Thank you for stating the case so well. Incredible. And thank you for addressing the convention.

Just one issue regarding Alzheimer’s. Currently much data exists on the action of amino acids affecting brain chemistry. The latest drugs to treat Alzheimer’s are glutamate blockers. Unfortunately, Donald Rumsfeld was CEO of G.D. Searle - makers of aspartame, which when ingested breaks down and aspartic acid can be turned into glutamate in the body in one chemical step. The U.S. military is fed MSG in their MREs and was supplied diet sodas sweetened with aspartame - which breaks down in heat. Right now soldiers serving in the Gulf are coming down with higher incidences of A.L.S. - also affected by glutamic acid. We won’t get the answers to the potential cause of these diseases (Alzheimer’s and A.L.S.) while Donald Rumsfeld is in a position of power, either, since he supported and worked for the industries like Monsanto which make and sell the amino acid additives MSG and aspartame.
