If you knowingly consume Artificial sweeteners, so I strongly recommend you read this, but unfortunately many unknowingly consume it, because a product is very well hidden, in more than five million foods, including chewing gum, soft drinks, jelly and medicines for children.

Aspartame is considered by health experts as the most dangerous food additive on the market. It is a very controversial and complex because organizations expressing security are numerous and very powerful.

So, with both parties, both with their "independent" experts, it comes down to who do you trust?

The following will be considered:

History

Aspartame is the technical name for the brand names NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal measure. It was discovered by chance in 1965 by James Schlatter, a chemist of GD Searle Company. Schlatter was testing an anti-ulcer drug when he discovered this sweet. (3)

Searle saw its promise as a sweetener, but was repeatedly denied by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) because of security concerns.

In 1977, Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense George Bush today, but then CEO of pharmaceutical company GD Searle, publicly stated that he would "call his markers" to win a license for aspartame. The day of his inauguration as president in 1981, with Mr. Rumsfeld on his transition team, Ronald Reagan personally wrote a decree suspending the head of the Food and Drug Administration authority on aspartame. A month later, Mr. Reagan appointed a new head of the regulatory authority, Arthur Hayes, who granted a license for the sweetener. (1)

Is it the history of more shadow government relations of the United States? or is it just another conspiracy theory?

In 1996, a review of research found that aspartame All studies funded by industry found aspartame safe. But 92% of independent studies have identified one or more problems with its security. (1)

In the Food and Drug Administration of the final decision on the approval of aspartame (Fed. Reg. 46:38289, 1981), the Commissioner said:

"Few compounds have withstood such detailed testing and repeated, close scrutiny, and the process through which aspartame has been providing the public with additional confidence of its security." (2)
