    Aspartame is a product I'm particularly interested in and have a passion for discussing because it is the most controversial food additive in this history of the United States. The Food and Drug Administration has more adverse reaction complaints on file for aspartame than any other food additive, ever.

    Its approval was highly controversial, ALL NON-industry-sponsored studies show connections to neurological ailments and cancers. A recent human study says it causes lymphoma and other cancers, Donald Rumsfeld was involved in its approval, Monsanto is involved, there was a criminal investigation into the approval process that looked like it would result in indictments for falsifying study data before a deputy U.S. attorney general stalled the case past the statute of limitations. He later took a job with the PR firm for GD Searle, the company responsible for discovering and marketing aspartame.

    Arthur Hall Hayes, Reagan's FDA commissioner, left his post for a job with Searle not long after aspartame was approved.

    Here's some really cool info off an aspartame timeline:

    In 1967, initial safety tests begin on aspartame, the artificial sweetener later patented as Nutra-Sweet and used in all kinds of products, from diet soda to snacks. In December of that year, Dr. Harold Waisman, a biochemist at the University of Washington, conducted aspartame safety tests on infant monkeys on behalf of G.D. Searle Co.

    The result?

    Of the seven monkeys that were being fed aspartame mixed with milk, one died and five others had grand mal seizures.

    On Dec. 18, 1970, Searle executives laid out a "Food and Drug Sweetener Strategy" that they feel will put the FDA into a positive frame of mind about aspartame. An internal policy memo described psychological tactics the company should use to bring the FDA into a subconscious spirit of participation with them on aspartame and get the FDA regulators into the habit of saying "yes."

    Meanwhile in the Spring of 1971, Dr. John Olney, the man whose work with monosodium glutamate was responsible for having it removed from baby foods, informed Searle that his studies showed that aspartic acid, one of th emain ingredients of aspartame, caused holes in the brains of infant mice. One of Searle's own researchers confirmed Dr. Olney's findings in a similar study.

    In February 1973, Searle applied for FDA approval, submitting over 100 studies that they claimed supported aspartame's safety. In March, one of the first FDA scientists to review the aspartame safety data stated that the information provided by Searle was inadequate to permit an evaluation of the potential toxicity of aspartame. She said in her report that in order to be certain that aspartame is safe, further clinical tests would be needed.

    60 Minutes had a great documentary on it back before CBS stopped doing real investigative journalism:

    Aspartame, Brain Cancer the FDA Approval Process (dangers side effects Diet Coke Zero Sucralose) - YouTube

    As did Fox5 out of Washington, D.C.

    The Dangers of Aspartame (Diet Coke Zero Side Effects Poisoning Pepsi Max Nutrasweet Sucralose) - YouTube

    Here's an article on the recent human study:

    LOL i love the argument in the petition.

    kids dont like reading reduced calories and it will be easier to identify nutritional value in milk if they dont disclose all the ingredients...
