Bob,
I'm at a bit of a loss with this one. Don't suppose you would care to
qualify your opinion with something more than quack, quack would
you? As I recall the last time I visited the aspartame issue
(researched it for several weeks, up one side and down the other) the
problems and concerns were very real. Aspartame hasn't changed. Human
biology hasn't changed.
Neither human biology nor the scientific standards of proof. Let me
say first that I don't use aspertame, don't promote its use, or even
think it has value in our society, oh and I don't hold any stock in or
have any connection with the product. That having been said, the facts
are simple . there is no scientific evidence which shows harm in the
normal use of this product, with the single exception of infants
diagnosed with PKU. Asking me to prove it does no harm is well nigh
impossible. (the old proving a negative problem)
Todd, you said you investigated the issue. What are your findings.
Shouldn't the onus be on evidence of harm?What did you find, beyond
testimonials and feeble speculation? Animal studies, well controlled
laboratory results, Double blind trials? Where is the evidence?
And I don't mean things like aspertame contains methanol, methanol is
poisonous, therefore Aspertame is poisonous. Or the body is not used
to amino acids. I have seen these arguments way too many times. Give
me studies in per reviewed journals, and I will give a look see and let
you know of my conclusions.
We both know that just because something has found its way onto the
shelf and been assigned a status of below regulatory concern by a
very biased institutional process that doesn't somehow make reality
disappear.
Something a little more concrete from someone other than Donald
Rumsfeld would serve well at the moment.
Ok how about this, Some 50 plus million people here in US use it
daily, why hasn't epidemiological evidence turned up harm? I was a
graduate student many years back. I mention this only to point out
that proving that conventional wisdom is wrong is sort of a holy grail
to science researchers across the universe. If there is data to
disprove the conventional wisdom that aspertame is safe as used, then
why hasn't a graduate student in epidemiology found anything?

Nothing personal to you but all I can say about Mercola is QUACK,
QUACK. see for example his totally bogus, nonscientific diatribe
about aspertame. It is right up there with other wackos such as
Betty Martini.

Thanks for the links. Dr Marcola is a known specialist in his
field, so this should prove an interesting read.
