Hawaii Senate Hearing on Aspartame

Further news on attempts to ban Aspartame in Hawaii. Hearing in the state Senate scheduled for Monday!

From Stephen Fox:

THIS AFTERNOON, Thursday, I am happy to report that Sen. David Ige, Majority Floor Leader and Chairman Hawaii Senate Health Committee, came to realize the merit in scheduling a hearing for Senate Bill 2506, to ban aspartame in Hawaii. This was against all odds, because Rep. Josh Green, M.D., Chairman of the House Health Committee, “deferred” hearing the bill, thus killing the House Bill, carried by Rep. Mele Carroll.

  1. Patrick, I’ve really appreciated these aspartame posts you’ve been putting up. I’ve sent out a few emails, and I’ll send another round this weekend. Very cool that they’re having a hearing after all.

    There’s been a new study in the news here for the past week or so. Apparently they’ve been able to make some definitive connections between artificial sweeteners and all kinds of health problems. Hopefully that, along with loads of letters and support, will help influence the outcome of the hearing.
