association and Safe Food Campaign.
Dr Martini
was invited to New Zealand in the wake of Abby Cormackâ€s well
publicised poisoning with sugar free chewing gum.
Food
Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) who set the actual food standard for aspartame
in New Zealand have yet to respond to a meeting request. A meeting would show
that these agencies are capable of considering resisting the influences of the
international pharmaceutical and food giants, and their dubious food safety assertions,â€
said Alison White, Co-convenor of Safe Food Campaign.
Dr
Martini is able to refute the aspartame misinformation that NZFSA promulgates,
and she has documented proof that the FDA (US Food & Drug Adminitration),
which NZFSA slavishly accepts, knew of the cancer causing and other serious health
properties of aspartame.â€
