Got milk? No, just lies - Page 12

I think the most important issue is, do you want this crap in our food at all, and do you want to know about it before you buy it.

Just drink it .. !!! 

Our government wouldn't allow anything bad happen to us much less genocidal  .. gezzzz 

Some here must think insurance and big pharma companies profit off sickness or something. 

Besides Nutra Sweet is only a neurotoxin according to the US Air Force ... that's some GOOD STUFF !!!

Drink Up !!!

Moons, I agree with you.
BE, that's funny!
Blitzen, Hexe is talking about the CURRENT laws. The article addresses what is being asked to have changed. Read the article, not Hexe's post if you want to know what the thread is.

Dammit, joanro, you're simply, flat-out WRONG about this.  This is NOT about them NOT having to indicate on the label of the product that aspartame has been added to the contents.  This is about being able to add aspartame to the product and still have the front label read "MILK" instead of having it read "Artificially-sweetened milk" or "Reduced calorie MILK". On the label on the back of the package, or whereever the contents/ingredients are listed, it WILL have to say, "vitamin D, aspartame, processed cocoa" and whatever else has been added to the pasteurized lactated fluid that has been collected from the mammary glands of cows which we call milk.

<sigh> OK, folks, you STILL don't get it.

NO ONE is asking that they be permitted to add aspartame [or arsenic, or cocaine, or lead] to milk, yogurt or other dairy products without having to list the addition of the substance on the product's label. What they ARE asking is that, after adding aspartame to milk or yogurt or whipped cream, that they still be able to call it milk, yogurt or whipped cream--instead of having to call it 'milk beverage' or 'yogurt food' or 'whipped cream food'.  They will STILL have to list the addition of the aspartame on the label of the product--just not on the front of the package.   Never mind the fact that it is mandatory for ANY food product to have the following information on the packaging:

the five mandatory components found on all food labels.

• statement of identity
• net contents of the package
• name and address of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor
• list of ingredients
• nutrition information

 

 Maybe the NBC News report will make it clearer to you all, as I don't seem to be able to effectively communicate to you so you grasp the fact that the addition of aspartame or anything else added to the milk will STILL have to be listed on the label IF the FDA approves the industry's request.

If after reading the NBC News article, you're still convinced that the point of the petition is to have the FDA allow the industry to mix aspartame into dairy products with nary a mention of the substance's presence, then there's simply no help for you.

Good luck, Hexe.

Blitzen, I'll ignore you for now, since all you do is hang on Hexe's apron strings, but Hexe, even though you have proclaimed me to be non-helpable , what does redefine milk mean? P.S. Hexe, if you don't want to read the entire article ( first post on page one) take a look at Macaho's post on this page, he even high lighted it for you and Blitzen.

Don't just ignore me for now, make it permanent please.

I've known Hexe for a long time and have come to learn that she doesn't come here shooting off her mouth before she loads her brain. I tend to believe what she says.
 

Blitzen, as long as you continue to go after me on posts, it's not possible to ignore you permanently :-/ By the way, if you are saying I shot off at the mouth regarding this thread, I did not write the article which you seem incapable of comprehending if you even read it. LOL. But I don't care if you are able to comprehend the article, I didn't post it to you specifically. No, that would be futile, as anything I post or say is automatically ridiculed by you, that's ok tho, 'cause I won't loose any sleep over your opinion of me &;-)
